Private and Romantic Seaside Retreat - Just Twelve Steps to the Beach!
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 Gaia restaurant. 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 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.
Although this home has a dedicated high-speed internet connection, the speed and reliability of wifi 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.
Este piso se encuentra en Hanalei, en la playa. Si quieres sumergirte en la belleza natural de la región, acércate a Parque estatal de la costa de Nā Pali o a Hanalei Bay. Jardín botánico tropical Limahuli Garden and Preserve y Jardines botánicos de Princeville también merecen la pena. Tendrás la oportunidad de disfrutar del agua realizando actividades como submarinismo o tubing acuático, pero también podrás vivir grandes aventuras practicando la equitación o las rutas a pie o en bicicleta en las inmediaciones.

Amazing, low key, beautiful fauna and foliage. Enjoyed the daily visits to the coffee shop, had multiple meals at the newly opened onsite Gaia restaurant and loved our morning yoga on our lania. Tunnels is a quick 15 minute drive as are the botanical gardens and the coastal hike. The pool was warm and clean. Only thing needed was a blind that could open and close in the master bedroom and a second lamp as well for the second nightstand.

The property was located right next to the beach as listed with gorgeous views. The pool was easy to access and we were the only ones there when we went! It is a great location from Tunnels Beach, we were able to get there early and easily get a parking spot. The afternoon we checked in was humid so we pulled out the three standing fans in the closet, but only one worked. When we contacted the host number no one answered. When we tried a second time, someone answered, but we were told that since it was late on a Friday, 4:30 pm, that it was unlikely that the "housekeeper" would still be available to assist us. We were there till Tuesday, but no one ever stopped by or called us back about the standing fans. Thankfully all the ceiling fans were working.

The beach and ocean view and location was just amazing. It was fantastic listening to the ocean at night, and the location was only a few miles from town, but it felt like you were in a private paradise. The property was clean and beautifully apportioned. The pool was warm and very nice. The property manager checked on us several times. I would definitely return; it was just perfect and so enjoyable.

Summer Getaway
This was my first visit to Hawaii and it did not disappoint. We were looking for a location that was away from the crowds but close to great beaches. We also wanted to be close to the ocean for morning walks and to watch the sun rise. This spot is right next to Tunnels Beach (our new favorite) and some great hikes. This place checked off all the boxes.We are a family of 4 and had plenty of space in the condo. We look forward to returning next year!

The unit is described accurately. Plenty of amenities for our family’s 4 day stay. The beach provided spectacular sunrises and sunsets, even visited by the native monk seal.

Paradise
They don't lie when they say you are steps from the beach and you can listen to it all day long from the unit! The kitchen is awesome to be able to prepare meal and the this portion of the island is perfect for the island life with all the shops and restaurants but the small town feel and atmosphere that makes the location perfect!

Peaceful location
Wonderful location at the end of the road. Quiet and peaceful. The unit was one of the few with internet TV which was appreciated for evenings when we weren't playing cards. Pool and bbq area was wonderful. We really enjoyed the off/on rain during this time of year. You can't swim here, but Tunnels is only a few minutes away.

Wonderful stay at Hanalei
A very nice laid-back area of the island. The beaches here are not swimmable but you are only footsteps from the ocean and the mornings are beautiful to see the sunrise from this location. Sandy Beach right outside of our lanai. Lawn chairs, umbrella and cooler are provided and there are grills available with refrigerators and sink at poolside.

Dreamy beach spot
You cannot beat this place for location. Listening to the ocean waves at night (and the stars!!) was magical. We were perfectly comfortable with the unit and enjoyed the pool and mellow community. It is a bit of a drive to the places to eat in Hanalei, so best to cook your meals or commit to a bit of a commute.

Great place for a stay in North Kauai
The property is as advertised. Being at the very northern tip of the island is amazing and having the restaurant onsite with access to the Pool/spa was very nice. Proximity to all of the northern beaches is a real benefit including the one steps from the back door. Thank you.

Reviewer Comments:
The location was amazing, just steps from the water. We wanted to feel like we were truly away and after 5 days staying there, we still had that “pinch me” feeling. We visit HI every year and I’ve lived there for several years as well. I was blown away at how awesome this spot was. Peaceful, water right outside our door, mountain back drop, friendly staff. Our kids demand we come back here next year!!

Wonderful Location for mornings on the Beach
Perfect sized unit and creative configuration for families with very young kids. We made full use of the walk out to the sand every morning. Our two-year old was a big fan of watching the waves while throwing back some longans.

Great remote location.
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.

Great place to stay on the north shore
We spent 4 days at the Hanalei Colony Resort, which is where this unit is. It was a good combo of a privately owned and managed unit with a resort structure, with a restaurant and grounds and maintenance crews. I’m afraid I can’t really recommend the food in the restaurant, which we found disappointing. But the unit itself was nicely furnished and the kitchen well stocked. The proximity to the ocean is great - this unit is oceanfront. And I got the best massage of my life from Ginger at the day spa there.
