Doreen’s Big Island
HAWAII ISLAND (AKA THE BIG ISLAND) The Island of Hawai'i, affectionately known as “ The Big Island”, is so called because of its size as all of the other Hawaiian Islands would fit into the land mass of The Big Island. A diverse island possessing 9 of the world's 13 climate zones allows, at certain times of the year, for one to bask in the crystal blue ocean and visit the observatory on snow-capped Mauna Kea all in the same day. Many know this island for the confluence of wealth and the lush tropical beauty of the Kohala Coast. A pristine stretch of oceanfront properties along the west coast of the island, The Kohala Coast is home to private Clubs (Kukio, Kohanaiki, Nanea) and world-renowned resorts (Hualalai, Mauna Kea, and Mauna Lani). The popularity of the Kohala Coast has been on the rise, however, the pandemic and remote work brought an influx of new residents (full and part-time) as buyers covet the beauty, tranquility, and lifestyle from Hawi to Waimea to Kona and beyond. The natural beauty, active lifestyle, genuine Aloha Spirit, and rich Hawaiian culture are why many choose it.
