You'll have the entire condo to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

You can't get any closer to the beach than this!

Our Haena vacation rentals at the Hanalei Colony Resort are mere steps from the beach. These highly desirable north shore Kauai rentals offer spectacular and unspoiled ocean scenery with incredible whitewater views from your private lanai. Hanalei Colony Resort J3 takes full advantage of the trade winds, and the large shady lanai also helps keep it cool inside. If the trade winds die down, multiple high-speed fans provide plenty of breeze as well. And because this unit has a convenient desk area (facing one of the picture windows with its spectacular oceanfront views), it is also perfect for those who need to mix a little work with their wave-watching! If you want to get out and enjoy a walk along the beach, you can walk all the way along the beach for literally hours before reaching the “end of the road” at Kee Beach – a walk that will take you past world-famous Tunnels Beach as well.

Recently voted one of Travel + Leisure's top 20 favorite resorts, Hanalei Colony Resort is perfect for a romantic couple's there's also plenty of room for you to bring the kids. The master bedroom is furnished with a king bed, and can be closed off from the living area with sliding shoji-style doors. The shoji doors' slatted construction provide visual privacy while still allowing air flow so you'll sleep cool at night. The second bedroom has a twin day bed. If you're not using it as sleeping space, it makes a perfect office, or comfy additional hang-out space. The second bedroom also can be closed off from the living area with sliding louver doors. Note that sound will still carry, so if you're streaming a late-night movie, be sure to keep the volume low. You'll find a comfortably furnished living room, with another sleeper sofa, and a dining area that can seat 5 people. The full kitchen is equipped with everything you need to prepare simple meals at you can enjoy on the lanai while listening to the sound of the waves!

Enjoy the resort amenities including swimming pool, jacuzzi, barbecue grills, and guest laundry room. Please note that as a guest in a privately managed unit, you won't be able to ride 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.

Incredible view, dated property
The units are comfortable and dated. Our unit was clean and also difficult to see out windows due to humidity, and salt build up (which I imagine is difficult to combat due to location). We enjoyed our stay but would be unlikely to return to this location.

Off the grid
A stunningly beautiful spot right on the beach. Woke up to the most amazing sunrises each morning. Walked for miles along the shore each day..this is a place that is simple and quite breathtaking. The accomodation had really patchy wifi, no tv, no aircon and no dishwasher but none of that mattered because it was such an opportunity to unplug and just watch the beauty around you. Beds were comfortable, place was spotless and the restaurant on the property was fabulous. Hosts were wonderfully responsive and we had a fantastic few days.

Quick Getaway
I stay on the north shore once a year. This was a wonderful location I haven't tried before but really enjoyed. Access to the beach was wonderful. The Kalalau trail is my favorite and very nearby. And the restaurant/bar is great for no necessary designated driver! Ha! The team was very easy to communicate with and the space was great!

It is advertised as 2 bedroom 2 bath. The reality is that it is 1 bedroom with a queen bed and another room with a pull out sofa plus 1 1/2 baths. Otherwise the second floor condo has a beautiful view of the ocean, it is quite a walk from the parking lot to the condo but they do have wagons to use to move you stuff from the car to the unit. the condo was well equipped with kitchen items and boogie boards. The pool area beautiful!

The frying pans are old and unhealthy ( old scratched Teflon). Please replace them. There is no cutting board but I didn't use your bar top for one. Only choice was the tile ( will dull the knives).The front right burner does not work. The king bed was comfortable and the location lovely for sitting on the deck. If this was my property, I'd clean the mold off the deck and repaint it:) please be aware that the bathroom light in the small bathroom shines in the eyes of sleeping guests across the yard!! They told us:) So tell others to keep it off when they aren't using it.

Cozy little place. It’s a bit dated but doesn’t matter as its well equipped and has amazing ocean front location. Everything you need but no TV which was actually cool as we preferred to watch the ocean anyway!

Got hit with an unexpected charge after checkout
Overall, the property and location were wonderful, although some of the furnishings were old and a bit dingy. My friend and I took very good care to leave the property as we found it, but were hit with a charge for a stained sheet after checking out. Not only was this done without prior notification, but we did not leave stains on anything we used during our stay. This leaves a very bad taste in my mouth, especially after the ultra high cleaning fees attached to my stay. I intend to dispute the charge and will hesitate to rent from this property owner in the future.

Gorgeous views of ocean
It was perfect for my adult son and his friends. There were four boogie boards left on balcony as well as snorkel gear, masks and a small cooler. It had everything they needed to enjoy a wonderful vacation. It is close to haena and tunnels beaches and they really enjoyed Lumaha’i beach where the river and ocean meet. They enjoyed jumping off the bridge and rope swings into the river. At this beach. The condo had everything they needed.
