We booked knowing from previous reviews that the interior was dated and tired. The view towards Anini beach and the lighthouse was our priority so we booked regardless of that. We didn't regret our decision. The suite was well stocked, although as mentioned, almost everything was outdated/ tired. The location, grounds, view and convenience were perfect, and the beds were also comfortable. On the first day we reported there was NO cold water coming from the kitchen sink faucet. My partner is a contractor and tried everything he could to fix it, but didn't have the tools. They indicated they would send someone, but even after two subsequent reminders, nobody fixed it over our 6 night stay. The combo of no cold water in the kitchen, a very old small dishwasher, and only 4 packets of dishwasher soap turned dishwashing into more of a problem than it should have been. Ideally a new dishwasher would be good, and more dishwasher soap...but it was disappointing that the rental company didn't seem too concerned about the lack of water. But other than that, we found the space cozy and pleasant for our family of four. It wouldn't take too much money or effort for them to make the unit completely problem free. Wifi is slow for those who need fast wifi to work remotely or stream movies, it won't be sufficient.

This property is right off the Sealodge Beach with breathtaking views of the ocean, coast and sunrise right from the condo. Rise an hour before sunrise to see magical colors!! Great surroundings and short drive to Hanalei area. Stocked well with beach towels, chairs, umbrella for use. Easy check-in/out. Highly recommend!!

The condo was in a beautiful and convenient location in Princeville. It had everything we needed to make our week long stay very enjoyable. The owner gave us some great recommendations for places to eat.

My husband and I loved staying in this rental in Princeville. Well described, well equipped, and very comfortable. It was great to have access to beach chairs and umbrella, and the property around the rental was beautiful. We appreciated the quiet spot away from the hubbub. Highly recommend.

The pros: Great location! You get to stay right by the ocean and although there is no AC, cracking open the windows at night gives you all the fresh air you need to get a great nights rest.The cons: This isn't our first time staying at Sea Lodge and we love that area but this particular unit inside is really old and really lacks supplies. When we first open the doors, there were two very big wasps flying around and when we called the property manager to take care of it, they first wanted us to take care of the issue ourselves. We pushed back and to their credit they ended up taking care of it by sending someone out. The property really lacks supplies. There were only 3 spoons and 2 very very tiny bars of soap that we went through quickly and when we asked for more, the property manager told us to go buy our own. I don't expect for the management to just renovate the property because it's very expensive but there are so many things that would be very inexpensive for them to replace out of courtesy and enjoyment for the person staying with very very little out of pocket expense for them.Summary: This isn't our first time staying at a property at Sea Lodge and have always enjoyed staying in the area and will most likely be back again. But compared to the other units we stayed at, this unit is quite outdated and not stocked well.

This place was perfect for our vacation. The views were amazing. The place was located in a very nice area. It was very handy to have a cooler, beach chairs, umbrella and snorkeling gear in the closet. Loved hanging out in the living room with the day bed! We would definitely come back to stay again!

Great condo with beautiful views! Location Is just a small 5-minute drive away to Hanalei Bay. Fit my family comfortably. I have two little kiddos that slept in the loft upstairs. The only thing that was concerning was my 2 year old with access to the stairs but we managed. Communication with management was quick and easy. Thank you again for the hospitality.

Great little condo, updated kitchen and bathroom. Comfortable king bed. Very clean. Absolutely loved the full ocean view from condo and enjoyed the covered deck facing the ocean. Our check in process had good instructions but A5 was somewhat hard to find after dark. Down a steep path, up 3 stairs. Glad my husband could handle the luggage. A5 is marked on a small plaque on the door, inside a screen door. Hard to see at night. Good location close to pickleball, golf, tennis, restaurants, and Foodland Grocery. Path down to the water was fun to take. Loved the quiet Princeville area. Outside of condo buildings need updated, which is happening. Great for 2 people.

I’ve been to Kauai probably close to 20 times over the past 15 years. I have stayed in hotels and condos. This place, however, far exceeds them all. I never want to stay anywhere else when visiting Kauai. The view is absolutely stunning and we couldn’t get enough of it. In fact over half of my pictures were of the view from the windows while sitting in the chair enjoying my coffee. The condo was well supplied for cooking meals. The bed was comfortable and the breeze you get from opening the windows felt amazing. Also being able to use the beach chairs were an added bonus. We absolutely loved our stay here and are already looking at dates to book again. Communication with Linda was great. Any questions that I had were answered quickly. Thank you for an incredible stay!!

