Wonderful Cottage

This was our second stay here. We honeymooned at this magical cottage 7 years ago. We absolutely love it! Our favorite feature is the large private deck with a hot tub. We also enjoyed walking the grounds and picking fresh fruit.

Hale Kokio No Ka 'oi

This property is heavenly with fruit trees, flowers, palms and lots of friendly chickens. It's a great location that's quiet and private, yet a short distance to Kilauea, Hanalei and beautiful beaches. Our host Rob was helpful but not the least bit intrusive. The Hale is clean, airy and bright with a well-equipped kitchen and a lovely lanai. Perfect for a couple or single person.

Peaceful retreat

We had a great stay. The private garden/park around the cottage exceeded expectations. The cottage was clean and well stocked. We appreciated having beach chairs and beach towels. It’s nice to be away from the tourist crowds but a very short drive from restaurants in Kilauea and fantastic beaches. Bring some earplugs because the roosters will crow around the clock (but I don’t think you can avoid that anywhere in Kauai).

Privacy in paradise for 2

Very clean, cozy cottage in a quiet neighborhood, close to nice shops and eateries. Well appointed and thoughtfully laid out. Great place to decompress after being inundated with tourists everywhere all day. More authentic Hawaiian experience being surrounded by 2 acres of lush gardens and fruit trees. We much prefer to be woken by the roosters crow and listen to the sounds of the rain and birds, etc. on the property, instead of resort accommodations.

Sublime Stay

The house nestled amongst tropical plants in a grassy yard, and that is surrounded by trees. It gives the feeling of seclusion and, for someone who was visiting for the first time, a veiw of the flora and fauna from the comforts of a deck or window. We were too caught up in enjoying the ambience to even jump in the hottub. Each night we would shutoff the lights and listen to the quiet chirping of the geckos. As we drifted off to sleep. Each morning the master bed was bathed in the golden light of the rising sun. Gentle rain would patter through the leaves and on the roof for a few minutes. It is a very relaxing environment, from walking the property with a cup of coffee and personable chickens, to listening to the evening breeze through the trees. It was a very refreshing stay and we are very grateful for the hospitality.

Best Vacation ever!

The house, location and property are perfect way to celebrate my 60th birthday! The house is beautiful and very private, walk to the yard and get some fruit off the tree. My wife made friends with the chickens that are everywhere on Kauai. Talked with the neighbor Rob almost every day. Thinking about going back soon!

The home and property are beautiful. The cottage has windows all around bringing in the wind, sound of rain, bird song and all the rooster friends. Sitting on the lanai and soaking in the hot tub was lovely. We look forward to returning! Maholo and Aloha

Lovely Location

There is a lot of greenery surrounding this little cottage. And a lot of chickens and roosters. They start crowing around 3 AM and continue through the day. Despite that, we slept through most of their singing. The cottage has a deck with a table where you can eat or relax too. It rained a lot when we were there off season. But it was still possible to get out and find things to do around that area when there were breaks in the weather. We enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful Property

My wife and I had a fantastic time and loved our stay at Hale Kokio. The property is absolutely beautiful, quiet and private. We were quite busy everyday but enjoyed our time to relax there in the morning for coffee and breakfast and dinners we cooked at night. All that said there are a few things we feel could be refreshed as far as amenities in the house itself. All the bath towels are a bit old, could use some new ones. We cook a lot and feel some of the kitchen items could be updated to make closer to "well appointed". The light sting out on the covered deck have a section that doesn't work, etc. We feel these are easy things to update and would elevate this gorgeous property even more. Eleanor was a pleasure to deal with, prompt to respond to questions and very courteous. Overall we enjoyed our stay. Definitely a memorable vacation.

A garden cottage

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this well-maintained cottage situated on an acre and a half of a tropical garden. The interior was very comfortable and clean. The owner lived nearby, and was always willing to help make her stay more comfortable. We will certainly consider this cottage again for a future visit.

Stellar honeymoon spot!

My wife and I stayed here 11 days for our honeymoon and had an AMAZING experience! We felt like we were in the Garden of Eden as we walked around the property initially––there were so many different kinds of fruit growing! It's the perfect size for two, and WAY better than a hotel or resort. We saved a lot of money by mostly cooking our own food and eating it out on the lovely lanai. Here are some things to consider if you're thinking about staying here: It's in a great location too, just 20 minutes from Hanalei (the tourist hub of the north shore). The nearest town is Kilauea, which is way less touristy, which we enjoyed. The chickens are loud and will wake all but the heaviest sleepers up in the morning, but we didn't mind so much since it made the jet lag going back home not as bad. The loft has a couple air mattresses, so theoretically more than 2 could stay here, but it might be a tight squeeze. It is a true bungalow––kitchen, bed, and couch are all in the same room. The TV is very small and can only be viewed from the couch. It's only a minor inconvenience, but if you like to watch TV on your vacations, then this probably isn't the place for you (nor is Kauai in general, for that matter 😂). The exterior color on the house is not as vibrant as the pictures make it seem, but the view of the lush vegetation and sunset colors make any house's colors pale in comparison. All in all, GREAT experience and would absolutely use this spot again.

Awesome rental!

We absolutely loved Hale Kokio! The cottage is very special and the grounds are amazing. We primarily cooked our meals during our week stay. The kitchen had everything we needed. The lanai overlooking the beautiful property was our preferred spot for breakfast and dinner (we were usually off enjoying the area at lunch time). We slept great on the comfortable bed and didn't have any need for the air conditioner. We just opened the windows and let the cool breezes blow through. The location was great with an easy drive to many great beaches. Our personal favorite was Secret Beach. Hale Kokio is a very unique and special place to stay on Kauai!

Sweet Kilauea Cottage

An exceptionally charming and very private cottage. It was memorable and a complete magical oasis for us during our stay. The location of nearby Kīlauea is perfect. It is one of our favorite spots on Kauai. We loved all the local neighborhood farm stands that were stocked with fresh fruits, herbs, and flowers. Room for improvement: could use a little more attention to detail when it comes to cleaning. The hot tub takes a really long time to heat up so you need to set to the temp you want earlier in the day if you want to use it at night. Minimally stocked (no salt/pepper, seasonings, olive oil, etc) so bring what you need to cook your meals. Very reasonable price wise for a rental on the north shore. Overall, very fulfilling and beyond beautiful! Thank you

Staying here was like a dream! Everything was well thought out and comfortable. We enjoyed everything so much on the property and we felt like we had privacy. The cottage was beautiful on the inside and we loved all the thought put into the detail. The spa was very clean and soothing after a long day out on the island.
