Completely updated inside at romantic beachfront resort

Enhanced COVID cleaning and disinfecting procedures for every check-in.

Hanalei Colony Resort E3 - completely updated ocean view apartment in north shore Kauai's only true beachfront resort, recently voted one of Travel + Leisure's top 20 favorite resorts. Dedicated high-speed internet make it a great remote work choice. These unique Hanalei vacation rentals are just steps away from the secluded sandy beach that fronts the property!

This lovely upstairs corner condo has been completely remodeled inside and completely refurnished. It's gorgeous and upscale and comfortable, with a large shady lanai and ocean view, all about 30 seconds from the sand. 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 queen bed, and also has sliding shoji screens 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 views from each of the large picture windows. You won't mind cooking in the lovely remodeled kitchen with upscale touches like subway tile backsplash and rich wood cabinetry. The bathroom has also been completely updated and boasts similar touches of subway tile and rich wood. 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.)

In addition to Hanalei Colony Resort E3's beautiful interior and views, and the beach just in front, this Hanalei rental offers additional amenities for guests to enjoy, including swimming pool, jacuzzi, barbecue grills, and guest laundry room. Walk next door to the Opakapaka Bar and Grill or across the parking lot to the Hanalei Day Spa. Just a few 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.

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.

Lovely View
We loved the view and breeze on our lanai the most! The unit is beautiful and newly updated. The kitchen was well appointed. Unfortunately the beach breeze didn’t flow through the unit as much as we would have liked due to how the building is positioned, so it did get a bit hot and humid when we were there in early September. That was the ONLY thing we didn’t love. We recommend that you walk across the parking lot and get a massage on the beach from the Hanalei Day Spa - glorious!

The Colony is terrific. Very quiet, peaceful, and priced right. If you are looking for relaxing place this is it. If you are looking for lots of nightlife and restaurants then stay in Poipu. My family enjoyed our stay.

Comfortable and quaint
The property is comfortable with nice updates and amenities. The views are amazing, with great beach access. There is a nice spot that is safe for swimming/wading. And you can walk on the beach forever. Also has a really nice pool. Be aware that there is no TV or dishwasher. Not having a TV was actually nice, so you can focus on watching and listening to the ocean. And the wifi was surprisingly good so you can stream to your devices no problem if you want. Already recommended this location to family members who have booked a trip later this month. Proximity to Hanelei is great, never really felt the need to go anywhere else on the island.

Kauai Holiday
The condo was nice and comfortable with a great view. The beds were comfortable but it was unfortunate that the wind constantly blew screen doors on the building that weren’t latch and woke us easily with the loud bangs along with a cat that would meow outside our door. Can’t control acts of nature but if things like this bother you just a heads up. During check in getting our parking pass we were not given the warmest of welcomes at all actually seemed like we weren’t wanted there. We also had an incident of a less than warm welcome to the resort with an employee at the coffee shop. But we didn’t let that over shadow the grounds keepers and housekeepers who were great and easy to talk with. Back to within the condo we had an issue with lighting on one end of the condo with multiple bulbs flashing and the lights in the shower not working at all leaving us feeling like we were showering in a closet. We did call and leave a message because it was not an emergency and it was the weekend. However, over the 4 days we were there we never got a return call. Lastly only two sets of towel for 3 people and 4 days is kind of thin and the threat of extra cost to use more left us reusing the same towels for 4 days. Let alone the fact that there was only 1 roll of toilet paper for our use with no spares. All in all the condo its self is ok and we did enjoy ourselves we try to no let little things bother us. But I feel it would be unfair to others to not know of the short comings.

Lovely Hanalei Colony Resort condo
Overall lovely place; lovely views. It did have a few issues: ceiling lights flickering in one bedroom, and a couple wall outlets that were dead. I communicated these to the management company, and they said they would get them fixed.

Great place!
If you want to escape, this is your place. This unit, even though it’s not oceanfront, is a stone’s throw from the ocean and the lanai has a perfect view of it. This is not an all-inclusive resort and that’s exactly why we stayed there. Secluded, private, and amazing location, as close to the “end of the road” as you can get. Incredible property with a restaurant, small coffee shop and day spa just across the parking lot.

Great ocean view
The Hanalei Colony Resort is well known to me, as I have been vacationing in Ha'ena for the past 20 years. I have never stayed there until this visit, however, as we usually rent a standalone home. Our unit was comfortable and had a lovely ocean view. The kitchen was missing some basic items, such as a salad spinner and more than one cutting board, but all in all it was satisfactory. The unit was well stocked with beach gear (chairs, umbrella, etc.), but unfortunately there was no place to hang our wet bathing suits, wet suits, etc., as the property doesn't allow hanging these items on the railing of the lanai, with good reason. A foldable drying rack would be a good addition to the amenities in the unit. We enjoyed using the gas grill by the swimming pool on two occasions. All in all this is a comfortable and pleasant place to stay. It's right on the beach and there are great views.

This was a peaceful, relaxing spot where you can hear the ocean from your room, and the ocean is just steps away from your door. Perfect place to explore the Napali Coast and Hanalei Bay.

LOVED our stay!
Such a great place. As we drove around Kauai we were consistenly thrilled that we'd chosen this place. Felt like a cozy villa rather than a hotel in one of the high traffic tourist areas. Kitchen was well stocked, bed was comfortable, patio was delightful, bathroom recently renovated, gorgeous woodwork done by local craftsmen. Kauai didn't fail to disappoint in sights and adventures. One of the best vacations we've had in years.

Special property
Old school Hawaii in a fantastic location. Though not a swimming beach right out front we found a wonderful spot just around the point to the west. Great snorkeling and swimming. Very quiet area and the restaurant on site was very good. Even got a beach side massage at the Hanalei Day spa on the property. Condo was a little hot with no AC but the fans and cross breeze made it just fine. Slept great on the comfy bed. Would love to stay again in the future. Very relaxing stay

This place was fun. No television which was great. I felt like we could disconnect and just watch the waves. Bed was super comfortable and the place was clean. Wish it was better stocked with cooking oils and seasonings but other than that the kitchen was great! A bit of a drive from the hustle and bustle which was great. The pool and jacuzzi new and clean. It was great! Not too far from tunnels beach which was our favorite spot.

Nice stay in Hanalei
We loved the remoteness of this property, away from the bustle of Princeville and Hanalei. The condo is nice, a little bit smaller compared to our stay in Poipu but adequate for family of 4. The unit is rented out by Kauai Kahuna, so you don’t get to access the free shuttle provided by resort. Not a problem if you have car rental and have reservation booked one month ahead for Haena State Park. Having breakfast in balcony and walking upto the sands early in morning was special. Kids loved the salt water pool that recently reopened in early Dec2021. The resort property managers and staff were very helpful, courteous and willing to help even though unit is not managed by them. They even helped hold our luggage on last day since we didn’t want to leave it in car parked all day at Haena state park. Note, walking to Tunnels beach is possible but not practical. Drive is less than 5min. Good food and breakfast options in Hanelei and Princeville about 10-15min drive. Stay would be excellent if there were minor upgrades done to the unit such as rug/entry mat to keep sand out, a small shoe rack, a small box of sugar if someone wants to make tea/coffee. The sofa is firm and good for sleeping but the convertible bed is kinda soft. Overall we were pleased with our stay and do it again just for the the location!

Nice Condo
I would say the condo is great. The reason I gave 4 stars is because, we asked the manager in the front office a couple of questions about rentals and her words were " that's not our rental so I can't help you." The fan in the bedroom has one very low speed. And lastly this condo doesn't come with beach chairs or an umbrella.
