This is a phenomental, authentic, unique, beautiful, interesting, relaxing place ro stay. We were looking for a place with some "real Hawaii" flavor, and Gisella's place exceeded all expectations. Not only was the cottage beautiful, with incredible antiques and art, it is also very well stocked with everything you need for cooking, sleeeping, and just hanging out. The Wifi worked great, there was just enough choices on the tv, and we read thre books and plaed the board games too.
Plus, you get a very nice saltwater pool all to yourself, and the whole time you are surrounded by the most incredible trees, flowering shrubs, interesting tropical vegetation of all sorts, and the company of chickens and roosters, friendly geckos, and the ubiquitous coqui frogs. Did I mention fresh citrus fruit right off the tree - pick yourself or Gisella will bring you a basket full!
The vibe there is just amazing, you're literally inside Hawaiian history and it'svery comfortable and relaxing and just cool! If you're looking for a resort experience, look elsewhere. If you'd like a very comfortable, beautiful, relaxing, interesting Hawaiian experience, you won't find better!
Convenient to shopping, very private, and just all around awesome!
