About this property

Steps to the sand, oceanfront views, wild & beautiful!

Hanalei Colony Resort I1 is unique among north shore Kauai condo resorts. Recently voted one of Travel + Leisure's top 20 favorite resorts, these vacation rentals are directly on the path to follow, just take a few steps and you're on the sand. And I1 is the closest building, directly on the beach. You can also take advantage of the restaurant and spa onsite, or prepare your own food in your apartment's full kitchen or on the gas grills provided. Pool, jacuzzi and barbecue are conveniently close.

This condo has a large shady lanai that puts you 10 steps from the sand. There are two bedrooms, one with a king bed and the other with two twin beds. Both bedrooms can be closed off from the shared living areas with wooden louver doors that preserve the refreshing airflow while providing visual privacy. Note that sound will still carry, so if you're streaming a late-night movie, be sure to keep the volume low. The living and dining areas are comfortably furnished and there are spectacular beach views from the large picture windows. There's a full bath and a half bath. While there are no televisions or cable television service in the complex, wifi is provided so you won't be completely cut off from the modern world. (Only as cut off as you want to be.)

In addition to Hanalei Colony Resort I1's beautiful interior and views, and the beach just in front, guests can enjoy the swimming pool, jacuzzi, barbecue grills, and guest laundry room. You can walk next door to the Opakapaka Bar and Grill. Also located just across the parking lot is the Hanalei Day Spa. Just ten minutes past the charming town of Hanalei, you'll find that shopping and dining options are conveniently close. It's the perfect Kauai vacation rental for proposals, honeymoons, anniversaries, and other romantic occasions.

While wonderfully furnished and right next to the beach, please know that the development was built in simpler times. The units are smaller and have kitchens to match. Some normal amenities will be absent given the space and purposeful attempt to honor the simplicity of earlier times: you won’t find a dishwasher or washing machine in any of the units (there is a laundry room on the premises), and most units have no televisions (though wifi is available for those of us who can't escape work or want to stream our favorite shows).

As with most homes on Kauai, this vacation rental is NOT air conditioned.

Although this home has internet, the speed and reliability cannot be guaranteed due to the remote location and the service being provided by a third-party.

Vacation in Kauai

The condo was lacking in adequate kitchenware, dishes and basic condiments (No salt or pepper shaker). The extra blankets requested were moldy and were not used. After several calls and promises, nothing was remedied. The manager eventually paid us 500 but this did not make up for the inconvenience. We would not return to this site.

Perfect remote getaway

This was a great stay for the first part of our trip! Its literally right on the water and you can hear the roar of the ocean! The place was well kept. You might bring some games, if you get bored at night easily, as there is no TV. Would definitely stay here again!

Great Getaway

If you're looking for the end of the road, this is it! We loved the location even though driving to other locations on the island were sometimes a bit time-consuming. Plenty of sun here throughout our week-long stay. Great location near the beach. Not very swimmable, but loved falling to sleep listening to the waves and watching the sunrise every day. Plenty of other beaches nearby also. The unit was very comfortable, but could use an update or two. Would definitely go back!

Clean, wild and beautiful north shore ocean front stay

Property was right on the water, close to our favorite north shore beaches for swimming, exploring and snorkeling. Very remote and quiet but for the sound of crashing waves. New pool pavillion/BBQ center is nice. Shuttle to north shore sites is an added bonus given parking can be limited. We were cozy in this clean and unit! Being able to go back and forth easily to Tunnels was amazing!

Quiet Paradise in Kauai!

We thoroughly loved and enjoyed our short stay at Hanalei Colony Resort. We were just feet from the beach, loved soaking up the great views from our lanai, and enjoyed the simple amenities of the condo. The grounds keeping was very good and there was beautiful landscaping. No fancy frills, just basic amenities to help you unplug.

Amazing!!

This place was amazing. If there is a rental closer to the beach on Kauai, I'd like to see it. It was 25 yards from the Lanai to the beach, and this rental is away from all the traffic and crowds. It is on the North Shore just minutes from the end of the road where the Napali Coast begins.

Family vacay

Our initial impression when we arrived was not great. The woman who checked us in was pleasant until she found out what unit we were staying in and that we booked it through VRBO and not the actual property. She was very short and rude. We also were not able to take advantage of the shuttle on property because we booked through VRBO. Over all this did not affect our visit but the owners should be aware of the "vibe" guests get when arriving. We stayed at the property with our 2 teenagers. The location was amazing. The unit was definitely in need of some TLC and upgrades. The bbq and pool area was very nice and new.

The perfect getaway

This was the perfect place to have our honeymoon. The location was so relaxing and farther out than any of the resorts. We enjoyed the quiet and the peace of a nearly vacant beach to great us each morning. It felt like our own little slice of paradise. If you want to be in the thick of tourist land and busy south shore this is not for you but if you enjoy the quiet and beautiful island experience and plan your excursions wisely this is perfect. The ocean was beautiful with plenty of beach to make you feel at ease and on vacation. The pool was private and beautifully maintained. Couldn’t recommend it higher for likeminded honeymooners to enjoy the north shore and the wonderful hanalei bay. The room had everything we needed. Our only issue was that the pillows likely need to be replaced. Other than that, we were more than happy and loved our stay.

We had a wonderful time being in this tranquil bonding surroundings. The boat trip to see the Na Pali Coast was out of this world. We aere astio able to make a day trip to the other side of the island and hike Waimea Canyon National Park. Note: Due to construction allow an extra 2 Hr of leeway for catching a flight. We allowed one Hr and got eaten up real quick! Cheers!!

We absolutely loved our stay. The view was spectacular, location perfect for getting away from it all, pool/hot tub perfect after a long day of hiking. Drew, Darci and coffee shop ladies were welcoming, kind and just lovely. Our only complaint is the check-in process. I didn’t access all the information from VRBO for check-in which was my fault, but the woman who checked us in was rude, misleading RE amenities available to us and really unwelcoming. She should be the last person in customer service business. If you eliminate her, our stay was 5 out of 5! We’ll b back!
