THE PERFECT HONEYMOON SUITE
When you first walk into Hanalei Bay Resort 4221 you will see Bali Hai (Mt Makana) in front of you and you'll know you have chosen to stay at the right resort and the right privately owned hotel room suite at a top North Shore condo location (voted #1 on travel sites). Why do you want this view? Its what people at the neighboring hotel pay $600/nt to see during sunset. There is no better way to enjoy the romance of Kauai than staying on the North Shore with a private lanai and sunset views. Located high on the Princeville bluff and 12 minutes to the town of Hanalei, Hanalei Bay Resort's 22 acres of winding paths and mountain views will leave you in awe. I enjoy dinner in Hanalei at places like BarAcuda, Tahiti Nui and Hanalei Dolphin for great sushi!!!! The St Regis Hotel is right next door and offers fine dining for those special dinners or have a cocktail on the terrace at sunset. Try their Sunday brunch. Happy Talk Bar and Lounge right on site, is now open 3pm-9pm for cocktails, burgers, appetizers and fun nightly music.
HBR 4221 is privately owned by Joan Bettencourt, self managed, air conditioned, and is a recently remodeled large hotel room style suite with KING SIZE BED and single sofa sleeper perfect for a young child (not good for an adult).
The bbq area, laundry facility, small pool and beach path is just a short walk away. I also supply beach toys, tennis rackets and even movies to view on the 32 inch flat screen TV. The large award winning lagoon style pool is a short 3 minute walk up the path as is the fire pit/sunset viewing area and 4 of 8 tennis courts. Now open 7 days a week is "The Ukulele Bar", the only swim up bar on Kauai. Grab a seat in the pool or sit at the outdoor bar and meet other guests over a beer, margarita, smoothie or mai tai. Now serving pizza, salads and sandwiches. Free music concerts in the afternoon by famed local musicians.
Check out the many positive reviews on popular travel sites!!!!
Maximum of 3 (2 adults and one child over 4 is acceptable) with use of a small sofa sleeper. Remember this suite does not have a kitchen (it has a coffee maker, microwave and mini fridge).
If you DO need a larger unit with full kitchen, living room/dining room combo and separate bedroom, please see my VRBO ad 136314 or for a two bedroom option that can sleep up to 6, combine 4221 and 4222 ($425/nt). This is the way to enjoy my island home with friends and extended family.

About Joan Bettencourt
My home is in California but my heart is in Kauai. We even renewed our wedding vows at HBR for our 25th anniversary with friends and family and I can help you arrange yours too!
I love to travel all over the world but Kauai is where I want to go back to!
Joan Bettencourt purchased this studio in 2005
Why Joan Bettencourt chose North Shore
After you visit Kauai and a stay at HBR, you will know the answer to this question. A top 10 Hawaii pool, the only swim up bar on Kauai, and sunset views over Bali Hai.
What makes this studio unique
It's all about the view. You get water views, mountain views and can watch the surfers in the winter. You will actually hear the waves at night.
ENJOY A PRIVATE LANAI. UNLIKE THE STUDIO UNITS, MY LANAI OFFERS YOU PRIVACY AND VIEWS.

Well Kept Studio Perfect for Couples with a FABULOUS view
My husband & I arrived after a few days of travel & this was just the retreat that we needed. The room was clean, inviting, well kept & the view of Bali Hai outstanding. This is the smaller unit with no kitchen available, but it does come equipped with dishes, blender, toaster, kuerig, regular coffee pot & a small refrigerator. The only sink to wash dishes/cups, if not rented in conjunction with the larger 1 bedroom unit, is the bathroom sink. It was not ideal for sure, but it was one of the ONLY things that I found not ideal with the unit.
The unit also comes with snorkel gear, umbrella, small picnic basket, beach chairs and tennis rackets/balls. The other thing that I found lacking was one of the beach chairs was VERY uncomfortable to use. I think it was made for a smaller frame, which I nor my husband have, and it did not adjust, so we just took turns using the Tommy Bahama chair. Yes, the chair was supplied by Joan & for that I was thankful. It was very hard to complain when sitting on Tunnels Beach. I did not even contact her about the chair as it was personal preference on our part.
