North Shore - Valley Rim View Apartment Hideaway!
Year Purchased: 1997
Why the Owner Chose Kilauea
We love Kilauea. We have called it home for 30 years. It is located on the beautiful North Shore, yet not so far away from the other parts of the island that it feels restrictive. We love it's small town, rural atmosphere.
The Unique Benefits at this Apartment
Many of our guests have commented that they felt like they were at home, away from home. They especially love the view, which seems to change often with the time of day and weather. It is something we still enjoy after all these years. And of course, we love the North Shore beaches, beaches and more beaches. It's pretty hard to beat.

Aloha from Karen and Conrad!
We have been living on Kaua‘i for 35 years and feel very fortunate to call it home. We have explored just about every beach, most hiking trails and many of the available activities. It would be our pleasure to share our experiences that may help make your stay a more rewarding experience.

We highly recommend staying here and look forward to returning. The lack of a full kitchen is no issue. Very clean and nice amenities. The outdoor shower is phenomenal! Enjoyed the sunrises and landscaping. And our hostess Karen was great.

Hale O Kuawa was even more beautiful and immaculate than we expected from the description and photos. We were on Kauai for a wedding and to celebrate our 44th wedding anniversary. We enjoyed the beauty and tranquility of our one-bedroom "home away from home" so much, we ended up spending a lot more time there than we had planned. A special touch was the fresh fragrant Plumeria, Bird of Paradise and Tahitian Ginger flowers placed in the rooms. Our favorite thing was the big, roomy, cutely decorated, warm, outdoor shower. Karen and Conrad were great hosts and fun to talk with. We highly recommend Hale O Kuawa!

Thanks so much to Karen and Conrad for a swell first visit to Kauai! We had never been to this gogeous island before and somehow lucked out with four sunny days! The apartment is wonderful, lots of room and comfort, but nothing beats the view off the lanai...it feels like the edge of the earth, and you are surrounded by gorgeous lush foliage! Karen was super helpful, the apartment was accurately described, the rate more than fair, and the extra amenities excellent. They provided everything you might need for a Kauai adventure and more! Be sure to step out at night and catch a huge whiff of their flowering fragrant bush and watch all the many bright stars...the combo was unbelievable! We'll be back!

Choosing the right place to stay while we were on our first vacation together in Kauai was difficult, but it won't be next time, because we know exactly where we'll be staying and that's at Hale 'O Kuawa! The beautiful property is in a great location on our favorite part of the island, the apartment is very clean and comfy and Conrad and Karen were so friendly, offering and accommodating everything we could possibly need or want while staying there. They were very knowledgeable and helpful with tips and info. on where to go and what to do. They went above and beyond our expectations and really made our trip so much more enjoyable. Visits from Pie the Cat while sitting on the patio overlooking the gorgeous view were great! Thank you Conrad and Karen for making our visit to your home a relaxing and unforgettable one! We hope to return soon!

Our family has traveled to Kauai four times in the past 12 years. We have always stayed at the Schmidt's beautiful place. The location is amazing. The beach is minutes away. We love the feel of being in a neighborhood. You feel like you are in the jungle with the mango trees outside the apartment. The view is breathtaking. Their place has everything you need. We prepare almost all of our meals using the appliances they have furnished and the gas grill. We take all of our showers in the outside shower. We think of this place as our second home. We would come here every year if we could. We not only miss the island of Kauai but also this special place the Schmidts have shared with us.

Karen and Conrad were awesome hosts. I had all the comforts of home without any of the other stuff that goes along with that :) The apartment was lovely and had EVERYTHING anyone could ever need. the library is wonderful. They made my stay MORE than convenient/comfortable (walking sticks, outdoor sink, even butcher paper to cover the tables for my artwork) and the coffee was wonderful. I *would* refer others but we don't want this secret to get out in case I can't get booked back in. :) j/k

I want to start off by thanking Conrad and Karen again for our great stay in Kilauea. Their property is ridiculously beautiful with perfectly manicured grounds. The unit was spacious and extremely clean. It was well stocked with all the "extras" ie. Condiments in the fridge, beach towels, coolers and gear. Even sunburn spray.... All the things you would hate to buy for a short stay. I also wanted to mention the wonderful job they do as hosts. Their knowledge of the island will definitely come in handy. It was a perfect combination of privacy and on-hand local knowledge. Karen has prepared a "owners manual" for Kauai, amazing detail from places to eat, shop, swim, snorkel, etc. Kilauea is great little town, that has a convenient northern location. If I am lucky enough to be able to return.... I would definitely stay here again and recommend to all. Mahalo,
