Special Place for Anniversary Celebration
Submitted: June 7, 2011
Stayed: May 2011
Not sure how we chose Hale Kokio for our 20th wedding anniversary stay, but it was a perfect match for us. The place looked and felt like the pictures depicted. It had a very serene setting with an immaculate home, and well groomed grounds. We felt like we were the only ones there, with the exception of a couple of roosters. The hot tub was a welcomed feature especially after hikes and to relax. We appreciated all the modern appliances that we used for cooking and grilling fresh fish. We loved where the location of cottage is in the Kilauea area which sits conveniently between Hanalei and Kapa'a. We frequented the convenient bakery, deli, and restaurants in Kilauea. We also enjoyed the brief encounters with neighbor/caregivers of the property at the local farmer's market and restaurant. It was nice to know they were nearby if we needed anything but otherwise did not see or hear them during our stay. I definitely would visit again and recommend to friends and family. Mahalo for the hospitality!

Magical retreat!
Submitted: June 1, 2011
Stayed: May 2011
'Magical' absolutely describes Hale Kokio. Tucked away in a lush private setting, this sweet cottage was the perfect slice of island life. Our time in the cottage was sandwiched between stays at large hotels on the island so the cottage was a huge contrast. And before arriving at the cottage, I guessed that we would take those few days and be out and about exploring. I have to tell you that we loved the life at the cottage so much we hardly left. We would go to Kilauea Bakery for breakfast, hike down to Secret Beach for a couple of hours, stop at the market for food and go back to the cottage for the rest of the day. We loved reading and dozing on the porch, soaking in the hot tub, barbecuing supper or an early dinner at the great choice of local restaurants and then back into the hot tub! Hale Kokio with all its amenities is everything one would wish for in an island retreat.

Owner's Response: Wow, you did live the life! Most of all you found the design of Hale Kokio to be just what we imagine for our guests: an inviting retreat. What an endorsement, to show that Hale Kokio inspired you to relax and enjoy Kauai.
We hope you will return to Hale Kokio someday. Seems that for you it is "home away from home." Aloha.

Cozy, peaceful and beautiful with all the extras you need!

My (now) husband stayed at Hale Kokio for two glorious weeks. It was amazing! It had everything we needed to cook (without a dishwasher, but we made due without) including a gas stove/oven and a gas grill for outdoor grilling. The bed was very comfy, and the bedding was nice and light for the weather. Great air circulation with the open windows and the fans.
Let me take a moment to talk about the absolutely GORGEOUS grounds at Hale Kokio. You are on two private acres, only to be shared with the chickens that inhabit the place. They will wake you up promptly at 5:45 am. There are coconuts, passion fruits, bananas, and every kind of native flower you could ask for. Plumeria, hibiscus, bird of paradise, orchid (I loved how they just cling on to the other trees!). If you stay, make a morning of searching the grounds.. there are many surprises. Bring your camera!
It is easy to find, and conveniently located. The north coast is very laid back, "old Hawaii", which is what we were looking for. Just 20 minutes from everything you need in Kapa'a, and 10 minutes from great shops and beaches in Princeville. You will enjoy your stay.

We stayed here for four nights and found the place to be even better than the pictures. It was nice to see fresh cut flowers waiting when we arrived and fruit from the grounds. Thanks for taking such good care of your place without even seeing us. It was like magic. We zoom in and everything was prepared for us.

We stayed 11 nights recently and could not have loved this place more. This was our 4th visit to Kauai and this cottage was ideally located and had all the amenities and more than you could ask for. Anyone wanting peace and quiet, natural beauty and all the fruit you can pick should choose this rental.

We Had A Wonderful Time
Submitted: December 17, 2010
Stayed: November 2010
We had a wonderful time! What a beautiful place! We very much enjoyed
the immaculately clean and tastefully furnished cottage, the beautiful grounds and perfect privacy. We did a lot of snorkeling, hiking and "staying at home". It could not have been any better. For those interested in birds, we also enjoyed seeing some fellow Alaskans vacationing in the garden: golden plovers that had made their way here on their own wings. There was also a pair of white-rumped shamas, not native to the Hawaiian islands but lovely birds to watch. We would love to come back.

Wonderful honeymoon location
Submitted: September 28, 2010
Stayed: August 2010
We stayed here for our 10-day honeymoon in August, 2010, and we could not have picked a better location. Hale Kokio is in a very quiet, secluded spot in the NE corner of the island. We would sometimes sit in the lawn chairs out in on the property and just marvel at the silence. We would not hear anything except the breeze in the trees and the birds.
Hale Kokio is as central a location as you can get without being in a crowded area. We could go west and explore the north coast, or south and explore the east and south coasts. When we were looking for places to stay, we had no idea about the designated "resort areas", and really lucked out to end up here. When we were out touring the island and found the condos+resorts all packed into the SE corner of Kauai, with families running around with screaming kids, it reminded me of Florida and I could not wait to get back "home" to Hale Kokio.
There was a covered deck in the back (where the hot tub is located) and a dinette set where we ate breakfast every morning or relaxed if it was raining.
The owners of Hale Kokio had quite a bit of equipment ready for us. Snorkel gear, lawn chairs, beach towels, coolers, linens, condiments, etc. The internet worked perfectly and was invaluable in planning each day's adventure. There were many books, dvds and cds, though we did not make use of them, too busy seeing the island! A clothes washer/dryer was supplied (with detergent), which was handy for cleaning a favorite outfit.
Hale Kokio was immaculately cleaned inside. The property (yard) well well cared for with dozens of interesting species of fruit and nut trees growing in it.
There were a handful of good restaurants in nearby Kilauea and many more in Kapaa, about a 15 minute drive south.
The owners had one of the nearby houses, and gave us exactly the customer service we wanted: To be left alone. They left contact numbers, but we just did not need anything.
I would most definitely recommend Hale Kokio to anyone wanting a quiet Kauai vacation and if I were returning to Kauai, I would want to stay there again.

This was the perfect place to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. We were looking for something other than a hotel/suite experience and this exceeded our expectations. I would recommend Hale Kokio to anyone who is looking for a retreat away from the busy business world. The description accurately reflects the property. If you are looking for North Island adventure, this is the place to unwind after your busy day. The hottub and a glass of wine on the veranda is calling us back in the future.
