I can’t imagine a more perfect poster child for an annoying exploitative Caucasian woman I would pay anything to not live around than her. 😂😂
Just wondering: within the past 15 months, I’ve spent about 3.5 months on mostly Maui. I quickly became aware of the ‘general’ feelings of the average Hawai’ian as regards their history, and in particular the events in January, 1893. Most native Hawai’ians I met do not consider themselves American and do not consider the islands of Hawai’i as part of the USA. Did that sort of thing ever cause you a problem? Did you ever feel any sort of ‘tension?’
I've never had a problem or felt any tension personally. Only good experiences!
Hi Kristi, I've seen earlier videos of you selling homes in Puu Lani Ranch, and now I run across this one. Can you tell me why people are basically running away from Puu Lani Ranch, Is it the community because a lot of owners have been selling after just a short period of time owning it and having a hard time selling, even the lots. I hope you can answer my question please, thanks
I wouldn’t say people are running away from Puu Lani Ranch. It’s a highly desirable area for the right person! I’m not sure of all the details of why people are selling, but one reason could be that during Covid all lot of people moved to HI and bought homes sight unseen. I’ve heard stories of people doing that and then selling a few years later because they changed their mind about island living. Probably many reasons but nothing about the community of Puu Lani Ranch that’s causing people to leave. Hope this helps!
Awesome info Kristi!!! Thank you, I look forward to coming and making a decision on where to retire!!!
Thank you!!! Please reach out when you come to the island. Happy to help! Kristi.cotton@compass.com

I don’t like going to a beach to have the hotel property tell me that the parking lot is full and we can go in like at maunakea resort or four seasons
Its rains over 200 days a year in Hilo
Yes, Hilo side gets a lot of rain!
Great video and I basically have a small crush on you now . 😂😂 I live in pahoa now and have been thinking about moving to Kona side. Where’s the best site / app to find housing? Mahalo ❤
Thanks for watching and I'm happy you like my video. Here's a link to my app to search for homes. compass-invites.app.link/X90XGrmNaJb
Such a great video Kristi. Very informative, thank you! Seriously thinking about a small farm on the big island, my greencard is a few months away.
Glad it was helpful!
Florida! Move to Florida, not Hawai'i.
They are not equals lmao. Hawaii doesn’t have snakes or bears or mountain lions. Don’t get me wrong, I love Destin and sanibel but they are not equal.
@@dudedabsworth8023 exactly, we don't want them in Hawai'i.
amazon prime about 2 weeks, regular amazon 3 weeks for delivery time. Hard to get batteries, and heavy stuff like car parts can be 100$ for a 20lb part.
Thanks for sharing, however it can be hit or miss depending on where you are on island. I find that in Waimea Amazon prime is fairly quick, I've received things in a few days at times, others about a week. Yes, shipping batteries can be problematic anywhere in Hawaii.
Wonderful overview! Thank you for your knowledgeable videos and kind nature, Krisit! ✨
You are so welcome! Happy to help anytime!!
I know this was a year ago but how are the taxes? Is being older on a fixed income mean no way to live there? Any small condo options, with low taxes, low HOA and inexpensive to purchase without críme issues?
Not knowing your price point it's hard to answer your question, but you're welcome to contact me and we can discuss further your specific situation. Kristi.cotton@compass.com
Thank you for sharing? Do you have many mosquitoes and rats?
There are mosquitos and rats on all islands, but depending on where you live you may not have any issues. Mosquitos are more prevalent in areas with lush, dense foliage and standing water. I've lived in Hawaii for almost 30 years and rarely have seen any rats.
Planning on moving but ill have to leave my pet python
very cool! Must've been an epic swim!
It always is!
If you're not an extremely left wing wacko don't go there
If you need a shop Costco you can't afford to live
Basically it's for really rich people
We do tree work for kohala ranch residents..very beautiful landscapes n homes..love dat area...jump in da pool to cool off😊
Clearing kiawe trees from dat last fire they had..very dry
Sounds great!
@@kristicotton good luck with that listing and I hope u get to sell it.. wish I had the money 😂
So helpful! Thank you 💚
Glad it was helpful!
Oh my someone will find a true PARADISE.
Yes, you are right about that!👍
If you don’t like Centipedes ,, Cockroaches and mosquitoes like me you live up at the higher elevations like Waimea ,, Volcano 🌋 or the highest of all the 6,500 ft elevation of ocean view subdivision with its 11,000 thousand lots and 200 miles of paved roads . 🌴 . Nice video 🤙 .
Thank you, and yes higher elevations do help minimize those things.
Costco is 100 miles each way from most of the east side. You are not saving on gas if you have to drive there and back.
Correct, but if you live in Kona then you're saving a lot.
@@kristicotton Oh, so Kona deserves the break but not the East Side. Nice. Privilege has it's perks.
I never said that. It would be nice and very convenient if there was a Costco on the east side. Maybe you should take that up with the local officials not me. I don't exactly have the power to put a Costco in Hilo.
@@kristicotton If you want to see property values raise on this side of the island, giving you a bigger income and a wider area to represent. it is the real estate community who has to insist on change. We ask and you are the ones to who receive, not us. Yes, I am mad about it, but I have seen it time and again. If the lobby groups ignore our needs, we get nothing, not even the short end. We need the lobbyists to insist we get better services on the east side.
They were gonna build a Costco in shipman park in keaau but Kamehameha schools wanted a road that connects to shipman to their campus in keaau .🤔..
