Words cannot accurately describe the views from the condo and the lanai. Sunrises and sunsets are spectacular. Quiet location made for a wonderful trip.

This condo had beautiful views, and was stocked with all we needed to enjoy the beach (chairs, umbrella, small cooler.) Beautiful view of the sunrise in the morning, saw lots of albatross and seabirds flying by. If you walk around to the other side of the condo complex there’s a beautiful view of the sunset. The trail down to sea lodge beach is near this unit, and was an easy hike to a beautiful small beach. However a few things could definitely be better. The unit was not clean. Other than fresh towels and bedding, most of the surfaces need a deep clean/dusting. We did a lot of cleaning when we arrived. With no air conditioning or ceiling fan over the bed the tower fans in the unit were a necessity, but they were very dirty. And this is not the owners fault, but the unit above us had what we assume is a dehumidifier hose running off their balcony that made a lot of noise and would wake us up throughout the night, the water would just drop past our bedroom window to the ground and was quite loud. It was too hot to close the window to block the noise. We did not get a good nights sleep in this condo.

This was our third stay at the E9, but it's been six years since our last stay. It felt like no time had passed in the E9 or with the island. It was like riding a bike. I love the views from every window and watching the sunrise from the lanai. We loved having the beach gear to use plus the washer/dryer comes in handy for packing light. The condo was clean and comfortable. I love that blue couch! There was one thing I needed to message the owner, Chris, about and he was quick to respond. It is reassuring to know if needed he was there to help instead of trying to deal with a corporate owner. I like the personal experience of knowing you can reach out to the owner who is willing to go above and beyond. Thanks again Chris! We will be back!

We lucked out with good weather in the months of Dec and Jan. The property is compact with expansive, breathtaking views! Chris was a great host and we loved the North Shore, so many great places to snorkle and many turtle sightings which was an amazing New Year's gift. We will definitely be back!

First time for us in Kauai. We feel like we wouldn’t change anything about our vacation. Definitely plan on renting a car if you want to check the island out, and plan on one to two hours in the car, depending on where you want to go. But if you want some relaxing days on some world class beaches, I think this the spot. Plus, the Sealodge beach was incredible. And had some of the best snorkeling we had done the entire trip. We will definitely be back!!!!

Everything was perfect about this Sealodge condo! The views are amazing and the place is beautifully and tastefully decorated in tropical style. Love the quiet location with sound of the wind and ocean waves. We had everything we needed to enjoy our stay.

We absolutely loved our stay here. From the minute we walked in we had the "wow" factor looking out over the ocean. We had the sunrise in the morning right out of our window and the sunset just a few steps from our door. The interior was decorated with a wonderful Hawaiian beach decor. All the necessities for a day at the beach were available for our use. We can highly recommend this "home away from home".

We enjoyed our stay and would stay here again. Small but cozy with an incredible view. Hard to find at night so either arrive in daylight or as the directions say have a flashlight handy.

The property is located in Princeville, close to the Princeville Center, Hanalei, and several gorgeous snorkeling beaches, such as Hideaway and Anini. It has all the amenities we needed (and those we didn't know we would!). The photos of the views simply don't do it justice. We had a wonderful time.

THE VIEW!! It’s really everything you want when winding down after a day of adventure in Kauai. We saw whales with the binoculars, we saw sea turtles on the private beach. Every single thing was on point with this property. Thank you so much for the stay, we look forward booking with you again.

The views from this condo are exceptional and you can wake each morning to the sound of ocean waves. It is compact but we’ll organized and is very comfortable for two people. The condo is just as listed and was well equipped. The owner was very responsive and kindly informed us ahead of our trip that the pool would not be available and was being repaired. We appreciated the options he offered. If you want relaxing, beautiful north shore views and breezes this is a great condo. We will be back.

My husband and I just returned from a glorious trip on Kauai, made better by Chris’s lovely condo. As others have said, the views from the condo are incredible. The condo is clean, beautifully decorated and appointed with just the right touches to make a person feel at home. If you like sea breeze and ocean sounds, this condo is for you!! We highly recommend! We will be back.

