My husband and I really enjoyed our stay here- it’s just a few minutes walk away from a beautiful secluded beach. There are great views of the ocean from the bedroom. The internet was fast and the AC in the bedroom worked really well (though we didn’t even need it with the breeze from the windows).

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo was fine. The view is wonderful. We would have enjoyed newer towels. The TV remotes had weak batteries. The seating on the lanai could be reworked. The beach chairs were laughable. We got rained out of most of our vacation. 3/4 of our excursions were canceled. Lots of things were closed. If that hadn’t happened we might not have noticed the minor glitches above. We wouldn’t mind returning to that unit, when hopefully the weather isn’t crazy.

This property was so well appointed. We had beach chairs, snorkeling gear, an umbrella, plenty of cookware and dishes, beach towels and sunblock. Leila was very responsive, the condo was very clean and easy to find based on the owner's directions. We had a wonderful week in this lovely home.

We really enjoyed our stay in Kauai! This property was the best in Sea Lodge - at the end of the community so it felt more private & had beautiful views over the cliffs! The property was pristine, A/C units in living room & bedroom were nice to have, & we were thankful to have a washer & dryer after a few wet & muddy hikes. Thank you!!

Great value! We saw whales, sea turtles, and birds from our condo, and we enjoyed magnificent sunrises with the lighthouse in the in the distant background. The condo had beach chairs, snorkels, a small cooler, and beach towels... all we needed for a day at Anini Beach.

We loved this unit. It is up high ("like a treehouse" was my wife's comment) so gets cool breezes and has a great view of the ocean from the lanai. Would definitely stay here again!

Comfortable, especially the bed. Everything we needed to cook meals. Good storage for 2 suitcases full of clothing. Views from dining area and lanai were soothing. Although end of the season, watched whales breach and play in the distance.

Our stay at D3 was incredible. The views from the corner unit above the bluff were breathtaking. Once we arrived, we didn’t want to leave the views. The unit was very cosy, clean and comfortable.

Views are amazing from the unit! Grounds are beautiful with a short trail walk to a cool beach area - fun for exploring and watching waves. Basics are provided for the kitchen. Laundry is handy. Comfortable bed and couch.Grocery store nearby was great. Short travel time to Hanalei for meals at restaurants. Would love to return for a future visit!!

My husband and I returned to this lovely condo in March of 2024 after staying there in 2018. Back then the condo was outdated, but the view from the condo is outstanding and we enjoyed it enough to rebook our stay in 2024 without realizing it would be undergoing a remodel. The remodel is fantastic and the condo is very well stocked. We truly enjoyed ourselves and felt quite at home. We hope to return again. Thank you!

This property tuned out to be perfect for our trip to Kauai. The check in and information was clear. The site was gorgeous with an incredible view from both the bedroom and the main living room. The amenities were as described and we loved small touches such as the closet with beach chairs for use and beach towels- how thoughtful. We liked having a washer and drier as we did return muddy from hikes and kayaking - I had thoughtour stay was so short (4 days) that we likely did not need to do laundry but turned out to be an incredible asset not to pack those muddy clothes for the return flights. We also walked to the property beach where we watched the waves while a baby seal napped and snored away at the farther end of the beach- where else can you do that? Close to restaurants for the nights we did not wish to cook. Would happily stay again!

The views are amazing! Watched whales from the decks. There’s a trail on the property that leads to a private beach and waterfall. It’s a great workout and more amazing views.

This is a lovely place overlooking the pristine Princeville beach. Super clean and well maintained. Kitchen was reasonably well stocked for preparation of simple every day meals. There is a short downhill hike then scramble over some rocks to get to a small very quiet and beautiful sandy beach. Before leaving my kids made me swear that we could come back.

Super private and back door walks out to nearly private lawn on top of cliff. The door lines up perfectly with the next landfall: KODIAK ALASKA!!! Whale circus daily! Love this space.

We’ve been to Kauai twice now. We stayed in Lihue the first time and this time in Princeville. We prefer the north shore so this location is amazing. If you want to drive down to Poipu or Waimea it’s a bit of a drive so maybe staying further south would be better for you. For us though, this is the perfect location.

Saw whales the first morning from the balcony. That meant it was going to be a great visit. Princeville and SeaLodge are a great location to just disconnect and relax. The unit, being on the top floor, has an awesome view. My wife loved the daybed surrounded by windows overlooking the Pacific for an afternoon rest break.

As many others have stated the view was phenomenal! May have just been the time of year, but it was cool, rainy and cloudy. So you may want to book at a different time for sunshine. The condo was clean and certainly met our needs. Linda was very attentive in checking in with us more than once to make sure all was well, even though she was on vacation herself!

