    We will be moving to Okinawa this summer. This house is gorgeous. If we are able to live off base I would love to have a house similar to this

  • @zakwanarif
    @zakwanarif Před 2 lety

    Omg my favourite combo! Spacious American style house with Japanese house tech like adjustable light brightness and multifunction toilet

  • @Maviation1
    @Maviation1 Před 5 lety +1

    I moved to Okinawa Japan, because my father was in the military. If you want to get orders overseas and continue living overseas, Okinawa is a great place to start!

    • @ProjectWink
      @ProjectWink  Před 5 lety

      Yes, we loved it there. Unfortunately it's not as easy as just getting orders and going. A lot of people never get the opportunity to move there.

    I’m playing catch-up on your videos. You’re great. Enjoyed every minute but only because of your voice and you enthusiasm. Loved those ginormous showers. 🍀👍

    • @ProjectWink
      @ProjectWink  Před 6 lety +1

      Well I appreciate it!
      That means a lot! It makes me happy when new people come join us and actually like our content, not just subscribing because someone else mentioned us lol. So seriously, thank you!

    @arcticblue2 Před 5 lety

    I lived off base for many years in Okinawa (10 years maybe?). That house is *very* fancy for Okinawa. That fridge is an American style one and literally will not fit in most places that have not been "certified" for American living (Japanese fridges are sized to fit a couple days worth of food...because of that, a lot of Japanese groceries - especially bread - do not have the preservative that American groceries have). Having a real oven is pretty rare too.

      We were stationed there for 3 years. Unfortunately probably won’t be back for a while.

      Project Wink I was curious about the school's. From what I've tried looking up most are in kadena, Are those the only ones?

  • @nyapple1978
    @nyapple1978 Před 6 lety +2

    We are looking to get orders to Okinawa and would like to know the area this house is in. Any info would be greatly appreciated!

    • @ProjectWink
      @ProjectWink  Před 6 lety +2

      nyapple1978 Unfortunately moving off base is only permitted if the housing occupancy rate is above 98%.
      It still possible to live off base, just a lot harder to get approval there.
      This house was in Kin, right before Camp Hansen on 329. It was about 20-25 minutes from Kadena, which is perfect IMO.
      There are a lot of great houses off base. They just built some and are still building new 2 and 3 bedroom townhouses with 2 car garage outside Camp Shields (housing walk through in video NIGHT OUT WITH FRIENDS | OKINAWA HOUSING TOUR)
      Hope that helps. Anything else, feel free to ask!

  • @yeyegribbon8764
    @yeyegribbon8764 Před 3 lety +1

    How much is the rent for this? Also, are there any 4 bedroom house off base? Thanks!

  • @rwswac1
    @rwswac1 Před 6 lety

    We just moved to Oki. Do you know what Housing agency they used to find an American style house?

    • @ProjectWink
      @ProjectWink  Před 6 lety

      I'm not sure. They moved back stateside, I'm sorry.
      This is a DoDDs house, rent was really expensive to be honest. There are a lot of housing agencies around base that can show many American style homes if you're lucky enough to get to move off base!

  • @MzLanae86
    @MzLanae86 Před 6 lety

    Im looking at civilian jobs there. Just wondering if the houses would fit my big furniture. Ive heard the houses and apartments are usually pretty small.

    • @ProjectWink
      @ProjectWink  Před 6 lety

      There are some American style homes there. They’re not all tiny houses, but they’re not all this big either.

    • @ebo7310
      @ebo7310 Před 3 lety

  • @Nirvana_904
    @Nirvana_904 Před 6 lety

    We just received orders to Okinawa and are looking to live off base. Your video was very insightful and this house is fabulous! What is the normal for off base housing? I'm trying to manage my expectations (lol). Thanks!

    • @ProjectWink
      @ProjectWink  Před 6 lety

      Oh how exciting! When is your RNLT date?
      This house was like a unicorn there honestly! Lol it was amazing! Very Americanized, and very rare lol.
      The housing in this video ( czcams.com/video/_yFigccvxfw/video.html ) though is pretty common off base. But housing there is tricky because the occupancy rate has to be high enough to move off base. Unfortunately we weren't allowed to move off base!

    • @Nirvana_904
      @Nirvana_904 Před 6 lety

      Ok, great to know. Thanks for sharing the additional video...we're set to arrive this summer.

    • @ProjectWink
      @ProjectWink  Před 6 lety

      You’re welcome! You’re just diving straight into the hottest time! I’ll pray for you! Lol

  • @lynnsaville4818

    Hi we’re possibly moving to Okinawa. My husband may take a contracting job. Could you tell me what was the rent for a home like this ?

    • @ProjectWink
      @ProjectWink  Před 5 lety

      I’m honestly not sure what rent was, it wasn’t my house. But I know it was a lot. Wife was a DoDDs school psycho and husband retired military, now contractor. Between 4-5k I think honestly 😬

    • @lynnsaville4818

  • @jadamorris6176
    @jadamorris6176 Před 3 lety

    I’m an army wife and my husband is in AIT right now. I’m supposed to be looking for a house off base within 4 weeks. How do I find a good home if I’ve never been to that area?

    • @ProjectWink
      @ProjectWink  Před 3 lety +1

      You're going to okinawa? So, when we were there the housing occupancy rate had to be above 98% for you to have the option to live off base.
      If thats changed, there are housing agencies off base that help you find and rent houses. And people will try to find that stuff before getting to a place, but no one will work with you until you're actually there.

    • @jadamorris6176
      @jadamorris6176 Před 3 lety

    • @ProjectWink
      @ProjectWink  Před 6 lety

      Unfortunately this isn’t a house most can afford but it is an option!
      The couple were retired/contractor and DoDDs school psychologist.

  • @cehrehjoon333

    What is the rent of this house of a month

    • @ProjectWink
      @ProjectWink  Před 6 lety

      I think she said it was $4,000 a month. But I’m not certain.

  • @okimike100

    Sure would like to know the cost

    • @ProjectWink
      @ProjectWink  Před 4 lety

      I don’t know specifics. It wasn’t my house. A couple thousand a month at least.

  • @elenthora442
    @elenthora442 Před 5 lety

    Sheesh! I lived in a TINY house in the village and there were tombs everywhere

    • @ProjectWink
      @ProjectWink  Před 5 lety

      Yeah, this house was kind of a unicorn there lol

    • @elenthora442
      @elenthora442 Před 5 lety

      I have seen quite a few videos about housing and I have to say the level of civilization has skyrocketed. There seems like so very much to do and see and The Rock has become some kind of destination. I loved MY time there, but I feel like I am missing out on something!!! Why is it so difficult now to live off base? It used to be encouraged and being assigned to on base housing was a real challenge. Thanks for your video, it's great!

    • @ProjectWink
      @ProjectWink  Před 5 lety

      Thank you, I really appreciate it!
      Now the on base housing occupancy rate has to be 98% full of more to move off base, all others don't have a choice and must move on base.
      I think the areas around Kadena and Foster have definitely grown in the last 5 or so years. They build things so fast there too, that helps!
      Again, I really appreciate it!

      I couldn't say honestly. Like I said, it's not my house. And it was about 3 years ago.

    • @loyalheinz3027
      @loyalheinz3027 Před 4 lety

      Ahh ok. We lived there 12 years and are going back. We had a very nice place but it wasn’t as big as that one. We want something like that next time.

    • @ProjectWink
      @ProjectWink  Před 4 lety

      I think it’s the same for everyone. The housing occupancy rate has to be above a certain percent to live off base - but I could be wrong. I only know the enlisted side of things.
