Luxury Vacation Rental

Ka’ulu Lot 19 Project | Four Seasons Hualalai | Kona Coast | Big Island /  by Ethan Tweedie

One of the most exclusive resorts in the World and in Hawaii, the Four Seasons Hualalai is surrounded by white-sand beaches and black-lava landscapes on the Kona Coast of the Big Island.  It offers privacy and luxury amenities like ocean activities, golf and tennis for its A-List Clientele. The Four Seasons Hualalai Resort has been voted Best Luxury Resort in Hawaii by Forbes and U.S. News & World Report lists the Four Seasons Hualalai Resort the #1 resort in Hawaii.  The Resort is also home to some of the most exclusive private residences in the World boasting over 100 private home owners such as this property at Ka’ulu Lot 19.

Ka’ulu Lot 19 was developed by March Capital Management, a San Francisco-based development and investment firm, as an investment property that will be used by exclusive clientele as luxury vacation rental.  “MCM” teamed up with GM Construction, a design build firm to put their vision into reality.  GM Construction is “a custom, luxury home builder that, for over twenty years, has constructed residences in the resort communities along the Kona and Kohala Coast” and has built most of the homes at the Hualalai Resort.

The property is situated on the fairway of the 3rd Hole of the Hualalai Golf Course and faces West for gorgeous Hawaiian sunsets.  The home features a spa and infinity pool and three golf-carts to play golf, visit the beach or the many restaurants located within the Four Seasons Resort.

I was hired by “MCM” to photograph this property over a 2 day period to capture each space in its best light.  The home features 7 bedrooms and 9 baths boasting that quintessential indoor outdoor living here in Hawaii.  Below are some of the highlights from our photoshoot in April 2024

63rd Annual Waimea Twilight Christmas Parade!! | Big Island | Hawaii /  by Ethan Tweedie

The 63rd Annual Waimea Twilight Christmas Parade was nothing short of spectacular! Held on a perfect evening in December 2023, this cherished event brought the community together to celebrate the holiday season with an unforgettable display of lights, music, and festive spirit.

One of the highlights of the parade was, without a doubt, the Truckers’ participation. These local heroes truly went all out, transforming their trucks into rolling works of art with extravagant holiday decorations that dazzled the crowd. The creativity and effort that went into each vehicle’s design were truly awe-inspiring, making it clear why they’re the parade’s main attraction.

This year’s parade in Waimea, located on the Big Island of Hawaii, showcased the island’s close-knit community spirit and the unique charm of small-town Christmas celebrations. The streets were filled with the sights and sounds of Christmas as families, friends, and visitors gathered to enjoy the festivities.

I had the pleasure of capturing the beauty of this event through my lens, and I’m excited to share some of the images from the night. From the twinkling lights of the decorated trucks to the joyful expressions of parade-goers, these photos capture the essence of what makes Waimea's Christmas parade so special.

As a photographer specializing in luxury real estate, architectural photography, and luxury hotels and resorts, I don’t often get the chance to photograph local events like this one. However, the opportunity to capture the warmth and energy of a community tradition was a reminder of the magic that makes the Big Island so unique.
