I have never had a more relaxing trip than I had at Nalo Cottage! The funny thing is, my little one got sick, we both were stung by Man-O-Wars and I was eaten alive by mosquitos on this trip, but when I would wake up in that comfortable bed and make coffee to drink on the backyard patio in the morning... nothing could disturb paradise! I fell in love with all the tropical critters. I was thrilled to see so many lizards, wild chickens, the cutest little tiny ants! Even the large tropical roaches and roosters didn't bother me.
The east side of Oahu is my favorite side and Waimanalo does not disappoint! I believe this property to be perfectly situated not too far outside of the city but still country enough. I had the most delicious waffle ever at a small eatery (Hawaiian Island Café) a couple of blocks south from Nalo Cottage. Actually, all the best food we ate on this trip came from the local shacks on the east side.
Anyway, the property is clean and perfectly manicured. I enjoyed the layout of the cottage and the jetted tub came in handy when nursing the Man-O-War sting. I really loved the view outside the bedroom window of the "jungle" property directly behind the cottage. While we didn't get to meet Hal and Terri, Uncle Peter was a lovely substitute. You really walk away feeling like family! I high recommend this place and we will be back again! Mahalo for your hospitality, Terri, Hal and Uncle Peter!
