I’ve just published week 11—Beer Batter Coconut Shrimp. All of the previous recipes are linked together with the latest recipes, so you [...]

Life on Maui’s north shore is always an adventure; it may be as simple as a trip to the local health food store at Mana’s and running into friends. I love Paia town—it’s an old plantation town that has been transformed into a very international destination. It is made up of locals, surfers, windsurfers, kiters, [...]

A map of the Ala Moana—Kaka'ako area According [...]
Waikoloa Village home sales for last month were very slow with a total number of just 4 home sales for the village and a total of 6 homes if you include Paniolo Estates. This low number is in contrast to a strong July number of 10 home sales in Waikoloa Village. The total number of sales [...]
A few years ago, if you were in the market to buy a home on Kauai’s north shore with some land around it (acreage), you’d have to be prepared to spend close to $2 million. If it had a pool, and a separate office building, and mature fruit orchards, you could expect it to be [...]
Kula offers a stunning array of colors. I love when the Jacaranda flower in Kula. Kula is also known for its fertile soil and perfect elevation for farming, or just growing some of the sweetest strawberries, and other veggies for the backyard gardener. Maui sunflowers and flowering trees Flowers grow really well in Kula—a large [...]

We are almost halfway through the month of September, when Fall is supposedly considered our “slow season,” and I am receiving more emails from buyers arriving at the end of the month or mid-October. It sounds like some of these buyers are repeat visitors with similar thoughts—time to buy with prices and interest rates being [...]
