Artevilla

You enter through a private courtyard into an entry with a billiard table. The great room has a twenty-foot vaulted ceiling and large sliding glass pocket doors, with sofas and armchairs facing a home theater (Blu-ray and Zappiti players) and a Sonos music system.

The kitchen has a five-burner Wolf range, ovens and microwave, two large Sub-Zero refrigerators, two dishwashers, stone counters and wood cabinetry. A separate dining room seats 12 and opens to the outside.

The furnishings, mostly French, were designed for the house in fine wood, silk and linen, set against dark oak trim and ceilings. Sculpture, paintings and art objects from around the world are placed throughout. The house runs on a solar farm, with the regular grid as backup. A foosball table joins the billiard table for the kids.

A mezzanine open to the great room leads to two guest bedrooms, a den and a large lanai, part covered and part open, with sunsets and ocean-to-mountain views.

The 46-foot saltwater infinity pool with a baja terrace and a six-person infinity hot tub face the ocean. There are 1,244 square feet of covered lanai and 1,000 square feet uncovered, furnished by Kettal.

A pool fence can be put up for $200 plus tax if you are traveling with small children.

Pauoa Beach is a gated oceanfront community between the Fairmont Orchid and Mauna Lani, Auberge Collection Resort. The Kohala Coast has a desert climate: warm, sunny and clear almost every day of the year.

The Pauoa Beach Club sits on the sand at Pauoa Bay. It has a 110-foot negative edge pool, lounges and umbrellas, locker rooms, massage rooms, a baby pool, a sauna and a fitness center. The bay has a white sand beach, palm trees and plenty of sea life, and the calm lagoon just steps from the club suits snorkeling, paddle boarding and children of all ages. In winter you may see dolphins and whales offshore. All beach club amenities are included with the rental at no extra charge.

Artevilla guests also have complimentary access to the Mauna Lani Auberge Wellness & Tennis Club, with tennis and pickleball court time, the fitness club and lap pool, plus 30% off at the two Mauna Lani golf courses. The Shops at Mauna Lani, about a 10-minute walk, have a gourmet market, shops, five restaurants and free cultural events on the plaza.
