My husband and I spent a week of our honeymoon (April 2008) at the Hibiscus House, and as we approach our one year anniversary, I felt compelled to thank Eleanor and her family for being such wonderful hosts. In our six nights there, we came to think of the house as our home, a place of respite after our busy days exploring and experiencing the island. The fully equipped kitchen and the beautifully appointed living area enhanced our feeling of being "home" away from home. The central location of the house was also a huge plus (we spent all our time north of Kapaa).
I cannot say enough good things about this house. The pictures do not do it justice, but you will find they accurately represent the size and features of the house. The patio and the gardens created a sense of seclusion and intimacy that no hotel could ever replicate. We truly felt we had stumbled upon a piece of paradise that was, at least for a short while, just ours. |

Hale Kokio was the perfect quiet retreat and well-located home base for us as we celebrated our tenth wedding anniversary. The location was ideal for hiking the Napali coast and visiting Hanalei, but also going to Poipu and Lihue. The bungalow/cottage was peaceful, tastefully decorated, private and felt remote, although we were conveniently less than 1/2
mile from the main road around the island. The owners had very thoughtfully equipped it with everything we needed for our stay. We felt like we had Kauai to ourselves,
but were only about 10 minutes from a big grocery store, which we visited a few times so we could prepare our own breakfasts and dinners. It was the perfect antidote to mainland stress to have Hale Kokio as our home away from home on Kauai. We will return.

| The cottage was perfect! Exactly as described on the web page and talking with the owners before arriving. It is perfectly appointed with all the items needed to enjoy your time on Kauai. The rental property owners were gracious and very informative. Simply perfect! A lot better than a resort and very private. The cottage was clean, well decorated and located in between the sites that we loved so much during our stay. |

| We had a wonderful time on our second trip to Kauai 10/15-10/29/07. It was our first time renting a cottage vs. hotel, SO much better!! Hale Kokio was a very relaxing retreat, and so private. We both were able to unwind and be totally peaceful for our entire stay something I have a very hard time doing. The geckos,windchimes and rustle of the trees will lull you into a blissful sleep. We truly believe the locals when they say that the North Shore is a magical place, we returned home with long awaited news that we were going to become parents. Our beautiful baby girl Kealia Grace was born July 2008. We can't wait to bring her to Hale Kokio and show her all the beauty and magic of Kauai. I don't know of any other place we rather be. We are missing the cottage and Kauai very much this year. Hope to return soon. Until we meet again, Aloha and Mahalo. Dawn,Josh and Kealia Grace |

We enjoyed 5 fabulous nights at this cottage. It is
private, romantic and relaxing, peaceful, and pretty. A
great location for touring the north side of the island.
We absolutely hope to stay there again someday....but
for longer next time! |

| We were fortunate enough to find this wonderful house! We were at home from the minute we stepped foot in the house. The grounds were beautiful with too many fruit trees to name, and the hot tub was perfect after a long day. The only thing we needed was more time!! |
