Description Plumeria & Pacific: Koloa

Perched on the second level with the Pacific stretching out beyond the living room, covered lanai, and main bedroom, this Poipu villa is built around its views – and they earn every mention. The covered lanai with its built-in barbecue is the natural heart of the stay, equally good for slow mornings and alfresco dinners as the light shifts over the ocean. Inside, high ceilings and a well-considered kitchen with a central island keep things easy whether you're cooking or just unwinding. Poipu, Shipwreck, and Lawai Beaches are all minutes away, and beach chairs, towels, and a cooler are ready to grab on your way out the door.

Home truths:
* Local shops are a short walk away, and several beaches are within easy reach on foot or by a quick drive – you'll want a car for the bigger beaches and wider range of restaurants.
* At full occupancy, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area.
