Description Fairway to Ocean: Waimea

A five-minute walk from the beach, this villa looks out over a golf course all the way to the ocean. The interiors are bright and open, with three of the bedrooms opening onto private terraces. Days here are best spent whipping up alfresco meals in the outdoor kitchen, lounging by the pool and relaxing in the jacuzzi. When you're ready to hit the sand, you'll find a handy range of beach equipment in the garage. You'll also have access to shared facilities at the nearby beach club and wellness centre.
