Kona Beach Bungalows

An Iconic Oceanfront Estate in Kailua-Kona

Welcome to Kona Beach Bungalows, an extraordinary oceanfront estate ideally located in the heart of Kailua-Kona. This award-winning private compound spans a prime stretch of coastline and offers a rare blend of classic Hawaiian elegance, resort-style amenities, and the warmth of true island hospitality. With twelve bedrooms and nine bathrooms, Kona Beach Bungalows is thoughtfully designed to host up to 24 guests in absolute comfort—perfect for multigenerational families, group retreats, and unforgettable celebrations.

Rooted in the timeless vision of renowned designer Hamlet (Lucky) Bennett, the estate captures the spirit of Hawaiʻi through refined craftsmanship, lush landscaping, and spaces that invite both connection and quiet reflection. Here, luxury is effortless, sunsets are spectacular, and the Aloha spirit is woven into every detail.

Living Spaces

Kona Beach Bungalows is comprised of two distinct yet seamlessly connected residences—each offering its own sense of space, style, and privacy.

• Moana Makai (Oceanfront Residence)

The crown jewel of the estate, Moana Makai welcomes guests via tranquil koi ponds that set a serene tone from the moment of arrival. Inside, air-conditioned interiors feature rich Koa cabinetry, granite black countertops, and thoughtfully curated furnishings. Gather around the state-of-the-art billiard table, enjoy one of two wet bars, or relax in expansive living areas designed for both entertaining and unwinding.
Step onto the oceanfront lanai to experience Hawaiʻi at its most magical—plush seating framed by elegant Koa chairs, panoramic sunset views, and frequent sightings of spinner dolphins and seasonal humpback whales just offshore.

• Moana Mauka (Oceanview Residence)

Located adjacent to Moana Makai, this equally impressive oceanview home mirrors the same architectural excellence. Spacious interiors showcase Koa kitchen cabinets, slate and hardwood flooring, and an expansive lanai with sweeping Pacific views. The six bedrooms, many furnished with Tommy Bahama Lexington pieces, provide inviting retreats after sun-filled days.
An amenity garage adds to the experience, stocked with snorkeling gear, surfboards, boogie boards, and toddler essentials for family-friendly adventures.

Sleeping Accommodations | Up to 24 Guests

Across both residences, the estate offers twelve well-appointed bedrooms designed for comfort, privacy, and rest. Multiple suites provide ocean or garden views, generous closet space, and easy access to indoor and outdoor living areas—ideal for large groups seeking both togetherness and personal retreat.

Gourmet Kitchens & Dining

Both Moana Makai and Moana Mauka feature fully equipped kitchens ideal for group dining and extended stays. Highlights include Koa cabinetry, stone countertops, quality appliances, and ample prep space. Multiple indoor and outdoor dining areas allow guests to gather for casual breakfasts, celebratory dinners, or sunset cocktails overlooking the ocean.

Resort-Style Outdoor Living

• The estate’s outdoor spaces are designed as a private oceanfront playground:
• Resort-style saltwater swimming pool
• Relaxing hot tub for evening soaks
• Expansive oceanfront lawn and lounging areas
• Direct ocean views ideal for sunset watching and whale spotting
• Whether enjoying a morning swim, an afternoon under the palms, or a starlit evening by the water, every outdoor moment is infused with the rhythm of the sea.
