That is very close to the area we were considering 9 years ago...putting on over 10K mi in the first few weeks...
We settled for a walkable town (Keaau) that has a daily farmers market... we moved thinking dream house acres with ocean view & ended up with accessible house on small lot and mountain view (so much for the master plan!)
Why the changes in a little time... well we rented near one area that we were sure was perfect, had great neighbors... Experienced first hand how much yard work & maintenance a place with land near the ocean involve... then one of the great older neighbors that built the dream house got seriously ill & we saw the impact giving up the dream house you have had for over a decade to trade for something more centrally located & accessible place...& decided to invest in the future...
