Hale Papio was a wonderful, quiet retreat for our time in Kauai. It was a nice location at the back part of the complex with a secluded deck and yard area. The house had all we needed for our getaway.

This home was gorgeous and cozy, the property was beautiful and there was all the amenities needed to enjoy our stay. We loved how close the cottage was to a trail that led to the beach. The hosts were great help when we had issues with Vrbo trying to check in. And also provided great guides for food, fun, views, and beaches on the island. A truly wonderful stay!
