Our Haena vacation rentals at the Hanalei Colony Resort are mere steps from the beach. These highly desirable north shore Kauai rentals offer spectacular and unspoiled ocean scenery with incredible whitewater views from your private lanai. Hanalei Colony Resort J3 takes full advantage of the trade winds, and the large shady lanai also helps keep it cool inside. If the trade winds die down, multiple high-speed fans provide plenty of breeze as well. And because this unit has a convenient desk area (facing one of the picture windows with its spectacular oceanfront views), it is also perfect for those who need to mix a little work with their wave-watching! If you want to get out and enjoy a walk along the beach, you can walk all the way along the beach for literally hours before reaching the “end of the road” at Kee Beach – a walk that will take you past world-famous Tunnels Beach as well.
Recently voted one of Travel + Leisure's top 20 favorite resorts, Hanalei Colony Resort is perfect for a romantic couple's there's also plenty of room for you to bring the kids. The master bedroom is furnished with a king bed, and can be closed off from the living area with sliding shoji-style doors. The shoji doors' slatted construction provide visual privacy while still allowing air flow so you'll sleep cool at night. The second bedroom has a twin day bed. If you're not using it as sleeping space, it makes a perfect office, or comfy additional hang-out space. The second bedroom also can be closed off from the living area with sliding louver doors. Note that sound will still carry, so if you're streaming a late-night movie, be sure to keep the volume low. You'll find a comfortably furnished living room, with another sleeper sofa, and a dining area that can seat 5 people. The full kitchen is equipped with everything you need to prepare simple meals at you can enjoy on the lanai while listening to the sound of the waves!
Enjoy the resort amenities including swimming pool, jacuzzi, barbecue grills, and guest laundry room. Please note that as a guest in a privately managed unit, you won't be able to ride the resort shuttle.
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.

Loved experiencing the North coast from the convenient location. You are so close to the sea, you can feel the spray. Lovely restaurant connected.

A stunningly beautiful spot right on the beach. Woke up to the most amazing sunrises each morning. Walked for miles along the shore each day..this is a place that is simple and quite breathtaking. The accomodation had really patchy wifi, no tv, no aircon and no dishwasher but none of that mattered because it was such an opportunity to unplug and just watch the beauty around you. Beds were comfortable, place was spotless and the restaurant on the property was fabulous. Hosts were wonderfully responsive and we had a fantastic few days.

I stay on the north shore once a year. This was a wonderful location I haven't tried before but really enjoyed. Access to the beach was wonderful. The Kalalau trail is my favorite and very nearby. And the restaurant/bar is great for no necessary designated driver! Ha! The team was very easy to communicate with and the space was great!

We had the most wonderful vacation and stay at Hanalei Colony! It has everything you need without having to go anywhere, yet close to Hanalei bay and tunnels. The pool must have been recently done because the facility was so clean, new and my kids loved taking a beach break and swimming here! We especially loved the resort cat, Leo, who greeted us and gave my kids some love while missing their animals at home. We will rent here every summer in the future!

Hanalei Colony Resort is an incredible property. Beautiful grounds and great location. The view from unit J3 is just spectacular. The unit could use some updating but very comfortable.

Location, location, location!
Not only so close to so much natural beauty but also totally stocked with so many conveniences. The breezes, the waves, the gear!
A total find. Thank you!

Great overall location and amenities. J3 is a little dated and could have been a cleaner on check-in.

Cozy little place. It’s a bit dated but doesn’t matter as its well equipped and has amazing ocean front location. Everything you need but no TV which was actually cool as we preferred to watch the ocean anyway!

The second floor, Waterview unit is in a wonderful location on the island and amenities on the grounds, such as a decent restaurant, and a wonderful little pool and hot tub make it a great place to stay. There are just a few things that keep it from being awesome, including dull knives and Windows that haven’t been cleaned or are so covered in salt that it spoils the view. I would still totally recommend it but if you’re looking for 5 star, this isn’t it.

Overall, the property and location were wonderful, although some of the furnishings were old and a bit dingy. My friend and I took very good care to leave the property as we found it, but were hit with a charge for a stained sheet after checking out. Not only was this done without prior notification, but we did not leave stains on anything we used during our stay. This leaves a very bad taste in my mouth, especially after the ultra high cleaning fees attached to my stay. I intend to dispute the charge and will hesitate to rent from this property owner in the future.
