Sealodge E8 offers the perfect blend of classic island charm with modern touches! This intimate and inviting condo features a queen bed, as well as a twin-sized punee (Hawaiian day bed) in the living room that's perfect for sleeping a child if you're a small family. The living and dining areas are comfortably appointed, with incredible ocean views, and the kitchen is fully equipped for you to do as much cooking (or as little!) as you would like. You'll also be able to take advantage of Kauai's temperate weather by catching sunrises and sunsets on the private balcony lanai, or even whale-watching in the winter months! The sights and sounds of the Pacific will fill every room in the house, making you feel as if you're just steps from the water.
If you somehow tire of watching the waves crashing into the bluffs just outside your windows, you'll find that you're conveniently close to all that the North Shore has to offer at Sealodge E8. North Shore hot-spot Anini Beach, just 15 minutes away, has calm, clear waters, and is great for snorkeling and swimming. The beautiful golden beaches of Hanalei Bay are also just 15 minutes away, and the water is gentle and shallow, great for swimmers of all ages. The charming Hanalei town is right nearby as well, and has all the boutique shops and delicious eateries you could ever hope for! Try some ultra-fresh fish at the Hanalei Dolphin, or grab a sweet treat at Wishing Well Shave Ice (if you've never had macadamia ice cream you're missing out!). If you don't mind a longer car ride, Tunnels Beach is 30 minutes away, and has some of the best snorkeling on the island, and you'll likely spot some Honu (Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles) too! For those that prefer to stay a little closer to home, the Princeville Shopping Center is only 1.5 miles away, about 5 minutes driving, and has plenty of eating out options for casual dining close to home, plus a Foodland grocery store! Happy hour at Tiki Iniki is a great way to pass the afternoon with a cocktail and an appetizer! If you have activities planned around the island, be sure to budget your travel time accordingly. Drive time to the East Side (where the airport is located) is roughly 50 minutes, and to the South Shore is 75 minutes.
Of course, if you're after a true staycation, the Sealodge grounds have all you need for a relaxing vacation right on the premises! You can spend the day lounging by the complex pool and soaking up the sun and the views, or you can throw an impromptu barbecue using the community charcoal grills (be sure to pick up a bag of charcoal at the Foodland!). You don't even need to leave the complex to have a great beach day either, just hike down to Sealodge Beach, about a 10 minute trek, to enjoy a secluded stretch of paradise with great fishing, great snorkeling, and no crowds! The path can get quite slippery after a rainfall, so make sure to wear appropriate footwear and tread carefully.
As with most homes on Kauai, this vacation rental is NOT air conditioned.
This is an upstairs condo so you need to be able to go up and down one flight of stairs. There are no elevators.
Although this home has internet, the speed and reliability cannot be guaranteed due to the remote location and the service being provided by a third-party.

We always enjoy our time at sealodge. There were some hangups this time but we still enjoyed the stay overall. Hangups were the internet didn’t work in the beginning and took a few back and forth communications to get it going. Biggest disappointment was the dryer had been ruined by a previous guest but housekeeping didn’t notice so we didn’t have a dryer for our 8 day stay.

It was just a simple set up with everything you need and nothing you don’t.

Though a breezy and showery week, this was the perfect place just to sit back and unwind and enjoy the views of the ocean.

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.

The unit is perfect for a party of two and the view is fantastic! The unit is older and could use a little updating, however, the location is both quiet and scenic.
We would definitely return to this property!

The stay was amazing! The location was beautiful and the sunrise was to die for! Had some grumpy downstairs neighbors but that had nothing to do with this amazing booking! Will definitely stay again!

We loved the view! Waking up to the sunrise over the ocean right in front of you was amazing. We enjoyed going on the balcony frequently and listening to and looking over the ocean. This is such a nice place to be and everything related to our stay here was amazing. Check out seaside beach too! One thing we wish we did differently would be to spend more time around the condo and relaxing but if we went back to Kauai we would definitely stay here again. Thank you for your hospitality! All the things for us to use were really nice and made the trip even better!

We have stayed in this Sealodge unit several times. This visit our unit was having kitchen upgrades that were not done by the time of our arrival. Kauai Kahuna was extremely helpful in communicating with and relocating us to another unit. Great customer service. I will definitely book through them again.

We stayed at Sealodge E8 and it was very clean with amazing views. The property management team was awesome. They called before our trip to ensure we received all necessary information and then called after checking in to see how we were doing. We would definitely recommend this property as well as the management team.

We had wonderful weather, and the property is perfect for a couple. Amazing views from each room. Washer, dryer are helpful. A beach cooler made day trips perfect. Will be back. Would give it 10 stars.

All and all, a comfortable experience. Would have been nice to have a washer/dryer. There were grease spots on the carpet. The bedroom pillows should be replaced. They were somewhat smelly from use. The mattress was hard. Get new fashionable, colorful, updated bedspreads— would greatly improve the decor. Enjoyed all the extras in the storage closets. The unit was very clean. I sense the owner does not want to invest much money or time to make improvements (better mattress, new pillows, washer/dryer)- no changes in 5 years.

Great location and loved the North side of the island. Quiet area and close to several beaches and trails. The landscape is incredible with both the mountains and the beaches. The property could use some updating but the view and the whale watching was incredible. Not to mention the private beach that is a short hike away.

Obviously the views were spectacular from every direction. Loved our walks in the morning and our views of the water. Aw whales several days!
Property could use some upgrading. Reported a new patio door needed due to the salty air and were already replacing the day they came to clean. Could use new carpet and Bath fixtures as well. Otherwise loved the place and the north end of the island. Had everything we needed as we had lots of activities planned.

The views from our rental were amazing. We slept with our bedroom window open every night to listen to the sound of the waves crashing. Rental was very clean and we had everything we needed for our stay. Location was great for the Northshore. Only issues were the sliding door and windows were hard to open and close. Had to put some strength behind opening and closing. Other issue is locking the front door. Only lock was the push button entry. Would have been nice to have a secondary lock that could only be locked when inside. Besides all that very happy with our stay.

We enjoyed the beautiful ocean view . Condo is very old with broken electric stove top . Afraid to use dishwasher because it is old appliance. Be careful Do Not touch wood window blinds that string are broken. If you touch them it is difficult to pull back, wood blinds would falling down. Bedroom curtains are not blockout therefore you would wake up early because light . Door lock was broke but next day changed a new lock. Check out is 10:00 am, clean lady locked our door at 9:30am and left clean tools right by our door . We like Sealodge but hope book a condo with update compliances and oceanfront view. It is a very unique place!

Amazing! Only bummer was the dryer broke and it took some time for the staff to tell us where else we could go. Very minor so overall the stay was great. AMAZING view from lanai. Sunrise every morning was beautiful and in effortless view.

This was our second stay in this condo made even more magical because we watched whales breaching from the living room. Sunrises galore over the light house

When you first open the door, you can only say “Wow !” Huge windows show surf and beaches, lush greenery and lots of chickens(!). The condo is well-equipped, although the smart TV is smarter than we are, so we had a nice media vacation. Great location to see the sights of the North Shore.
