Beachfront Backyard With Hammock
Just off the beautiful beach of Hawaii's Hanalei Bay, this gorgeous residence has just over an acre of land to itself. Snag a spot in the hammock or lounge in a chair and no, you don't have to come inside until it's dark.

Yellow Two-Story Exterior and Bikes
A cute two-story building—a bonus on the property—includes a workshop, gym, one and a half baths and a garage.
Tropical Great Room With White Beams
The beams of the great room were left exposed and painted white, a nice way to lighten the feel of the space. The ceiling fans stand out in handsome contrast.
Tropical Great Room With Sunset View
With a setting this breathtaking, it's a shame to be inside...and the way this beach house is set up, you never really have to be. There are huge windows everywhere and here, in the great room, the entire back wall folds up to connect the space to the porch.
Tropical Great Room With Two Blue Sofas
Indoor and outdoor spaces are equally inviting—and often joined! Here, the wide open doorway between the great room and the porch beautifully frames an ocean snapshot.
Tropical Living Room and Porch
Two sofas, both vibrant blue, bring the ocean's gorgeous color into the great room. The house itself has almost 5, 000 square feet of scenic living space.
Tropical Open Plan Kitchen With Surfboards
Steps from the backyard is Hanalei Bay and excellent surfing. So in a fun decor twist, surfboards have been incorporated all over the kitchen and great room's design.
Neutral Tropical Open Plan Kitchen
The airy kitchen layout lets the family chef prepare meals and still stay part of the action. Kitchen amenities include double ovens, two sinks, a wine refrigerator and the same beautiful teak floors seen throughout the home.
Tropical Great Room With Surfboard Lights
The soaring ceiling of the great room owns its beachfront roots, with whimsical surfboard track lighting. (A beautiful all-levels surfing beach is just outside the backyard gate.) And wherever you are in the room—kitchen, dining area, watching a movie—the view is always on display, thanks to wall-sized sliding doors.
Tropical White Bedroom With Luggage Rack
Treehouse or most peaceful bedroom ever? Quite possibly both, since this bedroom (one of the home's five) has wraparound windows that completely open up the space to the palm's leafy greens.
Tropical Bedroom With Canopy Bed
Dark wood floors pair handsomely with this bedroom's painted-white beams for a tropical look that's just right for a beach house.
Yellow Beachfront Balcony
The location is an intimate part of the home's mood, on full display in indoor spaces and outdoor ones. And the rooms' color palette of bright colors meshes cheerfully with the island's lushness.
Porch With Bay View
The day starts and ends with the most spectacular vistas of Kauai's Hanalei Bay. This huge porch is an easy extension of the home's great room.
Tropical Backyard and Bar at Night
At night, the house and its wonderful outdoor areas glow with a friendly welcome, from the outdoor bar to the patios and screened-in lanai to the balconies.
Tropical Outdoor Bar With Sunset View
Cocktails go down super easy with views like that to look at. Or serve them up with dinner; the outdoor kitchen is also equipped with a grill and pizza oven!
Outdoor Kitchen With Yellow Countertops
The outdoor kitchen has all the benefits—and more—of a gourmet indoor kitchen, including a stainless steel Kalamazoo grill, a pizza oven, sink and wine refrigerator.
Tropical Backyard and Outdoor Bar
The backyard feels as big as a ranch and, in the midst of sweeping lawns, crazy views and a hammock, sits a covered bar. Pina coladas served on demand.
Beachfront Porch With Green Armchairs
Just a green lawn away from the beach itself, the back porch offers the best sunset views. Grab a mai tai and watch the sun melt into the water.
