MAHALO!

SPECIAL DISCOUNT FOR REMAINING NIGHTS DURING OCTOBER AND NOVEMBER, 2009. JUST ASK AND WE WILL GLADLY DO IT!

Everyone on Oahu knows the Ilikai Marina; ask any kama'aina (local). Unit #584 is right at the center of action for the Ala Wai (Ala Moana) boat harbor and beach park, and a hundred other magical points of interest, yet is remarkably pleasant, convenient, and luxurious.

Picture yourself watching the outrigger canoe practices, cheering on world-class surfers, or toasting the blazing sunset with your Mai Tai from our completely refurbished and updated luxury condominium. Or maybe marveling at the Friday night fireworks at the Hilton from one of the best vistas in town. Serene, quiet, ocean front and marina front living with a 180 degree ocean and marina view. A true one-bedroom unit, a "sliding wall" closes to ensure complete privacy for the master bedroom and your guests.

Our unit is at the more tranquil Ewa end of Waikiki, yet mere minutes from Ala Moana Mall, Hilton Hawaiian Village, Ft. Derussy, Magic Island, Duke's, and 100 other tropical destinations, especially the sparkling white sands of Waikiki-the "funnest" beach in the world!

Don't feel like cooking? Three "best in Honolulu" restaurants are within a one-minute walk: the Chart House, Tanaka of Tokyo, and Sarento's Top of the "I." The Red Lobster, and the Harbor Pub are also a one-minute walk away. On your way to the beach, stop off at Canoe's world famous restaurant and bar for excellent food, drinks, and "local kine" hula and music. All this within a one-minute walk.

Locals love the look and feel of the Ilikai Marina, and you will too. The warm feeling of aloha will gently soothe your cares as you relax into the local kine lifestyle. Many of our guests don't even bother to rent a car; "The Bus" is consistently rated the best public transportation system in the USA.

Public parking is an option right in front surrounding the Marina, or purchase a parking pass in the building for $140 per month ($115 the second month), and you will be able to walk directly from your car to our unit; no elevator ride or stairs to climb with your packages.

We also feature an inside-the-unit washer and dryer, big screen TV, AND whisper-quiet central air conditioning! All new furniture, appliances, fixtures, and decorating. Yes, we love it! You will too! No bait and switch on these photos. EVERY PHOTO TAKEN BY US OF THIS EXACT CONDO!

Ocean Front Marina Front Waikiki-Ilikai Marina "Pink Plumeria"

Year Purchased: 2006

Why the Owner Chose Ilikai Marina

Both my wife and I love the Hawaiian people, the culture, and the Hawaiian oceansports. We have both been avid outrigger paddlers and racers for many years. I have been surfing since I was 4 years old. We get into the water whenever we can...which is never enough of course! Part of our commitment to Hawaii is to cherish and respect our opportunity to own a condo in the Land of Aloha.

The Unique Benefits at this Condominium

We fell in love with our condo as soon as we saw it. It is in one of the most laid back areas of Waikiki, and is right next to where my wife's father worked at the old Kaiser Hospital for many years. He loved this neighborhood and lived in it for years.

Our condo is very nicely appointed, upscale, refurbished throughout, and is wonderful ohana for those of you looking for a little less intensity with a little more of the local-kine feel of the neighborhood. Our proximity to the HIlton gives us the same beach and play opportunities, at
much less cost.
MAHALO NUI A ME A HUI HOU!

 

Owner's Map of Ilikai Marina

Aloha Ka Kou! E Komo Mai! Aloha to all and welcome! It is our pleasure to offer you one of the finer one bedroom ocean front condos in the Waikiki area. Just a little about us: I am a former University professor, small business owner, and management consultant for many years. Currently I am a business broker specializing in helping people buy or sell their smaller businesses the Santa Cruz, CA, USA area.

My wife, formerly from Sacramento, CA and Santa Cruz, lived on Oahu in Lanikai and Kailua for many years, and was a successful chiropractor in Kailua. She is now a chiropractor practicing in the Santa Cruz, CA area. Although she still considers herself a novice, she loves dancing and performing hula shows with her halau (hula school) Te Hau Nui in Santa Cruz.

    • We had a wonderful stay at the Pink Plumeria. We have been to Waikiki multiple times, but it was so much more relaxing staying here. We were still with in reach of all that Waikiki has to offer but also enjoyed being so close to the Ala Moana area. The property was beautiful and Rex was great to work with. We hope to stay here again soon!

