Re: Hawaii Five-O: Any Fans?

Five-0 is available now free on Amazon's Freevee app. Since I'm a child of the 60's (born in 1960) I've started watching it again. Its so cool to experience the 60's era in this classic show. Some of it seems cheesy now days, but its greatly enjoyable. I like picking out the landmarks from later see...

Re: Magnum Reboot CANCELED

There is actually a decent beach at Pahonu pond/Robin Master's estate now. So I'd have a hard time convincing the Obama's I need to come inside the property to recover from a floundering swim :D I'd really like to know what they did to Magnums' guest house though. I wonder if its really a quest hous...

Re: Magnum Reboot CANCELED

I just started watching the Reboot series. I avoided it early on for many reasons, Mainly cause I'm old and don't like change in my favorite storylines (Don't' even ask me about all the latest Starwars movies). I finally started watching the reboot with no preconceptions on how it "should be" and ju...

Re: The Robin Masters Estate (Pahonu)

When I visited in August of 2021, I swam in the Pahonu Pond and examined the construction. I was happy to see them renovating the Boat House. There is a small, but nice sized beach there now. Its a great swimming area, not crowded at all. The extended Sea Wall is pretty imposing, and would effective...

Re: The Robin Masters Estate (Pahonu)

I agree. Two pools, three new houses. Plus the Guest/Boat House and the Gate House. They definitely filled up the space.
Street view on Google Earth has not been updated yet though.

Re: The Robin Masters Estate (Pahonu)

Hi All,
I found another Drone video of the Pahonu estate with the construction almost completed. It shows a good overview of the entire estate grounds.
I'm happy they preserved Magnum's :Guest House" at least.

Re: The Robin Masters Estate (Pahonu)

Obama and Nesbit split the estate into 2 separate lots. Two new residences were built. The gate house and boat house were preserved.

That would be spectacular! I guess we’ll never know though.

Re: The Robin Masters Estate (Pahonu)

Just found a recent video of the nearly completed Obama estate at Pahonu. For me, the best thing about the video are some views of the restored Magnum Guest house/boat house. I'm happy to see it was preserved relatively unchanged from the outside.

Re: The Robin Masters Estate (Pahonu)

Glad to see they got a roof back on the boathouse. I wonder what they are going to turn it into?
This place has been under construction for a long time. Thanks for the photos

Re: The Robin Masters Estate (Pahonu)

Here's a link to some photos I took of the estate while I was there in August of this year. The boat house was definitely being worked on, though the new seawall now blocks its access to the water. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fuw7S2Rlx-vRBvCb2qNJ6KN-toOHP7B_/view?usp=sharing https://drive.googl...

Re: Trip to Hawaii

Thanks for the compliments. I remember how surprisingly sad I was when I read about the estate house being demolished. I'm still sad about it. The tidal pool is still great to visit, but it can never be the same without Robins Nest visible. I will add that the Beaches on this side of the island are ...

Re: Trip to Hawaii

Probably are AC units. So far the homes are not very attractive. It'll be interesting to see what the finished product looks like. Though I doubt much will be visible from either the road of the beach. Since they appear to be preserving the Boat house and guard house, It make me wonder whether Mr Ob...

Re: Trip to Hawaii

Those structures are Mr Obama's and his buddies two new homes. Yes they look like warehouses right now
