This efficient, cute condo was a gem! Views, views, and wow, views! It had everything we needed. Quiet & close to everything North Shore & not a long drive to every thing else. Sea Lodge beach was so private & beautiful. We would absolutely stay here again!!

The condo itself is super clean and updated, it's close to it's own little private beach (which is easy to get to when it hasn't rained!), is part of a cute and quiet complex with a pool and roaming chickens (of course, because this is Kauai haha). The views from the condo are amazing - you can see and hear the ocean from any room and it just made the stay so relaxing. 6 minutes away by car is plenty of food, snacks, and shopping - little towns but still lots of options. We really enjoyed our stay!

Everyday spent in the condo was fantastic.. we loved waking up to the sun shining on the mountains and the birds chirping in the jungle below. We'll definitely be back!!

Leila's property in Princeville is truly our happy place. We've stayed at her condo twice in the last year and fall in love with it more and more each time. The location is perfect - with views to both the mountains and ocean. Great airflow throughout the unit with windows and fans. The place is fully stocked with all the necessities including dishes, soap, laundry, cable/internet, beach chairs, coolers, beach towels, etc. Can't wait to come back again next year. Counting down the days!

Phenomenal condo. Everything was clean and pristine and could have almost anything you could possibly need for your trip to Hawaii. The view speaks for itself and the layout is beautiful and open. Walls are thick so you can hardly hear your neighbors. Even then, it’s such a nice sweet and calm quiet area to be in. This is exactly what we wanted. We were worried about the non existent AC, however, the ocean breeze can be sufficient. If you run extremely hot, a place with AC might be imperative to you. All in all, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend to guests! Thank you so much Leah!

We were very disappointed in the condition of the unit. While it had been cleaned, the floors still made our socks black. The windows were dirty which obscured the otherwise beautiful view. The lanai was dirty with fly specks and dust on the walls and deck. The furniture on the lanai was cracked and unstable. There were ant traps all through the unit, even on the kitchen counter with dead ants in and around them. Any repairs that had been attempted were poorly executed. Examples would be the caulking in and around the tub with gobs of caulk that absorb dirt and grime. Also there was a newer dishwasher but the bottom cover was missing and revealed more caulking and a powdery substance. The unit has a window air conditioner that only cools the small bedroom where it literally sits a few inches from the bed, complete with hand written instructions explaining that it will not cool the unit. Vacasa texted to have a worker install a new slider screen. We waited two hours for them to show then texted back to have them reschedule since we had dinner reservations. They never rescheduled, so no screen on the slider. Many of the blinds in the unit had been replaced, unfortunately the replacements did not fit the windows so the sun shined around them and through the sliding glass doors which have no blinds making the unit ever hotter in the afternoons. This unit was a big disappointment for us. Based on reviews and Vacasa responses we thought any negative reviews had been corrected. No!

Great Condo for two people. View of the ocean spectacular and 3rd floor location made for good wind ventilation for natural air conditioning. Short hike two beautiful beach with excellent snorkeling. Close to Hanalei for excellent dining.

Our Sealodge condo was fantastic! We woke up every morning to drink coffee and see the sunrise over the ocean from our lanai, and in the evening we walked out on the grass to watch the sunset. The condo is newly renovated inside with everything we needed. The AC was helpful when needed, and the location near the end of the property provided a sense of privacy. The property is also 10 minutes from Hanalei with beaches, shopping and hiking close by. It was wonderful!

I wish the owners would follow what the other reviewers are saying: change the bed, renew the place. It’s old, overused. So while you really enjoy the stunning views and the perfect location (north of Kauaii is our favorite part of the island), you can’t possibly ignore that this little condo is old and could be loved way more to help guests fully enjoying their stay.
The pool is good and very close (no sun shade though), maintenance guys are nice people (microwave was broken but fixed the same day. Dishwasher stayed broke for 2 days but it was july 4th so we understood that and the property manager was responsive). Limited kitchen tools. No little spoons and with a 4yo it’s not easy. No tea towels, you just eat on the glass of the table.
Enough clean but how much can you clean a place that is so outdated?

