Beautiful spot, beautiful place! We loved staying here! Unfortunately the bed was not very comfortable and we had to resort to sleeping on the couch. Also there was not a plug for the bathtub drain so the bathtub was unusable. Also, the TV functionality and remote were not user friendly at all. There was no remote for the Samsung TV itself. We weren’t able to log into any of our streaming services on the TV. For the location it is unbelievably amazing but for the price and location would love to have slept in the bed with the beautiful view and breeze.

This property blew us away! The apartment is adorable - well laid out, plenty of room, better than the photos. But you won't care once you see the views! The balcony, living room and bedroom all have large windows and all you see is gorgeous ocean in every direction. You're up just high enough that nothing blocks your views. It's breathtaking. The location is great - 1 1/2 miles to shopping, dining, and great ice cream. You can easily walk from the unit. There is a nice pool on property, but you are so close to many great beaches, you won't care. The apartment has a washer/dryer, which is a great convenience. Hanelei, just a few miles down the road, is the cutest little town, with a wonderful beach and pier. In the other direction, Anini Beach is very nice. Excursions and attractions down in Kapa'a and Lihue are an easy drive. We loved the peace and quiet of Princeville. You can take long walks in every direction, or take a quick ride for dinner or groceries. The Farmer's Market on Saturday morning, just a few miles down the road, is full of new and different fruit, and the vendors have samples - who knew there was such a thing as an "apple banana"? If you are heading to Kauai, this property should be at the top of your list. Bonus: the hosts are great with communication and booking. Really appreciate that!

We just love Sealodge J7! We have stayed all over Kauai during the last 40 years, and this sweet townhouse style place is the tops! It is clean and so comfy. It has everything we need to make our own meals and dine while enjoying the fabulous view. The owners and local staff are kind and helpful. We plan to return often !

The apartment was better than advertised. Views unreal from each room in the place. Kitchen brand new and seemingly never used, parking abundant, location 10/10, pool right near by, and the views and landscaping just outstanding. Highly recommend over a luxury resort when traveling longer or with a family!

This place was dated and on the dirty side. The curtains on the slider had mold on them so it smelled like mold as soon as you walked in. Opened the slider and windows and it did air out. I read the reviews and they were mixed and the description said all updated furniture and floors. It must be an old description because it was not.

Amazing view of the ocean and coral reef from anywhere in the property through the many large windows. On the lanai to the right you can see the lighthouse in the distance, and to the left or through the kitchen window you can see the mountains and a waterfall. No A/C but with the windows open and fan on it wasn't an issue at all. We loved watching the ocean from the room and snorkeling at the secret beach, which has a beautiful reef with lots of fish and sea turtles. We had an excellent stay and would definitely return in the future!

This rental was overall good. As others have observed, the buildings are a tad run down (the screen doors and windows don't always close well, some of the pots are not in top shape--things of that sort). We had an issue with the toilet (which got clogged notwithstanding our best efforts, since we knew that Kauai plumbing is delicate) that took a whole day and several calls and texts to get resolved. But it did get solved once we expressed our urgency. (Also, partly our bad for not noticing the presence of a better plunger near the one we used!0The location is amazing, right on the cliff (which makes it a bit loud when you keep the windows open--bring ear plugs if you are sensitive to noise,, also because roosters and other birds will be loud too). It's nice that there were a very good washer and dryer in the apartment. Lots of pillows of good quality, which is rare even in fancy hotels. Plenty of blankets.The swimming pool was small but nice.Photos are reliable in showing what the place looks like.Princeville is quiet and nice, but bring dry goods as groceries are very expensive compared to mainland US!

The views are more incredible than the pictures convey! All our meals at the condo were spent gazing out the windows or sitting outside on the small patio. It was such a value-added benefit of our stay.

D7 of the Sealodge was absolutely perfect for us. We wanted an ocean view, cleanliness, a functional kitchen, and 2 full bed & bath. It delivered on all those fronts. Additionally, it was private, quiet, had camp chairs for the beach, a beach umbrella, a snorkel set, and a cooler, which made going to the beach a breeze. It was very nice to have a washer/dryer. And I just can't say enough about the view, the breeze, and sleeping to the sound of the ocean. Perfect. Beautiful sunrises, beautiful sunsets, and mountain views too!

