(Honolulu, Hawaii) How could you miss the latest news that the world’s billionaires are doing just fine amidst tough economic times? Especially, Yuri Milner, who recently forked out a whopping $100 million for a California mansion—the most expensive single family home ever sold in the U.S. Perhaps, he will be spending his Christmas in his new 25,500 square foot “French chataue on [...]
I am pleased to say, even with a general lack of confidence in the economy, ground has again been broken and construction has commenced on a new residence at Kohala Waterfront. In fact, several more homes are on the drawing board.
Hidden away on the ocean side of Kona’s Alii Drive is Alii Point, a small gated oceanfront community of 19 Hawaiian and Asian inspired luxury villas nestled in a botanic garden with a common pool and tennis court. My current favorite for best buys in Kona is found right in the center of this lush [...]
As anyone who has been to Hawaii knows, we’ve had a continuous lava flow since January 3, 1983. That’s 28 years of awesome fiery beauty. Anyone knowing anything about our culture also knows that Madame Pele is the reason. The beautiful goddess brings new life to our islands daily. She never tires. If you close [...]
“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 [...]

It was an absolutely gorgeous day today in Puako Beach… You can enjoy this short walk to the water too because my house is for sale in Puako Beach …so, I made the “long trek” across the street to commune with the Honu, as is my typical Sunday practice.
A friend had invited me to hear Mango Tango, and see the Tango Extravaganza Show at the Four Seasons Hualalai Resort in early April. The event has now changed venues to the Hapuna Prince Hotel because the Four Seasons Hualalai Resort on the Big Island’s Kohala Coast is closed until April 30, 2011. The “adult [...]
I start walking in Keauhou between 7 and 8 a.m. daily. The direction I head most often is south—toward the end of Alii Drive. It seems to be a bit quieter. Heading south brings you to the intersection of Alii Drive and King Kamehameha III Road. At this point, I either continue south on Alii Drive, [...]
The day of the tsunami last week, I received a phone call from potential buyers in British Colombia. I’ve been getting more inquiries from Canadians—especially from British Colombia—over the past 6 months. Looks like having Hawaii in the news reminds Canadians of an important aspect of the housing market. My Canadian buyers were impressed with [...]
