Kohala by the Sea – This is Why!

Kohala by the Sea residents are active in the community, and for 12 years, Kohala by the Sea has earned national recognition as part of the Firewise Communities program for their efforts to reduce their risk to wildfire. Kohala by the Sea is one of only 33 communities in the entire nation that has maintained this status for more than a decade, and their efforts have garnered accolades and awards from the governor, mayor, county council, and national organizations.

Just across the street from the Blue Pacific

Located on the North Kohala Coastline with its white sand beaches, shops, harbor, restaurants, and the world famous Mauna Kea, Mauna Lani and Hapuna Beach Hotel Resorts, Kohala by the Sea hugs the coastline on the mauka (mountain) side of Akoni Pule Highway. With just 73 house lots in this gated community, neighbors know each other and there is a real sense of pride. This distinguished neighborhood was thoughtfully designed so every home has incredible ocean views.

Newly Listed

Such is the case with this newly listed home at 59-189 Laninui Drive. Sitting on 1.19 acres, the ocean views are spectacular from this custom built, thoughtfully designed home. To sit on the lanai in the afternoon and watch the whales swim and play in the ocean during the winter is wonderful, and the daily sunsets are stunning!

Ahhh the views! 59-189 Laninui Drive (MLS# 616881)
