The views are incredible. Going to sleep with the sound of the ocean is the best!

I come to Hawaii every year, and am an experienced guest. This is my first bad review. 850 for 2 nights and as soon as I come in, there is a broken ceramic vase all over the bathroom floor. My biggest complaint is the unit floor was so dirty you could feel the sand and dirt as you walked around. Picked up my foot and the bottom of it was visibly filthy from walking on the floors there. Saw some cockroaches too but that’s pretty typical for Hawaii, so I can forgive that. Brought the floor issue up to the host, Geri, she said “Sorry nobody taught my cleaning lady how to clean!!!” And resolved nothing on my end. The washing machine didn’t work, and the shower looks absolutely disgusting just permanently. I thought maybe it was in need of a clean also, but nope, just in need of full replacement, especially given the price of the place. If you rent here, just hope nothing goes wrong, because the host won’t really care if it does. The view was cool… but I’m sure you can find a view with a more accommodating owner who will actually give a hoot if you are dissatisfied.

Hi, Leila, We’ve already written you about our stay. What a gorgeous place to be! We especially loved the restaurant Postcards, and the hospital in Kapa’a was wonderful to Mr.Thank you for the chance to visit Kaia’s, to which we’ll return!

View was amazing. However, not private. Several days strangers set up lawn chairs in front of our view on the grass and every sunrise there was a pack of noisy people standing out on the grassy area to right (residents in units without views?). With all the people roaming around, felt had to keep curtains closed at night which limited air flow and lovely views of stars. Trailhead to sea lodge beach super convenient, right outside unit and was a very nice little beach. Parking easy and convent close to condo. We were excited to see a full size washer/dryer....however, the clothes came out of washer extremely wet and after three hours (!) in the dryer I gave up and hang them on hangers to finish drying. The unit was hot, there was a stand fan available but it is missing a blade so very noisy. The towels were very old/worn, sheets were new and nice, comforter was old/pilled, mattress worn out and stained. Pillows also way past prime, there were extras in the closet but only 2 pillow cases total. Unit wasn't super clean. The microwave was very dirty with something spilled inside. Refrigerator door very dirty and I ended up vacuuming the whole unit after we got tired of dirty feet. We had to rearrange all the extra chairs/pillows, huge pull cart in closest so we could even partially step into closet to use the closet to hang our clothes. Overall, we did enjoy our stay but felt we had way overspent on the rental due to poor conditions and lack of privacy.

It’s a great place to just chill! As my daughter would say, it had a great retro Hawaiian vibe. The decorations were trendy and colorful…like we were in a real Hawaiian house. I had knee replacement surgery about 1.5 years ago, and made it around just fine. If you do have knee problems though, just be aware that you’ll have to navigate stairs and a low commode, so maybe inquire. Loved the scene from the balcony.

The best part about this sweet little condo is the location and the view: gorgeous! It was super clean, comfortable, and the kitchen was well stocked, as was the linen closet. Definitely recommend for one or two people.

Great spot for our family. Super nice to have laundry and a kitchen during our 12 night stay. Location was quiet and convenient, and we really enjoyed our time in Hanalei. Sure appreciate having separate beds for our 7 and 10 year old. View of the ocean was amazing and could be enjoyed from every window, and while laying in bed. We enjoyed the sound of crashing waves every night especially when the surf is big. Ocean is only about 150 yards out but it’s also about 100 yards down the bluff with no access. Waves crash on the reef about another 150 yards out. No HVAC in the buildings but we found no need for it during January.

The rental was very clean and the views spectacular. We were surprised at the lack of small extra items such as salt or pepper. In most other VRBO properties we stayed, there were a few games, a piece of paper, a pencil, etc. The kitchen amenities were okay, but could use some updating. The same for the bathroom. It was clean but very dated. The queen mattress could be updated also. The views from the room were spectacular.

My cousin and I had a great stay or 3 nights. We wished it was longer, but we'll be back again! We had a pair of nene on the lawn several times and a pair of Laysan Albatross that were in flight in front several times. Mahalo Nui Loa for a great stay!

Great stay! The location was excellent and amenities were as described. This charming home has everything one could need and was super clean due in a large part to the no shoes policy. Views were amazing with lush foliage and a partial ocean view. As others mentioned, unit can get a little warm on sunny days in the later afternoon period but quickly cools down with the windows open after sundown. There really isn’t any need for AC. Appliances are slightly dated but in good working order. Bed was soft and comfortable. Lighting was a bit dim in the dining area but sufficient everywhere else. Parking was abundant and environment was super quiet. Pool was closed for duration of stay. The hike down to Sealodge beach was a mini preview of the Kalalau Trail as it was slippery after recent rains. The overall stay was exemplary as was the communication with the host Leila. Everything was explained clearly and timely. Highly recommended!

