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.

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.
