We enjoyed our stay at this location and the views are spectacular. Lounging on the day bed with 180 degree views of the ocean was our favorite part. The kitchen, bathroom, curtains, bedding, beds, washer/dryer, etc. could use a refresh. However, the price was reasonable and we appreciated that. The medium difficulty walk to the beach below was really cool too.

The pictures of the apartment is out of date. And the laundry machines were out of order.

The corner unit was very private and had a spectacular view. I loved having a bed in the corner, with an ocean view out of two sides. We really enjoyed the beach below and the trail getting there. We would definitely consider coming back.

This is a very clean, lovely apartment in a great location. The only thing I did not like about the apartment is that the bathroom doors are like closet doors. The door is not solid, so there’s not much privacy. Other than that, it was a great apartment.

Absolutely lovely place! The views are amazing! My husband and I had wonderful time staying at this condo. You can hear the waves and it’s so beautiful! Close to shopping and great beaches! The kitchen is nicely updated with new cabinets and appliances. Would love to see furniture upgrade.

What a wonderful week we spent in this condo! The view is fantastic! I got up for every sunrise in the morning. Many afternoons we preferred Happy Hour at the condo rather than going out. Beside the hard-to-beat view, the condo is quiet and well-equipped. The beach supplies were especially appreciated (chairs, umbrella, towels, snorkeling gear.) We hiked down the hill to the secluded SeaLodge beach several times; one time sharing the ocean with three green turtles!

The ocean views (and sound of the waves) are the big stunners for this condo. There are multiple areas in the condo with ocean views. The outdoor patio is on the main level (second story) and is very private. There's a sitting area indoors facing the water which was perfect for watching the ocean on rainy afternoons. The condo had everything we needed to prepare meals, and there is a bathtub upstairs (shower on main level) for those who want to soak. We would not hesitate to stay here again.

We loved our stay at the Sea Lodge! Waking up every morning to see the sunrise was absolute magic. The views are out of this world! There is something so special about the North Shore (even with the rain) and to be so close for 3 days was perfection! Bed was comfortable - the space was clean. We would recommend and stay again in a heartbeat!

This condo worked well for our family of 4. We loved the view & sound of the ocean and the sweet little beach nearby. It's not fancy or very modernized, but it was comfortable, easy to get to and private. We loved it!

The unit is small but a slice of heaven for enjoying the North Coast's supreme beauty. We watched the waves by the hour from the veranda and enjoyed seeing the humpback whales swim by! Would return to this unit:)

My partner and I enjoyed the spot. Really great views and could hear the ocean in the distance. Be aware there's no AC and the place doesn't get the best air circulation (even with the fans) so summertime be prepared to sweat (we went in April and the humidity was tolerable.

There is no way to accurately describe this property. The private beach is awesome. Get ready to see a turtle or two. There's a little bit of a walk but if you're in decent shape you'll be fine and the walk itself is beautiful. Great snorkeling since it is protected from the surf. Communication from the hosts? 100% spot on. Exemplary. You think the views in the pics are amazing? Think again. The actual views are are stunning. The ocean breeze, the views, I just can't describe it in words, I really can't. The wildlife comes right up to the lanai. Nene. Chickens, azure tailed skinks (little lizzards, totally harmless) and you will see albatross. DO NOT FEED THEM! It is not ok. It is not natural. Do not feed them. Enjoy them then let them go about their God blessed lives. Do NOT feed them. It is a law to not feed them and for good reason. There. That's my part. Now all of that said, i can't imagine you're going to be able to find a better place to stay. Don't wait on this one. Reserve it immediately and get ready for a punch when you actually draw the shades back and see the view with your own eyes. You will be blown away. By the way, we named the rooster that kept coming back Frank. Say Aloha Frank! Then melt into the chairs and realize that you picked the ultimate destination for your vacation. You're welcome and God bless your travels.

