The 16 Best Airbnbs in Hawai‘i From O‘ahu to Kaua‘i - AFAR

"Located on the southern side of Kaua‘i, this house (pictured at the top of the article) is tucked back from the bustling beachfront and hidden in the hills, surrounded by pastures, creeks, and gardens that flutter to life with rare native birds and butterflies. The owners are lifelong boaters, so in building the house, they selected exotic hardwoods that would withstand the tropical elements and almost evoke the feeling of being inside a yacht. Throughout, they’ve decorated the space with natural fabrics and objets d’art they collected on their travels, bringing in unique textural elements like camel hair, silk, and cashmere. The property gets bonus points for its infinity pool and hand-woven hammocks, excellent spots to take in the view of the surrounding hills." - Nicholas DeRenzo
