Ko Olina is sometimes overlooked as a place to not only vacation, but to live year round. There are currently 6 different neighborhoods sprinkled throughout the resort and each of them have a different look and feel to them. Settings, architecture, amenities and price range all create different choices depending on what a person is looking for. What they all share in common is being located in the beautiful Ko Olina resort. 5 of the communities will allow you to be members of the Ko Olina Sports Club with access to the tennis courts, gym and discounts within the area.

Located within 3 miles of Kapolei, Ko Olina offers convenient access to shopping but the relaxed atmosphere of living within walking distance to 4 gorgeous lagoons and miles of walking trails. As you drive in, you know you've arrived to a special place, and it is easy to understand why Disney has selected Ko Olina to build their Newest entry to their Disney Vacation Club,  Aulani  " A Disney Resort and Spa". She will be opening on August 29th, 2011 and that's about a month away as I write and she looks lovely!  

             

Here is a picture of the entrance to the Ko Olina area with the 24 hour Aloha team check in on the roadway in the right of the picture.

Each unit has a single car garage and there are 1st floor and 2nd floor units. Of all the communities, Kai Lani is the smallest and offers the best of the best in terms of privacy and views.

As you continue on into the Resort, you'll pass the Marriotts Ihilani 5 star Hotel and then adjacent to this fantastic property, you'll come to the future site of the Disney Hotel. Located on 23 + acres and fronting the second half of the largest of the 4 Lagoons, this should be quite a transformation to the area.

A walking trail leads from the community to the pro shop and 1st tee box of the golf course for those who share that affliction.
