did you need further help? if so can you give us the depth and height of shelves?

I would go with the second plan, more or less. Having a fridge right next to the wall seems like a bad idea to me, and I personally can't stand ranges/cooktops on islands--I like the hood venting straight outside. But I would want more countertop to the left of the fridge--when I take food out of the fridge I would want to plop it right onto the counter, and it looks like there's not enough room as it is.

Hello Ramsha, Walk in or sliding pantry cabinet always make sense as it give clean and proper planning while designing the kitchen. Instead of the offset on the right side of the kitchen entry, you can plan the wash basin to be used for the dining area. And as you said the its a vacation home, you do not have to go for more storage in the kitchen. Rest you can tell us your requirements for the detail planning. We also take care of the Vastu while planning the area.

Ankita, You can takan informed call between one time change vs long term issues. In the current placement (in all likelihood) because of the wind circulation the smoke will come inside with the wind thn going out. Secondly your sink is visible from the living area. You may have to keep it sparkling clean. In the current set up refrigerator can come opposite to the hob followed by a tall pantry unit. Keep the above in mind and take your call.
