Hello everyone
I’ve been reading posts for months now as I’ve been planning to relocate to Oahu for a new job. I’m originally from the Midwest, but I have spent time living on the east coast (Jersey) and southwest (New Mexico). Now looking for places on Oahu but have a question for the board.
What do I need to know before I rent a place right on the water?
I’ve found a listing for a place meeting my needs, outside of the city on the windward side north of Kaneohe right on the water, and it’s within my price range. But I’m afraid I’m just romanticizing too much about the idea of moving to Hawaii and living on a beach somewhere. How much concern should I have about flooding? Am I going to be able to get the services I need there (utilities, internet, etc). Anything someone like me (growing up in corn fields) should know about living near the ocean?
Would love everyone’s thoughts.
Thanks
