"This 12-sided home is a short walk from the black-sand Kehena Beach. One of our favorite Hawai‘i Airbnbs, this 12-sided architectural marvel—made with Balinese hardwood floors and redwood rafters—is all about bringing the tropical outside in: A dome skylight floods the space with natural light, and lazily whirring ceiling fans keep the air flowing if you leave the windows open. When you’re not lounging in the oversize papasan chair or the indoor jet tub, take a swim in the 30-foot circular pool. The home is surrounded by coconut, mango, soursop, avocado, papaya, and banana trees, and when you’re ready for venturing beyond the jungle-like yard, you’ll find the black-sand Kehena Beach two blocks away, nearby night and farmers’ markets, and the scenic Red Road, which crosses through lava fields along the coast." - Lyndsey Matthews, Nicholas DeRenzo