Easy checkin and property was immaculate and exactly as pictures showed. Beautiful views and quiet condo complex. Had everything you could want in the condo. Found great use of the washer and dryer. I was worried about no air conditioning, but with windows open and the fans, it was very comfortable.
Would definitely stay here again.

We absolutely loved our stay here. The views are unmatched. You can see the Kilauea Lighthouse from one of the picture windows. Amazing ocean views abound. The condo is well appointed with all you’d need. You
canrelax and view the ocean from your pillow in the master, couch or lanai. Quick jaunt to Shops and restaurants. Oh…and the Sealodge beach is a quick jaunt down a jungle trail.. Overall, such a special stay!!!

Clean and inviting home with unique and stunning views as pictured. Beautiful jungle-lined trail access to a private beach was amazing! Terrific snorkeling there and nearby. I rarely say this but I would consider staying at this exact place again. Streamlined check-in process and responsive owner. Ideal for capturing the beauty of Kauai along with recreational activities but with no "touristy" vibe. Strongly recommend.

I work in the vacation rental industry in California, so I am very finicky, and, I know a good deal when I see one. Nice, affordable oceanfront accommodations are very hard to come by anywhere, but this fit the bill. Compared to a 1 bedroom suite just up the road, this was at least 1/2 the cost, with more space and it was literally oceanfront, with stunning views from every room.
The condo was immaculate, and very well stocked including beach chairs, umbrella, cooler and towels. There is
No a/c, but it was very comfortable once the windows were all open, and there were fans provided for extra ventilation.
I loved touring the island, but honestly, my favourite part of every day was sipping morning coffee and evening wine from the lovely, private Lanai. And sleeping at night, listening to the waves crash and feeling the ocean breezes was nothing short of heavenly.
The complex was a short drive from beaches, shops and restaurants, in a very quiet corner of Princeville. Truly the perfect place to call home for a few days and enjoy peace & tranquility.
I’m sad to leave but looking forward to coming back some day.
Mahalo!

We’ve stayed in many vacation rentals and this condo deserves a full rating. The view was true to the photos - spectacular! We’ve never been to Princeville and didn’t know it’s a huge immaculate golf course development right by the ocean. The grounds are beautiful.
The condo is perfect for two people. Why we love it is because the unit is well thought out. The owner stocked the place with care and quality items. It’s unusual but I found everything I needed in the kitchen. The cookware was all in good shape.
Small things that made life easier: covered garbage can, good water pressure in the shower, good hair dryer, in unit washer/dryer, beach chairs, mats, umbrella, cooler, etc. Even the two binoculars were high quality.
The unit was not big but has everything you need. It was so nice to sit by the corner with the two big windows and enjoy the ocean view.
The building is old but the unit is clean.
There’s also a path that takes you on a short hike to a secluded beach.

The million dollar view is worth it alone. The clean hardwood floors. There is no skimping on the kitchen utensils. Location close to the the interesting Kaua'ian town of Hanalei.

The spectacular views, combined with the sound of the crashing waves below made this an absolute dream location. My husband and I spent four days here and wished we could have stayed forever. We enjoyed full, active days all over the island, and this condo was the perfect place to relax and recharge, to sleep and wake to the sound of the surf. Other than one morning of light drizzle, our weather was fantastic, and on that one grey morning we walked up to the shopping center for the most amazing breakfast at The Spot--absolutely worth the long lines! Sealodge Beach down the hiking trail was a magical little slice of paradise, and we hardly saw anyone else there when we popped down. The condo itself was spotless and had everything you might need--beach chairs, towels, binoculars to watch for whales from the deck, even a yoga mat. Thank you Chris, for sharing this very special place. We hope to be back!

Small space but had everything we needed. Kitchen had everything we needed including containers for leftovers. Beautiful views!
The exterior of the building was dated/rough and we had a difficult time finding the condo. Building has no exterior numbers.
Once we found the condo and settled in, we had a wonderful time and felt at home.

My wife and I stayed here for the first half of our vacation for our 10 year anniversary and it was amazing. Conveniently located with great hikes all around you. The property was better than expected and everything went super smooth. The binoculars were awesome to watch rays and sharks/dolphins in the bay from the living room. We would definitely stay here again!

