You can't get any closer to the beach than this!

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.

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.
