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 Gaia Restaurant 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.

Note: host requires all guests, whether they book directly or via a third party website, to complete a rental agreement within 3 days of booking.

    Our stay was WONDERFUL. This property is perfect, away from much of civilization but 15 minutes from the lively town of Hanalei. The apartment was clean and bright and had wonderful views. We enjoyed the pool, the hot tub and relished coming back here after a day exploring the North coast. Paradise. We will be back!

    This condo was great for our family of 4 staying in the North Shore for a few days. Easy shuttle access to Haena state park, cute coffee shop and restaurant on site. Loved the north shore area.

    Everything is as advertised. Beautiful location along the beach with plenty of restraints and shopping 10-15 minute drive down the road in Hanalei. I would recommend.

    The recently remodeled unit we stayed in, was perfectly appointed and extremely comfortable. I would more than recommend this property to anyone considering staying anywhere on this side of the island!

    We had a great 4 night stay in Feb. Absolutely great view of beach from lanai and also somewhat visible from bedrooms. Well-maintained and friendly service through the host manager. A few things to know:--Agree with previous reviewer that there should be a little more flexibility in how many towel sets you can use for what you are paying.-Renting through VRBO you do not get the use of the resort shuttle. We didn't have a problem with parking anywhere, but it would have been a nice option.-Recycling is available.-There is an excellent coffee shop beside restaurant with extremely friendly owner.-If you want to hike the Kalamau trail or visit Ke'e beach in Haena state park, book a shuttle or parking well in advance. Note: The shuttle will pick you up at the resort, but you must inform 3 days in advance and provide proof of lodging. -Highly recommend a visit to Limahuli garden near state park. -Farmer's market in Princeville was great, with good food trucks and Kauai made crafts.--Recommend swimming at lifeguard beaches in winter months. Surf is rough but spectacular to watch.--Please don't use suntan products from home if swimming--they damage the coral reefs which are already having a hard time. We would return and overall great place.

    We enjoyed our stay in this unit at the Hanalei colony resort. It has amazing views to the ocean and peaks of the mountains too. You can walk on the beach in both directions depending on tides. The north island is very relaxing but you will still need reservations for the Kīlauea lighthouse and Ke’e beach so it’s not a casual as you might want. Winter is the rainy season so you will need to drive south for the sunshine you might be wanting. We stayed in January and some days were amazing and others rain all day. The unit was well equipped and had most everything you need. Note, no dryer can make packing a chore so get some quarters from the store and plan to use the laundry room on the property. It was difficult to hang dry towels and beach gear in this unit. Note: the pots and pans could use a refreshed set from Costco or similar. Would recommend for 3-4 nights of a week in Kauai during rainy season. Also if you’d like to use the resort shuttle to beaches or town then need to book via resort not VRBO.

    Great location and very chill vibe. This property is great if you are looking for a nice place that isn’t part of a big and commercialized resort. Quiet and very close to ocean. Beautiful view of ocean. Internet is very fast and I was able to work remotely and take video calls.

    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!
