Rental Details
Property Overview
Hanalei Colony Resort K4 is a cute and intimate retreat in an off-the-beaten-path location on Kauai's far North Shore, perfect for romantic getaways and escaping the crowds! The sunny and cheerful condo has two bedrooms, with the option to use the second bedroom as a work space or kids bedroom, a fully equipped kitchen, and an open living and dining area that gets tons of natural light in addition to the killer ocean views. There's also a large, shady lanai with seating for 2 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, 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)
For those of us that like to get out and about, Hanalei Colony Resort K4 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. Ha'ena Beach is just another 3 minutes down the road, and is an absolute hidden gem with pristine 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 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 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 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.
This is an upstairs unit. You must be able to go up and down 2.5 flights of stairs (roughly 25 steps) to access the unit. 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.

This unit is no where near as well kept as other units within the resort. It feels as if the owners have neglected it. Our stay was interrupted several times with maintenance workers as they were discovering a leak from the second bathroom into the unit below. Making the second bathroom inoperable for most of our stay. The unit has no closet space. Just a small dresser in the second bedroom. There is a table on the lanai, but the soffit has seen better days. It appeared to be almost rotten and falling off. All of the furniture is pretty beaten up and dated.All of the towels were stained.And the day before we left the disposal in the kitchen sink went out and the kitchen sink was forever backed up. I made the mistake of booking this unit through a rental company. Unlike all of the other reservations that I have made at this property in prior years. We will be back, but I will be more careful when making the reservation.
Nice unit with an ocean view. Very close to Tunnels Beach where you can walk thru a cave. The restaurant onsite is not operational, but you can get coffee in the morning. (Our unit did not come with a starter supply of coffee as promised).Our favorite thing during our stormy stay was the pool and hot tub. The pool temperature was divine! So warm and amazing. We all loved it. FYI there are stairs to the unit. We appreciated the fans available for white noise as the rain was LOUD.
The location and view can’t be beat. Could use a little updating. We will be back someday!

Can’t beat the view and sound of the ocean to put you to sleep. All the amenities you could need! 10/10 would stay here again!!
Enjoyed sitting on balcony listening to and watching the waves. Close to Tunnels beach and hiking and just up to road from Hanalei
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. 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: If you are looking for a private, beautiful beach, look no more. This is a beautiful spot and steps from the door. If you are looking for an updated, lively resort, this is not the spot. This is an older, quiet condo complex. It is toward the end of the road north of Hanalei. There isn't a lot close by. The unit has an amazing view of the ocean and you can fall asleep to the waves every night. It is older and shows signs of wear. Being this close to the ocean, you should expect that. I do agree with other reviewers, it could use a good deep cleaning. Also, be aware, there is no TV. This can be a good thing though, but if you are wanting to catch a big game, you won't be able to do so here. We enjoyed our stay here and got lots of rest and relaxation. Pool area has been updated and is very nice-complete with covered BBQ and hang out spot. Not sure if we'd stay again, but we are glad we tried this area.
We enjoyed our stay at this property. It was quiet and comfortable.
Great location by all the best the north shore has to offer. The pool was lovely too. Beach wasn’t suitable for swimming but made for a great walk.
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: My wife and I absolutely loved this property. Our only complaint was one of the blinds wouldn’t pull down. AC would be nice but it’s not a necessity. This is the only place we will stay on Kaua’i, we loved it that much. We drove around to look at other places we thought about staying and were so happy that we chose HCR. Sure there’s other fancier places to stay but we came to Kauai hoping not to get the touristy feeling. HCR was nothing but peaceful and relaxed and we can’t wait to come back! We are already looking to book again for next year.
The whole island is absolutely stunning; the Hanalei Colony was like the icing on a cake. It's in such a beautiful part of the island. I especially appreciated the bed and bedding. I'm probably a bit too picky about pillows, sheets, etc. but all of the bedding in our apartment was VERY comfortable.
Very happy with the stay and Kauai overall.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed in an ocean view condo at Hanalei Colony Resort. This is a very unique place. The scenery is beautiful, it’s quiet and a great place to slow down and relax.
Well away from the "crowds" of Hanalei, this second floor location was perfect for the two of us. As others have noted, the ocean-adjacent location has taken a bit of a toll on some elements (like hardware), but the property was clean, the grounds immaculate, and the view to the breaking waves amazing. Not fancy upscale, but comfortable, homey, and (for us) just right. Kitchen was reasonably well equipped - we cooked all but one meal during our stay. Pool / hot pool / grill area lovely.
It was our 1st time in Hawaii, and we really enjoyed staying at this unit as it was close to the beach and feeling away from other tourists. The unit had everything we needed away from home. Would definitely stay here again!
The view of the ocean is spectacular. Very off the beaten path. Beautifil
