Steps from the sand, beach front and secludedon Kauai's north shore

Escape to paradise at Hanalei Colony Resort E3, a beautifully remodeled ocean-view condo located in North Shore Kauai's only true beachfront resort. Just steps from a secluded sandy beach and surrounded by the dramatic beauty of the island's lush north coast, this inviting retreat offers the perfect blend of comfort, style, and old-Hawaii charm.

Recently updated and thoughtfully refurnished, this upstairs corner features stunning ocean views, upscale finishes, and a spacious covered lanai where you can relax to the sound of the waves.

Second sleeping area with queen bed and shoji privacy screens

Inside, you'll find a serene and comfortable living space designed to complement the natural beauty outside. The primary bedroom features a king bed and can be separated from the living area with sliding shoji screens that provide privacy while maintaining airflow. A second sleeping area offers a queen bed and similar shoji screens. Please note that these screens provide visual privacy but are not soundproof.

The living and dining areas are comfortably furnished, with large picture windows framing spectacular ocean views. The remodeled kitchen features rich wood cabinetry, subway tile backsplash, and thoughtful details that make meal preparation a pleasure. The updated bathroom continues the elegant design with matching finishes and contemporary touches.

While there are no televisions in the condo, complimentary Wi-Fi allows guests to stream content, stay connected, or work remotely as needed. Many guests appreciate the opportunity to unplug and immerse themselves in the tranquility of Kauai's North Shore.

Resort amenities include a swimming pool, jacuzzi, barbecue grills, and an on-site laundry room. Enjoy a meal next door at Gaia Restaurant, indulge in a treatment at Hanalei Day Spa across the parking lot, or venture a few minutes down the road to the charming town of Hanalei for additional dining, shopping, and island adventures.

A Note About Hanalei Colony Resort

Hanalei Colony Resort was built in a simpler era and intentionally preserves the relaxed spirit of old Hawaii. While beautifully maintained and located directly on the beach, the units are more intimate in size than many modern resorts, with kitchens designed accordingly. To honor that simplicity, you won't find dishwashers or in-unit washers and dryers. Most units, including E3, do not have televisions, though Wi-Fi is available for guests who wish to stay connected.

If you're seeking a tranquil beachfront setting without the crowds, where ocean views, natural beauty, and authentic island charm take center stage, Hanalei Colony Resort E3 is the perfect North Shore escape.

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.

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.

Hawaii Vacation Rental Identification Number TA-030-053-2736-01.
The condo features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a coffee maker and an ironing board.

Property at HCB is a hidden gem on the North shore. This unit was clean and everything worked as expected. The unit has ocean views from the front door, inside and the lanai. In the past we have rented ocean front on this property so we experimented with this unit which is a building behind ocean front (still great ocean views!) and you can still hear the waves surround you which is a great way to fall asleep at night. Don’t expect a/c anywhere on the north shore because the winds keep things cool.

We enjoyed the pool, the hot tub and relished coming back here after a day exploring the North coast. Paradise. We will be back!

Pros:- Location is great! We booked so late this is about 15 minutes from hanalei main restaurants/shops which our group would have found more ideal, but this is still right on a beach, near our favorite coffee shop in kauai (the haven), and a stop within the hanalei initiative so you can easily reach the na pali coast hike, botanical gardens, etc! - Ocean views from the room- Beds super comfortable, sizable condo that can comfortably fit four- Check in process easy, we were notified via text on how to check inNeeds improvement:- General cleanliness - there was mold in the shower, on curtains, lots of dust buildup- Minor repairs needed - screen door was broken and kept banging in the wind. We returned to our condo and found someone had placed a rock to hold it open. Some window paneling also broken- Had difficulty connecting to wifiOverall not a bad stay at all, but for the price we paid I would want an environment that was better maintained and deep cleaned. This felt like a stay somewhere between letting a friend crash at your place and a professional hotel - not quite the resort experience but will get the job done.

Great place!

If you want to escape, this is your place. This unit, even though it’s not oceanfront, is a stone’s throw from the ocean and the lanai has a perfect view of it. This is not an all-inclusive resort and that’s exactly why we stayed there. Secluded, private, and amazing location, as close to the ā€œend of the roadā€ as you can get. Incredible property with a restaurant, small coffee shop and day spa just across the parking lot.
