Frommer's Very Highly Recommended

Hidden on the North Shore are these two unique cottages nestled on a quiet 7-acre farm with horses, fruit trees, native gardens, flowers, and organic vegetables (you are welcome to pick dinner). We highly recommend both of these darling bungalows. Each is fully furnished with hardwood floors, top-of-the-line bedding, tropical island-style decor, complete kitchen, washer/dryer, and everything you can think of to make your stay heavenly (from all the great videos you have been meaning to watch to an excellent CD library). It's close to activities, restaurants, and shopping, yet far enough away to have the peace and quiet of the Hawaii of yesteryear. Hosts Allan and Catherine Rietow, who have lived their entire lives in the islands, can help you plan your stay, give you money-saving tips, and even hand out complimentary masks, snorkels, boogie boards, and other beach toys while pointing you to their favorite beaches. Note to parents: These cottages are not appropriate for children.
