My wife and I loved the property. A couple things I would do to make it a better stay. The bed was very uncomfortable and hard in some spots. We didn’t get a comfortable nights sleep. I would fix the curtain rod and draperies, especially in the bedroom. The curtains wouldn’t close so there was no privacy in the evening. Other than that, we loved it! Hopefully next year we can book it again.

Right on the water! Beautiful views and a lovely ocean breeze. We had everything we needed, chairs, an umbrella, towels, a COOLER (which was GREAT). Clean and COMFORTABLE! I loved the little extras too, like the extra hangers, icecream scoop and the vase (had I seen that sooner I would have bought some of those amazing flowers at Foodland for it). Super close to Hanalei and lots of good food choices near by. We wish this little VRBO was ours! We miss it and wouldn't hesitate to rent it again!

View! The view was beautiful! Amazing ocean views from all rooms! So glad we prioritized view in a rental - this place really delivered!Location was ideal for exploring and adventuring on the north end of the island. Amenities are close: Princeville stores, Hanalei, lots of activities. You can walk to a snorkel cove/beach from the condo on a trail. Lots of others nearby with a short drive. The bedrooms were comfortable and two bathrooms & showers was great! The window bed was great too - plenty comfortable! Sheets for the window bed were difficult to find and only sorta fit - but worked okay once we found them.Lots of bath & hand towels 4 beach towls which was really nice! Washer & dryer in the condo is great!! Dryer doesn't dry fully, but having them was ideal for a longer trip!Communication & maintenance was lacking. The dishwasher was full of dirty standing water when we arrived. We informed right away & it took them 5 days to come & then they just put an "out of order" sign on it. This was okay, but would have been really difficult if it were something more necessary like the fridge or a bathroom. Also, we got caught on the other end of the island during a tsunami warning the very last night - I called, texted, and messaged that night requesting late check-out due to this, and they never responded.

Very nice ocean front stay in Princeville. Great outside space to watch the sunrise. Access to enter was easy. Comfortable. Having the cooler and beach chairs and towels was a nice added touch. Thank you!

The condo was clean and located in a quiet, safe neighborhood. Check-in was smooth and exactly as described, and we had no issues accessing the unit. It was great to have a washer and dryer in the unit, and the Wi-Fi was fast and reliable—one of the standout positives.Unfortunately, the unit needs significant attention and updates. The microwave was rusted, chipped, and smelled terrible. The shower controls were reversed (hot is cold, cold is hot). While the listing notes there’s no A/C, we were surprised by the total lack of airflow—even with windows open and the wind direction in our favor.The fridge/freezer took over 24 hours to cool, the oven never reached 425F, and the kitchen lacked many basic items we’re used to seeing in vacation rentals. Several lights didn’t work, and we had to purchase batteries for non-working remotes.The bed and pullout were both uncomfortable, and bedding/pillows felt worn and tired. The “bedroom” is separated by only a thin fabric pull-door with no handle or lock, so privacy is very limited. Bathroom towels were fine, and there was no mold, though we did notice occasional bugs.Outdoor gear was also in poor condition: beach chairs, fans, and patio furniture were all falling apart. One standing fan squeaked constantly.Parking was easy, and the host was responsive when we reached out about the pool closure (due to algae), which reopened the next day as promised.While this unit has potential with some investment and care, we would not

Great views. We ate breakfast every morning on the deck as well as sat there every evening. Bright and spacious with two places to sleep in such a way that two people can each be in their own space. The building is next to the pool & near everything we wanted to do on the north shore. I loved that all the windows were open when we arrived so it was cool and not stuffy. The kitchen and bathroom windows have views of the mountains, while the others have views of the sea. There was a fresh wrapped sponge and a full paper towel roll by the kitchen sink & plenty of TP in the bathroom. It was also great to have a washing machine, especially the rinse and spin cycle. We didn't use the dryer; on plastic hangers everything dried overnight with the good ventilation. I liked being on the top floor too as no one could walk by it felt very private. Beautiful grounds too.

Great place in a nice location with stunning views, the property doesn’t have AC but it’s very well ventilated :)Place offers a lot of things to use on the beach like an umbrella, chairs, cooler, etc. There is a washing and drying machine, equipped kitchen and they provide mostly all the needed stuff, only missed shampoo :(Checking process was great, even though they didn’t answer my check out request, all the communication was clear. I defiently would recommend.

