This past weekend I had the opportunity to visit the island of Oahu.  I have spent time there before, but never really took in what the island has to offer.  It is amazing how different and unique each Hawaiian Island is.

We spent most of the time around the Kahala area.  It was amazing has mountainous and green the terrain looked.  It did look just like what you see in the movies.  Then as we traveled into Waikiki we came over a hill and I thought for a second we were at Miami Beach.  All you saw were tall business buildings, condos, and hotels.  At that point, I was sure glad that the Big Island of Hawaii is not like that.

One thing that I loved about Oahu is that there are places to dine at a reasonable price all over the place.  On the Big Island of Hawaii you find more upscale and pricier restaurants.  We ate at Zippys (a couple of times), which offers local food and is known for its chili.  We made a trip to the north end of the island where we had world famous shaved ice from Matsumotos.  Their shaved ice has been featured in several travel magazines as well as shows.  On the way we got some malasadas (Hawaiian pastries) from Leonards Bakery.  They were the freshest malasadas I have ever had.  We ate our dinners at Chilis.  We do not have Chilis on the Big Island so that was a nice treat.

I looked at some of the Oahu real estate prices and I think if anyone was going to invest in real estate on the Hawaiian Islands, the Big Island is the best place.  The prices seemed a lot higher on Oahu and I felt the quality on the Big Island of Hawaii was better.

I thoroughly enjoyed my trip to Oahu, but I was really glad that I chose the Big Island of Hawaii to live and the Waikoloa Beach Resort to work.  You can not beat the peacefulness of the Big Island of Hawaii.

Kolea 14M is one of the few two bedroom villas at Kolea with a nice ocean view.  This villa has not been a rental previously so it has a very new feel to it. The floor plan of a two bedroom penthouse at Kolea offers great luxury for two couples.  Each room is a private suite.  This villa has been furnished in a manner to cater to couples.  You will find one king size bed and one queen size bed in this villa.

Every aspect of Kolea 14M is beautifully appointed.  You will find tile throughout with nice area rugs in the bedrooms.  Original artwork fills the walls throughout this villa.  The owners of this villa left the kitchen well stocked for the renters.  You will find ample supplies as well as spices and cooking goods.  As you open the large pocket doors you will enjoy what differentiates Kolea 14M from most other two bedroom villas at Kolea, the view.  Just in front of building 14 is a large lawn area which buffers any buildings from the view of Kolea 14M.  Directly in front of the lanai is a spectaular view of A’Bay just over one of the private homes.

I just got back from a weekend trip to visit some friends on Kauai.  It is an amazing island!  We live on the Big Island of Hawaii and it is amazing how much of a change of scenery it is.  We stayed on the north end, which was really lush and tropical.  We found one of the best deals for car rentals in Hawaii, which was great.  Everyone can appreciate saving a dollar or two these days.

You know the winter has arrived at Hali’i Kai when the surf is up and there are whale sightings.  Having managed condos in almost every complex on the Kohala Coast on the Big Island of Hawaii I get to enjoy some of the great things each property has to offer while working.  There is nothing I enjoy more than to walk in to one of our villas at Halii Kai in the winter months and seeing the whales frollick in the ocean and well as watching the waves crash in to lava rocks.  Halii Kai 14G is an oceanfront villa and offers an unobstructed panoramic view of the ocean.  You can actually hear the whales from this villa and feel the mist of the crashing waves.  Any of the villas in building 12 give you the opportunity to not only enjoy the crashing waves, but to also watch the waves roll in as you are watching golf and the whales.
