Wow, you'll have this fabulous north shore beach all to yourselves!!! July 1 marks the date our Hanalei Colony Resort rentals re-open to guests - and for a limited time we'll have a special rate available. For a year now, the North Shore past Hanalei has been closed to everyone except local residents. Wildlife, like fish and sea turtles, has returned and is flourishing. Beaches are uncrowded, and gone are the mile-long lines of cars as you approach the Haena beaches. With the reopening of the Kuhio Highway in May, there will be some permanent changes to restrict both the number of vehicles and the number of visitors permitted. You can be one of the select few enjoying the new North Shore. This is a remarkable opportunity! The Hanalei Colony Resort as a whole will reopen on Jan 1, 2020. Guests at our condos at the resort from July through December will be among just a tiny handful of visitors, and will be able to enjoy the beach in virtual solitude. Resort amenities (laundry room and pool) will be unavailable, but you'll have one of the most beautiful beaches in the world all to yourselves. It's like going back in time 50 years! 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 sleeper sofa, giving you the option to sleep two additional people You can use the room as a living area or office space if it's a working vacation for two. It 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 touche like subway tile backsplash and rich wood cabinetry.

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.)