      Homeowner Response:
      Mahalo to you Nicole. I am glad we were able to work out the play-and-pack so that everything worked out for you! We are always pleased when guests have a totally pono time. A hui hou! Rex and Erica

    The Castells ,
    • There’s something about the Pink Plumeria that left me feeling I had returned home, and that I was well taken care of. I suppose because trusting Rex and Erica had not made any financial compromises when they decorated, furnished and stocked the amenities into this condo. It was not long during my month’s visit that I started feeling as if I was one of Hawaii’s Trust Babies, the descendents of the plantation owners and shipping barons, or from the royal line of Kamehameha. Each morning I would look out the bedroom window or lanai beyond the Ala Wai Yacht Harbor, and felt a sense of ownership to the vast Pacific Ocean. I used the binoculars to check out Waikiki Beach to the left, and Ala Moana Beach Park to the right. Which beach shall I go to? Shall I walk or drive? If I drove I walked a mere 40 steps to our car in the spacious and clean garage, without ever using an elevator. And, during my month’s stay I rarely saw other residents, perhaps only 3 times. How good is that? I retired late every night, about midnight, 1 AM or later, just to hear the silence along the shoreline and stare at the shimmering reflection of the Harbor lights on the calm waters as a soft breeze blew over me. I could have used the quiet air conditioner for the living room or bedroom, but I preferred creating a soft island breeze by carefully situating the floor fans and turning on the ceiling fan. You are returning home when you enter the Pink Plumeria so bring only your clothes and shoes; the condo has everything you need and more.

      Homeowner Response:
      Mahalo nui for the kind words, and especially thanks to you, Sandra, for the wonderfully written communications and comments you sent to us! Ho'omaika'i! Rex and Erica

      NOTE: Diane was unable to get the website to accept this comment, so I am posting it here for her. Comment Text: We have had a wonderful vacation in Rex's apartment. Rex certainly has an eye for detail. The condo was so well equiped it was unbelievable. Everything from the coffee grinder to an excercise mat and dumbells to cellotape and envelopes. Truly a home from home at the highest standard. We are now spoilt for accomodation elswhere. Not only that but the personal touch from Rex himself and also the every day contact with Lila who looks after the condo for Rex. She really made our stay wonderful and ensured that we wanted for nothing. As it is now cold in the UK please please take us back to paradise!! Cant wait for our next vacation.

    Tim and Cheryl ,
    • I just thought I would write you a short thank you. My wife Cheryl and I stayed at your Pink Plumeria condo from Oct 13th to 25th this year. We are just getting organized at home after our trip and I wanted to let you know that your condo was awesome! We had such a good time and your place was a superb location to stay. The amenities were outstanding and we were certainly impressed with all that was provided. The finishing of the condo, specifically the kitchen, reminded us of our own home and as a result made us feel very welcome. The thought you have put into this place for guests was most definitely appreciated and Lila was very helpful. We especially found the binder to be of great value and it helped us in planning a number of our days. After spending the day trekking around or being on the beach it was wonderful to come back to such a great place, have a drink, prepare dinner and on Friday's watch the fireworks from the lanai. You did not miss a thing putting this together and we can hardly wait to return. Unfortunately, it will have to be at least a year before we can make it back that way again. Thanks again for all your information and making a 25th Wedding Anniversary very special. Tim and Cheryl

      Homeowner Response:
      Mucho mahalos Tim and Cheryl! We really do try and keep up on the condo and the services, and it gives us super satisfaction when our guests have as much fun on Oahu as we do! A hui hou! Rex and Erica

    • Rex, Thank you for the wonderful condo. My family (2adults and 2 kids) stayed at the Pink Plumeria in July 2008 for 11 days. We absolutely loved it! Your condo was exactly as you stated it was on your website. It was extremely clean and very, very well taken care of. We appreciated all the little extras like boogie boards, goggles, beach mats, maps, guides, bags, beach towels, etc. Everything we needed we found in the condo. The view from the condo was amazing! We especially liked watching the large boats coming into the harbor, the surfers and the sunsets. Having the parking garage attached to the building made it easy for us to get to the condo, especially when you have groceries to carry. The condo had all the amenities you stated, no surprises. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen well stocked with utensils. Lila was helpful in accommodating our late evening arrival. She checked on us from time to time to see if we needed anything. The location of the condo could not be better. About 5 minute walk to Waikiki beach, 5-10 minute drive to Ala Moana Shopping Center, Sam's Club, Walmart. It made it easy for us to explore easily and avoid some of the traffic. We especially appreciated having wi-fi in the condo. We were able to stay in touch with our families and lookup activities/events happening on the island. Your condo was truly a home away from home for my family. You were prompt in all our email exchanges and very helpful with all my questions. This was my first time using vrbo and was very pleased all around. When we get back to Oahu, because it was truly wonderful, we will definitely stay at the Pink Plumeria again. Thank you so much Rex for everything! Anna Tempe, Arizona