The condo is an end unit, wrapped around the corner from the main condos. It is very quiet and private, and the view of the bay to the lighthouse is unobstructed. The condo is tastefully decorated, and the furniture is comfortable, especially the bed. Breezes from the ocean cool the entire unit. We definitely want to stay here again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The condo has beautiful views of the ocean, especially the morning sunrise. It was clean, well equipped (lots of beach towels), has a waher/dryer in the unit, and thoughtfully decorated. The extra daybed is great for people who are travelling as friends or family. For those of us who have mobility issues, is up a flight of stairs (which of course improves the view). We are hoping to come back some day.

Walking to private beach was worth the stay alone. Gets a little hot with no air condition. However, worth the sacrifice for the view, private beach and size of the condo.

This served as a great home base for our two night trip to the north shore and for our Na Pali coast hike to the falls. The unit was spotless and as advertised. The views were incredible and we loved drinking coffee and watching the sun come up in the morning. We really appreciated the coffee maker and the in-unit laundry for our dirty hiking clothes. We did not use the pool or hike to the beach, so can't speak to that. She does supply beach chairs and towels, which we did use on our first day there and appreciated. Linda sent over a ton of very helpful information when we booked it as well. As an FYI, dishwasher is currently broken and they are looking to replace it once one is available (we never needed it). We would 100% stay here again and hope to do so!

Smaller than the pictures look, bathroom need a remodel, just deglazing the bathtub would help . There was rust by the faucets they were old and the shower head needs to be descaled which is and easy fix , you just put vinegar in a ziplock bag for a couple Hours and the bath tub could be refinished for about 200.00 this bath room would at least be presentable ,. Also the comments said there was a trail to the beach if your in your in your 20’s but if your an older adult you can not make this trail. It is slippery and muddy with no real path.If you had a golf cart to get around it would be so much easier. I was just expecting more upscale since it was in Princeville.

Everything about this property was perfect. We saw whales everyday off our deck, the beach chairs and beach towels were so nice to have, and the property manager Ted was sooo nice and taught us so much about the area! We will be back!

My husband and I stayed at Sea Lodge for two nights in April 2025. We normally stay in the Poipu area when we visit Kauai, and we wanted to experience the north shore. This property is in a great location and the view is absolutely incredible. Pictures do not do it justice. We spend our mornings sitting on the balcony with coffee watching the sunrise. The property was clean and was exactly as pictured in the listing. All of the supplies and amenities that you need are already in the unit. The check in process was very easy and we had great communication with the property managers, Gifford and Alexis. Although there is no AC, if you just open the windows and allow in the sea breeze it really kept the unit cool and comfortable. We wish that we had spent more than 2 nights here during our trip! We would absolutely stay here again!

The views alone warrant the stay here. Property itself is run down and first impressions when pulling up weren’t good… Place was clean but outdated kitchen and bathroom. It had nice furniture and decor but the bed was awful. If it weren’t for the views I’d of rated this place a 3 but the views were simply stunning from every place except kitchen and bathroom.

Overall our family enjoyed our stay at this condo. Great location by the ocean in a nice, chill complex with friendly people. Everything about the condo was well taken care of, mostly. OK, so, we had to chase out a giant roach (might have been more) - we get it, welcome to island life. But. The folks in charge of this rental did not respond to any of our text, phone or email messages regarding these creepy guys. Gotta downgrade on that attitude more than the roach, which we wouldn't even had mentioned if they had responded.

We loved our stay at Sealodge A6! We had an amazing view of the ocean, and beautiful grounds. We had a sticky screen door that was fixed in a very timely manner. We really loved the private beach. A little tricky to hike to, but so worth it!

This place was spotless and the views are unparalled. We felt very safe and left our windows open all day even when we left on daily activities, the location is tucked way in the back of Princeville and was super duper quiet. The bed was perfectly comfortable and you have a big view of the ocean and the accompanying sounds right from your bed. Once we had parked we got a little confused trying to find out door in the appropriate building, so locate your door first before lugging all your lugggage. But once you find it its easy. We would absolutely stay here again and if we ever go back to Kauai, we won't even bother looking at other options, this is it!

