How time flies when you're having fun.

What seemed a distant event is now in the 30 day countdown. From the first time I heard the rumor, it was easy to believe and easy to imagine. Disney was going to build Aulani Resort and Spa in Ko Olina. She is opening August 29th and we are excited!

The Disney family is a pretty good family to have moving into our neighborhood! Not only for the investment and jobs that will be brought, but for the quality of the corporation and the people who are part of it. Now that she is ready to open, it is clear to see that they delivered on all counts.



The View from one of our Villas - 2 bedroom Ocean Views $400/ Night +/- & fees

If you are interested in viewing vacation rentals on Lagoon 2 adjacent to the Disney Aulani, we offer 2 and 3 bedroom, ocean front Beach Villas for 7 night minimum leases at Very competive rates. To view Available Beach Villas for Rent, Click Here

Ihilani Hotel - Marriott Disney site Beach Villas Marriott Beach
Club timeshares

As I have said before in this forum, Ko Olina is a beautiful place and The Aulani Resort and Spa that Disney has created speaks volumes of how beautiful the area is on her own merits. The Aulani Resort and Spa is located on a crescent shaped lagoon and will be built between the Ihilani Hotel, a 5 star Marriott property and the Beach Villas at Ko Olina which are the residential villas we own and/or manage for rent above. These are the first year round residence opportunities on any of the 4 Ko Olina Lagoons.

A wonderful beach trail connects the 4 lagoons on a mile and a half coastline trail. There are 5 other communities within the gates of Ko Olina which are Kai Lani, Coconut Plantation, Ko Olina Kai, Ko Olina Hillside and Ko Olina Fairways. Several of them are built along the perimeter of the Ko Olina Golf Course which is world class and currently Michelle Wie's home course. Lastly, there is a beautiful marina with nearly 300 slips in what is one of if not the best marinas in the State of Hawaii.

Ko Olina is officially within the city limits of Kapolei and is a neighborhood more than an independent city. I would guess that the 5 communities have over 1,500 residences between them within walking distance to the new hotel site. The school district is Kapolei and it has several new schools and bus service to them from Ko Olina. Ko Olina is about 3 miles away from the center of Ko Olina and I think you'll find the area a good place to live as well as a great place to raise a family.

More to come!

Feel free to contact me if you are interested in Ko Olina, whether it's for work, play or investment, let me know and I'll do my best. To send me an email, CLICK HERE

OT 801 ( #1), 1205 (#3), 301 (#5), 205 (#6) Beach Tower 702 (#2) & 1001 (#4)

Each of the units above have the photos from their Lanai's, and the pictures above are from the Architects Model to give you a feel of the Beach tower and Ocean tower as well as the locations within them. The Beach Tower is the building closest to the beach and the Ocean Tower is the building toward the back of the property with the views of the grounds and the ocean. I am very familiar with each of these properties and as a resident of Ko Olina, can assist you with other information about the area also.

In a recent development, due to a dispute between the Home Owners Association and the owner of the Commercial Apartment where the Fitness Center is located, the fitness center is currently unavailable until a meeting of the minds can be reached. I do hope that will be remedied, but at this point the sides are far apart, and I doubt that it will be worked out in the near future. Unless you were planning on being able to use exercise machines while you are out here, I doubt you would notice the difference, but it is something that was available and currently is not so I wanted to make you aware of that and if there is a change I will update the website.

So let me know if you see something you like. I am a licensed REALTOR in the State of Hawaii and have an ownership interest in OT 801, OT 301 and BT 702 and live and work in Ko Olina. I like to think of myself as an excellent resource if you find yourselves curious about Ko Olina real estate as an investment opportunity as well.

I look forward to hearing from you!

3 Bedroom Ground Floor Kai Lani With Ocean View
Available For Minimum 1 Year Lease

Located within Ko Olina Resort and Marina, Kai Lani is one of the 5 residential neighborhoods within the Resort and is my favorite of all of them. Kai Lani is a low density development and nearly all of the units have varying degrees of Ocean Views and this unit is no exception. In addition to the closest proximity to the ocean of all the neighborhoods except the actual Beach Villas, Kai Lani is where you will wake up in the morning and know you are in Hawaii! This unit is currently leased through the end of February but is available for limited showings during this month by appointment.




Available for a minimum 1 year lease for $2,800 per month plus GET, it provides a great opportunity for you to live in Kai Lani. Property is being leased unfurnished but Stainless Steel appliances and washer & dryer are included in this 3 bedroom and 2 bath main floor townhouse. Ready to move into on March 1st, 2011.



Stainless Steel appliances and Granite Counters



The open floor plan has plenty of room to enjoy the space and views



Wake up in the master suite with a view of the ocean and enjoy the convenience
of your large walkin closet, granite double vanity and seperate shower and tub



Enjoy the Sunsets every evening from your covered Lanai

Located on approximately 11 acres with 30 buildings situated for maximum serenity and greenspace, Kai Lani is a peaceful retreat. As a gated community, you'll enjoy a feeling of security and with the impeccably landscaped grounds, everyday you wake, you'll take both pride and pleasure in your home. You can walk along paths through the Ko Olina resort to the restaurants and lagoons or if you want a little quiet time, you can go to the little beach in front of Kai Lani for some snorkeling or just to have some quiet time. When sunset comes, this is a favorite spot of mine.




As a tenant at Kai Lani, you'll be able to enjoy the pool in the neighborhood as well as many of the amenities in the resort like the fitness center and tennis courts which are all included benefits from your Home Owner Association. Here are some pictures of those added features:


Pool and Spa with Bar B Que and Meeting Area



This is an Example of the building architecture. Each building contains
4 units (2 downstairs units and 2 upstairs units) Each home includes a
1 car garage and an additional assigned parking space.

It is my pleasure to be able to offer this wonderful home for a minimum 1 year lease. The HOA fees include all exterior maintenance, landscaping and yard care, exterior building insurance, pool, and membership to the Ko Olina Sports Club which includes a gym, tennis courts and discounts throughout the resort. So whether you choose to rent the property or purchase the home, you'll enjoy full access to the Sports Club facilities, a community that you'll enjoy calling home and a wonderful home just steps to the beach and located in the Ko Olina Resort and Marina.


As you can see, the beach is just a short walk to your home!

This is truly a Resort location where 5 star hotels, a LPGA golf course and a world class marina are located. Currently Disney has chosen Ko Olina as the site of their latest property and is currently under construction with a completion date of August 2011. If you've always wanted a place in Hawaii, I would encourage you to seriously consider this property while the prices are low and the best are available.