      Homeowner Response:
      Mahalo for your comments Anna. Lila said you and your family had a really good time and left the condo in super good condition. Come back soon! With much Aloha, Rex

    • Rex: Returned last week from the Pink Plumeria. Your place was just like home only better b/c we were in beautiful Waikiki. We love to go exploring so we really liked that you had the local maps, bus schedules, etc. on hand. They were a plus to us. The Oahu guidebook was like our Bible for the week. Having Internet access was also great. Your kitchen was beautiful. We didn't get to try out our culinary skills in it; there were just too many good restaurants in the area to try out. The hard part was deciding what to have and where to go each night. This is my first experience using Vrbo. At first, I was a bit apprehensive but you have been wonderful. I sure hope everyone on Vrbo is as nice and attentive to deal with as you have been. If we make it back to Waikiki in the future, I will think of you first. Many Mahalos for such a pleasant stay. Jan/Steve

      Homeowner Response:
      Aloha Jan and Steve, Thanks for the maikai (good) comments, and for leaving the condo in such nice condition. Erica. Lila, and I really appreciate that. We are totally stoked that you had such a fun time, and thanks also for keeping in such awesome contact with us. It's the little things like that, that can make such a difference! A hui hou, Rex

    • Rex, We just returned from a month's stay at your condo. We have been coming to Hawaii every year for the past 15 years and the Pink Plumeria is by far the best place we have stayed in. We've seen lots of condos in Waikiki and your renovations are top notch. You've outfitted the condo with excellent, very comfortable furnishings, beautiful granite countertop, two T.V.'s, and lots of dishes, towels, andd everything you'd ever need for the beach. I particularly appreciated the Internet access. I was able to check the frosty weather temperatures in Canada, while we enjoyed Hawaii's heat and sunshine. Great Place. I'd highly recommend to anyone, and we'll book it for our next trip to Hawaii. Jeff & Peggy

      Homeowner Response:
      Jeff and Peggy, Mucho mahalos to you both. Yes the Weather Channel said it was quite frosty up in Canada and California was kinda chilly as well. We thought of you on the warm and toasty beach every time we got hit by another storm. Mahalo nui for the nice comments. Rex and Erica

    • Rex, Your condo is everything and more that I thought it would be! This is a condo that has had a lot of thought put into it.We were impressed with the number of towels that were in the bathroom, the umbrellas and the little extras in the closet,this is a quality condo and we loved every minute of our stay there. We will spread the word about the Pink Plumeria. Hope you get to spend some time there yourself! Mahalo, Donna and Alan Cheung P.S. watched Blue Hawaii and From here to Eternity I recommend that your future guests watch them too!

      Homeowner Response:
      Such kind words! Mahalo to you and Alan for being great guests. Regarding the movies, yes they are pretty fun especially when you can go right out and compare the locales. We now have the first season of Hawaii Five-0 for the condo as well. Aloha, Rex

It has internet access, movies to watch, beach chairs, towels and don't forget to look in their binder of suggestions. It is walking distance to great shopping and the beach. The beds are comfortable. There is only great things to say about this place...I highly recommend it! :D Thank you for letting us stay there and accommodating our last minute needs.

      Homeowner Response:
      Mahalo to you too, and thanks for mentioning the suggestions in the binder. My wife Erica lived on Oahu for five years, so the suggestions in the binder have been kama aina tested! Aloha! Rex

    • We have just arrived home from 14 days at the "Pink Plumeria". What a fabulous place to spend the Christmas holidays! This was our first time booking through VRBO and it was an absolute pleasure dealing with Rex. He was extremely prompt in answering my emails from the initial contact to the end.... we really appreciated that. Lila - the property manager was very helpful and very professional. The condo has EVERYTHING and it's BEAUTIFUL!! The location is excellent as well... walking distance to the mall, the park and downtown. Rex, thanks for everything and we definately would love to stay there again.

      Homeowner Response:
      Mahalo nui to you Karen for your thoughtful comments. Thanks for being such considerate guests! Also, thanks for updating my knowledge of Canadian Rock and Roll history! A hui hou! Rex and Erica
