We moved to Kauai from an island in British Columbia, Canada. We find the cost of living here on Kauai somewhat less than in B.C.: gas is less, food is about the same ( we are smart, local shoppers) and liquor is half the price! The 3 staples of life. Of course, we got a steal of a deal on a condo here some 10 years ago. amazingly, consumer goods cost less here than in B.C. We are fully employed and loving there lifestyle. It has worked for us!
Something not mentioned … there is a substantial anti-haole sentiment in the Kau district. It’s one of the last ‘undeveloped’ parts of B I, and there’s a reason that two major golf resorts failed. The locals like it that way. Burglaries and property crime are rampant, and car theft is pandemic. It’s a fifty mile drive to any store of size, although there’s a great bakery, ‘Punalu’u’ if you don’t mind tourist prices. Recent similar local social media listings in Ocean View are $50 – $70 K.
