On Kauai's sunny south shore, this villa is built around the pull of the Pacific. The infinity-edge pool terrace puts the ocean right in front of you, and the covered alfresco dining area makes evenings outside an easy default rather than an occasion. Come dusk, the fire pit lawn gives everyone a reason to linger. Four en-suite bedrooms – including a bunk bed room that works well for families – mean different groups can find their own rhythm, while beach chairs, towels, and a cooler are packed and ready whenever Poipu's shores call.
