An analysis of guest reviews highlights the overall positive sentiment towards the Sealodge condo resort on Kauai. Guests consistently praise the stunning ocean views from various units, emphasizing the beauty of both the ocean and the sky.

Beautiful place! The remodel that was done is spot on and done was upgraded touches. Everything was clean, had everything we needed and wanted and it was private and quiet. Amazing views and not far from Hanalei. Would give it highest stars.

Stayed here to celebrate my mom’s 60th birthday in Kauai. This place has everything you could possibly need. The view is incredible and it was awesome to fall asleep and wake up to the sound of the ocean. Also, the kitchen and bathroom got renovated. Sealodge F6 was just as advertised and even more.

This space is in a beautiful location! You do have mountain and ocean views from the outside deck and it’s an easy drive to many of the north shore beaches etc. The space was pretty clean, the only areas that could use a deep clean were the surfaces of the cabinets. It was really nice to have an AC in the bedroom. However, the bed was quite small for two people and uncomfortable. Updating the bed would greatly improve the space. The condo has really nice floors and kitchen appliances and there’s a cute little walk-in closet for all your luggage. We loved sitting on the patio in the mornings and having coffee. You can see and hear lots of birds and the ocean waves. There is also a cool little trail down to the water. It’s mostly lava rock and very beautiful, but if you are looking for a sandy beach you have to drive somewhere. Overall we loved the space, but I’m not sure I would book it again, due to the bed.

We loved our stay here waking up to beautiful sunrises and ocean views. The location is close to shops and restaurants and nearby Hanalei. The amenities were as described. This was our first time staying in this area of the island and we look forward to coming back again.

Great view, but noisy upstairs occupants. Toaster broken, fan and light above dining table not functional. If you accidentally (or don’t know better) lock the bottom lock, there is no way to get back in. Left voicemail and went an entire day with no return call. Love the SeaLodge, but this unit was disappointing.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Ideal location, well maintained, very friendly and helpful staff provided lots of insider tips to make our stay even more fun. Unit had all the "extras" we needed for snorkeling, beach days, and more. Pantry could use some love (there was no salt and pepper), but we were glad to find a bag of coffee in the cupboard! Our only disappointment was that the pool was closed for the duration of our stay.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Perfect size for 2, liked how they furnished and the decor was nice. Loved where the dining table was placed. It was like being outside while dining. 2 portable fans helped moved the air throughout unit. Squeezed one in bathroom to keep humility down, tight but made a big difference since there is no exhaust fan. Yes, the property is older and looks funky but the unit was clean enough with tile floors, newer dishwasher and refrigerator and lots of windows full of the beautiful view. Only incident I had on first day there was the beach chairs must of had mango oils from hitting trees or juice from skins but I unfortunately found out the hard way I have a awful allergic reaction to Mango oil, skin etc (same as poison oak/ivy) and ended up in the urgent care in Princeville. Left message with management to make sure chairs were deep cleaned to avoid another incident for unknowing future guests. Never heard back from management, but we did tell the cleaning crew that came as we were leaving. But now we know and still hope to return.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: View was great! Loved the back porch. Very Quiet condo compared to others we stayed at on the island. The bed is old. The pillows are abysmal. I feel if they were updated I could get over the bed. Kitchen was appointed well.

Very nice, well maintained property. We ziplined in Kōloa, saw and snorkeled on the Na Pali coast via boat. Ate at many good restaurants and saw beautiful beaches and greenery. The condo was well equipped for breakfast and coffee on the lanai. Love the well maintained and reflected roads in Kauai. Mahalo

The night skies in Hawaii have always been a treat for me as there is just way too much light pollution at home to see anything of note, but even more so this year as this unit provides a clear and unobstructed view of the north and northeast night sky from the lanei with no local lighting to spoil it. Indeed, the week of my stay, Pleiades, the entire Orion's constellation (including the the Orion Nebula!) and Taurus were visible with the naked eye. In fact, the skies were so dark that I was able to take legible pictures of it all with my cell phone which is completely unheard of. Jupiter and Mars were also present the entire week and being able to stare at it all for as long as I wanted two steps from the door wall was a gift from the Universe that I will never forget. As far as the area, there are restaurants and shops aplenty in the immediate Princeville vicinity, and even more in nearby Hanalei. Kapa'a is only 30 minutes away and is loaded with shops and restaurants and I made that drive multiple times during my time there without issue. There is also a path along the waterfront there and you can rent a bike or walk it until your heart is content...or your feet hurt, whichever comes first. lol All in all, Kauai did not disappoint and this condo with its amazing views of the ocean and Earth's wonderful nighttime sky was the star of the show. Book it now, thank me later.