We have been staying at F9 for over 30 years. We were renting from the original owner before it was leased through a property. It is a perfect location with views of the sea and surf and the sounds lull you sleep at night. I was pleased to see that they had replaced the lanai flooring with a synthetic that didn’t give you splinters in your feet. The apartment was clean but old and dated. The same dim bathroom lights and bathtub non-slip stickers (or what’s left of them) are still here after 30 years! We had to put a small area rug with a rubber backing in the tub, so we wouldn’t slip. We are seniors but very active so going up and down to the third floor is not a big deal. We have stayed at other third floor properties in Sea Lodge but sitting on the lanai in F9 is the best because the wind doesn’t blow the paper umbrella out of your mai tai!This location is perfect. It needs a little TLC upgrade.

The view from this property can't be beat - the deck and living room and bedroom windows look east over Anini Beach. The unit was decorated in a fun beach theme with seashells everywhere. The size of the unit and the small deck were perfect for 2 individuals.The unit could have been more comfortable by providing better furniture on the deck (there was a flimsy table and chairs that easily tipped if you sat on the edge), a table inside rather than just a breakfast bar for 2, better lighting in the living room for reading (we used one of the deck chairs and pulled it into the kitchen), blinds for the living room windows to keep out the heat of the sun, and the ability to open the living room windows (because there was a day bed in the living room, neither of the windows would open.)The unit was also noisy. We could hear the footsteps of our upstairs neighbors whenever they were home. We weren't told before we arrived that the unit next door was being renovated, and the pounding was pretty consistent throughout the work week from 9-5. In spite of the drawbacks, all in all, we had a nice stay.

Sealodge is located in a beautiful setting- Mountain Views out the front and the ocean from the back. Very easy to get down to hanalei bay and the grocery store. The condo was very clean and comfortable. 10/10- would stay here again, but for longer next time!

We booked knowing from previous reviews that the interior was dated and tired. The view towards Anini beach and the lighthouse was our priority so we booked regardless of that. We didn't regret our decision. The suite was well stocked, although as mentioned, almost everything was outdated/ tired. The location, grounds, view and convenience were perfect, and the beds were also comfortable. On the first day we reported there was NO cold water coming from the kitchen sink faucet. My partner is a contractor and tried everything he could to fix it, but didn't have the tools. They indicated they would send someone, but even after two subsequent reminders, nobody fixed it over our 6 night stay. The combo of no cold water in the kitchen, a very old small dishwasher, and only 4 packets of dishwasher soap turned dishwashing into more of a problem than it should have been. Ideally a new dishwasher would be good, and more dishwasher soap...but it was disappointing that the rental company didn't seem too concerned about the lack of water. But other than that, we found the space cozy and pleasant for our family of four. It wouldn't take too much money or effort for them to make the unit completely problem free. Wifi is slow for those who need fast wifi to work remotely or stream movies, it won't be sufficient.

This property is right off the Sealodge Beach with breathtaking views of the ocean, coast and sunrise right from the condo. Rise an hour before sunrise to see magical colors!! Great surroundings and short drive to Hanalei area. Stocked well with beach towels, chairs, umbrella for use. Easy check-in/out. Highly recommend!!

The owner perfectly describes the unit and its location. It is indeed an older place overlooking paradise with truly stunning views. The view, sound of surf and beautiful private beach are what continues to draw us here to this complex. This was not our first stay at Sealodge where we have always rented a different unit. After booking this one, there was a required separate detail liability contract and the need to submit a copy of our photo ID directly to the owner. There were several communications, specifics and reasoning provided by the owner regarding the care of the condo and its contents, and various cautions. Additional instructions asked us to call ahead of time to use the washing machine. The owners were nice enough in their communications but for us, long time world-wide vacation home renters, respectful of others property, the level of detail was just too much. We felt uncomfortable relaxing. For Kauai, there was really no Aloha. A last minute change of plans with family left us with a need to rent a smaller unit, which is how we arrived here at this condo instead of our preferred Sealodge unit. If hands-on do not bother you, this is a comfortable, simple accommodation with a spectacular view
