Big Island’s Hospitality Lifestyle and Stewardship July 27
So you want to own a Bed and Breakfast, Guest House or Retreat. I want to help make that happen. My dream has always been “21 Bungalows on the Beach” and I get to run the activity board. Well, watch out for what you wish for. Myself and my partner Greg Nunn had a dream. We have extensive experience in hospitality, destination management and hotel operation and a love for the islands that is hard to match. I have lived in Hawai’i for 20 plus years, Maui for 17years/ Kaua’i for 2 / Big island 1 year. My previous position I worked through out the islands planning special vacations and incentives for corporations and families alike. Last year when we were in escrow in a small hotel in Maui and we saw the numbers would not work based on purchase price and market competition. We then set our sites on the Big Island of Hawai’i. The healing island, where dreams are born and the land is alive. What better why to jump into the fire then to move to a volcanic island. The Big Island has land and resources that are more abundant then the other islands and the prices -well much more realistic.
We just celebrated our one year anniversary, with our best month yet. It is not easy but I feel that I can really help the buyer who seeks the lifestyle and investment that a Bed and Breakfast, Guest House or Retreat can bring. Please call me and visit our web site. I believe in expanding my reality to the point that I pursure what I love doing and excel at it. I particularly like to involve myself in high energy levels of trust, optimism, appreciation reverence, joy and I love what I do in my life. Let me help you “Find Your Hawai’i”. I stand ready to assist and to do so with seamless Aloha, honesty and hard work.
People ask us all the time how we found Ka’awa Loa. I say we did not find her she found us. Ka’awa Loa Plantation is a Guesthouse and start-up coffee farm located in the heart of the Kona Coffee Belt on the island of Hawai’i. The 5-acre estate is nestled in tropical surroundings at the elevation of 1,200 feet directly above Kealakekua Bay. Our venue offers a wonderful spot to base your Big Island adventures.
In Hawaiian, Ka’awa is a sacred root used in ceremonies. Ka’awa Loa translates literally as “The Long Roots”. This is the name held by our neighboring apua’a (land divide), where the people from makai (the sea) and the people from mauka (the mountains) came together in the middle to trade, socialize, rest, and share their Aloha. Ka’awa Loa Plantation proudly continues this tradition today.
Area activities include swimming and snorkeling in the pristine waters of the Pacific, ocean kayaking, hiking, horseback riding, touring coffee farms, and shopping in several eclectic local shops. Historic St. Benedict’s Painted Church and sacred Pu’uhonua O Honaunau, the Place of Refuge, are just a short drive away.
Enjoy our website, and we hope to welcome you “Big Island Style” soon!
