This Hawaii beach isn’t rocky, but that didn’t stop Sylvester Stallone from building his dream house there.
Although it has changed hands since then, the beach house has once again hit the market for $8.8 million.
The oceanfront home on Kauai’s Anini Beach was designed by Honolulu architect Jim Schmit, who explains that Stallone wanted a dwelling full of contrasts, strength and light.
Hence, the sharp angles, organic curves, hard and soft surfaces and indoor/outdoor living and entertainment spaces.
The four-bedroom, 4½-bathroom home, built in 1988, is 3,638 square feet and comes with views of the ocean and the Kīlauea Lighthouse.

The main bedroom features lighthouse views.
The current owners are vintners from Healdsburg, Calif., the Schreyer family, who bought the home from Stallone in 1996 for $1.87 million.
Matt Beall of Hawaii Life has the listing.
Carlos Santana recently bought a $20 million home in the area and sold a smaller home nearby, also represented by Hawaii Life.
