Photos and Description of the Captain Cook vacation house rental
House, 2 Bedrooms + Sleeping Porch, 2 Baths, (Sleeps 5)

For all of you who are “on-the-fence” about where to stay in Hawaii, we would like to share some important things to consider.

When it comes to airfare, renting a car, food, gas and misc. expenses, everyone who ventures out to Hawaii will pretty much pay the same price. The real difference is the lodging. A lot of people overlook this important decision and often find themselves having a sub par vacation based on where they ended up staying. 'We get it! ' You thought that you would save a few bucks, however, the few bucks that you saved on paper did

nothing to ultimately enhance your trip.

That's where Simple Pleasures makes a difference.

For the value, we offer a clean, comfortable and elegant accommodation that will absolutely enhance your stay in Hawaii.

We invite you to view our photos and video to see the difference.

We are offering the Penthouse level of our 5,000 sq. ft recently finished Beach home starting at $175.00. You get the top floor, 2 bedroom, 2 full bathroom, huge penthouse suite that sleeps 5. All of our amenities are clean, custom and brand new! The rest of the house is officially closed, which means no other people will stay in this Huge Home or on the property while you are there. Lastly, this Hawaiian Palace is only a 5 min. walk to the beach! What more can we say? it is a fantastic deal. Please compare our photos and videos with others on the site. Our aim is to get it right, and make sure our guests are happy.

If this makes sense to you please read on and get more details. Aloha! Simple Pleasures.

Our official Property Description

From the start, the concept behind this truly majestic build was very clear, tastefully work with the land, capture its essence, and “Keep it Simple.”

The Hawaiian Islands are simply one of the world’s most desirable locations, truly a tropical paradise beyond compare. A perfect fit for a once in a lifetime opportunity to build a once in a lifetime dream. With that said, we warmly offer our personal contribution to the islands by launching our most beautiful creation to date, “Simple Pleasures”.

Situated approximately 45 minutes south of Kailua- Kona, Simple Pleasures is close enough to partake in all of Kona’s nightlife yet far enough away to marinate in a real feeling of authentic Hawaiian lifestyle. Once you set foot on the property, it will be obvious that your new Hawaiian home was the right choice. This freshly finished 2012 custom home is easily on par with the highest of high-end resorts, but at nearly half the cost.

Our “ Plumeria Lined Paradise”, a five minute walk to the beach, not only offers some of the most magnificent ocean views, but our guests will appreciate the natural breezes from the Hawaiian trade winds lufting through our 16ft ceilings. Luxurious stone floors were thoughtfully placed in all common areas to ensure our guests keep cool. The full size custom bathrooms, made of both stone and marble, enjoy upgraded touches such as custom cabinets, vessel sinks and bidets to enhance your experience. For the utmost comfort, each bedroom has been outfitted with luxury hotel grade queen size pillow-top mattresses, finished off with mahogany sleigh bed frames. Additionally, the bedrooms include mahogany hardwood floors, your own private bath, wireless internet, and safe deposit boxes. Our tastefully executed kitchen, designed to be a “social kitchen”, places the cook in a position that faces the entire living room, lanai and all guests while preparing meals whether dining indoors or using the formal dining table outdoors on the lanai. Last but not least, the crown jewel of Simple Pleasures is our 1,000-sq.ft ocean facing lanai. You can easily see 40 miles of spectacular coastline views in each direction! It really equates to being the ultimate outdoor living room on the property. This is where all the sunsets, whale watching and outdoor socializing happens. Whether it is a glass of wine, reading a book, or stretching out on the 8ft. daybed, this spot is all Hawaii. From our vantage point, the mixture of fresh floral air mixed with the tranquil ocean breeze cannot be put into words. This is truly a space to be experienced. With this much space, we also created an outdoor “dining room”. This was brilliant! With million dollar views, this is the perfect spot for our guest to gather and have breakfast before a day of site seeing, lunch after snorkeling at the beach or a beautiful backdrop for a romantic dinner at sunset. It doesn’t get any better.

Simple Pleasures to us means, “seamless harmony”. Understanding that your Hawaii vacation means everything to you and trips like this don’t happen everyday, our focus was to anticipate your needs and exceed your expectations.

We thank you for considering us and wish you nothing but Aloha, and remember,

“Keep it Simple”!

Note: Our calendar is up to date. If there is a partial line through the date, then that day is not available.

Thank you!

Our stay at Simple Pleasures was absolutely awesome! The home is not finished but is a beautiful home with a lot of thought put into it. The kitchen is fully stocked. The home is luxuriously appointed. It has very nice sumptuous towels and linens. The veiw from the master bath shower is awesome. Imagine taking a shower with the window open and seeing the ocean and listening to the birds and ocean. There are feral goats that roam the hillside. They are soooo cute. The beach is a very rugged beach but very beautiful. You do need water togs to walk in the surf. It is called "Pebble Beach" because it is all lava rock and the rock gets smaller as you get closer to the water. It is beautiful. The housekeeper lives nearby and is super helpful if you have any questions or need anything. I would stay here again in a second it is truly paradise! Mahalo!

