Enjoyed Secluded Beach-Front Condo

Spent a week enjoying this spacious, recently updated condo steps from a beautiful, uncrowded beach on the north shore of Kauai. Communication with the rental co. was prompt & helpful, and the condo was clean, comfortable & well-equipped, including beach chairs and a cooler to borrow. Would love to come back again and highly recommend. perfect for a couple or parents w/1-2 children.

On the Beach

There are problems with the sliding doors, screens of the main deck area,.... these have been a problem for a long time and the maintenance is not done as you can see alot of debris in the tracks. For the price the place should be immaculate. Even though you are on the ocean, windows that give you the view should have been cleaned for that daily price. Even a few times a week or the tools to do it yourself at least available. Dissapointed, that i s what you are there for the view. The chairs on the deck are the worst in the resort and not comfortable at all. straight back old wood chairs..... really.... for the price?

Relaxing Ocean Front Condo

We had a wonderful stay in this ocean front condo. It was a beautiful location just as described and pictured. If you are looking for quiet beauty steps away from the beach this property will not disappoint.

Quiet and Relaxing Retreat

We really enjoyed our stay at Hanalei Colony Resort G1. Great views of the ocean and mountains and so close to the beach you we were able to relax to the sound of the waves day and night. Whale watching from the deck was great! We will be back someday!

Perfect location!

This unit's location was exactly what I was hoping for and would recommend it to anyone wanting views and convenient beach access. The interior was ready for a remodel, but was comfortable, clean, and functional. (Who goes to Kauai to stay inside anyway?) We will definitely try to stay in this particular condo again!

Nirvana found in Haena

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This site keeps us coming back to Kauai as often as possible. Where else can you sit on your lanai for sunrise and later in the day walk 1/2 mile to watch the sun set in the sea.

Perfect Location, Walk Onto The Sand

A nice condo in our favorite location. Not a luxury condo but clean and comfortable. Property managers were helpful and available. Great snorkeling 200 yards down the beach to the west.

Beautiful Stay!

A Fantastic place to stay we would book again in a heartbeat. Other reviewers complained of it being dated which was true but everything was clean and everything worked. Honestly, if the manufacture date of the kitchen sink is your vacation focus, you need to do some soul searching! And what better place to do that than literally steps from the beach!

Jungle meets ocean!

Amazing location. Everything was as advertised. Just wished the sliding glass doors would have been cleaned for our arrival and could use a table on the patio.

Colony is nice

It's not a high-end resort, but not low end either. Not as quiet as we'd like (husband and wife fighting next door, people above our unit stomping back and forth all hours of the night and day) but hey, we're in Kauai, right? Grateful to be here!

MUST STAY HERE - paradise!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: THIS is what people think of when they say the word "Vacation" ... the sound of the ocean, waking up to a view most only dream of seeing with sleepy eyes. Stars for miles at night. All I've done since we left if try to arrange for our return. We loved everything about this place. :) Tip: grab groceries on your way :)

Beautiful Beachfront

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This unit has terrific views and is super well located for those wanting an end-of-the-road experience. The space is great, with partitions to create two 'bedrooms' with each one having its own bath.This beach is very windy, all the time, so plan on spending your beach time mostly somewhere else, and because of the beachfront location, many of the hardware items in the unit are a bit creaky and difficult to operate (the slide panels, folding door partitions, etc). Overall a terrific stay and place to stay.

Renovation sorely needed

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We love the location but it looks like its been years since any renovation has been done to this unit. Bathtub rusty. everything metal has rust. Furniture looks original from the 1970's.

Amazing Location and View

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This property had an amazing view as you are literally steps away from the ocean. We could not swim or go into the water in this area because of the strong currents. Hanalei Bay for swimming and Anini Beach for snorkeling were a short drive away. The condominium was large and sufficient for our needs. It is old and because it is close to the ocean things are rusted and in need of repair. The lanai porch light did not work which was a bummer, but everything else that needed repair was insignificant. There were plenty of supplies (bring your own bath soap) and it was clean enough for us. This condominium is all about the location and the view.