Excellent. Thank you
Thank you for watching!
Hello. Nice video. When you say hot and humid have you ever been to the South in the Continental USA? If so then is it like that hot and humid? I know Florida Keys is hot and humid, but they get a breeze a lot which makes it not as bad. Is it humid all year around?
I don't think it's as bad like Florida. I've only visited there, never lived there. Hawaii gets trade winds that helps make it more comfortable.
Kristiii.. Of Hawaii Life fame, right? 🙂
Yes, you're good!! Are those episodes still airing? It's been a long time!😀
You mentioned having solar and one more thing to cut your electric cost. What was the second thing after electric? Couldn’t make it out lol apologies.
Photovoltaic system?
the biggest issue is with the islands is cars. There should be a limit on the number of cars on an island as well as strongly incentivising electric passenger cars over combustion engine cars. In addition, lack of dedicated bicycle paths is a huge problem. Bicycles and electric cargo bicycles could accomplish huge percentage of trips on the island, reduce noise from cars, exhaust emissions and overall wellness of residents. Added bonus, you would get additional tourist demographic - bicycle tourers.
Great idea!!
Volcanic emissions (vlog) are the Big Islands #1 environmental problem. But you think cars are. I see.
Im shocked how smooth your hair is. Mine goes full mermaid curls from the humidity
Thank you!!!
I would love to see a video about the pros and cons of living in a Plantation style house vs the more modern styles or local kit houses
Great idea, thank you! I'll add that to my list of videos to make. In the meantime, feel free to email me with your contact info and I'll reach out and tell you all about it.
Actually, there are snakes on Moku O Keawe (The big island). I used to think there were no snakes untill i found some. They are small worm like Brahminy Blind Snakes 🐍 I believe they came from Indonesia in the 50s in potted plants. Look it up.
They are very small and look similar to worms, probably smaller than a worm😆
Love this video & looking forward to visiting Hawaii soon. Apparently there are two breed of snakes in the the state; the Brahminy Blind Snake, and the yellow-bellied sea snake.
Happy to say I've never seen one!
I already lived in Hawaii 🎉
Fantastic...Aloha! Thanks for watching😀
She really sounds like a Debbie Downer
what about sharks?
Well it is the ocean so....there are sharks. That said, I've only seen white tip sharks while swimming there and they are not a concern. I do swim with a SharkBanz for added protection. Thanks for watching!
Hawaii is part of the Blue Zone's Projects, whch is a community-based well-being improvement initiative that uses scientifically proven lessons of longevity, health, and happiness to create vibrant communities and boost the well-being of their residents. It IS NOT an actual Blue Zone. And unfortunately, the existing blue zones have started to shrink in the last few years.
Thanks for clarifying!
@@kristicottonif you want to know more about Blue Zones, let me know, I have known Dan for close to 20 years now.
Beautiful home!
I think so too!
Very informative. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
When the service industry dies, so will gluttonous.
Doesn't Hilo get some great tsunami frequency?
Yes, there have been tsunami's in Hilo as well as in Kona. But any coastal area on the islands are at risk of tsunami's.
Ya. So want to see Hilo. My place in CA is only worth $260-300k. I'd live on the beach to live in Hawai'i.
Force of the sea from Japan? Ya? Where are you at?
Nicely done, thank you KC!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
There are no negatives to living in Hawaii. Spent three years in the Navy there. I miss it everyday.
Agreed!
I disagree. Have lived here for 3 years.
I also disagree. In fact, it is one of the most worst places in the world to live in. Crappy school education system. Lack of jobs or opportunities, too many nepotism, racist locals, lots of criminals, homelessness, druggies, street bums, tons of shady people, crappy weather because it's only summer. I like cold weather better. costly shipping, nothing to do except going to the beaches, way too much diversity, feels like a small colony with many different tribes, boring ass music scene with only reggae music being played, very anti-US culturally and politically. Cost of food and housing is too goddamn expensive, get island fever, and plenty more! Hawaii is overhyped and overrated.
Certainly better than Guam
@@James-sn5mg>anti-us That’s a pro
Aloha Kristi
Aloha!
I've visited Big Island for a week 5 yrs ago. Your video reminds me of good memories. I am dying to revisit the island. Thanks for your helpful informations.
My pleasure, glad you enjoyed it!!
DONT LISTEN TO HER: I HAVE LIVED ON THE BIG ISLAND FOR 16 YEARS. I LIVED IN HONOKAA FOR 8 YEARS. FROM THE FIRST DAY I WAS THERE, I STRAPPED ON MY GUN. 250 TOTAL POLICE COMPLAINTS OF MY LIFE BEING THREATENED. THEY HATE WHITE PEOPLE. JERKWATER USA ATTITUDES. RED NECKS. HATEFUL. I VOLUNTEERED FOR THE FIVE MAJOR CHURCHES, STILL WAS HATED. OH, I FELL IN LOVE WITH IT THE FIRST SECOND I SAW IT. DONT FALL FOR IT. GO 15 MILES UP THE ROAD TO WAIMEA, BEST PLACE TO LIVE IN THE WHOLE WORLD.
Gas is comparable to so cal, I paid 4.79 this morning in so cal, Costco shows 4.59 in Hawaii
Thank you for watching!
I love Honokaa - the best malasadas on the island ❤
You got that right!!!
I absolutely love the farmers market in Waimea! We always make sure to have a couple of Saturdays when visiting the island
Us too!
Thank you for sharing. Your video was helpful.
