The condo is very comfortable & has everything you need. The view from every room is stunning. This is a uniquely beautiful area & this condo is a great base to experience it. Highly recommend!

Our stay was fantastic and the view of the pacific ocean is just stunning. The only thing we felt was a little uncomfortable the first night was the temperature. The room was a little bit hot without A/C. But after we opened the windows and turned on all the fans, it did cool off. Besides this tiny issue, our overall stay was great and we highly recommend this beautiful condo.

We loved the view and the location, about 10 mins from Hanalei Bay. Things to note: there’s no beach walking distance of the unit. The condo is perched high on bluffs, and while there’s supposedly a trail leading from the property down to the beach, we found it slippery and dangerous. Also, I found the communication with the property management, Kauai Kahuna, to be frustrating. We were asked if we needed anything, but almost everything was met with a version of “No, buy it yourself.” For example, shampoo, conditioner and sugar were not provided. The snorkeling gear provided was faulty, and while we were provided with replacements, it was nearly a 2 business day wait with no specific arrival time to plan our snorkeling around, so we spent 25 to rent snorkels. The VRBO's Cleaning rules upon checkout were quite strict, i.e. "Your 30 cleaning fee includes the laundering of 2 sets of towels, for anything other than that, launder yourself or be charged a cleaning fee." So the last night of our stay, I had to stay up while the washer and dryer ran our beach towels, since that fell outside of the "covered" 2 sets of bath towels. We also had to take out the trash ourselves. Not sure what the cleaning fee really covers at that point. While we liked this unit, we'll likely try another management company next time.

The view from the lanai was lovely - we enjoyed the sound of the surf day and night. The apartment was clean and the furnishings pleasant. The complex was built in the 1970's, but the apartment had updates and maintenance done over the years such that it was very pleasant to stay there. It is not fancy or high-end, but also not as expensive as other places. Definitely would rent again. Note: the Sealodge Beach access is not good for anyone with mobility issues, in my opinion. The trail is steep, and it is muddy and very slippery after it rains. I suggest driving to any one of many nearby beaches for beach activities.

The location is 10/10! In a great area, beautiful property and fun places within a few min drive. The beach chairs, cooler, and boogie boards were great to have available as well. It was lovely to have breakfast on the lanai! Easy parking. That being said, the unit itself was mediocre and kind of half baked. There were knives (some blades wobbled when used), but no cutting board of any kind. The bathroom door could not be opened/closed with the bath mat on the floor, and both bath mats were clearly dirty prior to our arrival. The welcome snacks had pretty beat up packaging, and once opened they were wet and tasted like soap. That part honestly felt like a joke. Overall, it was fine, but the unit itself is very basic given the price of the listing.

The view from this Sealodge condo is stunning. The flat was stocked with every need and meticulously clean. This was an easy choice to skip the bellman and valet to enjoy this truly unique and peaceful accommodation. This location has it all within minutes. Beautiful beaches, trails, groceries, dining, golf/tennis/pickleball. Thank you to the manger for responding immediately for help with the TV system. We will be in touch soon to book again!!

We loved our stay at the condo. The view was so beautiful! The grounds have the prettiest vegetation and it’s very quiet and peaceful. We loved walking up to the roosters in the morning and hearing them in the afternoon. There is always a great breeze coming in.

Place is quiet and nicely equipped for a relaxing vacation. Communication with manager was prompt.Only hiccup was that TV did not work and while it was evaluated and scheduled to be replaced that day, the replacement did not come until the last day of our stay. Unclear communication about the 4 day delay.

Condo was very clean. Everything needed except spoons, as soon as I noticed managing they brought a whole new set of silverware. Check-in and communication with management was great. Three floors was a bit of a climb, though the view was wonderful.

2nd time here in the last year. We really enjoyed our stay. Great location and love the management company, they are on top of everything! This unit has gorgeous views from both bedrooms and the lanai. It had a lot of vacation supplies (ice chest, snorkel & fins, umbrellas and towels - however, the beach chairs were unusable) if you need them. The only issues that needs attention, was the upstairs bathroom floor, but nothing that made us want to call management about 😀. Also LOVED the secluded beach, spent lots of time on it and in the water snorkeling (turtles ✔️!!). Overall, wonderful place and obviously, would stay again.

After initially receiving no response to my messages, Alexis replied and apologized, stating she had not seen them. After that, communication was fine. The condo has no AC. From our arrival Tuesday evening to Saturday afternoon, no in-shore breeze and inside was uncomfortable. From Saturday evening to Tuesday, we had a breeze that made a huge difference. Appreciated the full kitchen and washer/dryer. Make sure that you clean up after every meal and don't leave food out or the ants will come out in force. Beach towels and gear was nice. The bathroom is small but adequate. The tub did not drain well. I notified Alexis afterward and she was going to take care of it. The slider does not move well in the track and there is no lock but there is a dowel. Only one of the living room windows opens. The balcony facing the ocean was awesome. There is a pool that we did not use. The best part of the condo was the amazing view--ocean and shore that was not frequented by anyone. The salt air and the sound of the waves was wonderful. Princeville is so lush, beautiful, and quiet. There is a shopping center a short drive or 25 minute walk away, with a nice grocery store, shops, bar, and food court. A nice golf course within walking distance. Hanalei, a small town, is 2 miles southwest, and very quaint. The north part of the island really has the lush tropical vegetation, and we were so glad to stay there. Thanks to Alexis and Gifford!