Thus unit is located in a nice little corner overlooking the mountains and the ocean. The room is clean and with enough space for 3 ppl. The Sealodge is cute and quiet. All of Princeville is great, but the best of Kauai is outside the resort villas. It does not have AC, but with the breeze and fans the nights are chill.

The view from the living room was heavenly, the sunrises were amazing. There were beach towels, beach chairs, etc for our use. We have stayed there many times over the years, and it felt like our home away from home. Thank you John and Jan!

The views are incredible from this property. The interior is dated and run down. The kitchen, bathroom, and mattress are in bad shape. We have stayed in other Sealodge properties that were dated as well, but they were not this run down. If not for the view, I would give this property a very poor rating.

The North Shore and this condo have our hearts! We loved waking up to the sounds of the ocean every morning. We sat on the patio looking out over the ocean and watched the sunrise each morning! The condo is great, but the views are better! We stayed part of our trip in this condo and the other part of our trip right on Poipu beach. We spent the second half of our trip thinking about the views from the Sea Lodge and the North Shore.The condo set up was perfect for us. There were two separate bedrooms and bathrooms. The kitchen was great, and it was well stocked with everything we needed. Every single room had a view of the ocean!

Princeville is a gem of a location, and this condo is situated high on a bluff above the ocean. Sunami concerns are not a problem here, (There was a warning while we were traveling, and I was pleasantly unconcerned!) Morning sunrise celebrated by roosters is delightful. The condo itself is aging a tad, and they have the window in the bedroom sealed shut. No ocean breeze to be heard or felt from there. But the view remains! You will definitely use the fan provided as it gets hot. We did experience a downpour, and the window is likely sealed to keep water out. The kitchen has what you will need, although the Teflon frying pan needs to be replaced. Lots of scratches. There is salt and we left some agave. No other items like olive oil or spices for cooking. The washer and dryer will be appreciated. They provide three packets of laundry soap. Explore the beach trail nearby! It is an adventure and one not for the faint of heart, especially after rain. That said, the beach is magical. Snorkeling supplies and chairs are waiting for a trip to another beach. Our favorite is Mahala'a where Gilligan's Island was filmed. Just make sure to watch for high tide as the river rolling to the beach can get rough to cross. Enjoy!

Location is fantastic, sometimes pictures make things look better than they are but in this case the pictures don't do the view justice. Excellent view of the ocean beautiful place to watch the sunset. The condo is nice for two people. My only suggestion would be to update the bathroom area. It's not as nice as the rest of the condo but certainly sufficient. We had a great time and enjoyed to stay

This condo was in a beautiful area with a magnificent view. We really enjoyed the sunrises and the sunsets. So close to lots of different restaurants and towns and beaches. The little private beach was a really nice walk and we enjoyed a whole day relaxing there. I especially enjoyed falling asleep with the soothing sounds of the ocean coming through the window. There was a really nice breeze. Highly recommend this property

The view from our unit couldn't be beat - mutliple windows all facing the ocean. Sea Lodge is an older property and in need of some repair. The king bed in the bedroom is great, but the "bed" by the window is not an actual mattress, it is very hard and not good for sleeping. Furniture was worn and not very clean, window screens were torn and taped, light/fan in the bathroom is handing from wires. Just an older unit in need of some TLC.

Reviewer Comments:
The location and the view from lanai are impeccable, the nearby beach is gorgeous, and the unit was clean, however, we would not choose to go back to this unit. We were a group of 5, but there was not a matching set of almost any plates, bowls, and glasses. The glass door to lanai was heavy (rusted?) and hard to shut, The screen entrance door kept slamming and did not stay shut. There were ants, depending on the time of day, swarming around the garbage bin and the kitchen sink. As someone also from Hawaii, I understand the pests are unavoidable, but just a couple of baits are not enough to get rid of the them.Also, the construction is underway. We were out almost all day, so we were not bothered. But for someone who would like to relax in the unit during the day, it might be a distraction. It is a pity as the unit could have been so much better if there had been a little more TLC.

It was a great location with the best view! It had everything we needed and there was good communication from the hosts. The only thing we ran into was having to move the bed in the loft as it was too long to fit the direction that it was located in so it was turned 90deg.