We had a great stay! Wake up to ocean waves and go to sleep to ocean waves! Fantastic communication and customer service! We did have the door/no door debate while watching whales from the deck. We came to the conclusion it would kill the views and impede on cooling the condo since no air. The lack of air conditioning never seemed to be a problem. A decent grocery store is very close. The beach walk is a bit of a challenge but absolutely doable! I loved the washer/dryer!! Could use some new pans as everything stuck to them but that was our only frustration…mostly resorted to grilling…problem solved! Comfy beds and nice bedding. Plenty of towels. Laundry soap was provided but I had brought my own. Advice: 4 beach chairs would have been nice, we had 2. 2 boogie boards as opposed to one. Road side fruit is insane! 18 for a pineapple!!!Get to the bay early!!! Nothing opens early like coffee shops…For sure do the helicopter tourWalk to Breezy’s coffee stand, watch more whales! Stars at night!!! Wow!!In all, fantastic company to deal with!!

We absolutely loved Sealodge G4. The condo is ground floor and you can walk out the screen door onto the porch and then the grass to watch the sunrise every morning. Very quiet which was the best part - nothing but the sound of the ocean as you are falling asleep. Condo itself is getting a bit long in tooth (fixtures are older, and it's not fancy) but everything was very clean and in good condition and functioned well. Checkin and checkout were very easy, and we loved the keyless (code only) access. Would most definitely stay here again.

The location was absolutely amazing! The layout of the condo was great and having two full baths was fabulous. The host was very attentive when we had a few minor issues and responded immediately and took care of them. This is rare in our experience with places to have things taken care of in such a short amount of time. The amount of paper goods, towels for both the beach and bathrooms were perfect, having the washer and dryer with soap was also a bonus. The description explained everything in detail so you know what you're getting. No surprises! The location to everything was fantastic! We would definitely come back!

This super cool condo checked off all the boxes on my list. My highest priority requirement was an ocean view and a window that allowed me to listen to the ocean all night long. I got both and it was absolutely incredible. The area was safe, convenient (close to everything) and so beautiful. We had so much fun there. And of course , Geri made sure all my questions were answered and that we had everything we needed. No complaints. I’ll definitely be back.

The unit is oceanfront at the end of the complex. The view is amazing. It is a bit on the smaller side, just enough room for 2 people. Parts of the unit could use some updating. There is a washer and dryer but when we tried to wash clothes on our final night it wouldn’t work. Overall it’s an okay place to stay.

Had a great stay here for 5 nights in December. The standout for this unit is definitely the View - it's amazing with the unit perched high on a bluff over the ocean. We saw plenty of seabirds and even whales right from small porch. The host was great with the couple things we reached out to him for - very accommodating. The unit itself was great too - exactly what you need and nothing you don't for a couple. Not really a negative, but with the windows open, make sure you like falling asleep to the sounds of the ocean!

Poorly maintained unit. Appliances did not work properly. Little or no response from repeated calls and texts to manager.

Appliances were not very functional. Dishwasher leaked making it unusable. Garbage disposal gave up and leaked water and debris. Dryer did not work. Otherwise the unit functioned even though upholstery was old dirty and tired. Great view but overall E2 was unsafe and long overdue for renovation.

Yes, as many reviewers have mentioned, the place is a bit dated, but OMG the views out of EVERY window are stunning and MORE than make up for any aging. The place was very clean and well equipped and everything was very handy.

Sealodge is a fantastic place to stay with gorgeous views from all rooms. Comfortable bed, nice shower, all the necessary conveniences, plus everything needed for beach time (chairs, towels, snorkel gear, etc.). The views are better than the photos. 10 minutes drive to Hanalei and close to other great beaches. A grocery store is minutes away with great prepared food choices. The north shore is awesome in spring to summer and just as nice in November. Fewer crouds, but the snorkeling is not as good. You will not regret staying at Sealodge. The only problem we had was with the WiFi connection. Very slow and sometimes not working.

We had a wonderful four-night stay here! The property is very comfortable, has all the conveniences of home, and even has many ocean and beach supplies to fully enjoy Kauai. My wife and I planned to use our Kauai time to rest, relax, and enjoy the beauty of the island--and this was the perfect base from which to do that. We truly enjoyed our experience and would definitely stay again!

The location and views were great. What we did not like:- the windows were dirty- there was no hair dryer and we ended up having to buy our own- there was nobody to answer the phone when we called. Had to send an email to which they responded the next day.- the shower did not work properly - the knob kept spinning.- the code for the door lock worked, but had to try several times because it seemed old/rusted.
