About this property

You'll have the entire condo to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Secluded and right on the beach, it's awesome!

Hanalei Colony Resort E1 - modern ocean view apartment in north shore Kauai's only true beachfront resort, recently voted one of Travel + Leisure's top 20 favorite resorts. These unique Hanalei vacation rentals are just steps away from the secluded sandy beach that fronts the property! Opakapaka Bar and Grill is just across the parking lot, as is the Hanalei Day Spa if you're looking to pamper yourself. Just a few 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.

This downstairs corner condo has a lovely ocean view and it takes just moments to walk across the grass and onto the sand. You'll enjoy the large shady lanai and peaceful sounds of the surf. There is one bedroom, furnished with a king bed. For privacy, it can be closed off from the rest of the unit with sliding shoji screens which still allow air flow to keep you cool at night. A second bedroom is furnished with a day bed, giving you the option to sleep an additional person You can use the room as a home office if it's a working vacation for two. It also has sliding shoji screens for 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 and dining areas are comfortably furnished and there are dramatic ocean views from each of the large picture windows. You won't mind cooking in the efficient, open kitchen which has everything you need to prepare simple home-cooked meals or serve up your take-out with style. While there are no televisions in the apartments, wifi is provided so you won't be completely cut off from the modern world. (Only as cut off as you wish to be.) Hanalei Colony Resort E1 is a Kauai vacation rentals stand-out!

As a guest at a privately managed unit in the resort, you are invited to make full use of all of the facilities such as swimming pool, jacuzzi, barbecue area, and guest laundry room. Certain services provided by the resort staff are not available to private renters, such as the towel exchange window, and 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 your favorite shows).

As with most homes on Kauai, this vacation rental is NOT air conditioned.

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.

The pump for the septic system (which is very necessary!) is near this unit. Most people won't even notice it's there, but if you're sensitive to noise, you may want to book a unit further away.

Oasis!
We loved this property! The location is perfectly out of the way from too much traffic or tourists but still close enough to everything we wanted to do or see. So close to the beach. The condo was perfect for what we wanted and it was very easy to get a hold of the property managers if we had questions. Will be dreaming about this place until we return!

The location was great and the unit was perfect for the two of us. There was no TV (fine for us), WiFi was good. We were 100 feet from the beach and could walk to Tunnels Beach via the beach walk. We will definitely stay here again!

Awesome place. Loved everything about it. View of the ocean, clean, very comfortable bed. However....we were never given the key code for the swimming pool area that also included the laundry area. I emailed 3 times with no response. Not acceptable.

Amazing Location
This is our second stay at the Hanalei Colony Resort and it is the best location on the island. We enjoy our quiet morning and nights watching the sunrise and sunset. The North Shore has the best beaches on the island and they are all easily accessible from Hanalei Colony Resort. If you want a nice stay away from the hustle at a big resort then this is your place.

As described. Management and check in were excellent. Kitchen just ok, but not a big deal since we planned to eat out the whole time. Would love to have salt and a small thing of cooking oil, but we got by fine. Would stay here again. Excellent coffee place next door and the landscaping was amazing.

Would definitely return to this property if we’re lucky enough to visit again. Clean, spacious, and beautiful location. It’s definitely secluded, which is exactly what we wanted. Short drive to beaches, restaurants, and other activities on the North Shore.

Kauai at Hanalei Colony Resort E1
We really loved this place. We were hiking the wilderness trail and wanted to be close to the trailhead. This place has a good view of the ocean and access is less than 20 yards from the porch. A five minute walk down the beach gave us a calm zone for swimming/snorkeling when we visited 9/29-10/8. We saw turtles there and a resting beached monk seal. We would rate the restaurant at 6/10, its convenient, beautiful view of the water, we loved the fries and poke nachos. And it has a large bar area. The rest of the food there was ok. The condo is very close to Hanalei Bay, which has more food options. The bed was very comfortable and the sheets were high thread count and really nice. We didn’t cook there so I don’t have anything to say regarding the cooking supplies. The condo can easy give privacy to two bedrooms by pulling wood dividers closed, and each “bedroom zone” includes a bathroom. Or you open it all up, as we did. There is no air conditioning, it’s ceiling fans, screen doors and windows, we found this to be sufficient each day. We would stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet, simple, comfortable, beautiful location on the north shore.

Amazing site
This is our second Hawaiian holiday (Maui, Oahu and Kauai) and Hanalei is our favourite spot so far. The apt is comfortable with good kitchen supplies, reasonable beds, showers and good beach supplies ( chairs, umbrella and snorkel masks). The internet is good but there is no AC and no TV. The resort has a very nice pool and a great BBQ area with tools, fridge and covered seating for a large family. You need to go elsewhere for a swimable beach. Restaurants in town we liked included Chicken in a barrel and the pizza joint in town. Postcards restaurant is a way overpriced place with small portions.. don’t bother.. Bar Acuda sounds great but make reservations way ahead of time.. we couldn’t get in.. Hawaiian surfing adventures in town is a great place to learn the basics.. Overall we’ll be back to Hanalei and probably back to this resort…

Absolutely loved our stay at E1. The location was wonderful. The view, incredible. Such a peaceful place and friendly overall. Enjoyed the walks on the beach, the snorkeling around the bay at baby beach, and enjoyed the rainbows. A healing place and perfect. Thank you!

Peace of Heaven on earth!
One of the most beautiful places I have visited that still feels like a step back in time. The resort is perfect with the beach right at your feet and the beautiful lanai to enjoy your breakfast or a glass of wine. The pool and hot tub is surrounded by beautiful gardens. If you want to relax and find yourself this could be the place for you. It is decorated with the island flare and very cozy to call this place home for however long you stay. Go and see for yourself!

Early March, one week stay. Just myself and wife. Everything was excellent, though perhaps a bit dated. We definitely enjoyed our stay. Quiet, peaceful, a bit out of the way, but right next to beach. Restaurant next door. The gift and coffee shop had the best coffee drinks. Parking was very convenient, and there were hand carts to move luggage.

Kauai Relaxation Stay
The grounds are nice and well kept. It appears that most, if not all, of the units have an ocean view. It is quiet except for the ocean sounds and some filtered highway traffic. Indoors is nice, comfortable but not spectacular. The bathrooms are 1970's motel style. The kitchen is barely adequate (for a state renowned for it's coffee I was disappointed with the $25 Black & Decker coffee maker). For two couples, don't expect intimate privacy; the room dividers are slatted and open at the top. I'm not sure what kind of bed the couch makes; we didn't attempt opening it. The king bed was comfortable The pool/spa/grilling area is as nice as represented, but good luck finding it, Access is distant from most of the units.

Our stay
This is a beautiful property. It is exactly as advertised. The view from the lanai looks exactly like the picture on VRBO. We really enjoyed staying here. It is quiet, the other guests were kind and polite, and there is a lovely lawn for kids to frolic on right off of the lanai. This condo is just steps from the ocean and a beautiful, secluded beach is a short walk away. My kids and I found lots of crabs on the volcanic rocks near the condo (by the ocean.) This place is just a few minutes away (by car) from Tunnels beach, Ke'e beach, and the Kalalau trailhead. I did miss having a dishwasher and washer / dryer, but I knew going in that this unit did not have those appliances. You can't go wrong here. Just book it.