Thank you Leila for being a great host and with a wonderful place to stay in Princeville on Kauai. She was most helpful and accommodating in our communications. Her place at Sealodge was better than expected with fabulous views of the mountains and superb location near many activities in the Hanalei Bay area. We most enjoyed the private Sealodge beach with good snorkeling and frequent sights of sea turtles, as well as the communal bench nearby on a grass bluff overlooking the ocean. We saw passing and playing whales and porpoises daily. We liked the weathered wood shingle look of the Sealodge buildings. Her spacious one-bedroom unit on the top floor location felt private and quiet. It was exceptionally clean and neat upon arrival. The mirrored walls in the Dining Room and Living Room made the space feel large and open. It has large, tinted windows and sliding glass door to Lanai that when fully open allows good natural air circulation. The unit also has neat peekaboo views of the ocean from the Living Room, Lanai and Kitchen windows. The kitchen was well equipped for food prep and cooking with full size stove and refrigerator. We found everything we needed to eat in or prepare meals on the go for our outdoor adventures. The unit was also well equipped for beach activities. We would happily use Leila’s place again when visiting Kauai. Highly recommended for those seeking comfort, fabulous views and superb location. Jack B. Gloucester, MA

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Easy to get to, and easy parking. Good communication from the host. Spotless, comfortable, and well equipped. The fabulous view meant that the apartment was up two flights of stairs.In early March, the short trail to the beach was very muddy and slippery in parts. I did see a seal at the beach.Highly recommended!

The view from this property was wonderful. We absolutely loved listening to the waves while sleeping. Property was small but fine for 2 people. Kitchen was well furnished. The unit was updated but the overall complex outside really needs attention.

We so enjoyed our stay at the Sealodge. The views from this unit were incredible and we enjoyed watching the sunrise with coffee on the lanai each morning. We even saw whales in the distance one day. Though it is a bit dated, it is clean, well maintained and in good condition. We hope to return someday.

This was a great home base for my family. The listing description/pics were accurate. My kids were comfortable in the loft and on the window bed. We cooked almost every meal at home in the kitchen. The views were beautiful. We enjoyed the beach chairs and boogie boards!

WOW what a location! So blessed to be a guest! The ocean view from the king bed is still fresh in my mind a month later. The local farmer's market was just right, with fresh fruit, local crafts and macadamia ice cream. Bed was good and furniture in great shape. That said: This place seriously needs a renovation. Like, maybe starting at the waterproofing (to check for mold), replace or renovate the windows and sliding door (which don't); consistent base moldings, a fresh coat of paint (throughout, not portions) a new shower fixer mixer (which doesn't come out at you when you turn it on), you get the idea. Its just real tired of being a rental and needs to be loved. Ok so big thanks to Chris the property manager who answered our call when we realized we had not received the code to enter, then showed up quick and made the garbage disposal operate ... and tighten up the toilet seat so we could sit without sliding. You made us laugh and all was good. Look, I'm not trying to step on anyone's dream here. It is what it is, and in the end, it is in Hawaii!

I’ll begin by saying we love Sealodge and that area. F9 unit has a spectacular view. We saw whales almost every day and fabulous birds. It really is a wonderful place. Unfortunately, after a few days( we rented F9 for 2 weeks) you begin to notice things. The unit really needs some new paint and some TLC. The plumbing fixtures worried me every time I went to have a shower or brush my teeth. The beds are soft. The screens have holes. The washer and dryer are sort of in the dining room with you. But then there’s the view! I waffled back and forth between loving the place and being a bit disappointed. I’d definitely rent in the Sealodge complex again, but I do not think I would ever rent F9 again.

We enjoyed the condo very much. The location was nice and condo is full of amenities and beautifully decorated. We were unable to truly enjoy the lani because the rain and wind didn't cooperate. We would stay again next time we visit Kauai

It's the awesome island feel that's everywhere. Roosters roam freely, the ocean sounds, the gentle breeze and short soft rain showers make this place a dream come true. Be prepared for quiet time with everything you need a short drive away.

We enjoyed our 4 nights at this beautiful location overlooking the ocean. We highly recommend it, though have two suggestions for improvement. 1) We saw no way to turn off the fan over the dining table while keeping the light on. There seemed to be a remote for the fan, but it did not work. 2) It would help if the light over the bathroom sink was much brighter. Otherwise, everything else was great.

A trail is on property with a 10-minute hike to a secluded beach. Great ocean view from property overlook. The only thing was foot thumping above us, kind of annoying till we got used to it. I recommend and would stay here again. It is much slower and comfortable in Princeville, north shore, vs Poipu area. There are 3 charcoal grills across parking lot from pool. More important B-9 had great pots and pans, SO NICE for cooking, Thank You.Everything was great overall.

The view was great and we spotted several whale water spouts in the ocean, seen from the dinning table! The sheets and pillow cases were clean but the bedspread, pillow and mattress had had a horrible stench of body odor! A true barbarian had stayed there who needed to be introduced to soap and water. We reported the situation to management but nothing was done. Maybe bring a can of Lysol spray with you!

Princeville is such a magical place with so much to see and do! Leila's condo was wonderful! It was so nice to come back after a day exploring. These units are some of the original in Princeville! There are vantage points all over to take in the beauty of the Pacific. The private Sealodge Beach is just a short trail walk from the property. Thank You for a most wonderful stay on the north coast!condo had everything we needed!
