The Hawaiians have a word for it: Palekaiko, meaning paradise. It is that special place or state of mind that just feels right. Whether that is the perfect place, the best lifestyle or the right person, you automatically recognize it. And if you are fortunate enough to find all three, you’ve truly experienced paradise. Kurt and Kirsten Carlson know all about capturing that magical combination. The first time they saw Hawaii was much like the first time they saw one another—they immediately knew they were right where they needed to be. The warm climate and even warmer people combined with the tropical beauty of soft island sand and sapphire water made Hawaii hard to resist. They realized they’d found home, made their move and never looked back.

A Deeper Connection

Attending school in Illinois, Kurt and Kirsten were high school sweethearts, connecting almost immediately on a deeper level. Both shared the same traits of going with the flow, hard work and open communication. Even their interests and personalities were similar—both holding jobs in the technology industry and both interested in computers. Kurt worked as a national consulting manager for a business intelligence company and Kirsten as a software specialist. Through these common bonds, their relationship grew stronger over the years.

They first fell in love with Hawaii while on vacation, and when the opportunity arose to move there, they embraced the chance to relocate to the compelling shores of the Kona Coast. While the tropical climate may have been different from where they were raised, the area held much of the same intimate, small-town feel they always appreciated. It was love at first sight. They immediately immersed themselves in that wonderful Aloha lifestyle—a lifestyle that embraced a friendly, relaxed atmosphere among the panoramic beauty of serene beaches and swaying palms. Raising their sons Eryk and Hans on the island proved a pleasure as the family enjoyed activities such as snorkeling, swimming, sailing, boogie boarding and long walks together.
