Ever watch The Walking Dead or a zombie flick and think, "Why are they sheltering in that house?" Every October, we get into the spirit of the season. With a howling Halloween moon on the horizon and zombies back on the Sunday night TV lineup, we pick a couple of gorgeous vacation homes where you can shelter in total luxury and safety during a zombie apocalypse!
The Lodge at Kaloko - Big Island
When you stay at The Lodge at Kaloko with Exotic Estates, you enjoy a peaceful and private estate experience that feels completely your own. The property sits on several acres in Kona’s lush cloud forest, well off the beaten path and framed by forest preserve land, which creates a genuinely secluded environment — ideal for unwinding without the bustle of nearby tourism. Guests enter through a private gated driveway that leads directly to the estate’s parking and living spaces, giving you control over who comes and goes during your stay. Inside and around the home, strategically placed security cameras on exterior entry points provide additional peace of mind while respecting your privacy within the residence itself.
This estate also includes thoughtful house rules that enhance comfort and security for everyone. Only registered guests are permitted on the property, and all visitors must be disclosed in advance as part of the booking agreement, which helps maintain a secure and respectful environment throughout your stay. With plenty of space between you and any neighboring homes, cozy indoor and outdoor living areas, and amenities like a gated entry, you can relax knowing your privacy and sense of space are prioritized from arrival to departure.
Dali Hale at Secret Beach - Kauai
Our fourth home is lovely Dali Hale at Secret Beach on Kauai. Located in the north of the Island, the home is an idyllic and luxurious fortress in which to ride out a zombie apocalypse.
With seven bedrooms and seven bathrooms set on three acres of prime tropical real estate, this home has plenty of room for your group to rest up and live life in total comfort.
Of course, it's gated to keep out unwanted clans and sits on a bluff, so it's wonderfully defensive. There's also a fruit orchard adjacent to the home, so you'll always have tasty supplies!