This was the best vacation ever. This cozy 2 floor 2 br was perfect, and sleeping with the windows open and waves crashing all night made for perfect sleep after long beach days and trying to see as much of the island as possible each day. Watching the dolphins and sea turtles from the balcony or ANY window in the house was an amazing perk. They even provided a small telescope to get closer looks at the coral field below. Amazing!

Amazing views of both the Ocean and Mountains; somewhat rare. Easy check-in process. Nice touch by Vacasa to add some welcome coffee and cookies. Prior reviews indicated noise from upstairs. Floors are definitely thin and you can hear footsteps, but it wasn't distrubing, especially during the evenings and mornings.

This was our second year staying here. This year, we unfortunately had much louder neighbors than the previous year, with people stomping above us during quiet hours (9pm-8am) and people talking loudly on their patio below us at 4AM which was super inconsiderate, rude, disrespectful, and downright idiotic. We both woke up very bothered by all the noise that the fans couldn't drown out and we had to close our window just to try to go back to sleep so we had to sacrifice listening to the ocean waves that we paid for. There were also tiny ants that we experienced inside the property this time that we did not experience last year. We love this place for the price and ocean view, but I don't think we can stay here again due to the thin walls and ants.

Me and my wife stayed there for 7 nights celebrating our anniversary. Location is truly amazing. Its very last building on the cliff facing the ocean. Views are breathtaking. Sleeping with windows open you can only hear sounds of ocean. Unforgettable experience thru night and unbelievable views during the day. Condo was clean, well equipped. Appliances in the kitchen are outdated , but they are all working. As mentioned in description, there is no AC in this unit. We didn't spend much time there thru the day , but during nights we had windows open and several fans turned on to cool this place. No issue there, at least for us. Since this is very last unit , you have to walk about 100 yds downhill from parking lot. Building itself looks odd from outside, but inside its a different story. This place was amazing and we would 100% stay again.

Overall it was a lovely experience. We could see the ocean a little off of the deck. The place was small but tidy. It accommodated the two of us nicely. The kitchen could use a refresh and the bathroom has limited air circulation causing a stale odor. The location was ideal for groceries and many sightseeing opportunities nearby. Some of the best snorkeling is available via a pathway from the parking area. We suggest wearing shoes with some traction as the terrain is steep in some areas and holds the moisture. Do yourself a favor and keep walking until you see the beautiful beach. Don’t let the first sight of the ocean make you think there is none. It is spectacular for seeing all kinds of critters in the reef.

The house was as listed. The decor is a little tired, but it’s very clean and comfortable. It’s got a “going to the family cottage vibe.” The views are spectacular and falling asleep to the sound of the waves crashing was wonderful!!

My husband and I loved this peaceful, cozy getaway in beautiful Princeville! It was a little more on the "rustic and quaint" side as opposed to a slick, new development, which was just what we needed. Airy, well appointed, quiet, and with amazing sunset views and a bed that was super comfortable for a peaceful night's rest, we would definitely stay here again, and highly recommend!

This is our 4th time visiting and we love the north shore so location was 10/10. Views were incredible and complex was quiet. This was our first time not staying in a hotel which we learned came with some pros and cons.After a long day of travel we arrived with our 7 month old to a condo that felt well over 80 degrees. There was a single fan running that provided little to no relief.

We celebrated our anniversary there and we were not disappointed. The condo was beautiful as described. We didn’t want to come home. Stunning views of the ocean from most windows and great views of the mountains from the remaining windows. Beautiful neighborhood to walk through and it doesn’t make you feel like a tourist as it feels like more residential. Clean and very comfortable! We will definitely be back!

We enjoyed the excellent location and view. Bery private feeling on the far corner of the property. Surrounding grounds were so pretty. Bed was very comfortable but seemed smaller than we expected. Living room furniture dated and not comfy, but was sufficient. Decently stocked kitchen. When we arrived the room was closed up and warm i stuffy, but we did enjoy the open air feel the rest of the time. No AC - but the ocean sounds made up for that.

My wife and I had a great stay. The condo was well stocked and very clean. The bed was comfortable and the shower had great pressure. We came in September which was hot and the home has an assortment of fans and great ocean breeze however if you are sensitive to heat and traveling during the warm season be aware there is no AC. The walk to the beach and views make this location special. We also loved using the beach gear supplied and spent our last day on the beach at Hanalei swimming and enjoying the sunset. We will miss it.

The location is perfect; at the end of a private road with access to a secluded beach. And the views – simply amazing. The condo comes with beach chairs, boogie boards and a cooler. The unit itself is dated, and the dishwasher was out of order, which is an irritant if you like to cook while on vacation. The dryer is a condenser dryer, not vented, so be prepared for long dry times if you have a lot of laundry. Note on the lack of AC: the condo is breezy and comfortable – until the trade winds stop blowing. Something to consider since we cannot control Mother Nature. All this being said, I would recommend Sealodge J9. The property company was communicative and easy to work with. And the location and views override the drawbacks.