My son and I loved the beautiful ocean view in this condo, it looks just like in the pictures! Even though the property does not have A/C, the ocean breeze was so nice that it wasn't needed. I spent a lot of time in the balcony listening to the ocean and enjoying the nice breeze. The pool was also very nice and right next to the condo, which was very convenient. The reason for the 4 stars (instead of 5) is because there are a few maintenance issues that need some work. Overall, these didn't detract significantly from our enjoyment of the property. The bathroom has an issue with the water seeping out and we had to constantly keep a towel on the floor and replace the towel as it would get soaked. It would be nice to have a regular full-closed shower instead. The stove front right burner was not working and there is a need for an extension cable close to the small bed in the living area. The dishwasher is a bit quirky to use and we struggled to shut it as the door is too tall for the space it is in. Overall, nice property with a lovely view!

Hard to put into words just how perfect everything was, but suffice to say that, even through an island-wide power outage, D3 was the place to be. Island Heat Wave? Never noticed it with the breeze. Nenes at the door every morning? They felt like family. And the lushest, most vibrant bluff imaginable. Seriously...we were so happy to begin and end our days in a modest room that doesn't have to brag...the views are just that good.

We really enjoyed our stay here. We loved having a full view of the ocean and feeling the ocean breezes. This is an older, weathered condo with no AC, however the location is hard to beat. We were very comfortable with the ocean breeze, although we had the windows open the whole time. If you like a cold dark room with curtains drawn and AC cranked, then this isn’t for you. A short hike down a trail (.3 mi) takes you to a secluded beach only accessible to the property. Has a nice bay for swim/snorkel. The beach is sandy but the bay itself is rocky/coral. Can’t really ride any waves here, at least not in July. Condo is clean with plenty of towels and beach gear. We loved having a washer/dryer in the unit.

Great location. It has all you need for a beach vacation. You can watch both sunrise and sunset from the backyard, which is unique.
The condo is dated, but clean. The host did not respond to our questions/ask for help during our stay. I can't give a 5 * for this reason.

Perfect location with views of the ocean and swaying palms and a 10-minute hike to a secluded beach! Condo was well-maintained and the lovely host sent me a lot of useful information beforehand. Make sure you wake up at least once to see the sunrise, it is stunning! Princeville center is a 5-minute drive with shops and restaurants and Hanalei is less than 15 minutes away.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The condo is clean, comfortable, and sweet. We enjoyed walking the trail to get to Sealodge beach, a beautiful cove with calm waters and great snorkeling. The location is picturesque and beautiful and it was a quick drive to Ha'ena and Hanalei. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks for everything.

We loved staying here. Sealodge is removed from the main road and feels more secluded, even in Princeville. We loved the easy access to the Sealodge trail to the beach. Our condo view was amazing. It has everything you need for a week+ stay including cooler, two beach towels, and chairs. The bathroom does struggle with older plumbing but worked great for us. My only suggestion for improvement is the mattress. It is barebones and even for me (I sleep on a firm mattress) it was too much. I could feel the individual springs in it. It is a rental and not someone’s residence so it doesn’t have a super homey feel (no cling wrap, scissors, baggies, etc) but was everything we needed for the stay. There is construction happening all around the complex and that did mean sometimes right outside of our door, but it was only during the day when we were mostly not home.

The unit was a little dated and in need of paint but the view and location made up for it. Biggest problem was not being able to get Kauai Kahuna to respond or even answer the phone to help us with a problem. There were 5 remote controls for the TV and no instruction on which to use. Went 3 and a half days trying to figure out how to get volume on the TV. Never did get any help. They wouldn't even answer the emergency number we were given. Called it 5 times.

