incredibly convenient and beautiful stay!! Can’t express how amazing this rental was. Equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay and with such a beautiful view! Only 15 mins away from multiple north short beaches and restaurants. 10/10 stay.

We loved out stay here! The location was so peaceful and we loved out morning walks on the beach. It was so close to the national park and drives to Hanalei bay for food, shops, and the beach. The lush rainforest feel was incredible. we enjoyed nice rains from the porch and beautiful sun rises and sunsets. Had everything we needed and the fresh air from the windows was lovely.

The location of unit with proximity to the beach is heavenly!!The host was clear with instructions and was available if needed.A huge bonus was NOT having a television which made the stay more enjoyable and relaxing.The kitchen is well appointed.Aesthetically, the rusticity of the unit is charming and comfortable. We look forward to staying here again!!My only constructive criticism/suggestions: A deep clean of unit at periodic intervals with special attention to the kitchen appliances (ie) top of refrigerator, hood vent (I cleaned the grease off the exterior of the hood) cabinet fronts,

This unit is no where near as well kept as other units within the resort. It feels as if the owners have neglected it. Our stay was interrupted several times with maintenance workers as they were discovering a leak from the second bathroom into the unit below. Making the second bathroom inoperable for most of our stay. The unit has no closet space. Just a small dresser in the second bedroom. There is a table on the lanai, but the soffit has seen better days. It appeared to be almost rotten and falling off. All of the furniture is pretty beaten up and dated.All of the towels were stained.And the day before we left the disposal in the kitchen sink went out and the kitchen sink was forever backed up. I made the mistake of booking this unit through a rental company. Unlike all of the other reservations that I have made at this property in prior years. We will be back, but I will be more careful when making the reservation.

Nice unit with an ocean view. Very close to Tunnels Beach where you can walk thru a cave. The restaurant onsite is not operational, but you can get coffee in the morning. (Our unit did not come with a starter supply of coffee as promised).Our favorite thing during our stormy stay was the pool and hot tub. The pool temperature was divine! So warm and amazing. We all loved it. FYI there are stairs to the unit. We appreciated the fans available for white noise as the rain was LOUD.

If you are looking for a private, beautiful beach, look no more. This is a beautiful spot and steps from the door. If you are looking for an updated, lively resort, this is not the spot. This is an older, quiet condo complex. It is toward the end of the road north of Hanalei. There isn't a lot close by. The unit has an amazing view of the ocean and you can fall asleep to the waves every night. It is older and shows signs of wear. Being this close to the ocean, you should expect that. I do agree with other reviewers, it could use a good deep cleaning. Also, be aware, there is no TV. This can be a good thing though, but if you are wanting to catch a big game, you won't be able to do so here. We enjoyed our stay here and got lots of rest and relaxation. Pool area has been updated and is very nice-complete with covered BBQ and hang out spot. Not sure if we'd stay again, but we are glad we tried this area.

My wife and I absolutely loved this property. Our only complaint was one of the blinds wouldn’t pull down. AC would be nice but it’s not a necessity. This is the only place we will stay on Kaua’i, we loved it that much. We drove around to look at other places we thought about staying and were so happy that we chose HCR. Sure there’s other fancier places to stay but we came to Kauai hoping not to get the touristy feeling. HCR was nothing but peaceful and relaxed and we can’t wait to come back! We are already looking to book again for next year.

The whole island is absolutely stunning; the Hanalei Colony was like the icing on a cake. It's in such a beautiful part of the island. I especially appreciated the bed and bedding. I'm probably a bit too picky about pillows, sheets, etc. but all of the bedding in our apartment was VERY comfortable.

Well away from the "crowds" of Hanalei, this second floor location was perfect for the two of us. As others have noted, the ocean-adjacent location has taken a bit of a toll on some elements (like hardware), but the property was clean, the grounds immaculate, and the view to the breaking waves amazing. Not fancy upscale, but comfortable, homey, and (for us) just right. Kitchen was reasonably well equipped - we cooked all but one meal during our stay. Pool / hot pool / grill area lovely.

