The blue waters and tropical climate of Oahu may not seem like the typical setting for a Thanksgiving celebration, but as we here on the island know, our bright Oahu backdrop is a given (and an added bonus!) that we’re thankful for having every Thanksgiving.

Another reason to give thanks? Having a stylish kitchen to prepare the epic holiday meal in.

Here are a couple of Oahu kitchens that would make anyone grateful this Thanksgiving.

 

makau

84-119 Makau Street, Waianae | $1,890,000

This thoughtfully designed gourmet kitchen faces directly into the blue sea where spouting whales, spinner dolphins and golden sunsets are visible. Soaring ceilings, a rock wall and an open design layout further enhances the island experience. If some of your gracious guests choose to help with the meal preparations, seat them at the breakfast bar where they’ll be able to get front row seats to the stunning locale.

 

162-kokololio-221-copy

162 Kokololio Place, Honolulu | $2,495,000

This upgraded kitchen’s sleek cabinetry, stainless steel appliances and open windows provide a luxurious feel to the already prestigious home.  You’ll be able to warm up your goods on the island stove and stuff your turkey on the countertop as the bright island sunshine makes its way into your kitchen space.

 

kaulana2

633 Kaulana Place, Honolulu | $4,688,000

Ample countertop space, an accommodating island and a bright, sunny ambiance are some of the perks of cooking in this grand kitchen. The open design concept lets you interact with your guests as they gather around the adjacent dining room space and take in the beautiful surroundings that are visible from the expansive windows throughout.
