The Descendants

Native islander Matt King (George Clooney) lives with his family in Hawaii. Their world shatters when a tragic accident leaves his wife in a coma. Not only must Matt struggle with the stipulation in his wife's will that she be allowed to die with dignity, but he also faces pressure from relatives to sell their family's enormous land trust. Angry and terrified at the same time, Matt tries to be a good father to his young daughters, as they too try to cope with their mother's possible death.

Filming Locations!

Take a tour of the houses and filming locations in the movie The Descendants adapted from the book by Kaui Hart Hemmings.

5160 Old Pali Road, Honolulu, HI
This is the address on the living will for Elizabeth King. This address doesn't seem to actually exist.

3849 Old Pali Road, Honolulu, HI 96817
This is the address for the house Matt King is living in, where the pool is in the front, the cement/concrete pots in front, the flagstaff properties in the back (note the 2 extra mailboxes) and its on the corner of Old Pali Road and Gartley Place. http://g.co/maps/y5pw6

155 Dowsett Ave, Honolulu, Hawaii 96817
This is the address for the house Matt runs to, the place where Mark and Kai Mitchell are in the movie.

4328 Papu Cir, Honolulu, HI 96816
This doesnt have the turtle on it as it did in the movie. This is the address of Brian Speer where Elizabeth King was caught with Brian Speer by Alexandra King.

55-202 Kamehameha Hwy Laie, HI 96762
This the house across the street from Pounder Beach. Its where Mike King told the family he wasn't signing documents to transfer the estate from the King Family to Don Holitzer. Its owned by a group - Kikila Partners.

3745 Maunaloa Ave Honolulu, HI
This is where Lani and Barb Higgins lives and Scottie and Matt go to apologize to Lani.

4420 Aukai Ave, Honolulu, HI 96816
This is the house Brian Speer has for sale.

130 Wailupe Cir, Honolulu, HI 96821
I strongly suspect based on the views that this is Scott Thorson's house. The house in front says 130 Hale Aka'ula.

Kipu Kai Beach
The Descendants - Kauai Property - Kipu Kai Beach. This is the location of the bay view from the movie. This is the plot of land that the King family and cousins collectively own in trust and have the issue with trust in perpetuity.
