Terri & Hal's place was absolutely perfect for our family of four!
The proximity to the quite, low-key Wiamanalo beach was amazing. This beach is absolutely amazing and one of our favorites, which is saying a lot for this well traveled family. Don't forget to bring your camping hammock as there are plenty of trees to set up for the day and gaze out at the aqua blue water. However, it you don't bring a hammock, no worries! The Nalo Cottage is stocked with beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, towels and a wagon to easily pull it the 3 minute walk to the beach.
Nalo cottage is nestled into the backyard which is really a fabulous garden. It felt like a hidden oasis to return to after long days sight seeing. Fully stocked with coffee, shampoo, towels, and kitchen gear, it really did become our second home over the 8 nights we stayed. And it was wonderful to have such kind and friendly neighbors in Terri and her Uncle Peter! Unfortunately, we didn't get to meet Hal who was on the mainland during our stay. Next time!
I was a little worried the space would be too small to have our two teenage girls (17 and 19) stay in the living room on futons, but it worked out great! there was plenty of room for them to sleep on the super comfortable fold out futons without having to pack them up everyday. We still could lounge on the couch and eat at the dinner table. It worked out perfect.
I can't imagine staying anywhere else when we return to Oahu and will even plan our next trip around the availability of the Nalo Cottage.
