ShefieldHouse If you have kids or someone with disabilities needing a room, here's your
place. Unlike many other B&Bs, Sheffield House, in the suburbs of Kailua, welcomes children.
The owners, Paul Sheffield and his wife, Rachel, have three kids, so such things as a portable
baby bed are no problem. There are two units, a one-bedroom and a guest room (which is
shower-only and fully wheelchair-accessible), each with a private entry (through elaborately
landscaped tropical gardens) and a full kitchen. The two spaces can be combined and rented
as a two-bedroom/two-bathroom suite.

THE NORTH SHORE
The North Shore is the Hawaii of Hollywood: giant waves, surfers galore, tropical jungles, wa-
terfalls, and mysterious Hawaiian temples. If you're looking for a quieter vacation, closer to
nature, filled with swimming, snorkeling, diving, surfing, or just plain hanging out on some
of the world's most beautiful beaches, the North Shore is for you. It boasts good restaurants,
shopping, and cultural activities, along with the quiet of country living. The North Shore
doesn't have many accommodations or an abundance of tourist facilities—some say that is its
charm. Bed-and-breakfasts are the most common options, but there are some deluxe facilities
to consider. Beforewarned: The ocean is rough here in winter, and it's nearly an hour's drive
from the North Shore to Honolulu and Waikiki.
Team Real Estate, 66-250 Kamehameha Hwy., Ste. D-103, Haleiwa, HI 96712
( www.teamrealestate.com ; & 800/982-8602 or 808/637-3507; fax 808/637-8881), manages va-
cation rentals on the North Shore. Its units range from $65-a-night condos to $120 one-bed-
room apartments to $835-per-night 11-bedroom oceanfront luxury homes. A minimum stay
of 1 week is required for some properties, but shorter stays are available as well.
KeIkiBeachBungalows This collection of studio, one-, and two-bedroom cottages is located on
a beautiful beach. Snuggled on a large lot with its own 200-foot stretch of white sand between
two legendary surf spots (Waimea Bay and Banzai Pipeline), the units are affordable if com-
pact: very small bedrooms with a small kitchen (with all the necessary essentials) and living
room. But, hey, with the ocean just outside, how much time are you going to spend inside?
(If you can live without being right on the ocean, the garden units are also a great deal.) The
winter waves are too rough for most swimmers, but there's a large lava reef nearby with tide
pools to explore and, on the other side, Shark's Cove, a relatively protected snorkeling area.
Nearby are tennis courts and a jogging path. All units have full kitchens and their own barbe-
cue areas.
