The location was great. The amenities were decent. Some kitchenware (pots and pans) could use updating but overall was exactly as advertised. The sunrise views over the ocean were incredible every morning. I would come back again!

Had a great stay in Princeville, condo was in a great location for us, incredibly clean and the owner Chris was very, very easy to work with, returned any questions or comments very quick and thorough. Couldn’t imagine a better set up with the owner. Looking forward to coming back. Todd

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!

Incredible ocean views! Enjoyed breakfast with sunrise every morning. Loved having beach chairs and boogie boards to use. Saw a monk sea on SeaLodge Beach. Unit was quite comfortable and nice!

The absolute best view in Sea Lodge, if not all of Princeville. Great unit. Very comfortable. Very quiet, except for the roosters, of course. Would love to come back in the future.

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.

Could not ask for a better location. Price was quite reasonable too. Had a good time staying there.

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".

The host was VERY responsive when we had an issue with the unit, calling me directly for a good resolution.We LOVED the location, having stayed at other Sea Lodge properties in the past, and this unit had the BEST view from the unit.We gave this unit 5 stars. The only issue that I had (I do most of the cooking at home and about) was the missing standard cooking utinsels, such as big, and big slotted serving spoons, a vegetable peeler, and the pots had non-stick surfaces, but most of the pots had scratched surfaces which is not as healthy for use as either stainless steel, or better quality cooking pans. A larger glass casserole dish would have been better for cooking fish or veggies overall in the oven. (this is only intended for constructive feedback to the owners, NOT part of a review.)Except for the minor cooking inconvenieces, we really enjoyed the unit, and staying in that area. ALSO, were were not provided with ANY reminders of paying outstanding portions of the other subsequent billings. When I finally checked out our itineary again, I realized that we were 'delinquent' in payment. When I found this out, I immediately paid the balance (on the SAME credit card that I made the original payment -- which I did not understand why it wasn't charged automatically on subsequent due payments). I did contact VRBO directly and was satisfied with the resolution by one of its managers. My wife and I were very happy with our stay.

Generally, the property was a decent, well equipped studio sized apartment in a convenient Northshore location. Several previous reviewers commented about its dated appearance, which we found to be true.We stayed here for nine evenings and were only allowed two small bars of soap for the shower and wash basin, and were told to provide our own, when we requested another. Truly, Management should have just brought us another bar of soap. The fridge compressor made high pitched squealing noises like it's ready to fail. This happened during the day, and also every night, waking us up. This needs to get fixed for the next tenants. Carpet tacks were exposed at entry to bath area. This is a real danger to bare feet.Kitchen faucet spray selector was cracked. Bathroom towel bar bent. Kitchen sink hot/ cold taps were reversed. All these items were noted to reservations.However, the pros are that we appreciated all the ocean gear like the umbrella and sun chairs, and the ocean views are spectacular.

The view from the unit can’t be beat. That may make a stay here worth it, regardless of the other challenges we encountered. The first floor bedroom is a double bed, not queen bed as listed. This can be hard for a tall guest. The first floor bathroom tank kit was broken and the tank ran constantly without us fixing it by had after every use. We texted the manager three times for repair and got no reply. That was very disappointing. The freezer ran very loudly for hours. We were not sure it would last the full week were rented. Finally, both the stove and refrigerator had rust on them. Although they were clean, it was not the quality we expected given the rental cost.Although we had a lovely visit to the island and the view was spectacular, I am writing an honest review of the unit and lack of response from management company so others can learn from our experience.

We absolutely loved our stay here. When we entered we were mesmerized by the incredible ocean view. Everything was spotless and the bed was super comfy. It was great to have beach chairs, an umbrella, and snorkeling gear. If you are looking for a place with a good pool, the one thing I will say is that the pool there is ice cold. Too cold for me to go in.

Positives were many: We couldn't have asked for a better view. The binoculars were a plus for whale watching and star gazing from the living room. Conveniently located to shops and restaurants. Kitchen was well stocked.A couple of negatives: The mattress was a little squishy and caused back discomfort. The neighbors above us had heavy feet which were a bit annoying.

We had an amazing time here. The views from this condo just cannot be captured in photos. We found ourselves wanting to stay there as much as we could, so we could get maximum enjoyment from the ever-changing view. When you are there watching the view, you forget you are in a condo community. It is very quiet and private, though in Princeville, you are surrounded by your choice of activities, restaurants and options. The apartment has everything you need, and the owner is a great communicator!

Incomparable view, window sunbed literally above the cliff near crashing waves, turtles and rays swimming below, sunrise line of sight, etc. A couple minor fixes needed with bathtub faucet sticking (pull with both hands with full bodyweight), a ceiling lightbulb out near window, and screen door wheels sliding off the track