This was our third time staying in Sealodge E9 and it was just as glorious as the first time! The ocean views, constant breeze and relaxing sounds of waves crashing and wind rustling through the palm trees just can’t be beat. We love staying in the north shore for the cooler weather and intermittent rain (coming from dry LA!). The apartment is a perfect place to relax after a day of snorkeling at nearby Anini beach, exploring beautiful Hanalei, or to just relax with a book on a rainy day. Chris is always easy to reach and responsive. This is a dream vacation rental!
Chenin H.

The view and the sounds of the ocean can’t be beat. My boyfriend and I were debating between Princeville and the south side of the island, and so glad we decided on this unit! Close to the northside beaches and the vibe we were looking for. Will definitely stay here again.

This was perfect spot for our honeymoon stay. The views are absolutely stunning! We loved waking up to the ocean every morning and being able to sit on the porch. The kitchen and laundry are super convenient and since we flew in it was wonderful the unit provided beach chairs to borrow. We were worried about the fact there was no AC, but multiple fans were provided, Kauai’s weather is gorgeous, and the winds were great. We would definitely stay here again when we return!

My husband and I stayed at Sealodge E9 for 2 weeks in June and would highly recommend this property. It was immaculate and well stocked with everything needed during our stay. I was especially impressed with the quality and condition of all kitchen supplies .
The view is breathtaking and can be enjoyed from living room, kitchen and bedroom.
Chris, the owner, was extremely accommodating , responsive and helpful in every way.

It is a cozy one bedroom with awesome views. Right in Princeville and walking distance to a couple nice little beaches. awesome trade winds kept the place nice and cool, even in mid-summer.

Everything about this property was amazing. The view was literally the best thing about the condo. It was quiet, clean, and in a beautiful neighborhood, and was fully equipped with everything you would possibly need. The north shore of Kauai is magnificant. I will 110% stay in this rental our next visit to this island. We woke up every morning to watch the sun rise. Which, BTW was magical. We were not even in the least bit sad that we didn't see much of the sunset because the sunrise view from the condo was jaw dropping. The communication with the owner was great as well. Very nice guy! I was sad to leave.
Maria O.
June 2021
This place is exactly as advertised, cozy with amazing views!! We loved the Sealodge beach near by and would love to go back to Kauai and to this property!! The only wish my boyfriend had is to have AC as he gets easily hot, but for me the ocean breeze was just fine.

My husband and I loved this unit with the beautiful views. It is one of the cleaniest and well maintained units we have ever stayed at. It had every amenity you could possibly need.
The property was easy to find thanks to the wonderful directtions and well marked signage.
The grounds of the unit were beautiful and very clean, I don't know if it was the time of year; however, we did not hear any neighbors or other occupants the entire time of our stay.. It was very peaceful.
My only suggestion would be a couple more bath towels. Two doesn't seem enough for two people, I personally don't like sharing! And again, it may have been the time of year, but there was not alot of circulation in the condo even with the windows open.
Overall if we were to visit again we would stay at this unit with no hesitations. Thank you for your hospitality!

We had a great time. The unit we rented was nicely decorated and the kitchen was well supplied with cookware and dish ware.
The unit itself was older compared to properties in the area There was No AC. We felt the unit could use some updates in bathroom, More comfortable sheets (they were rough) and also to upgrade their windows and screens.
Pool area advised to shower off sand but could not find any where to do this. Well worn pool chairs and also no BBQ facilities.
Beautiful properties in the neighborhood and this one appeared to be the oldest.
Wonderful view of the ocean though, especially sunrises.
You had to go watch a sunset elsewhere.

My wife and I stayed at this condo for a week. When we arrived the views shown in the pictures are exactly what we saw. The ocean breeze kept the condo cool and enjoyable. The bed was comfy and the space was roomy enough for two people. The pool was enjoyable and we never saw anyone else using it. The unit was quiet and pretty private.
We only had one minor issue with the toilet but it was fixed right away after we called the property management company.
In the end what a great place to say. I have already had several family and friends ask me where I stayed and how they can stay there. If we ever return to Kauai this will be our first choice.
Thanks again.

