You are in a hurry to get to that Realtor caravan, or to make it on time to meet with clients when you jump out of your car and shut the door. Immediately you realized you’ve locked your keys inside your car. Does that sound familiar to you? A similar situation happened to me last [...]
Gorgeous Green Sand Beach on the untouched Ka’u Coast of the Big Island of Hawaii Just a hop, skip, and a jump away from where I live, Hawaiian Ocean View Estates, is a breathtaking cove of glimmering green sand! Papakolea Beach (also known as Green Sand Beach or Mahana Beach) is located near South Point in Ka’u. It is one [...]
Late last week, I showed some of Waikoloa Village’s entry level condos. I didn’t look at all 5 condos priced from $105,000 as my buyers had some limitations on stairs. Also, there is an Elima Lani unit listed for $89,000 that just had a price reduction from $109,000. This unit is unavailable for showing, but is [...]
“Come for the race, stay for the paradise,” says the Office Kauai Marathon homepage. As I write this blog, we are 160 days, 12 hours, and 29 minutes away from Kauai’s third annual Marathon and Half Marathon to be held in Poipu, Kauai on September 4, 2011. On January 3, 2011, I blogged about the Kauai [...]
When my parents bought their first Hawaii, Kahala home at 1002 Hunakai St. in 1967—right around the corner from our new Hawaii Life office—they paid $37,000. The home sat on Bishop Estate leasehold land as all Kahala homes did at that time. I remember my mother telling me that all the rich people lived down [...]

Anchored by the world famous Pu’u Olai, or Red Hill, the Makena State Park is home to 3 world famous beaches…well, maybe two world famous and one not so famous. Pu’u Olai is a 360 foot high cinder cone overlooking the Makena Beaches and surrounding areas.
Gov. Neil Abercrombie signed a bill legalizing civil unions last month. This means Hawaii is now the seventh state to grant such privileges to same-sex couples.

My son is doing some homework on Hawaiian history and we love the internet. I thought I could share with all the readers of Hawaii Life’s blogs maybe something they didn’t know. Hawaii History Firsts – Hawaii State Facts 1778—The Hawaiian Islands were originally settled by Polynesian immigrants more than 1,000 years ago, but remained [...]
As the inventory of property for sale shrinks in desirable Kohala Coast communities, such as those at the Mauna Kea Resort, it becomes more of a challenge to find “best buy” picks–and sometimes they disappear before my eyes. Honestly, at the moment, I see more opportunity for the value-conscious real estate buyer across price points in [...]

Right next door to the Ilikai is The Waikiki Edition, one of the hottest new spots in Honolulu. It’s not too often I get out in the evenings these days, however, after our Kahala office opening party last month, I headed over to The Waikiki Edition to join some of the Hawaii Life crew that [...]
The vast majority of the entry level homes in Kihei, which is part of the highly sought after South Maui region, are short sales or bank owned homes that are in need of considerable repair. 171 Luakaha Circle, a fantastic entry level buy exclusively listed by the Stice Team, is in turn-key condition and is priced to [...]
“Jaws,” also known as Peahi, is one of the most incredible surfing locations in the entire world. I have personally seen surfers be towed by high powered jet skis into waves as high as 80 ft. at this location, no joke. Individuals, such as Laird Hamilton and Dave Kalama, are considered by many to be [...]
