Our stay in this Hawaiian oasis already feels like a dream. Sydney is the consummate host; she met us on arrival and bid us a warm goodbye on departure. All our needs were attended to -- and then some. The amenities included excellent Hawaiian coffee and shelves of books, board games, and CDs from which to choose. Not to mention the property itself, which is filled with history and places to explore. But it was really the views, the island breezes, and the cottage itself -- which is like a snug ship in the middle of a tropical forest -- that made us all long to stay forever. This place exceeded our already high expectations -- even winning over our finicky 14-year-old.
