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 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 hadul 5, 2026. We are so happy for your feedback. It was our pleasure taking care of you. Please return soon. Rob and Eleanor

In the twenty years we've been visiting Kauai, this was by far the most relaxing vacation we've ever experienced on the island. What stood out most:Total privacy The outdoor shower and hot tub was a nice treat after long hikesThe house is clean and well equipped (we enjoyed the rice cooker)The location is perfect. Close to several beaches including rock quarry beach. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The host was responsive and super helpful! We will be returning.
This was the perfect location and perfect cottage for our wedding trip! The grounds were beautiful, the location was in between a ton of beaches and close to the town of Kilauea. We absolutely loves the time we spent there.

We loved this place! The house is very private, with a huge yard. You really have the place to yourself. The jacuzzi was spotless and worked great. The AC and all appliances worked great too. The place was spotless. The large patio worked great for morning breakfasts. The bed was comfy too. The neighborhood and surrounding area is stunning. We hope to stay again sometime.

Birthday Getaway
Lorna H Mar 2025
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
5/5 Subline 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 view 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 shut off 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.
5/5 EXCELLENT!

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

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).
5/5 Amazing Honeymoon Spot!
JEREMIAH P May 2024
Place is very well taken care of, and it’s completely secluded!
We loved it and couldn’t think of a better place to spend our honeymoon.

JOSE N. May 2024
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.
