2024 Traveler Award winning rental, Hanalei Colony Resort I2 is unique among north shore Kauai condo resorts. These Hanalei vacation rentals are directly on the path to follow, just take a few steps and you're on the sand. And I2 is literally just a few steps to the beach, with absolutely amazing sea views from every room. The only way you could be any closer to the water is if you were actually on a boat! You can also take advantage of the restaurant and spa onsite, or prepare your own food in your apartment's full kitchen or on the gas grills provided. Pool, jacuzzi, guest laundry room, and barbecue are conveniently close.

Hanalei Colony Resort I2 is beautiful inside with a prime oceanfront location at north shore Kauai's only true beachfront resort. You can see the beach from your living room and bedroom windows, and once you step out onto the shady lanai, it's only a couple more steps and you're right there on the secluded sandy beach that fronts the property!

Inside, you'll find a full kitchen, with subway tile backsplash and custom cabinetry. There are two full bathrooms, recently refreshed. The first bedroom is furnished with a king bed, and the guest bedroom has a queen size bed. Both bedrooms can be closed off from the shared living areas with wooden louver doors that preserve the refreshing airflow while providing 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 room and dining area each comfortably accommodate 4 people. Your private (furnished) lanai is absolutely perfect for enjoying a morning cup of coffee or evening glass of wine while relaxing to the sounds of the surf and enjoying the cool breeze. There is a smart TV, and dedicated high-speed wifi is provided so you won't be completely cut off from the modern world. (Only as cut off as you wish to be.)

In addition to Hanalei Colony Resort I2's beautiful interior and perfect sea views of the beach just in front, guests can enjoy the swimming pool, jacuzzi, barbecue grills, and guest laundry room. You can walk next door to the Opakapaka Bar and Grill. Also located just across the parking lot is the Hanalei Day Spa. Just ten 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.

While wonderfully ...

The Kauai Kahuna is just what I wanted. It was right on the crashing waves with beautiful views of the mountains in a remote area just outside of Hanalei Bay. I loved listening to the waves at night and waking up to the sunrise in the morning. The flowers and the plants on the grounds are wonderful to look at as you walk in and out of the condo. We had a few difficulties with our stay but the staff at Kauai Kahuna found resolutions for us every time. The pool, bbq, and laundry that are onsite were very helpful and welcome bonuses too. I would gladly choose to stay here the next time that I come to the north shore Kauai.

Overall, our stay was great. The location was good because it was away from the hubbub of Kapaa and other busier island spots. Hanalei is a charming town with shopping, grocery, and good restaurants. The condo was right on the water as advertised and the resort area were cared for. It was roomy and pleasant. Wi-fi service was terrible to nonexistent. Even though we had been warned about this, our neighbors had good service. The floors had not been mopped and cobwebs were hanging from the fans and blinds. We were advised to bring extra toilet paper and soap, which we did. We had a three-week stay and believe that a cleaning should have been included in the fee. For what we paid, we feel like the Wi-Fi should have worked, TP, bath soap and one cleaning should have been included.

The patio was as advertised, amazing view. Great ocean breezes. Private resort. Nice long walks on the beach. Good swimming area in the ocean to the left of the resort if looking out at the ocean. Otherwise bit tough I would imagine for kids wanting to be in the ocean swimming. Inside of the unit the reality is that it needs cleaned up. Not a surface clean after each guest, but a good ole deep deep clean. This did not wreck our stay but it is in need of updates. Both beds are in need of replacement. We are not trying to be picky guests, as we stay at all sorts of places. We just think reviews are what make peoples vacations particularly great or particularly bad. The unit sits next to a drainage or creek that flows from the mountains. It can or did have a strange smell on several occasions through your stay. Patio chairs - comfortable. Beach chairs and umbrella perfect. There is a unit above. You will hear the movements and voices of the guests above. This is lolder construction - the insulation does not dampen sound. Bring your own ice. The unit has one, 12 cube tray - 4 of them leak. Effectively you will have 8 cubes with each freezing. Not a big deal. Ice can be sourced. Not the first reviewers to mention this. Must not be an important item for management. Coffee pot was broken for our visit. Had a hole in it. Overall great location, feels dirty on inside - outside is where it’s at.

Nice clean unit. Adequately stocked in kitchen. Bring your own soap and shampoo’s, not provided. Technically not oceanfront as advertised, but a beautiful view. You are close enough to hear and enjoy the waves. Beaches are awesome. Restaurant on site is open and food is good.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: This unit was clean, fairly well equipped, and in a GREAT location. Furnishings are beautiful.Some improvements would be to add: salad spinner, colander, kitchen sink stopper, plastic wash basin, egg pan, Windex, 409 (basic cleaners). Thank you for having a rice cooker, beach chairs, cooler, and beach umbrella! Please make it clear to renters that there are two different shuttle services. The HCR shuttle is NOT available to use by Kauai Kahuna renters (only HCR renters). The North Shore shuttle is available to the general public.Aloha!dj

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: I have had very good service from Kauai Kahuna Vacation Rental. Their properties are immaculate and we have never had a single issue. They are communicative and follow up. The property we stayed in at HCR was so special. My daughter and I enjoyed every minute there. Unfortunately, two and a half weeks before the trip we had an unforeseen circumstance and then another right before the trip and there was no flexibility to cancel or get a credit so we had to go without my son and husband two years in a row. I don’t even know if insurance would cover that, but will need to make sure we are protected in the future one way or another because it was a large investment for just half our family to enjoy.