The property is situated in a great area. We spent our time within north shore area. This property is needing some attention due to its proximity to the ocean. The usual battle with rust and the need to lubricant Cabernet hinges before they break . It appears that the sliding doors to the main bedroom never were modified after the flooring installation. It did not matter to us but it might bother those who expected to close off the bedroom for privacy.
A great place to sit and relax with good food and the best shave ice I have ever had on Kauai and Kona Hawaii.

Staying here felt like we were at the end of the world, a healthy drive away from everything. We really appreciated that Opakapaka Grill and morning coffee shop were right on the property so we didn't have to drive. Our place had a lovely view of the beach from the big picture windows, and although the unit was a little "tired" the furnishings were comfortable, attractive and completely adequate.

The view was amazing! We could see, hear, and smell the ocean. The room was very small for the 4 of us, but having two bathrooms was a plus! It definitely needs a deep clean and some repairs. The doors to the one bedroom were off the track and couldn't close. There was a considerable amount of grimy dust on the wood shutters throughout the room. I think it might benefit from a dehumidifier as all the drapes were damp and musty smelling. We had a bit of difficulty getting there at night. You could not see which building was which. We had to call the property and ask for help. They weren't very nice at first because we did not book through them, but they did help us.

Wind song and waves make it obvious you’re not in Kansas anymore. Wake up to sunrise over the ocean and Princeville across the water. Quiet surroundings encourage your morning preferred hot beverage on your private lanai. Charming restaurant with good food just across the lawn. Spa offering wonderful beachside massages by appointment.

We LOVED the beautiful views and easy few steps to the beach, the well manicured gardens were a treat, the pool/hot tub were better than expected. The condo was very comfortable, had everything we needed. We used the blow up bed provided. Loved having 2 bathrooms. We utilized the boogie boards and beach bag provided every day. We ate at the on site restaurant a couple of times when we didn’t feel like driving back to town. Our week was pure bliss! 4 happy campers. The location of this condo couldn’t have been better for all the best hiking and beaches. We would definitely rent this unit again! Thank you so much!

The location was nice, very quiet. It would be an awesome place to stay with a little better weather. During the rainy/windy season it isn’t ideal. The bed needs replaced it has a sink hole in the middle. It could use some updates as well as cleaned really well. The unity had built up dust (especially lamps, top of fridge etc.) and we didn’t even cook in the kitchen because it was just kind of gross. Maybe just a plumbing issue but the drains didn’t work well nor did the toilets.

The units are older & hard to keep up with the conditions, but we knew what to expect as we have stayed here many times before. The sink & bathtub drain in the front bathroom are very slow. The lanai doors are very hard to slide open. The unit could use a kitchen sheers, ice bucket, pizza cutter, pitcher & a strainer. Also it would be great to use the resort shuttle! Mahalo

Second floor condo had a beautiful ocean view but could use some updating. Mattress on the bed is saggy and needs to be replaced. Pillows are terrible - super spongy. One of the toilets had trouble flushing. Kitchen and bathrooms were not as clean as they should be. Kitchen appliances (i.e. fridge and stove) were rusted and needed cleaning. Good kitchen supplies including dishes and pots/pans. Easy check in and check out.

The condo was wonderful and was very clean. As a very frequent visitor to Kauai we selected this location since it is only one mile from Tunnels beach and the second time we have stayed here. We were really happy to find beach chairs and an umbrella in the unit along with a small beach bag which we didn't use. The restaurant that is located on the grounds was really great and the staff were friendly and did a great job. We plan on going back to the same unit again in the near future.

The location of this unit is exceptional with a beautiful view and breezy all day and night. Bed and furnishings were all clean and comfortable. Nice beach amenities with the unit, beach chairs, towels, pool noodles, small cooler. The pool is new and beautiful. The grill area adjacent to the pool got crowded around dinner time and into the early evening with larger groups having parties. The grills were accessible but any chance of dining poolside after 4:30 pm was nil as the groups lingered and had parties until well after dark. The majority of people staying at this resort were respectful and quiet.
