My husband and I had a great time staying here. We enjoyed how private it was. We loved sitting outside and watching the chickens roam around. Great location! The only feedback I have is the cleaning could have used a little bit more attention, but overall it was a great place to stay!

We loved Hale Kokio! It is tucked away in a quiet, beautiful neighborhood. We enjoyed breakfasts on the private back porch and our host was SO hospitable and easy to communicate with. He even brought us fresh coffee to welcome us on our first day. We had the loveliest time in Kauai and remember this cottage fondly :) If you are considering booking this VRBO... do it! One thing to note is that there are quite a few chickens around-- if you are not an early riser, you might be surprised by nature's alarm clock!

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!

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 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.

The property and location are lovely but the house is quite run down, especially compared to the posted photos, and not clean. We booked for 10 days and left after 7.

Hale Kokio Stay

One of our new favorite places to stay! We had such a great trip and loved coming back to the cottage at the end of the day to soak in the hot tub and get a good nights sleep. Really peaceful setting with lots of trees and greenery for privacy and amenities to make for a really comfortable stay. Would love to come back and stay again someday!