This was our first stay at HBR & we will be back. From check-in to check-out everyone was so friendly & showed true aloha spirit. The bellhop service is a nice amenity & we used it to transport our bags, from the beach & for our groceries. The basic internet was perfectly fine & we both were able to function with the basic. The parking was the only issue that was not ideal. If you arrive after 7:30pm or so you will have to park near the front of the resort. One night we returned around 10pm & we barely found a spot. Don't let keep you from this fabulous resort. We visited in July 2017, peak season, so I am sure that is why the parking was so scarce. The walk to the unit from the parking lot is beautiful, but please note that the final hill into the bottom Palms building where the unit is located is steep (going down) & in the rain can be slick. You have to go back up that hill to wash and dry clothes (25-30 yards) as there is no washer & dryer in the unit (if renting separate from the 1 bedroom). We were in shape after a week here!! The resort is very well kept & we highly recommend it & Joan's unit. The unit even has soft closing drawers in bathroom & bar area !! LOVE! Her communication was timely & appreciated. We did have to contact her about a minor issue with the unit & the issue was QUICKLY resolved. Thanks so much for sharing your Kauai home with us! Mahalo!
Beautiful views, excellent care by owner
My husband and I stayed in the lock-off portion of this unit. The bed was wonderfully comfortable; the room was large enough with a nice sitting area, the kitchenette allowed us to prepare and enjoy a simple breakfast and lunch on the deck. The view from the deck is serene and beautiful. Joan attended to every detail via email and phone prior to our arrival and while we were there when I called her with a question. She even provided a list of her favorite restaurants and activities in the area. We are so happy to have found this property and will return. The property and the property owner are real gems.
Amazing!!
We recently returned from our destination wedding/honeymoon where we stayed in 4221. I thought the pictures of this condo were amazing but they do not do it (and the view) justice. The view is breathtaking and the condo is immaculate and beautiful. This condo is well cared for and it shows. The furnishings are high quality- even the sheets. The bed was very comfortable. The condo resort is great too. The pool is beautiful and the grounds are well maintained. The owner, Joan, was very helpful and answered all my questions promptly (which goes a long way with a nervous bride-to-be trying to perfect all the details of our elopement). We fell in love with Kauai and this condo and immediately booked a return trip. I cannot say enough good things about this condo and its owner. Thank you, Joan!
Majestic
First stay at HBR and wish we could have stayed longer. The resort is fantastic from check-in to check-out and in a perfect location for us to check out the entire North shore of Kauai. The drive to the Napali Coast was easy and we found there was more to do around town at a reasonable price compared to the south shore. Beach access takes about 10 minutes walking, 5 minutes by golf cart (shuttle). This unit has an absolutely spectacular view in September with the sun setting directly at the point of Bali Hai. Perfect unit for a couple; honeymooners won't be disappointed. Concur with accolades given in many of the other posts regarding bed, bath, and amenities. We hope to be back soon, absolutely loved every minute!!
So pretty!
This is our 2nd time renting this very nice property. The interior decor is top notch. Beautiful soft sheets. Bed is very comfortable. There are plenty of towels in the bathroom. The bathroom is updated, plus a nice shower head. The unit provides a gorgeous view that you can even enjoy from the bed! You can see all the way down to the ocean and the breathtaking green hills on the left. We so enjoyed the patio with chairs where we would sit in the early morning enjoying a cup of coffee taking in the beautiful view.
We enjoy driving to the Hanelei bay pier and hanging out for the day by the ocean. I also enjoy the cute shops in Hanelei (better than the south shore!)
Wonderful unit and location
My wife and I had a wonderful time in Kauai on our honeymoon. Staying at this HBR unit absolutely perfect! We loved the pool at the HBR and all the different activities close by. The gorgeous views of the ocean and Na Pali coast from this unit were breathtaking. We also really appreciated having the snorkel gear included in the unit; we took it to Ke'e beach one day and snorkeled around the reef. Joan provided lots of great information and recommendations on local restaurants and activities. Will definitely look to stay in this unit again when we travel back to Kauai!
