Hanalei Colony Resort E3: Unique secluded resort directly on the beach, gorgeous apartment inside with dedicated high-speed internet, ocean view and just steps to the sand. Just 15 minutes from shopping and dining in Hanalei! Please be sure to read the full description for all information. Hanalei Colony Resort E3 - completely updated ocean view apartment in north shore Kauai's only true beachfront resort. Dedicated high-speed internet make it a great remote work choice. These unique Hanalei vacation rentals are just steps away from the secluded sandy beach that fronts the property! This lovely upstairs corner condo has been completely remodeled inside and completely refurnished. It's gorgeous and upscale and comfortable, with a large shady lanai and ocean view, all about 30 seconds from the sand. 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 queen bed, and also has sliding shoji screens for visual privacy. 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 lovely remodeled kitchen with upscale touches like subway tile backsplash and rich wood cabinetry. The bathroom has also been completely updated and boasts similar touches of subway tile and rich wood. 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.) In addition to Hanalei Colony Resort E3's beautiful interior and views, and the beach just in front, this Hanalei rental offers additional amenities for guests to enjoy, including swimming pool, jacuzzi, barbecue grills, and guest laundry room. Walk next door to the Opakapaka Bar and Grill or across the parking lot to the Hanalei Day Spa. 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. 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 internet, Kauai is a very remote location and the speed and reliability cannot be guaranteed. A guest laundry room with coin operated washers and dryers is inside the two-story building next to the pool. The cost is $2.50 per load for the washers and $2.50 per load for the dryers. You can buy quarters in the office. The resort shuttle is unfortunately not available to guests in privately managed units. Your unit is privately managed. However, the north shore shuttle stops at the resort and you can purchase a hop-on/hop-off pass in advance online if you'd like to ride.
