Unbeatable location with breathtaking views of the ocean, great access to a beach and reef, and incredible views of the sunset!
The unit is small but a slice of heaven for enjoying the North Coast's supreme beauty. We watched the waves by the hour from the veranda and enjoyed seeing the humpback whales swim by! Would return to this unit:)
Overall our family enjoyed our stay at this condo. Great location by the ocean in a nice, chill complex with friendly people. Everything about the condo was well taken care of, mostly. OK, so, we had to chase out a giant roach (might have been more) - we get it, welcome to island life. But. The folks in charge of this rental did not respond to any of our text, phone or email messages regarding these creepy guys. Gotta downgrade on that attitude more than the roach, which we wouldn't even had mentioned if they had responded.
Location on a cliff over the Paicific; listening to crashing waves and watching humpback whales from the balcony (binoculars), simply can’t be beat. Almost perfect. Only downer was the bed is not perfect, a mattress topper from Costco would make all the difference. Otherwise it’s a great property. Clean, modern and well appointed.
Our stay started off with waking to the sound of a jack hammer outside the condo as repairs to the sewer line were being made. We were not informed of construction at any time prior to our stay. The next day, as we were drinking our coffee, we found a huge cockroach-like bug in the coffee pot.

We were very happy with our stay at Sealodge. The unit was very clean and comfortable. It had everything you could need for your vacation including beach chairs and towels, boogie boards, and snorkeling sets. The kitchen was well stocked with anything you might need in order to make meals in. The location was great and centrally located for anything you might want to do on the North Shore. We particularly enjoyed Hanalei which was only a short drive away. The view of the ocean was phenomenal and the breeze at night along with the sound of ocean waves was relaxing and peaceful. The place was also very quiet and we didn't ever hear anyone else during our stay. We would definitely stay here again!

The rental unit has outstanding views from multiple locations in the condo, has newer kitchen appliances and is relatively well-equipped. However, the unit itself is old and has not been maintained as well as expected. Damage to both bathtubs (stain and rust), poor grouting around the tub, chipped paint around window frames and front door, spongy planks near edge of balcony, etc. No shampoo/conditioner in first floor, tiny soap supplied, etc. The front door keypad malfunctioned, so we had to use the lockbox key. When we tried to contact the rental agent, including use of the emergency number, we did not receive an answer for as long as 1/2 hour. That's unsatisfactory.
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.
The photos don't do justice to the views and the sound of the ocean from the large windows looking straight out onto the Pacific, with only a few palm trees and the sky framing the view. Sleeping all night long while listening to the constant sound of the surf against the shore at the bottom of the bluff was amazing. This was a great place to wander out back of the condo onto the lawn on the bluff in the evening and watch the waves and feel the breeze. I can't imagine a view any better than from here, just relaxing and watching the albatrosses skim the ocean.
Two bathrooms and room for six people also make this a great place to stay. The biggest grocery store in the area is a few minutes away, and there are beaches galore within a short drive.
I highly recommend this Condo for a Kauai visit!
Cons: There was a large tattered tarp covering the porch area outside our front door because the stairs to access the unit were under repair. We had to climb up then down several stairs with heavy luggage to get to the unit. This was not communicated beforehand. The unit itself was fairly clean but the windows on the beach side were very dirty inside and out, covered with small "tufts" of some sort of grey matter. The front door could really use a new handle, and stuck so that you had to put your weight against it to open. Also there are 2 keypads, one which is no longer used but it was not apparent or in the instructions so we were using the wrong one for the code at first. Easy fix- remove it or make instructions more clear. Pool was pretty chilly, might be nice for hot summer months but not January.
Pros: The view cannot be beat! Gorgeous unobstructed view of the water. The place itself was cute, nice size with extras such as snorkel equipment, boogie boards, beach chairs, coolers and a beach umbrella. The area is quiet and felt safe. The private beach was nice - sand was very course but it was pretty and not crowded since it was private. The hike the get there was also pretty. Overall we really enjoyed our stay but feel with a little TLC this place could be even better!
Pros: The view cannot