What a treat this place was to call home for a week. It almost felt like living in a lighthouse: perched on the cliff, just wind and sea and palms. Small, but perfect for a couple, with super-convenient amenities (we used the kitchen for breakfasts and a few dinners; the washer / drier were great to have, too) - and spotlessly clean! Tastefully tropical decor, beautiful away-from-it-all location. (I usually get bit by every bug known to humankind, and never got a bite inside the apartment - good screens!). Beach chairs and towels were nice to have there; we could have used a beach parasol for those rare sunny days. We wholeheartedly recommend Sealodge E9. Can't wait to come back.

My wife and I have stayed in a number of VRBO properties from Rome to the Rocky Mountains and this place was without a doubt the nicest we have ever rented. Conveniently located in a quiet complex Sealodge offered everything you typically look for in a rental property. Great view, wonderfully maintained, nicely furnished and well appointed with all the amenities you could possibly need for an extended stay. Above all, it was spotlessly clean which we place very high on our list of priorities. The kitchen was equipped with quality appliances and a full assortment of pots and pans and cooking utensils which was a major plus for us since we prefer to prepare our own meals. We'd read several less than glowing reviews on other units at Sealodge so be aware that the comfort level of individual units varies widely. This unit is top quality and perfect for a couple.
The complex grounds and surrounding area were nicely landscaped and we thoroughly enjoyed long morning walks in the local neighborhoods. Sealodge Beach, just a short hike away, was a perfect escape and typically had to be shared with no more than 2 or 3 other people. A full service grocery store is located within a short drive of the condo and became a convenient stop on the way home from our daily excursions.
We found the north shore to be our favorite part of the island and were glad we decided to spend our full two weeks near Princeville, Hanalei Bay and the Na Pali Coast. We could not have been happier with our accommodations.

Sealodge E9 was the perfect place for our honeymoon. The views from the living room, balcony and bedroom were all spectacular. The location of this condo within Sealodge was really nice, as it's on an end, and very quiet. We occasionally saw others around the parking lot and pool, but we never heard noise from anyone while in the condo. The unit was nicely furnished and had everything we needed during our stay. Everything was clean and appeared to be well-cared for. My husband was concerned about the lack of air conditioning, but the windows let in a nice breeze most of the time, and there were several fans, both ceiling and portable, that made it a non-issue. The property management company was easy to work with, and we really liked that the door had a keypad lock, so we didn't have to worry about carrying around and potentially losing a key.

My husband and I just got back from 2 weeks in Hawaii, having spent 5 nights at this condo. It is absolutely as pictured - amazing view in a beautifully decorated, well-equipped condo. Everything we needed was at the condo, including beach chairs and binoculars. This condo had more windows than most of the others in the complex, as most did not have the additional large window facing the ocean. We would definitely stay at this condo again!
Lori G.
June 2015
Have nothing bad to say about this rental. Perfect for couples. Spent our honeymoon here. It was clean, affordable, well maintained, and the views are spectacular! It was dark when we arrived and we woke up the the most amazing sunrise view right over the ocean! Added bonus that it's a corner unit so you get even better view.
February 2015
The view from this condo is amazing. We were fortunate to come right around a full moon and each evening we watched the full moon rise over the ocean from the east facing window. The sun rises were also lovely. The condo was spotlessly clean and had everything we might need from beach chairs to measuring cups. There are a couple pairs of excellent binoculars which enabled us to watch the whales swimming and breaching. The owners clearly tried to think of everything that a guest might need or use. The washer and dryer came in very handy with all the hiking we did. This is a perfect spot for a couple or a single person. The proximity to Hanalei was wonderful and it was easy to go into town or if we needed something from the grocery store it was less than five minutes away in Princeville.
We would return in a heartbeat any time we could.

Spectacular view!! The view of the ocean is breathtaking. Upon arrival, the outside of the condo looks like very similar to homes on Cape Cod with the weathered shingles. The property is well maintained. We were very impressed with the inside of the accommodations. It looks like it had recently been updated and was spotless!! Special added feature was the new washer and dryer (so excited to come home with no laundry). We would definitely revisit these accommodations in the future!!
