True Beachfront Romance in Quiet Intimate Location - Perfect for Honeymoons!

Beautiful property right on the water and about 2 miles to tunnels beach and 3 miles to downtown Hanalei bay. Super peaceful and open with a good restaurant and coffee shop nearby. Pool and hot tub were fab! Would give it 5 stars except the communication during the stay wasn’t great, the outdoor furniture was damaged, and the fire alarm was broken.

The place had a sewer gas smell during our trip. There was some beach chairs that where junk and should be thrown away!

Beautiful property in a fantastic location on the north shore of Kaua‘i.

We felt the unit was in need of repair. The sliding glass door screens were stuck. The silverware drawer was dismantled and had to be removed to access silverware.. Also, because this was rented from the renter, some of the privilege's, such as access to the shuttle service, were not available. The beech was within 100 yards and that was nice.

I really enjoyed my stay at Hanalei Colony Resort, Unit C2. The location is perfectly situated right next to Kepuhi Beach and about a 30-minute walk to Tunnels Beach, which made it easy to enjoy the north shore at a relaxed pace.The café on the property was incredibly convenient for my daily matcha and bagels in the morning. While I didn’t have the chance to book a massage next door, I loved how close and accessible it was—both the café and massage studio are separately owned, which is nice to know.The unit itself was very clean and well organized. While it is on the older side, I found that part of its charm—it felt cozy and authentic rather than outdated. Management was friendly, helpful, and easy to communicate with throughout my stay.Having a laundry area and a water filter onsite was an added bonus and made the stay even more comfortable. Overall, this was a great experience, and I would absolutely stay here again.

Quiet, quaint complex. Very relaxing.

Nice facility with a great ocean view.

We absolutely loved our stay. We’ve been to several of the islands and love our time away from the resorts and being more in the heart of Hawaii life. This location was absolutely perfect we felt like we were in our own little world and it had the perfect ocean breeze keeping us cool at night.

This property is pretty much located at the end of the line! As far into norther Kauai as you can go! Rugged and beautiful, very unique compared with our last stay in Poipu. It was an amazing locale for our 16th wedding anniversary and our turning 40 trip! We did do a fair bit of driving given the locations remoteness but given that it was us without kids this time, it wasn’t an issue, plus we had a lot of the island that we wanted to tour anyhow! Overall great experience. The “no A/C” was not an issue at all, fans and open shutters kept the temperature very comfortable with a cross breeze coming in from the ocean. The bed was comfortable, the unit was clean and minimalist, footsteps from the beach/ocean (not very swimmable here due to aggressive surf and reef/rocks). Amazing swimmable beaches were all within a 5-20 min drive though and this didn’t detract from our experience as it was part of the adventure.

We made use of the complex grill when the power went out for 24 hours. Thankfully there was some foil provided in the rental, along with oil, salt, pepper, and a few more condiments to grill our fresh fish. The kitchen had everything we needed. One minor issue was taken care of pronto, the other minor issue ( bathroom sink related) has not yet been resolved but did not inconvenience us. The property is lovely, the space was welcoming and comfortable. I appreciated the few games and books available. We had a great time here, hopefully we can come back one day.

Great location on the North shore, close to Tunnels beach. Beautiful view of the sunrise from the lanai. Nice to have the restaurant on site for a quick bite if needed. A little dated but everything else definitely makes up for it. Would come back again for sure.

We loved the location. The beach access is amazing as well as the calm and less resorty and natural feel. Highly recommend!

Perfect in every regard

The unit and the property were both perfect! Staff were great too, as we were all dealing with some effects of a winter storm. We are going back as a family in the summer I liked it there so much!

There were some snacks on arrival, which was nice. The pool and hot tub are nice, and laundry is in that building (but we did have someone take our clothes out and use our washer, and management just kinda said “that stinks.”). It’s coin operated only and there’s no change machine.The condo was dated, and people tried to dress it up with some new bedding and furniture. Not all of the outlets and lights worked, and two of the fan lights would randomly come on at night, waking everyone up. The one fan was unable to be turned off at all. The management at the colony made it very clear we were “outsiders” by booking via vrbo.There is no AC and it is a bit musty in there, lots of dust on the blinds and dividers. No true privacy between rooms. I don’t think you can actually call this two bedrooms.Hanalei is really far North and after a fallen tree one night, we had to wait a few hours before we could get back. It’s also super dark, windy, single lane bridges at night. We were ok with that, but something to keep in mind.As long as you’re not expecting a posh place, it’s fine if you like it up North, and are ok with it just being a stopping area between adventures. It’s nice it’s so close to tunnels beach and you can beat the crown there.Overall, it felt safe, but it wasn’t what we were expecting based on the pics.

This property was absolutely perfect for us. We love the rustic old Hawaiian style -If you are looking for luxury stay in Princeville.

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Very clean and quiet. Great location. Outlets in bathrooms did not work. Staff very friendly. Kitchen clean and well stocked with cookware, but very few consumables. A bit stingy on the number of towels we were allowed to use ( rather strange)

We booked this for our anniversary and the host had a note and little gift greeting us to the place. The room where was outstanding – from the minute we walked in until we left. The lanai overlooks Shipwreck beach, and it was delightful to watch the sun rise every morning. We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay - very comfortable bed and we loved having the AC for our bedroom at night. We would come back to this unit on future trips.