This is a wonderful place to stay! The views are simply unbelievably beautiful, the unit is immaculate, the kitchenware and supplies are top notch, the bed is comfortable and the linens are high quality. It seems everything needed has been anticipated and provided. Having a washer/dryer was wonderful. We loved sitting out on the deck with a glass of wine at the end of the day, preparing meals, and falling asleep to the sound of the surf. And who doesn't love a rooster calling you to welcome a spectacular Kauai sunrise! The owner of our unit was outstanding and provided helpful information and suggestions. The Sealodge grounds are beautifully kept and the complex has just the right amount of rustic feel. It was perfect for us. This was a splurge, as we stayed for two weeks, but we really cannot wait to return. If you're in a position to make it happen, let me strongly encourage you to do so. You won't regret it.

The view and the location were spectacular. We saw whales, dolphins and so many birds just sitting drinking coffee in the place. There is a cool little beach a short hike thru the trees. The grocery store was close and the poke bowls there were delicious and affordable compared to most of the food options on the island. There is a walking path that goes along the sea and a golf course and has a great view of the mountains as a backdrop. Only drawback: there were no kitchen things like salt, pepper, oil, etc. We restocked a bit and the owner said she’d reimburse us. Not a big deal! You’ll like this place- we miss it!

The ocean view was spectacular as advertised. large screened sliding windows and door allowed for wonderful cooling breezes, combined with the ceiling fans in living room and bedroom providing perfect temperature. Was wonderful to fall asleep to the sound of the waves crashing just below us. The bed was very comfortable and lots of extra pillows were provided. Although the unit showed typical wear and tear of older oceanfront buildings ( sticky/rusty sliding door track and weathered lanai furniture), it was very clean and well maintained with impressive new appliances, and well stocked with cookware, glasses, plates and cups.Our interaction with the management company was 5 star from initial emails and follow up phone calls to a late night call to their emergency on call number on arrival when I was unable to work the keypad on the entry door. The call was answered immediately by an extremely pleasant woman who talked me through the process with good humor, seemingly unbothered by the fact that it was nearly midnight and clearly a case of operator error! Would definitely recommend this unit, and hope to stay there again.

Wonderful place to stay. The views are incredible, sunrises especially. Laundry is convenient to have. Kitchen was easy to use/well equipped. Bed is comfy. Ceiling fan in the bedroom is a bit on the noisy side but there are other fans in the house. Very quiet area - just ocean and roosters.

We had a great time at this condo. The views are unbeatable; the bed was comfortable and the daybed in the window was a dreamy place to rest. The location was perfect for getting to beaches. Grocery store is a short drive away and you will want to enjoy meals at home here. Kahuna management was very responsive when we had questions; everything worked well once we figured out that the bedroom TV is wired to a wall switch. We appreciated the updated carpet and flooring; we suggest an upgrade of windows and screens(sliding door screen came off of its tracks several times) and an upgraded shower/bath would be welcome.

The views were insanely beautiful; the condo felt very private. Location was great for getting to beaches. We are fans of Sea Ranch architecture in Northern California and this reminded us a bit of that. Kahuna staff was attentive at answering our questions. A few aspects of the condo could use updating: the windows and the shower. We appreciate the newest of the updated carpet and flooring…

No washer and dryer despite the description that it was fully equipped. There had been both but all that remained was a rusty panel where they had been plumbed in. We would have had to go to another building and pay to use the laundry equipment. The fridge and freezer doors are rusty. The bath tub is chipped and stained. The dining table is small. The cleaners had done a good job preparing for our arrival. We will not be staying here again.

View is wonderful! Listing pictures are accurate, and as described. Convenient to shopping and restaurants in Princeville. Property is lovely, including a relaxing pool. Not sure that I saw this mentioned in other reviews, but there are several concrete stairs on the sidewalk to the unit. Not an issue for us, but could be if stairs are a problem for others. I would stay again.

The views from the condo were outstanding. The condition of the unit was good, but a bit dated (especially the carpet and bathroom). Parking was very easy and accessing the unit was similar. Information was very clear and while I understand some renters don't care for properties properly, I felt somewhat put off by the list of charges that I would incur for different items. The two issues that were a bit frustrating for us were the lack of sheets that fit the "day bed" in the living room. There WERE sheets in the linen closet, but they did not fit that mattress. Also, in the dryer, the lint-trap cover was not secure and worse that than a couple of my wife's shirts were ruined by something from the dryer that left stains. A superintendent visited after my initial complaint about this and determined a seal on the dryer had failed. Overall, we enjoyed ourselves, but there were definitely "hiccups".
