I rate this cozy cottage in the top 2 of the 4 places we’ve stayed at so far on this extended trip; however, #1 is considerably more expensive. New, super clean, bright & private - just the way we like it. If you want to visit North Shore, consider staying at least 1-2 nites here as well as in the Honolulu area - you will not regret it. Waimea Valley is just around the bend!
