"Aloha Vacation Cottages (877/875-1722, www.alohacottages.net)
are a fine option for staying on the sunny Kohala Coast, home to many
large, elegant resorts. The kitchen equipped rentals - a one-bedroom,
one-bathroom guesthouse and a studio cottage-start at $560 per week.
There's free wireless Internet access, and, for an extra charge, on-site
therapeutic massages."
UPDATE from your hosts: The Studio is now a 1-bedroom cottage
too.

"Hostess Heidi Staab cannot do enough for her guests. She makes
sure she has every kind of beach toy you can think of, and if you have
children, she'll loan you a playpen, high chair, or whatever else you
need. Staying with her is like having your own private concierge to
make sure that your vacation is everything you want it to be. Heidi
has two units available. The small, intimate guesthouse has a full kicthen,
a separate bedroom, washer/dryer, high speed Internet, and all the comforts
of home, including a selection of pillows and a mattress with an adjustable
'comfort level' on each side. The larger stand-alone cottage has all
the same amenities, plus more space. Guests are greeted with a fruit
basket. Heidi provides daily maid service(she's also a massage therapist
- don't miss one of her massages). The cottages are on the 'dry' or
'sunny' side of Waimea, just about 10 - 15 minute drive to the beach
and just about a few minutes to the restaurants of Waimea."
UPDATE from your hosts: Daily maid service is on special request for additional
fee.
