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.

This is a great location to get a taste for the local non-resort Hawaii. Very close to the NaPali coast trailheads. Our unit was nicely updated and very clean and well-appointed.

63-year-old male travel often the property is very nice and well-maintained but all should know that it is probably 50 to 60 years old and shows it
I know a five star property and this is not one of them, but definitely four stars and I would stay again just tempered your expectations

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

For those who are looking to spend chill time in Hanalei and Ha'ena, this is a great location. The GoHaena shuttle stops at Hanalei Colony Resort, which reduces transit time each day. The unit has everything you need to relax on the North shore - highly recommend!
