When people think of their dream tropical vacation, Hawaii is typically at the top of the wish list. But what’s paradise if you’re surrounded by Instagram-snapping, loud-talking, space-invading tourists?
Yes, you should absolutely go to downtown Kailua-Kona and have a Mai Tai overlooking the ocean, but once you’re tired of all the people, head to one of these lesser known attractions to beat the crowds and spend some quality time with the Big Island.
Hawaii is a unique place; that’s why everyone dreams of living here! But when you’re looking for real estate on the Big Island, some of the terms can be a bit confusing. As you browse through the lists of available homes, you’re bound to come across the term “Lanai.” A lanai is one of the most popular architectural features in homes throughout the islands.
On the mainland, here are your choices for sand: white or white. In most places around the world, sand only comes in one variety. Of course, Hawaii isn’t most places.

If you already live in paradise, where—or why—would you go on vacation? Well, as spectacular as living in Hawaii is, it’s always nice to have a change of scenery.

Vacationing in Hawaii is like eating one potato chip: It tastes great, but there’s so much left in the bag! You can’t experience everything that Hawaii has to offer with just one visit. Living on the Big Island is filled with adventure, leisure, and relaxation. It’s truly the perfect tropical paradise to call home. Here are some of the perks of being a permanent Big Island resident.
With most places still under strict travel restrictions—including the Big Island—many people are wondering if this is still a good time to buy property. On one hand, interest rates are at an all-time low. On the other, nobody seems to be buying houses right now. So, even if you lock in an incredible interest rate, is it a safe investment, and can you even still buy property during the COVID-19 pandemic?
Seeing the mountains and beautiful shorelines of Hawaii is always a moving sight. You can feel the warm sun on your skin, the breeze on your face and the smell of the saltwater. With so many people stuck inside these days — thanks, COVID-19 — it can be hard to find a way to bring some of that Island enjoyment indoors. So, while many of us are self-quarantining and social distancing in our homes, bring some Hawaii inside with these tropical island drinks.

On the lush eastern coast of the Big Island lies a unique, Polynesian-inspired estate that was just put on the market.

Every structure was meticulously crafted using only the highest-quality materials to ensure the ultimate in luxury and authenticity. It’s currently a highly rated bed and breakfast but is now ready to become your very own private compound.
Yes, the views from your lanai are lovely, but Hawaii isn’t just about the beautiful scenery and relaxation! The Big Island is brimming with fun things to do and events to take part in.
