Vacation Cottages on the North Shore of Maui, Hawaii
Cottages on Maui's North Shore are quite different from one another, so check their websites (see References) for pictures to find the one that suits you. Most can be described as cozy, with one or at most two bedrooms and one bath. What they lack in size they make up for in coastline views or lush landscaping. Study listings for pros and cons such as extreme wind or noise, proximity to neighboring cottages including the owner's, minimum stays and more. Prices do not include 13.42 percent tax.