We first noticed the incessant bites and itching on the second night. Neither of us wanted to admit that there was something seriously wrong because we'd invested time and money into this trip and the view from the front porch was great. But when you feel (and see) things crawling on you while you try to sleep, night after night, it quickly reaches a breaking point. They ate my girlfriend alive (figuratively... she survived)—her legs were covered in bites. After two straight nights of no sleep which included one night where my girlfriend had to sleep in the back seat of our rental car, we were forced to leave and overpay for a hotel room for our last night in Kauai. Other than the bugs, the property was good. Dated, but for the price we didn't expect anything fancy. We would've been completely satisfied if it weren't for the fleas, or whatever they were. Strong word of caution against staying here. Do so at your own risk. The rental company is incentivized to get you to pay a non-refundable fee and then fight you on a refund if you ask for one after your trip is ruined by bugs. Don't expect honesty from them.

We loved staying at this property! The view from the apartment is amazing and the location very convenient next to the pool. The 'secret' beach is the best. Getting there can be a bit challenging when it is slippery from the rain, but definitely worth the small hike. We can highly recommend this property!

The property was a nice location with great views. However, some maintenance needs to be done. The window screens need to be functional especially since the unit is not air conditioned and the coffee pot needs to function properly. The unit does have great amenities for occupants to use at the beach which were much appreciated!

When we first booked, we thought perhaps the images online were possibly enhanced. Well, the truth is, they actually did not do the views of the sunrise, sunset, and ocean justice. The accommodations were absolutely incredible, the location and views were jaw dropping! The property manager has thought of everything! Trying to determine when we will next be back!

My number one complaint is that this property was offered/booked for 4 adults, 1 bedroom, a sofa bed and a bed by the window. In reality there is only one bed in the bedroom. No sofa bed, and the “bed” by the window is just a cot on a wooden plank. Very hard and not suitable for sleeping through the night. So there we were, in Hawaii , 4 of us and only one bed while we paid for accommodations for 4. I communicated this to the owner but was offered no alternative. There weren’t even enough sheets to make a go of it on the couch until they delivered some the next day! This is unacceptable and I believe I deserve a refund for false advertising. Moreover, there is no AC and one of the ceiling fans was out of order and the other one was very weak. The shower was dirty and moldy. Drapes torn. Bed skirt has never been washed. I could go on. Overall the property is sub-par for the price. The view was the selling point but beyond that, the property is not worth the price. It is also difficult to locate and we were unable to enter for about 1/2 hour because they never sent us the link required to enter. I would appreciate Expedia’s intervention in some sort of compensation/refund for the troubles. We went there to get married and did not want to sour the trip with all these issues but the more we think bout it, the more we feel we need some resolution about this stay.

We had the most wonderful time at Sea Lodge. Our favorite part was the hike down to Sealodge beach. We snorkeled there and saw many turtles and even a large manta ray. We ended most of our days hiking down there for sunset and it became our favorite spot. We enjoyed the proximity of the condo to north shore activities and to Hanalei Bay and liked going there in the morning for a run on the beach and breakfast at wake up delicious. The condo itself is perched on a cliff above the ocean and has the most incredible views and freezes at night. No need for an air conditioner. With the kitchen and extra bathroom, you’ve really got everything you need. Definitely would stay there again.

It could use a good deep clean, the bathrooms are dated, our bed linen and covers were not clean, would not stay in this one again, views are beautiful from bedrooms and it’s very quiet property.

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at the condo. You really can’t beat the views. The condo has a nice breeze when the windows are open. Everything we needed for our stay was provided (beach supplies, kitchen supplies, etc) Nice location, near beaches and restaurants and stores. Linda the owner was responsive and checked in to see how we were doing. Recommend staying here:)

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!

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!

It is all about the view!

August 2024

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!

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.

July 2024

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.
