Kona Coast Original Beach Boys 9.5 acre Estate, Pool and Amazing Ocean Views

Kona recalls the Beach Boys playing their pop hits by the pool. The band left but the good vibrations linger. Situated on 9.5 gated acres, gated for with an amazing Hawaiian plantation-style home with separate sleeping quarters and a guest house. Pool hot tub, gas outdoor fire pit and tennis court make it feel like a mini-resort. Mature tropical fruit trees shelter exotic floral gardens.

From the ages of 16 to 60 Baby Boomers embraced the dream of an endless summer evoked by The Beach Boys’ music. Whether you are attracted to the park-like landscape, secluded island get-away, breathtaking ocean views, or the idea of living with Rock & Roll history; this unique property will fire your imagination.

At the center of the multi-structure compound, a big plantation-style home is a credit to a California architect who made the extra effort and captured the essence of a Hawaiian exotic retreat. Existing floor plans testify the main house and guest house were designed for Steven and Mike Love in 1972. From its cool, comfortable 1300 ft elevation the largest residence commands Kona coastline views that extend to include Kealakekua Bay and Kona. On Wednesdays you can see the cruise ship in he harbor.

Beyond the gated entrance a concrete drive ascends to a regulation sized tennis court. where the band often played for parties. A screened room beside the court is used as the current owner’s gym.

The beautifully remodeled kitchen and three of the four and a half baths retain tile custom made for the famous original owners. The main house offers three bedrooms and 3 1/2 baths. Guests also have full use of the 2 bedroom Ohana (guest house) consisting of 1 queen bedroom , 1 bedroom with double bunk beds, 1 bathroom, full kitchen and living room.

Mature mango, coffee, avocado, lime, orange, banana, papaya, passion fruit and an assortment of other tropical fruit trees are the foundation plantings for multiple shade gardens filled with exotic flowers. If you are looking for a peaceful country hide-away, you must see the Beach Boys' Estate. You may hear the music, feel the good vibrations and never want to leave the warmth of the Kona sun.

Captain Cook Estate Exceeds Our Family Expectations!

Fantastic property with plenty of rooms for 10 adults for an 8 day trip from Ohio. We were very impressed with the 2 houses in great condition and the landscape, pool, spa, tennis/pickleball court, and only a short 3 min. drive to the ocean. Memorable Ocean views and very little wind! Great climate. Very fair price per night.

Perfect property for a group

Our extended family stayed here, 13 people. 7 adults and 6 kids ranging in ages from 5 to 15. This place is perfect for families and large groups. Everything was clean and the property is stunning. There is a sports court with equipment, the pool and hot tub are perfect, and it is fully stocked with beach chairs, boogie boards, etc so you just get to show up and enjoy. We really enjoyed our time and highly recommend.

Fantastic property!

Wonderful vacation home for our two families with young kids - quiet, peaceful, park-like grounds with lots of space to spread out and to come together. Very well-stocked kitchen, gorgeous common areas and spectacular pool/hot tub/fire pit area with amazing sunset views from everywhere on the property! Easy access to Kailua and Volcanoes Park, great beaches within an easy drive. We had a wonderful time and Guy was a very discreet and conscientious host. Many thanks for a great vacation home to enjoy!

Above It All, Island Peace

We had an incredible stay at the Beach Boys mansion. The endless ocean views and sense of peace made for an unforgettable experience. The home is beautifully maintained with thoughtfully chosen, island-inspired furnishings, a perfect layout, and plenty of supplies — from seating and lighting to a well-stocked kitchen. The pool area was a favorite, and every guest raved about the views and the super comfortable beds. The house is thoughtfully divided into separate residential areas, giving everyone a sense of privacy when needed.Communication with the hosts was exceptional — fast, clear, and super helpful from start to finish.Do note: sound carries more than you might expect in this quiet, secluded location. While we did our best to keep things low-key, the size of our group alone made it challenging at times. Guests should be very mindful of noise levels, even during normal conversations. To support future visitors, it might be helpful for the owners to consider installing a decibel monitor. We deeply appreciated the peaceful setting and wanted to do our part to preserve it.Although it’s a bit of a drive to town, that distance adds to the magic. It truly felt like we were alone on top of the world.Thank you for sharing such a special property with us!

We just finished our stay and already planning our next trip back to this beautiful property. The VRBO was supplied with everything and more. And the owner was there whenever we needed him. I cannot express how fun this home is and beautiful. Detail in every room. It was perfect to get out of the city and popular tourist attractions to literally a private retreat.

Family Vacation

Enjoyed our stay at the house and loved the property. We had 11 people and there was plenty of room to spread out and not be on top of each other the entire time. The walk to the pool in the evening was better than the pictures. We loved the pool area and fire pit. Needed some help from Guy at the beginning and he was very quick to help out. Lost something on our way out, he found it and mailed it to us. You cannot beat the views from this place, no matter where you are at in the house.

50th Anniversary Family Trip

Guy met us at the house with a gracious welcome. He was always easy to communicate with. The home and property are very well maintained and offered so many great amenities. Three generations enjoyed the amazing pool, hot tub, fire pit for S’mores, and the comfortably furnished sitting areas to read or just enjoy ocean views, sunsets, and rainbows. There were a variety of games which we enjoyed playing as a family. What a unique opportunity to experience the Beach Boys island paradise!