Incredible location, decent condo

Location. Windows open, ocean putting us to sleep, and walking distance (on the beach) to so many great beaches for swimming or snorkeling, including Tunnels. Convenient restaurant on site and excellent coffee shop. Everyone is very friendly. Important to note that this is remote. It suited us perfectly, but if you are looking for more pools, poolside bar, other resort amenities that come with that word, you won't find them here. This particular condo is tired for sure; updates need to happen. Management was very receptive when we gave feedback, noting that updates are in the future plan. Hopefully soon! The kitchen was well stocked and there were plenty of towels (including beach) and bedding. There were also excellent guidebooks about Hanalei and Kauai that were super helpful.

Can’t Beat This Location

Our family had a great stay here over the 2022 holiday season. We’ve stayed on the property before but not in this unit. If you’re looking to stay on the beach, I don’t think you can get a better location on the North Shore. The unit & entire property is in a fantastic location. You lanai is feet from the beach. It’s sunrises, sunsets, and sun, sand & water all day. There is also about 2-plus miles of walkable beach right outside the door. Additionally, the property has a very nice pool & hot tub area. The unit itself was in good shape - kitchen worked well for family meals. The overall location is a great one for getting away from the crowds but still being driveable to Hanalei, Princeville & other North Shore locations. I’d caution anyone looking for the big resort experience with lots of luxury amenities and activities (where you never have to leave the property). This is not that same experience. If you’re looking for somewhere to just get away, have unbeatable access to the beach as well as everything the North Shore has to offer, I definitely recommend this property.

Disappointed with unit condition

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We love this property and it is the third time we have stayed here. The view is amazing and we love being in this quiet area of the island. We were quite surprised by the condition of the unit. Many of the cabinet doors were locked understandably but those that were available to us, especially the closet in the bedroom was crammed full of items. The condition of the floor, appliances, and plumbing fixtures were rusted and in need of repair. The lining on the lounge chairs was disintegrating and falling off of the chairs. I am happy to send photographs. I would recommend the property but not this unit

Right on the beach!

This condo is literally steps from the beach - it’s the best location of a condo I have ever seen in Hawaii! There are views of the emerald green mountains and the ocean all at once from every window and the lanai, that are literally breathtaking. I can’t recommend this condo enough! We hope to come back again asap. The location is remote - which is what we love. It’s a 15 minute drive to Hanalei if you want to shop/get food. Also Hanalei Bay is a great place to watch sunset. Condo faces east so you will have gorgeous sunrises. Tunnels beach is a 3 minute drive. If you’re like me, you search online for that perfect condo for weeks and read tons of reviews. Here are a few things I noticed about this condo. The patio furniture was not the same as the pictures and was hard and uncomfortable. The beach chairs aren’t super comfy. There is a little rust everywhere but I’ve learned that is literally unavoidable in this lush part of the island, and it didn’t bother us at all. The beach towels were very stained. The kitchen is small but functional and had everything we needed to cook our meals at home. Bed was comfy. No AC but had lots of fans. If you want “posh” this is not for you. Overall, expect it to be a little dated, but the location and view supersedes all of that and make this property a GEM! Highly recommend it!

View is incredible

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property location was incredible and the view from the room was great. If you need a property that is updated, clean, and comes with things you need for the week this is NOT the property for you. We emailed to get a frying pan and garbage bags that were suppose to come with unit and we received an email response but nothing was ever done and we were asked to change garbage each day. Kitchen and items provided were not satisfactory if you plan to cook. Instructions for unit and guest care was different from rental company agreement, guest book by owner, and sign on fridge. We were not sure what they wanted the guest to do, so we did our best to be good guests at departure. Fire Alarm - Broken, Dust on dividers, floor dirty, bathrooms tubs and kitchen appliances rusted, screens did not lock, etc.....furniture is at least 20 years old, looks ok but definitely not comfortable. Outdoor furniture was old and for smaller folks. I expected more for 500.00 a night. The pictures of the unit were misleading as that was not the outdoor furniture at the unit. We stayed 5 days and wish we had only stayed 2-3. If you are only coming for the view and location and do not care about the inside then this is for you.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our second time at the unit. G1 is rather a simple basic place to stay at one of the best locations in the island. There is no AC, but you can count on constant ocean breeze that is more than comfortable. The property management was accommodating and pleasant. We enjoyed daily morning and evening walks, sometimes all the way to Ke’e Beach. We saw Hawaiian monk seals, turtles, interesting pathways to cross streams. Night sky filled with stars and stars is another thing we loved at G1.
