Access to the beach, a sushi place in walking distance, and that kitchen. Oh, that kitchen!

I'll agree no wrong answer but I'm taking Hawaii.

How could you be that close to a body of water and not be able access it (Cali). That's just criminal.

I agree 100%. Other than cars, hookers, and blow, what would you spend that extra cash on? San Francisco is a beautiful city with so many things to do and see. I will agree that the pool is kind of a waste because it's a rare day when the temps get much above 75.

Many pools are just entertainment backdrops.

It is like people have never heard of heated pools.

Thought it was going to be a tough decision, but forgot we had a northern CA house, and don't really care for the house or location.... at least not compared to Hawaii.

I guess I'm not sure what benefit there is to living outside SF compared to Kona. Kona has great restaurants, some of the best beaches in the world, jungle and mountain hiking nearby, fishing and whale watching tours. What would I be missing by not being in SF? Pro sports in person is the only thing I can think of that I'd be interested in, and even that is better on TV anymore.

SF just has so much more of all of that. Except for the best beaches. I've heard those Hawaii beaches start to close in on you after a while.

I'm taking Hawaii but I do want to note that the pool does not seem to belong to the property if you look at pictures #4 and #5 and pay attention to the property line. Still, I could use a little of my surplus cash from the first year and put a custom one in.

Let's see -- One of the top 15 symphonies in the world along with a vibrant current music scene, world-class restaurants, museums, and art. There's a couple of pretty good universities around for your kids if they're smart enough. You can fish and hike close by if you want to go to that route. Outstanding vineyards within the 100 mile limit. Oh yeah, sourdough breasd that can't be matched.

The house for sale includes multiple properties as defined on that map. The pool definitely belongs to this property.

Some of those are interesting. The biggest draw, universities, would be difficult to base a decision on because my children could easily choose any other university. Fishing and hiking would be odd reasons to choose SF over Hawaii. None of them outweigh easy access to beautiful beaches like those on the Big Island.

Hawaii. I figured I’d run that Cali house a ways but I’d probably get a shack on Hawaii to the semifinals.

I haven’t been a big location guy because I hate humidity and stupid heat. ****ing Hawaii was paradise.

A lot to love about both spots. Hawaii would be my choice though, prefer the house and the weather. I trust all the unknowns about living way out there in the middle of the Pacific would sort out favorably, have a hunch.

Hawaii by a mile.

While the views in the CALI house of San Fran, GG bridge and the location is great (about 20-25 minutes to Napa/Sonoma), the house reminds me of a giant conference center/hotel.

To wake up, climb stairs to the ocean and snorkel or swim from your house and see whales, turtles, dolphins is paradise!

This is a super tough one for me. I've been voting this Cali home in all the heats, but Hawaii, to be able to just plop into the ocean any old time is amazing. Probably the biggest drawback of living up here near this California home is can't go in to the ocean like I could in L.A.

Hawaii. and would probably have visitors 9 months year.
