I just received S4 on DVD and have *finally* completed my MPI collection!
Maybe it's just my excitement over finally having this set, but it seems that season four is the most "Estate heavy" season, in that there are several different angles in regards to filming, and we see lots more of the place than we did in the first three seasons...even the upstairs!

How populated is the beach on a usual day?
From the video clips on youtube, it seems to be a fairly empty beach.

I was there on a Tuesday around noon (low tide that day) and we were the only ones that had walked down to the Tidal Pool. There were a few folks farther up the beach around where you park and I wanted to shout " Magnum, Tidal Pool, Rabbit Island, Estate, the slab...Come on Folks, Magnum!!!..........My wife and son were the only ones to experience that outburst as I broke away from them like a scarred rabbit running up the beach when mecca came into view.............

I agree with you, but much of it is new sets, like the upstairs, not the actual estate. The Case of the Red-Faced Thespian is in that season, right? That episode is almost entirely set at the estate, but all the new indoor locations are sets. I'm always on the lookout for actual estate scenes to help me with my SketchUp model, so sets don't interest me as much. There are a smattering of unique actual estate locations spread out throughout the seasons. Then there's Hawaii Five-O which used actual estate interiors. Those scenes help me the most.

After finishing my first 3 seasons of MPI, i have fallin in love with the masters estate ( and the whole show of course!), it's amazing how much watching the hawaii life cheers me up when living in wintery ireland. It's quite a trek away but i have to make it there sometime over the next couple of years, maybe it tie in as a honeymoon destination or something but i have promised myself i will go. Been around oz and asia but havn't even been stateside yet so look forward to it.
It's a pity the estate isn't open for tourists, like another fav of mine, southfork in dallas. But even just visiting the tidal pool area around the back which is open to the public should be a great experience. Just wondring how other fans found the experience, or was it a bit of an anti climax?

I think James described it best. As you walk up the beach and see Rabbit Island, the lava rocks forming the tidal pool, the slab, the guest house and strain to see parts of the main house you are on massive system overload. No matter what condition the property is in you have memories of various episodes and where the characters were standing, sitting, arguing or just plain teaching a fine lass to snorkle. My only regret was I convinced my wife to tag along as she is not a fan and was ready to move on to the next touristy spot as soon as we arrived and took a few photos. Come hell or "low water" I am going back someday, by myself and going to spend some time there swimming,sunning and meditating on paradise..........
