About this property
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.
