True Beachfront Romance in Quiet Intimate Location - Perfect for Honeymoons!
Hanalei Colony Resort C2 is a charming, intimate retreat on the far North Shore, perfect for a relaxed and romantic vacation! This cozy condo has two bedrooms, with the option to use one as a home office or children's bedroom, a nicely stocked kitchen, and a comfortably furnished living and dining area with incredible ocean views from the oversized windows. The shaded private lanai looks directly at the water, allowing you to enjoy the sights and sounds of the Pacific. Please note that the bedrooms are separated from the main living space via sliding shoji screens; while the screens offer visual privacy, they are by no means soundproof.
The amenities at Hanalei Colony Resort make this the perfect spot for a slow-paced and laidback vacation. Walk just a few steps and you're right on a warm, sandy beach away from any crowds! Or, spend a day by the pool and hot tub, lounging in the sun and grilling in the outdoor kitchen. If you need to truly unwind and pamper yourself, the Hanalei Day Spa is just across the parking lot and offers some incredible services (can you say beachside couple's massage?). You'll also find the Gaia Restaurant on site for some tasty seaside bites, as well as the Na Pali Art Gallery & Coffee Shop where you can peruse some beautiful art while enjoying a morning brew. Additionally, there is an on site coin-operated laundry room, so be sure to bring some quarters! (the front office can usually make change if you don't have any quarters)
For those of us that like to get out and about, Hanalei Colony Resort C2 is still conveniently close to many main attractions. Take a quick 15 minute drive and you're in the heart of Hanalei town, with all its charming boutiques, restaurants, and cafes. Grab a bite to eat or a shave ice before heading to the iconic beaches of Hanalei Bay for the day. Tunnels Beach, perfect for snorkeling, is only 3 minutes away driving, or 20 minutes on foot if you prefer to walk it. Ha'ena Beach is just another 3 minutes down the road, and is an absolute hidden gem with crystal clear waters and some of the best sunsets in the world. You're also just 10 minutes away from the Limahuli Garden & Preserve, which offers an introduction into native Hawaiian culture and its ties to the natural landscape against a backdrop of dramatic mountains and the Pacific Ocean. For any basic grocery needs, as well as delicious sandwiches, acai bowls, coffee, and shave ice, head 3 minutes down the road to the Wainiha Country Market. You'll also find a lovely selection of local goodies you won't be able to resist.
Please note that Hanalei Colony Resort was built in simpler times in a more remote location. The resort was designed with the untouched, natural environment as the main draw, and does not offer all the luxuries of modern resorts. There is no dishwasher and no TV in the unit (although there is very fast Wi-Fi), and it takes longer to access other parts of the island. Drive time to Princeville and Kilauea is roughly 30 minutes, to the East Side (where the airport is) is 70 minutes, and to the South Shore is over 90 minutes. We highly recommend renting a car, as third party guests are unfortunately NOT able to use the resort shuttle services. We do, however, encourage guests to take advantage of the North Shore Shuttle, which services locations such as the Wainiha Country Market, Limahuli Gardens, and Ha'ena State Park. The shuttle will pick you up right in the parking lot of Hanalei Colony Resort (super convenient!), and advance reservations are required.
As with most homes on Kauai, this vacation rental is NOT air conditioned, however there are ceiling fans in each space and additional tower fans to help with air flow.
Although this is a ground floor unit, you will need to be able to go up 4 stairs to access the front door.
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.

Mahalo for your kind review, Clarise! We're so pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay, and we hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back the next time you need a relaxing retreat :-) Aloha!
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.

Mahalo for taking the time to leave your honest feedback. We sincerely apologize for your disappointing experience, and we will be sure to address the maintenance issues as swiftly as possible. We do make sure to disclose in our listing, as well as our check-in instructions, that not all of the resort privileges are available to our guests, and we regret that this information was overlooked. We hope to have the opportunity to provide you with an updated experience in the future, aloha and safe travels!
We're very happy to hear you enjoyed your stay, Ted! We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back again soon, and we're wishing you safe travels on your future adventures. Aloha!
We loved the location. The beach access is amazing as well as the calm and less resorty and natural feel. Highly recommend!

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.
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.

Had a fantastic stay. Utilized the amenities (coin operated washer/dryer and very large swimming pool) and they were excellent and well maintained as well. Would gladly book and stay again!
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 absolutely loved our time at this vacation rental! The property was clean, quiet, romantic and in the best location right out of town and short drive or walk to all the beaches! Would 10/10 recommend for other couples looking for a great place to stay in Hawaii!
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!

Mahalo for the lovely review Jeff! We're so happy that you and your family had a great time, and we're very excited to welcome you back this summer :-) Aloha and safe travels (and see you soon!)
Hanalei Colony Resort, a few miles outside of Hanalei, set us up for great snorkeling at Tunnels Beach... the best part of our trip to Hanalei and Poipu. Our unit had a lovely view and the whole resort is quiet and comfortable... just what we wanted.

Mahalo for taking the time to review your stay with us, Jennie! We're so happy to see you enjoyed your week on the island, and we hope we'll be able to welcome you back again soon :-) Aloha and safe travels!
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.

Thanks David for your review. We hope you come back soon for some more Island Time! Mahalo
If we failed to handle the guest's failure to check out on time with enough patience, we genuinely regret the lapse. We had a cleaning crew waiting in the parking lot for an hour and another guest checking in that day, so there was some stress involved.
They weren't lying about fast wifi, and the ocean views were great too!
Really appreciated having dedicated wifi in this unit and not having to rely on the resort wifi, it made everything so much easier, especially streaming movies at the end of the day. Loved watching the ocean from the desk while working, and being able to park just a few feet away was perfect for loading and unloading. I hope to come back with my partner one of these days!
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.
