Incredible Ocean Views Just Steps From the Sand! Secluded, Laidback 2BR Condo

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 Gaiai restaurant. 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.

Hawaii Vacation Rental Identification Number TA-156-595-4048-01.

The views at this condo were unbeatable! Definitely less hospitable/comfortable than some other options (uncomfortable furniture, limited kitchen, poor wifi & no tv), but the location and facility are great. The pool area was lovely and had gas grills that were convenient for evening meals. The coffee shop onsite was great as well. Unfortunately the restaurant was closed for renovations which we weren't aware of. The town isn't too far but definitely a 15 minute drive to any restaurant or groceries! This resort is way closer to the trailhead and tunnels beach than the main Princeville area which was great for the activities we were interested in.

The property is lovely - right on the ocean. It is nicely decorated and clean. Some things definitely show some weathering - as is expected when so exposed to the elements. The Resort is lovely too. The pool area was very nice. I would definitely stay there again if I were to return to Kauai.

Feet from the ocean and it feels so good!

The unit was really just feet from the ocean. The unit was as promised, lots of space to spread out , there were only two of us but there would be lots of room for four. The bed was comfy and the ocean breeze cooled us off in the evening. The kitchen was big. We didn't use any of the resort facilities like the pool. There was a beach chair and umbrella and cooler of for use. It was very breezy when we were the end of May so we weren't able to sit on the deck as much as we had hoped. If you have a reservation on the shuttle that takes you to the state park they will pick you up at the resort and that was great especially at the end of the day.he We didn't have a great experience at the onsite restaurant, maybe just a bad night for them. Only issue was the property manager not responding in a timely to our concern of the smoke detector randomly beeping one evening which lead to the battery dying a few days later and the smoke detector blaring while we were out. I felt bad for the people around us cause it was very loud!

The perfect place to unwind!

Imagine the sound of the waves just outside your window and constant trade winds blowing. A rustic beach almost all to yourself, quiet neighbors (there’s a 10pm quiet code), beautiful pool, delicious restaurant, cute coffee/gift shop, and above all an open, airy condo simply, but comfortably appointed. If there’s a downside, it’s the driving distance to attractions, but being almost at the end of the line—there are seven one-lane bridges between the condo and the nearest town!—truly allows one to unplug, breathe, and relax. A plus to the owner for quickly responding to our inquiries prior to and during our stay. Definitely recommend!

Just what we needed

Hanalei Colony Resort is like a step back in time. Its not fancy but all you need. The location cant be beat and we love the lush scenery and old Hawaii vibe of Hanalei. Sounds of the ocean as you sleep and a touch of tropical rain almost every day. Restaurant on site is worn but food was good and service great! Get the poke nachos! Best Mai Tai on the island!

Quiet and relaxing

Our stay got off to a rough start because the cleaners had not come after the previous guests left. It was Easter Sunday and on one was available to come. Luckily, the rental company had an available unit for us to spend the night in. The cleaning delay meant that we were not able to get into our unit until late morning the next day when we could finally unpack and begin our holiday. The unit is well lived in but clean and well located. The overall property is very north shore; beautiful and relaxed. The bbq / pool area is great. Overall very happy with our stay.

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.

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!
