"If you want a beautiful hideaway, this is it!! The grounds are wonderful, like a private park. Its quiet, relaxed and absolutely a wonderful retreat. Close to the main road yet far enough away so you never hear traffic, beaches a mile or so away and many good restaurants as well as grocery stores nearby. We liked it so much we extended our stay and will always cherish the memories of our time there. Truly a place of the “aloha spirit.”" - August 2009

We spent our 10 days for our honeymoon and enjoyed every minute of it! We felt like we had our own secluded piece of paradise even though we weren't far from any of the local shops and attractions. The cottage is very well equipped with all the necessities and is exceptionally clean/well maintained. I would highly reccomend Hale Kokio for anyone considering a trip to the North Shore.
Owner response:Hale Kokio is designed for that perfect get away feel. Thanks for bringing your Aloha to our little piece of paradise.

We really enjoyed our week at Hale Kokio. It is a beautiful property on the north end of the island away from the resorts and hectic pace of the south side. It seemed a very Hawaiian experience for us. Coconut palms, banana plants, guava, orchids and other tropical vegetation soothed and delighted our senses. And of course, we could not forget to mention the chickens. They are so much fun to watch and listen.

Special Place for Anniversary Celebration

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!
Owner response:Hale Kokio and happy guests, a perfect combination. If you are planning a stay on the magnificent north shore of Kauai, then please give us a call. Kilauea is gaining popularity as an ideal location, and Hale Kokio is truly your home away from home.

Magical retreat!

'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 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.
Recommended for:Romantic getaway.

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.
Owner response:We always appreciate comments from our guests and are so pleased to hear that Hale Kokio more than lived up to its promise. We do dedicate time to the orchids that grace the grounds, thanks for exploring and discovering them. Best wishes to the new couple. If you are planning a getaway to the magical north shore of Kauai, please contact us. We enjoy helping you with your plans for a great 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.
Owner response:We are so fortunate to continue to capture the interest of perfect guests at Hale Kokio. Every review is read and considered carefully. Thank you and please do return. We promise to continue to provide the magic care that you have described. Please bring your Aloha back to Hale Kokio again.

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.
Owner response: Thank you so much for sharing your experience at Hale Kokio. The property is designed to feature the simple beauty of Kauai. We take special care to anticipate what our guests will need when visiting and continuously update amenities provided. We hope that you will return and that new guests, searching for accommodations on the North Shore will find your comments helpful. Mahalo.

We Had A Wonderful Time

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.
Owner response: We always appreciate feedback and hearing that Hale Kokio felt like home is wonderful. Please do return for another stay, as many of our guests do. And for those of you looking for an accommodation, just give us a call and we will help you plan for a stay on Hale Kokio, your own little piece of paradise while on Kauai. Mahalo

Wonderful honeymoon location

Review Submitted: 09/28/10
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.
Owner response:Thanks so much for your very kind words about your stay at Hale Kokio We take pride in presenting the property as inviting, pretty and shining clean. The amenities are all there, integrated in to the overall experience. The Hawaiian Island charm comes through from the authentic beauty of North Shore Kauai. Many of our former guests await their next trip to Kauai, with Hale Kokio the place of choice for their stay. Come back for a return stay or plan your special Kauai get away, just call and we are happy to help.
