We really enjoyed our stay at Hale Kokio. Even though we hit a rainy spell, we really enjoyed relaxing on the patio deck and listening to the rain. My wife and I both loved the hot tub and used it frequently. We also loved the gas grill on the patio and grilled steaks frequently. The ribeyes from the Kilauea Market were really good! Overall, we had a fabulous stay, loved the quiet, laid-back area around Kilauea, and really enjoyed just relaxing in the cottage. It is nicely equipped and very comfortable (including the bed). Rob was a great host, lived near by, and was very quick to respond to any questions or needs we had.

My husband and I had a wonderful few days at Hale Kokio and only wish we could have stayed longer! We loved gathering fresh fruit from the trees on property, using the hot tub at the end of the day, and sitting on the lanai drinking coffee in the morning. The location is excellent for all activities on the North Shore. We will be back!

We had a wonderful stay at Hale Kokio and would come back in a heartbeat. The property is very private and we really enjoyed exploring and eating fruit from all the trees. There was lots of wildlife to watch from the porch or inside. Although this was our favorite aspect of the rental, it was pretty buggy inside and out. If you don't enjoy insects, geckos, or wildlife, you probably will be a bit uncomfortable here. Perfect star watching at night. The location is excellent, not too far from anywhere on the island and close to stores, farmer markets, beaches, etc. The kitchen is well stocked and there is beach equipment for use. Great value for the property as well.

What a wonderful place to stay for our 25th Anniversary trip! The property was stunning with all the different types of plants and flowers. The local chickens were polite, fun to watch, and the roosters were pleasant alarm clocks. The location was perfect for getting to the North Shore or South Shore easily and the property was very private. Rob was great to work with as we were arriving even though he was in another country. We will be back!

50th Birthday getaway

We had such an amazing stay, perfectly cozy and relaxing. The location was close enough to grocery, restaurants, & beaches, and far enough away for privacy. The kitchen was stocked with all the necessities we needed for cooking. We enjoyed breakfast & coffee on the porch. There’s also the most incredible orange tree in the yard! We had THE BEST fresh squeezed juice everyday. Such a wonderful place! Thank you!

Thank you for your perspective of Hale Kokio and the island activities in our area. This is likely helpful for those visitors to Kauai who have been searching for an alternate place to stay while the road and towns north are under repair. Information from other guests to the island are really helpful. That being said, thanks for the review of Hale Kokio and our surrounding area.
