About this property

Beachfront Escape w/ Old Hawai'i Feeling - Fall Asleep Listening to the Waves

Wake up to both breathtaking oceanfront and dramatic mountain views at this charming upstairs corner condo at Hanalei Colony Resort. Just steps from one of Kauai's most secluded beaches, this peaceful retreat offers the perfect blend of spectacular scenery, quiet relaxation, and old Hawaii charm.

At a Glance:
Upstairs corner condo with panoramic ocean and mountain views
Just steps from a secluded sandy beach
Sleeps up to 4 (1 King, 1 Queen)
Large covered lanai overlooking the ocean
Complimentary WiFi
Resort pool, hot tub, BBQ area & guest laundry
Onsite restaurant, coffee shop/art gallery & day spa
About 15 minutes from Hanalei Town

Recently recognized as one of Travel + Leisure's Top 20 Favorite Resorts, Hanalei Colony Resort offers an authentic North Shore experience away from the crowds. The secluded beachfront setting is ideal for honeymoons, anniversaries, proposals, or anyone looking to unwind in one of Kauai's most beautiful locations. The Hanalei Day Spa is just across the parking lot, while the resort's restaurant and coffee shop/gallery make it easy to relax without leaving the property. Hanalei's shops, restaurants, and galleries are only about a 15-minute drive away.

This upstairs corner condo enjoys exceptional views in every direction. Spend your mornings on the spacious covered lanai listening to the waves, then stroll downstairs for a walk on the beach just moments from your door.

The primary bedroom features a king bed and can be separated from the living area with traditional sliding shoji screens, providing visual privacy while allowing cooling ocean breezes to circulate throughout the unit. The second bedroom offers a queen bed and beautiful ocean views, with sliding doors that provide visual privacy. (Because the partitions are not fully soundproof, guests should keep late-night noise to a minimum.)

The comfortable living and dining areas are surrounded by large picture windows that frame dramatic views of Wainiha Bay, the rugged Kauai coastline, open ocean, and lush mountains dotted with waterfalls. The open kitchen is thoughtfully equipped for preparing simple meals or serving takeout after a day of exploring the island.

To preserve the peaceful atmosphere that has made Hanalei Colony Resort so special for decades, the condos do not have televisions. Complimentary WiFi is provided, making it easy to stream your favorite shows—or disconnect completely, if that's more your style.

As a guest in this privately managed condo, you'll enjoy full access to the resort's amenities, including the swimming pool, hot tub, barbecue area, and guest laundry facilities. Please note that a few services provided exclusively to guests who book directly through the resort—such as towel exchange and the resort shuttle—are not available to private rentals.

Hanalei Colony Resort was built in a simpler era, and its design reflects that timeless character. The condos are cozy, with compact kitchens intended for easy vacation cooking rather than gourmet entertaining. To preserve the property's authentic charm, you'll notice a few modern conveniences are intentionally absent: there are no dishwashers or in-unit washers and dryers (a guest laundry room is available), and most condos do not have televisions. It's all part of the slower pace that makes this special corner of Kauai so memorable.

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.

We loved eating breakfast on the patio overlooking the ocean, playing on the beach, swimming in the divinely-warm pool and soaking in the hot tub. This place has it all! Highly recommend and will be coming back!

The secluded location and natural beauty of the resort property are 5-star. We especially appreciated the quiet of the location away from the parking lot and the street.

Wonderful place on the North Shore

Our stay here was fantastic. The location is beautiful and you fall asleep to the sound of the waves every night. Beautiful beach right out front and close to Tunnels, Haena Beach Park and 15 min from Hanalei. We loved staying out here instead of up in Princeville. The pool was great and local coffee shop and restaurant made it very easy.

Amazing location!!! Nice people. Beautiful new pool area. We loved that there was a restaurant and little shop with gifts and snacks on property. The buildings themselves are a bit outdated but still charming. Our only real complaint was the cleaning products used in the unit. We could feel whatever was used to mop the floors on our feet and found the laundry detergent too scented. But that’s an easy fix.

A Slice of Paradise

We were so pleased overall with our stay. The property management was polite and responsive. The ocean view was divine! We particularly enjoyed the pool facilities and Lomi Lomi massages at the day spa on site. Glad we stayed here, near the end of the North Shore road where it was more remote & peaceful. The concierge service was a huge plus in helping set up excellent activities for our family. Will definitely stay here again next time in Kauai. Mahalo!

Perfect Secluded Location

My partner and I enjoyed every second of our stay at Hanalei Colony Resort. The units are minimalist but clean, the grounds are beautifully maintained and the pool/laundry/grill area is stunning (recently remodeled). The location can’t be beat - steps to the beach, away from the hustle and bustle and right next door to a restaurant/bar (Opakapaka) and a coffee shop. At times, we had the beach to ourselves. Hanalei is 10 minutes away as well. We will be back year after year!
