Ohana Glow

Built for outdoor living on Kauai's South Shore, this single-level villa wraps around a private pool and hot tub, with the covered lanai – complete with an outdoor kitchen and barbecue – angled to catch the Pacific horizon. Come evening, the fire pit terrace is where you'll want to be as the sky shifts through pink and orange above the palms. An outdoor bathroom open to the tropical air and four en-suite bedrooms (one with bunk beds, ideal for families) round things out. Poipu Beach essentials are provided, and Spouting Horn Blowhole and the Kauai Botanical Gardens are both close at hand.

Home truths:
* This home is currently listed for sale, so there’s a rare chance your host might need to carry out viewings during your stay – advance notice would be given.
* While this home sits inside a resort community, it does not include access to the golf course or club amenities – so if that's a draw for your trip, you'll need to arrange access separately.
* For those with reduced mobility, there's a ground floor bedroom and bathroom here.
* While the WC isn't photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
* Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay.
* The swimming pool isn't fenced.
