Rental Details

Property Overview

Hanalei Colony Resort F3 - These unique Hanalei vacation rentals are north shore Kauai's only true beachfront resort, recently voted one of Travel + Leisure's top 20 favorite resorts! This lovely upstairs corner condo has been updated inside and includes a large shady lanai with oceanfront 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 two twin beds, giving you the option to sleep two additional people You can use the room as a living area or office space if it's a working vacation for two. It 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 cozy full kitchen which includes everything you need for simple meal preparation. 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.) Guests at F3 will be able to take advantage of their own secure ultra high speed internet connection thru Spectrum cable.

In order to take full advantage of the Hawaiian trade winds, this unit faces directly oceanfront and offers unobstructed panoramic sea views. When the trade winds die down, multiple high-speed fans provide plenty of breeze as well. Whether enjoying a meal or relaxing on the lanai, or enjoying the spectacular view from inside the unit, staying at the Hanalei Colony Resort F3 condo is an experience few are fortunate to have, and one you will never forget. And because this unit is one of the few at Hanalei Colony Resort equipped with ultra-high-speed, secure internet service, it is also perfect for those who need to mix a little work with their wave-watching!

In addition to Hanalei Colony Resort F3's welcoming interior and views, and the beach just in front, the location offers additional amenities for guests to enjoy including 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 five 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. Whether your plans include a romantic occasion, a working vacation, or something in between, the Hanalei Colony Resort F3 can help ensure you enjoy a never-to-be-forgotten Kauai North Shore vacation!

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.

Rating Details: The property manager was very 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: The location of and view from this location was spectacular. Very remote, quiet, and listening to the waves while laying in bed was amazing. The place was a bit dated and could use some upgrades, but it was manageable. There is no AC, but the listing notes this and many places in the north of Kauai do not have AC, but this should be advertised with emphasis in the listing/title. Overall, great, fun little place to stay.

We loved the rustic, peaceful vibe of the colony after spending a few days each in Waikiki and Kapa'a. The property is as advertised, not new and shiny, no AC or TV... everything we wanted and needed. Open air, literally steps from the water on the second floor, cooling breeze, falling asleep listening to the waves. Check in info all received ahead of time. Best unit location!! The onsite laundry is by the pool where there is also a lovely large shaded seating area with two mega grill set ups including mini fridges for dining. Great set up once you find it, lol, dont just look at the little bridge, go Over it and to the right. Laundry coins available for purchase at the office. Everyone we encountered there were friendly. Tunnels beach is just down the way a bit with breath taking views and great snorkeling (in the summer). Go EARLY for parking! If you are going to Kauai, do not miss the north - get at least to Hanalei to see the real beauty! The roads are narrow, pace is refreshingly not hectic, MaiTai's at Tahiti Nui are omg, Holey Grail donuts are very good, The Terrace (upstairs) fabulous for dinner. NaPail Catamaran coast tour - exceptional!! NaPali coast speechless! Loved our time at Hanalei Colony.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This unit will have you admiring the view by day and fast asleep at night to the sound of crashing waves. It's the perfect base for exploring the sights of the north and providing a relaxing retreat to return home to.

There's no better place on Kauai. Beach front- quiet- bike to tunnels and snorkel... the best. For the price especially during the holiday this is the place to stay. We sleep each night to the sound of the ocean and woke up to beautiful sunrises. Highly recommend.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We started every morning with coffee at the table on the porch overlooking the ocean, and one morning we spent about 5 hours just sitting and reading our books. Every evening we returned to that spot to enjoy a cocktail. We loved hearing the ocean at night through the open windows as we fell asleep. It was a great getaway, and we very much enjoyed our stay!

No thrills but easy drives to hanalei Bay and Tunnels Beach. Our place was right on the water and could just listen to the waves all night! Can't get into the water at this location but we knew that beforehand.

The pictures match the reality -- we sat outside with wine and were watching waves fairly close to the unit.:-) It can be a minimal beach on high tide and the tide comes up to the resort rock boundary. For folks looking for a condo on a beach in the Hanalei area, this unit is a great home base. A small but functional kitchen and although no dishwasher, the starter cleaning supplies -- sponge, brushes, Dawn, made it simple to keep up with the disk washing. A comfortable bed and falling asleep to the waves... Ahhh, wish I was back there again. :-) The WIFI worked great and was specific to this unit. The door lock keycodes were nice as we didn't have to worry about losing a key in the sand or anything. With prior arrangements, the Haena state park shuttle will pick up ticket holders at the resort which was very nice. And we found the restaurant, OPAKAPAKA, next door to the resort, delicious. They can make togo food, then take it to the condo and eat outside overlooking the waves. We had a very relaxing time. :-)

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: F3 was exactly as pictured. We found property very clean and comfortable with everything we could possibly need. Everything was in working order with exception of one toilet running and not flusing right and one of the back small windows with wooden louvers, did not open and close completely (maybe warped from moisture?) Most likely will be returning. Would love to get ground level unit in Bld A but could not find information on it on web. Second floor was nice, but difficult to drag suitcases up. Although it was fine for my husband and I, we are not sure family with kids or even adults who are "sun worshipers" would be satisfied with the limited access to a swimming beach. It was great to listen to wave and feel breeze but we are much older...not interested in frolicking in the ocean.

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We spent a week here and one in Poipu. For our taste this is the place. If you want to sleep on the 10th floor and sit around a crowded pool this is not for you. Yes, the unit could use some updating but for location and atmosphere Hanalei Colony can't be beat. WE WILL BE BACK!