Simple pleasures is an amazing vacation home with beautiful decor to set up a nice holiday mood. The clean ocean view was awesome and added to the peaceful relaxing stay. The owners have thought about the visitor requirements very well and have made sure nothing is missed. The kitchen is up to date with plenty of utensils to ensure you can cook and enjoy a hearty meal when you don't feel like getting out of this wonderful house especially when you have the beautiful ocean right in front of you. The house has plenty of light with its open concept. No curtains in the house but you still get all the privacy as the house is at a higher elevation and the last one on the street.
The pebble beach is walking distance and usually not at all crowded. Lot of excellent spots about 30 min drive if you want to enjoy the island.. Snorkel sets and beach gear was also provided to enjoy the beaches. Overall a wonderful experience and we would highly consider staying here when visiting the big island. Mahalo!

This is a new, comfortable, and beautiful house in a fabulous location. This is a high quality house built against a cliff with an amazing ocean view. It is beautifully decorated with solid wood furniture, kitchen with very nice green marble counters, high quality utensils, beautiful and comfortable bedrooms and bathrooms. It was perfectly cleaned. The high ceiling with wood work gives a spacious feeling. All this together with the amazing sunset is worth every single minute there. It was great pleasure to spend sometime in this very special place. I am glad that the owners are willing to share this place.

My family had a wonderful, relaxing time here. It was the perfect size for two couples. The home had everything you could possibly need during your stay. Beach bag, chairs, boogie boards, flashlights and a stocked kitchen. The water cooler was very nice to fill up with water for those hikes. The view was amazing, to be out on the lanai at any time of day was the highlight. Ate breakfast every morning outside, watching the few boats that were out, then at night it was very peaceful to just relax from a day out on the daybed. Very convienient location to Volcano park and other southern sites. Thank you for opening your home.

Super Nice Home with an awesome view!

My family stayed several nights in the home and I must say the house is brand new. The appliances and items in the house were top notch and high quality items. There were a few things that were unfinished, I suppose they are currently still working to finish the house (the bottom level). The view was amazing and the area is pretty nice, really close to a lot of Kona Coffee plantations and other fruit places, Captain Cook's Monument is also an easy drive away. You must go snorkeling there, it is the best snorkeling spot in the Hawaiian Islands and I believe it. Very nice property and nice owners, overall good stay.

My husband and I stayed at this amazing property for four nights at the end of June. You get the enire top floor of a gorgeous new home located ~15-20 minutes south of Captain Cook in a little "subdivision" fronting the ocean. The owners are not onsite so you do have complete privacy. Booking and paying was easy and hassle-free, even for Canucks like us (we paid by Paypal with our credit card). The owners always responded quickly to our emails and were very helpful, and really seemed like it was important to them that you enjoy your stay at their property. The home is located about two-thirds of the way down a steep (no kidding--it's really steep!) 1-mile road off of the main highway. The home is beautifully furnished, with gorgeous hardwood and limestone floors, and granite and marble countertops. It is well-looked after, and was spotless. There were thoughtful touches, such as a water cooler, two coolers, beach chairs and boogie boards for use. The piece de resistance, though, is the amazing wraparound deck. It had the most AMAZING expansive, oceanfront views, and the best daybed ever on which to enjoy said views! And did I mention the sunsets? Spectacular! There is a home next to you on one side, and miles of nothing on the other side, other than 8 or 9 feral goats that roam the land. There is no AC but plenty of vents and ceiling fans which kept it comfortable. At night the only sound is the faint sound of the waves hitting the shore down below. Not even a dog barking! If you enjoy being away from the touristy areas in your own property with finishings, furnishings and ocean views to rival top-end resorts (at a fraction of the cost), then look no further! This is the place to just chill out and relax, for a few days, a week, or more!

This beautiful home provided such a peaceful, majestic place to hang our hats during our stay on the Big Island. The romantic ambiance couldn't be more perfect! We had nothing but "bliss" and positive experiences during our visit there. Nothing like a valentines dinner on the Lanai…We appreciated the opportunity to relax, laugh, and live Aloha at this magic spot. We could not have asked for a more beautiful setting! I recommend Simple Pleasures to all who want something more from a vacation rental.
Owner's Response: We are delighted to hear that your stay was so enjoyable! Your review was simply beautiful.
We can't wait until you come back to visit our beautiful home and experience it again.

My husband and I, joined with another couple recently ventured out to Hawaii and stayed at Simple Pleasures. We were so glad we chose this remarkable home. It is easily one of the best vacation rentals that we have ever stayed at. The owners are obviously passionate about this beautiful property.. and it shows!l The attention to detail left nothing to be desired. The Master Bedroom was HUGE!! The beds were really comfortable, and the bathrooms were so impressive! With such high ceilings, the place had a very open spacious feel. Very Hawaiian. Mik’a and Lisa, Thank you for a wonderful week. All of us loved, and recommend your beautiful home. What a winner!