I'd stayed in Princeville twice before and always wanted to stay here. The views here are fantastic, and waking up the sunrise on the horizon is a sight to remember. It rained more than it didn't (late June), gale force winds most of the time (who needs AC?), and the lanai was basically never really dry, but you grab moments of sunshine when you can!
Check-in was very smooth, and advance communication was very thorough.
The unit itself is simple but thoughtfully appointed. The living room and the bed are comfortable, and there is ample closet and dresser space. The bathroom is very tight, so just keep that in mind. The kitchen is well-stocked with pots, pans, and spices, except there is no coffee grinder (we had coffee beans ground at Outpost Coffee in Hanalei). There is a speaker system in the living room with bluetooth, and the washer and dryer were very handy.
The Sealodge complex itself is lovely. Some folks complain about its aging, but there's a charm to it. Walking around the property at sunset with a glass of wine was a highlight (there's an incredible bench between E & D buildings on the bluff). Parking is ample, trash bins are conveniently located, and it's a quick hop to Foodland and Hanalei, or Kilauea in the other direction. Splurge on one dinner at 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay.
With the unit on the 3rd floor walk-up, it's best for the able-bodied, but we found it well-worth the view and not having anyone above us. Would recommend this unit!

Great location and stay in the Princeville area. Enjoyed the condo and the sunsets on the nearby hill in the evening. Beautiful views everywhere. Would probably book a place with AC if we returned to the area. We recommend your own snorkeling mask/mouthpiece if you want to snorkel. The ones available to use leaked with our experience. Had other great beach equipment available to use.

We continue to enjoy the great views and lovely gardens at Sea Lodge. The property improvements we suggested last year were made and appreciated. However, the unit directly below ours was being remodeled, so we heard and felt banging and heard the whine of power tools daily, despite the management company noting it was prohibited on Sundays and holidays. Our water and power was cut off more than once, sometimes without us being notified. The property management company protected the property owner below us, Kauai Kahuna made their money on the reservation, but didn't warn us of the impending construction. The C7 owners were probably unaware of this situation. We usually spend some of our days reading and resting, but that was not undisturbed this year. Also, the message was lost that the dishwasher didn't work, so we hand washed our dishes the 2 weeks we were there. This was our first real disappointment with our Sea Lodge experiences over the last 15-20 years. We will likely go back next year, but expect to not be so mistreated.

My wife and I stayed here while on Kaua’i for our anniversary this year. We have been to the islands several times, and this place is by far the best on the island. It’s clean, comfortable, and the views! WOW, the views. Best sunrise in all of Hawai’i. Hands down. Not to mention that Linda is incredibly responsive and makes sure that everything is covered. We will absolutely stay here again when visiting Kaua’i.

This condo had beautiful views, and was stocked with all we needed to enjoy the beach (chairs, umbrella, small cooler.) Beautiful view of the sunrise in the morning, saw lots of albatross and seabirds flying by. If you walk around to the other side of the condo complex there’s a beautiful view of the sunset. The trail down to sea lodge beach is near this unit, and was an easy hike to a beautiful small beach. However a few things could definitely be better. The unit was not clean. Other than fresh towels and bedding, most of the surfaces need a deep clean/dusting. We did a lot of cleaning when we arrived. With no air conditioning or ceiling fan over the bed the tower fans in the unit were a necessity, but they were very dirty. And this is not the owners fault, but the unit above us had what we assume is a dehumidifier hose running off their balcony that made a lot of noise and would wake us up throughout the night, the water would just drop past our bedroom window to the ground and was quite loud. It was too hot to close the window to block the noise. We did not get a good nights sleep in this condo.

I’ve stayed at 5 SeaLodge properties. Enjoy the view from this one, but no sunset views as described. Garbage disposal broken and didn’t drain. Toilet has to be manually flushed and overall could use a bit of a refresh. But for us, staying at SeaLodge is always a treat and with a little TLC this property could get 5 stars.
