Resort living on Oahu

By Lisa Scontras

There comes a point in life when the idea of a vacation or retirement home sounds really appealing — umbrella drinks, floppy hats, golf, spa treatments. But what if you could combine your vacation and retirement home into one — and live full-time at a resort?

You might be thinking that living at a resort all year long would be very expensive, and it can be, if you really want to live large. But, on Oahu, two resorts — Ko Olina and Turtle Bay — offer fee simple properties with relatively affordable price tags. You can call either of these resorts home, and lounge on the beach under one of those touristy cabanas 365 days a year, for less than you think. Currently, 11 condos and townhomes — seven at Ko Olina and four at Turtle Bay — are listed for less than $700,000. Stop dreaming and take a peek at your new life.
