Description The Long View: Waimea

A five-minute walk from the beach, this villa sits on the edge of an oceanfront golf course. Inside, it's bright and open, with large windows framing leafy views and a living space that leads onto a terrace and lawn, with views across the fairway to the water. You're part of a private estate here, with access to a shared pool and hot tub. And when the sand calls, you'll find a range of handy beach equipment to keep the whole gang entertained – snorkelling gear, boogie boards, the works.
