Description Portlock and Pacific: Honolulu

Perched on a hillside above Portlock, this villa commands sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean, Diamond Head, and the coastline – a backdrop that greets you from the living room, the pool terrace, and the main suite's floor-to-ceiling windows. Outside, a private pool with shaded lounging and a barbecue makes it easy to spend entire days without venturing far. When you do, local beaches and marina-front dining in Hawaii Kai are within walking distance, and world-class snorkelling at Hanauma Bay is a short drive away.

Home truths:
* The lead guest must be at least 21 years old.
* You'll need a car to make the most of this location — while local beaches and dining in Hawaii Kai are walkable, Hanauma Bay, Waikīkī, and Ala Moana are a fifteen to twenty-minute drive away.
* The two single beds in the fourth bedroom can be converted into a king on request — let your host know in advance if you'd prefer that configuration.
* Your host asks you to respect quiet hours between 8pm and 8am.
