So nice to be inside and be able to see the ocean as it rains outside. Great place to relax, go for walks on the beach or be a base to explore from. The grill to cook on and the pool and jacuzzi are very nice. My brother has a place a short walk away, so it was very convenient. The restaurant is good especially the fish and chips. My partner and her son, who stayed at another condo there enjoyed karaoke on Saturday night at the bar, they stopped at 10pm. Lucky we had quiet neighbors. The only noise we had sporadically was people locking and unlocking their cars but thatâs not to bad. Being on the top floor is nice too. I would definitely recommend this place.
We have seen the Colony as we have family that lives within walking distance but thought it would be nice to be close by. Beautiful setting and ocean sounds every evening. Its peaceful and the pool area is nice if you wanted to use it. The beach is nice and not crowded. The coffee shop is an added plus. We enjoyed our stay.
Great location! Well kept unit in an older complex.
Overall we were quite happy with this spot. I knew ahead of time that it's an older property, but that said, this particular unit was well kept up (I did not see any other units). The unit, while not large, was larger than I expected with a decent sized seating area/living room. The daybed is set off in a separate area with closet style doors that can be closed to separate it. The listing notes these doors do not go to the ceiling, nor do the doors for the main bedroom area - so do not expect complete privacy if traveling with others. The openings do help with airflow, as do separate ceiling fans in all of these areas. The kitchen is very, very small, but it was sufficient for our needs and had a good variety of kitchen equipment that we needed. The daybed is decent, but fairly firm and not the most comfortable thing I've slept on, but certainly better than most hide-a-beds.
We appreciated that there was a cooler, 4 beach towels and 2 beach chairs to use. Being as this unit that is for 3 people, I do think they need to add a 3rd chair on the lanai, as we would have appreciated all being able to sit out there together. It would have also been nice to have a 3rd beach chair.
This property is directly on a beach, although we thought this area was a little too rough for us to swim (mid-April 2024). There was a spot close that seemed calmer and you can walk the beach a long ways either direction. Tunnels is walkable from here.
A wonderful location, that really is away from it all. It may not be for everyone, but I loved that instead of hearing TVs blaring at night, you could hear people laughing and conversing. And the highlight of the trip was an overnight power outage! Kauai is very dark anyway, but without any artificial lights, it was something else to gaze up at the stars while listening to the waves hammer the beach in front of the resort and the wind whipping around the buildings. I will definitely be back!