This listing was perfect for my husband and I. We loved the location in princeville. Really close to nice restaurants and a grocery store. And really easy access to hanalei bay which is gorgeous. We also loved that there was a path right next to the building that went down to a gorgeous lookout to watch the sunset. The condo was great we both loved the little couch bed by the window it was so relaxing for after the beach. The place also had two Tommy bahama chairs and an umbrella which came in super handy and helped us save money on our trip. Even though the condo was fully air conditioned it had a unit that was attached to a window. It worked well for us it was cool in the morning and night but our only complaint is it didn’t really reach into the bedroom area so it was a little hot and stuffy at bedtime but not unbearable for us we had two fans on us that were provided in the condo. We had an amazing stay we loved the place we got it was perfect for a couple of two!

The location cannot be beat. You feel like you have your own dedicated slice of paradise for the duration of your stay. The condo is well appointed, comfortable, and those views!!! The uninterrupted morning rainbows were magical. There is absolutely no need to worry about no AC - with the ceiling fans and the ocean breeze it is always the perfect temp. Leila was a responsive host and we were very thankful for her creating this opportunity to share her space. Mahalo!

What an amazing place! It's even better than is shown in the photos. It's such an incredibly peaceful and relaxing setting. Saw gorgeous sunrises and/or sunsets from the rooms plus the terrace and out on the bluff. From the condo you can see all the way to the Kilauea Lighthouse and Wildlife Refuge, which is a wonderful place to visit. When we hiked down to the incredibly lovely Sea Lodge Beach, we felt like we'd arrived in paradise So peaceful, not crowded, and some of the best snorkeling we found on the island. The hike was also much easier than I had expected, as a woman in my 70's in moderate shape. You're also very close to Anini Beach and the shuttle to Ke'e and the other north shore beaches. Very short drive to Princeville Center (great ice cream at Lappert's) and Hanalei, which has a long, beautiful beach, a very fun farmer's market with delightful handcrafted items as well as fresh local produce, and another great ice cream shop, Pink's. The condo was well-equipped, and we really appreciated all of the well thought out amenities. The communication with Janet was great both during pre-planning and during our stay. We thoroughly enjoyed every bit of our time here, and I would plan any future trip around the availability of this specific condo!

Overall very pleased. Room is outdated with cosmetic problems but very clean. Listing states air conditioning but it is. Small portable units that is permanently vented to the front door. AC is inadequate for size of apartment and stayed warm. We tried opening windows at night as well and still stayed too warm. Access to the sealodge beach makes the place worth the stay. Small community with shops are near by.

My husband and I booked 3 nights here for half of our stay in Kauai. The buildings do not look very nice but the inside of the unit is great! The view of the ocean and greenery is absolutely beautiful. Just a few things while we were here— it gets so hot throughout the day, even with an extra fan we brought ourselves and the breeze coming through the windows it was very hard to cool off. The light in the bathroom went out during our stay but we know that it will be taken care of before the next person gets here. There is also a gap in one of the windows when you open it to the screen so we just left that one closed during our stay. Other than that it was fantastic and they provided us with everything we needed. If we could get used to sleeping with no AC, we would definitely stay here again.

First of all, this rental is in a BEAUTIFUL location. You can’t beat the views and you are close to the charming area of Hanalei. The rental was clean. However, the bedding in the master bedroom smells like mildew. I switched pillows as the manager advised, but found that all the pillows and pillowcases smelled the same. It did not bother my husband, but it bothered me. The dishwasher did not work as well.

Over all it was poor. When we checked in there several dead bugs around the apartment. Including a 4 inch centipede. The TV did not work. Tried with Jerry, property manger, to get it fixed. That did not happen. The apartment is quite rundown. The only redeeming quality of the place was the view. That was great. I wish I knew that there was no AC in the apartment.

Pros: -sunrise view is DEVINE-listening to the sound of waves crashing while you fall asleep is even more Devine-kitchen is fully equipped to cook meals-lanai is spacious enough for 4 people to eat the the outdoor table-in-unit washer and dryer work great-plenty of space for our party of 3 adults and 2 teenagers-easy 15 minute drive to Hanalei-fans provided for all sleeping areas-did I mention how close the ocean is???Cons:-My son was grossed out when we saw a hair on the bedsheets of the daybed when we checked in. No idea if they weren’t washed, or if it was a stray hair from the cleaners, but it definitely didn’t belong to us. -the BBQ grill listed in the amenities is a charcoal grill, and charcoal is not provided. Seriously??-we chose not to use the pool because it looked very unimpressive-there is only a curtain separating the primary bedroom from the living room (where the daybed is located). This was fine for our family, but mentioning it because it could be a concern for some. Overall, the pros far outweighed the cons, and we’d happily stay here again.
