About this property

Right ON the beach, sleep to the sound of the surf!

Enjoy beachfront views AND stunning mountain views from this charming upstairs apartment. Recently voted one of Travel + Leisure's top 20 favorite resorts, these unique Hanalei vacation rentals at Hanalei Colony Resort are just steps away from the secluded sandy beach that fronts the property! The Hanalei Day Spa is across the parking lot if you're looking to pamper yourself. Restaurant and coffee shop/gallery are also onsite. Just 15 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. Sleeps 4 (maximum of 3 adults + 1 child).

This upstairs corner condo has a both oceanfront and mountain views and it takes just moments to walk downstairs and onto the sand. You'll enjoy the large shady lanai and peaceful sounds of the surf. There is one bedroom, furnished with a king bed. For privacy, it can be closed off from the rest of the unit with sliding shoji screens which still allow air flow to keep you cool at night. A second bedroom is furnished with a day bed, giving you the option to sleep an additional person, plus a futon mat in the closet, perfect if your party includes a child. You can use the room as a home office if it's a working vacation, a desk an comfortable chair are included - the free internet makes it easy. (This apartment has its own dedicated high-speed wifi service, better for zoom meetings or streaming your favorite programs in the evening when the complex wifi is slowed by heavy usage.) The second bedroom has folding louver doors for 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 dramatic ocean and mountain views from each of the large picture windows. You won't mind cooking in the efficient, open kitchen which has everything you need to prepare simple home-cooked meals or serve up your take-out with style. While there are no televisions in the apartments, wifi is provided so you won't be completely cut off from the modern world. (Only as cut off as you wish to be.) Hanalei Colony Resort H4 is uniquely well situated to let you enjoy views of Wainiha Bay, the Kauai coastline, open water, or majestic mountains dotted with waterfalls.

As a guest at a privately managed unit in the resort, you are invited to make full use of all of the facilities such as swimming pool, jacuzzi, barbecue area, and guest laundry room. Certain services provided by the resort staff are not available to private renters, such as the towel exchange window, and the resort shuttle.

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.

This is an upstairs condo so you need to be able to go up and down stairs. There are no elevators.

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.

Words don't do it justice...
If you love crowds, being catered to, loads of screaming kids and tourists, this is not your place. If you crave a slice of local living in a serene, parred down environment with breathtaking views, this will be your jam. Tucked out of the way and secluded at the tip top of the island, you'll feel like part of the North Shore community within days of your arrival. We simply didn't want to leave. Be prepared to do a bit of driving in order to get to certain activities on the island, but it's worth it. We're already planning our next stay...

Cockroaches
Overall the property was nice and close to the ocean. Our unit did have a bad issue with cockroaches. We found them in the kitchen, bathroom and ceiling. We had to throw out a lot of food before we saw them as they had gotten into our food. We killed more than a dozen a day but they kept coming. In the end the manager did send pest control but it was too late for us as they came after we already had left for the airport.

Comfortable condo on beautiful north shore
The condo is tastefully appointed with a comfortable bed, lovely lanai with an ocean view, and all the amenities we were looking for. The secluded location and natural beauty of the resort property are 5-star. We especially appreciated the quiet of the location away from the parking lot and the street.

Excellent Oceanfront Location
HCR offers an excellent oceanfront location for visitors looking for a stay off the beaten path. The area is quiet, semi-secluded and a short drive to the charming town of Hanalei. However, the unit itself is not a true One Bedroom. This is due to the lack of floor to ceiling walls. Because of this, the unit does not offer much privacy for members of the same party staying in the same unit.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Enjoyed the location and opportunity to be right by the beach and Ha'ena Park.

Where I want to be when the world ends
Sounds a bit fatalistic doesn’t it? I have never felt such peace and joy and calm as I did in this sweet condo. The ocean was steps away and lulled me to sleep each night and greeted me in the morning. Sunrises were indescribable. The condo is on the second floor of a four plex and has everything you need. We sat on the lanai and just stared at the magnificent ocean, then turned our heads and stared at the majestic Nepali mountain range. We fixed our own meals nightly - which was a good thing since you’re pretty much at the end of the island. The kitchen was small and dated but served our needs perfectly. The grounds and pool were impeccably maintained. We’ll be coming back every year.

Wonderful place on the North Shore
Our stay here was fantastic. The location is beautiful and you fall asleep to the sound of the waves every night. Beautiful beach right out front and close to Tunnels, Haena Beach Park and 15 min from Hanalei. We loved staying out here instead of up in Princeville. The pool was great and local coffee shop and restaurant made it very easy.

A Slice of Paradise
We were so pleased overall with our stay. The property management was polite and responsive. The ocean view was divine! We particularly enjoyed the pool facilities and Lomi Lomi massages at the day spa on site. Glad we stayed here, near the end of the North Shore road where it was more remote & peaceful. The concierge service was a huge plus in helping set up excellent activities for our family. Will definitely stay here again next time in Kauai. Mahalo!

Perfect Secluded Location
My partner and I enjoyed every second of our stay at Hanalei Colony Resort. The units are minimalist but clean, the grounds are beautifully maintained and the pool/laundry/grill area is stunning (recently remodeled). The location can’t be beat - steps to the beach, away from the hustle and bustle and right next door to a restaurant/bar (Opakapaka) and a coffee shop. At times, we had the beach to ourselves. Hanalei is 10 minutes away as well. We will be back year after year!

I could stay here forever
Even better than we expected. We loved the chill vibe of this small resort. It was so peaceful. Loved hearing the ocean all night and watching the sunrise from the beach or balcony. Our condo was bigger and nicer than expected- perfect for myself, my husband and our son. Jeanne the concierge was incredible helpful, too. This secluded part of the north shore is heaven. Only thing I wouldn’t recommend is the on-site restaurant- much better options in Hanalei or the kitchen is well-stocked for cooking for yourself.
