Great condo!! Nicely remodeled, had everything you need for the beach and to cook! Great views - sunrise and sunset. Great home base for all the north shore beaches and sites. Bed was very cozy …. We wish we could figure out what kind of bed it was so we could get one at home! We will stay here again if we ever get back to Lauai!

Great view from the living room. Well designed layout, and fully equipped with the things you need to enjoy your stay: boogie boards, beach chairs, umbrella. Full set of cooking utensils, ice maker that worked!

Beautiful views from this apartment, both front and back. Checking in was easy and it was pretty easy to find. The beds were comfortable and generally the apartment was fairly well equipped. A pair of kitchen scissors might be a useful addition and it was unfortunate that the dishwasher was broken but we were able to do what we needed in the kitchen. Having the washer & dryer was really helpful and the beach chairs etc. Location was great, easy drive to supermarket and not far to Hanalei which is a lovely place to explore. It was warm when we were staying and though there was an ocean breeze, the fans were necessary!

Loved the place and the very private beach. The walk to the beach was a little more intense than just a gentle stroll - and yet - it was so worth it to be there in such a gorgeous place! We appreciated that there were beach chairs and goggles to snorkel around. It was very convenient to restaurants and walks - we loved every minute! It did not have AC so be prepared, although even on hot days, with the fans and the breeze it wasn't really an issue.

Great base for the north shore! Mesmerizing views, well stocked, comfortable bed, great pillows! Wasn’t bothered or disturbed by any upstairs/downstairs neighbors. Blissful breezes. Be prepared for the 6:00am rooster, as is the norm on the island, and adjust your day accordingly. Get out early and avoid getting burned

Sea Lodge is a beautiful property with amazing views. The location of this property however blocked the trade winds and does not have ac, so it was warm inside even with windows open. I suggest property owner update ceiling fan over the bed, guest are not able to increase speed and the fan is stuck on a very low setting which left us hot at night sleeping without covers trying to stay cool. Otherwise the property was clean and has amazing views.

Well-appointed condo that had everything we needed for our 4-night stay in Princeville. The waterfront location was perfect from sunrise to sunset, and the sound of the waves lulled us to sleep every night. The location was ideal for our activities from shopping to snorkeling and beaching to dining out. We can’t wait for our next trip to the Garden Island!

This was an excellent choice. For once there were plenty of kitchen items to cook properly. Pots, pan, utensils, baking dishes, can openers, etc. We had three good fans which worked well along with the breeze.Very good shower which Is good for me with colored, bleached, thick hair. Bed was comfortable, view was beautiful, laundry in the unit, good location close to grocery. Very nice Vrbo.

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.

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.

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 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

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.