Sorry, the burners on the stove are funky. One doesn’t work. The kitchen and pantry area could use a deep clean. FYI, the kitchen floor is spongy and the linoleum is coming up in a few spots. Hard to maintain in a damp environment. Still loved our stay.

Reviewer Comments:
Had a wonderful trip to Kauai and a big part of it was because of this condo that the owner shared with us. We have stayed at other Sea Lodge condo's before but this one couldn't have been much better. The view from every window was incredible. Either the seeing the beautiful sunrise over the ocean in the morning or the beautiful sunsets in the evening. This condo couldn't have been placed any better. It also has plenty of privacy too. We highly recommend Sealodge E7.

Loved the location and amazing views. Rental is starting to be a bit outdated from the listing photos. I had to contact the management company about the extensive mold in the bathroom but they responded quickly. The window that has the cushion you can sit or lay on was super uncomfortable and made my back hurt within 15min of laying on it. We loved seeing whales and birds from the patio. Breeze was nice at night but needed the fans.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The condo was very well equipped and maintained. The non-stop sound of the surf was very relaxing. We spotted several whales throughout our stay. If we return to Kauai someday we definitely will want to stay at this condo. Thank you for your great accommodations.

Condo was very comfortable and the view amazing. Saw whales every day from the balcony.Only problem was dryer didn't work and we were not informed.

The ocean view from the condo is gorgeous and the location is great. However, there are some areas needing improvement. The remodeling missed a few items such significant corrosion of window frames preventing some from opening and making the sliding door very difficult to open and close. There is no table inside for dining and the bar stools are too short for the bar. The kitchen furnishings are a hodgepodge.Most annoying was the noise and vibrations from the power tools used in the renovation of the unit below ours during the day. It cut short our use of the condo during the day. When I contacted the island property manager I was told they were not informed of this. Perhaps if they visited the property more often they would see, hear and feel the renovations below.

Great location as far as the views from every window and lanai. We got to see whales which was a plus. The unit itself is comfortable - the kitchen had great cookware and we ate dinners in. The living room furniture could use some TLC and be updated. Also don’t be surprised by the weather beaten outside - inside is worth every penny for the view.

Located in a great area. We enjoyed listening to the waves every night while we slept. The lanai has an amazing view. We sat out there every morning to watch the sunrise and every night to star gaze. We watched whales and surfers from the balcony. We were worried about no AC but it ended up being just fine with the windows open and ocean breeze. Although it’s an older unit, the property is well maintained and provided all of the amenities we were looking for. We had a great time!

Location on a cliff over the Paicific; listening to crashing waves and watching humpback whales from the balcony (binoculars), simply can’t be beat. Almost perfect. Only downer was the bed is not perfect, a mattress topper from Costco would make all the difference. Otherwise it’s a great property. Clean, modern and well appointed.

My husband and I stayed for 3 nights and wish we could have stayed longer. Don’t think you could ask for a better view. It was so nice seeing the whales from the lanai and listening to the waves crashing. Everything was close by. We did have an issue with the dryer not working which was a bummer since we had a weeks worth of laundry to do. Would definitely stay here again

A fabulous view right on a bluff over the ocean! Property needs a few minor repairs (check the flooring on the lanai) but is compact and great for two people!

We used to live in Princeville and moved back to California. When we come back to visit the island we stay a Sealodge. This condo, by far, is the nicest one we have ever stayed in. It is on the ground floor with a fabulous view. It has been newly painted and refurbished thru out....new king size mattress, great living couch & TV. New washer & dryer. Very clean kitchen & cabinets. Decor is beautiful with many little extras. You won't be disappointed staying in this unit.

We loved our quiet (minus the roosters of course - lol) stay here. The property was clean and just what we needed for a nice relaxing stay. We walked down to the beach multiple times during our stay to sit on the rocks and enjoy watching the waves roll in. It was also nice being so close to the grocery store.

We choose this rental for the view and location, and we are so happy we did. The condo had all of the creature comforts we needed, and we especially enjoyed the balcony for relaxing in the fresh air. The central location on the North Shore was perfect for our needs. Thanks for a great vacation.

View is a 10!! Unit shows its age - scratches on bathroom mirror like someone used scratch pad to clean; shower head crappy; some knives gave off flakes onto food (should be thrown out); large skillet warped; plastic shower curtain so stiff would not adhere to wall to contain water; no propane grill for BBQing on grounds (only charcoal grills - who wants to mess with that on vacation!). Bed was comfortable. Screen door to patio very difficult to open / close (gave up using it).Aloha.
