Definitely recommend Kauai as it is the picture of ‘tropical island’ with lots to do in terms of nature hikes, kayaking, snorkeling, diving, etc.
Hotel Hana Maui should probably be top of your list.
The YMCA at Keanae on Maui has a cottage. That’s a beautiful spot.
Bungalows on the island of Molokai, I don’t know, but there’s a small hotel left. The Molokai ranch closed down the Lodge, the only 18-hole golf course, the only movie theatre, and the tentalow village at Kaupoa earlier this month though. I’m fairly sure you can find a condo either on the west end, east end, or just east of town (Kaunakakai).
I know that there are some nice cottages down Poipu way on Kauai. My sister stayed there.
Somebody here may know of cottages or bungalows on the island of Hawaii, but I’m not as familiar with that scene.
You might also want to consider some money saving tips I stumbled across when I went on vacation earlier this year. I got to see and do a lot more, and even came home with money in my pocket.
Have an awesome vacation!
