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

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I’m really hoping I can figure out how to forward picture I took. The place could be lovely if the owners would put a little bit of updating. Tub was not clean. Water pressure was poor. Perhaps a new hand held shower head would help. It needs a paint job. Towel had what appeared to be feces stains! One wash and it came out! We were LOCKED into the condo and had to call the emergency number to get out!! Thank goodness for Chris!! He was awesome! TV should have instructions.

We had a great time as always in Kauai and as described had great views from the Sealodge unit. Enjoyed watching the whales from the lanai with local rooster and Nene’s. The condo is in a great location and was well stocked. Communications were good and we would come back.

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.

My wife and I stayed at this property for 10 days in January 2025. The place was exactly as described. The direct ocean views from all 4 windows were amazing. Although it was just the two of us, there were enough beds for 5-6 people. One of the qualities we especially enjoyed was how quiet it was. All we could hear was the surf and the occasional rooster that added to the ambience. Two washrooms were great. Although there was no A/C, by opening the windows on each side of the condo, it allowed a beautiful cross breeze that kept the place cool during the day as well as the night. The kitchen was compact but very functional. The area is surrounded by a sprawling golf course with beautiful trees and flowers abound. Amenities are a short drive away. There was also a secluded beach a short hike away. All in all we loved this property and we would love to go back for a future stay.

The property is as listed. It is small but perfect for two people. The bedroom sits less than 100 yards from the beach, which if you like to go to bed to the sound of the ocean, it is a great bedroom. However, the place is older on the outside and we did have some pest problems while we were there. The remodel came out very nice, but the bathroom is small and the heating elements of the stove are not very efficient. They use electricity, which is kind of a pain. We also found the dryer not to be very efficient when drying, which may have to do with the humidity in that location. I'm not sure. The parking is decent. The location is safe and far away from any traffic noise. The cliffs on the beach are amazing for sunset, but it faces north, and thus in the winter months, the sunset is mostly difficult to see from that vantage point. You can drive to the nearby One resort for a great viewing of the sunset over Hanalei Bay. It was a great location, but the place is older overall. The bed was comfortable, but because of the pest issue, we will not be returning. My significant other was a bit freaked out. She understands that most places on the island will have some issues. The owner was responsive and did have the place sprayed after we left.

Pros:- great views and location. Super close to sealodge beach- nice kitchen and family room - great host communication - nice to have beach chairs and yoga mat provided! Cons:- marketed to sleep 4 but daybed is not a real mattress so not comfortable to sleep on. We used couch instead. - bathroom was moldy and smelled mildewy- limited kitchen supplies - no cutting board, storage containers, or pantry.
