It’s hard to beat the views of this place. We were blessed to even see whales out in the distance. Easy parking and perfect place for me and my wife. Would go back again!
Loved the location and amazing views. Rental is starting to be a bit outdated from the listing photos. I had to contact the management company about the extensive mold in the bathroom but they responded quickly. The window that has the cushion you can sit or lay on was super uncomfortable and made my back hurt within 15min of laying on it. We loved seeing whales and birds from the patio. Breeze was nice at night but needed the fans.
We used to live in Princeville and moved back to California. When we come back to visit the island we stay a Sealodge. This condo, by far, is the nicest one we have ever stayed in. It is on the ground floor with a fabulous view. It has been newly painted and refurbished thru out....new king size mattress, great living couch & TV. New washer & dryer. Very clean kitchen & cabinets. Decor is beautiful with many little extras. You won't be disappointed staying in this unit.
Pros:- great views and location. Super close to sealodge beach- nice kitchen and family room - great host communication - nice to have beach chairs and yoga mat provided! Cons:- marketed to sleep 4 but daybed is not a real mattress so not comfortable to sleep on. We used couch instead. - bathroom was moldy and smelled mildewy- limited kitchen supplies - no cutting board, storage containers, or pantry.
Beautiful location!!!! Great communication with the host.
Spectacular views in a prime and perfect north shore location. Cozy and quaint accommodations. Would definitely book again. Mahalo.
No communication, needed maintenance. things did not work, horrible cell phone lock system,
positive... beautiful location, comfortable
The condo was well-maintained, comfortable, and had great amenities. Loved the sofa and sitting bed beside the window overlooking the ocean.
We had a very good Time here! The view is spectacular!
The pool is closed the communication with the host is difficult (we got the check-in infos only a few hours before the check in ) but everythings else with the condo is great.

Manager of the appartment did not send us checkin instructions 24 hours in advance. She sent it only after we contacted her on the phone. Her instructions we wrong. For 90 minutes we could not get into the appartment waiting for a cleaning lady to drive from Kapaa to let us in. No compaints about appartment itself.

I agree with another recent review. The view was what made this condo amazing. This property has seen better days. There was a hole in the closet ceiling, cut to expose leaking pipes from upstairs, and a bucket was placed under the hole, and was about one third full of dirty water. It made the whole closet smell. We emptied the bucket and covered up the hole by placing it on something so it sort of sealed the hole, and some of the smell. The condo should not have been rented this way. Especially at the price charged. On a positive note the bed was comfortable, and we really appreciated the beach chairs and umbrella.

The best part about this condo is the view. It is absolutely accurate and cant be beat. If that is all you need in a condo then book away. Our experience here was less than great. It started before the trip when I read a recent review noting that the pool was undergoing maintenance. I contacted Sarah and asked if she had a timeline on when it would be completed and received a rather quick response "Ill double check." Sarah did not get back to me at all. The pool is down and we were told probably for the rest of the year. Ive asked for a partial refund as the pool was part of the reason we chose this location and have had no response. Sarah did communicate with us on our arrival day - I had a migraine and was very sick and asked for an early entrance. We did receive our code about 45 mins early. After that we never heard from her again - even after we reported that the toilet seat broke and could not be used. The other major issue with this unit was the water leak in the closet that still had an open ceiling and buckets under the pipe along with a very musty moldy smell if the windows were not open. The ceiling fan that looked new and the wires were still exposed, the socks and under garments that greeted us as soon as we walked in the door from under the couch. The sound transfer from the unit above was enough to wake us up out of a sound sleep. Every step was heard and sometimes felt in our room. I could add more but I am out of space.

This is a lovely little condo! Awesome view (as everyone says - it's true!), comfy firm mattress, cute futon window nook (for meditating, napping, or just hanging out), and nice art work on the walls. (Be sure to notice the paintings in the bathroom!) Kitchen was well stocked and we cooked for ourselves every night, so we used it a lot. Little porch/lana'i is wonderful for whale watching and ocean watching and bird-watching (and visiting with the local Kaua'i chickens). We did need to contact the owner/manager the day before for directions and check-in info, and some of the printed info in the condo book is out of date (such as needing a parking pass - we didn't). Once we figured out what number to text, however, we always got very prompt and helpful replies. So we took the initiative and all worked fine.
And you can listen the the ocean, watch palm trees blow in the breeze, and see the beautiful tropical sky -- all from your bed (not bedroom - just bed)!
Finally, the SeaLodge beach is a great walk and well-worth it for the views and small sandy beach with some rocks and coral. We didn't snorkel, but met people who had who said it was great!!
Whatever one has to say about the property I have to say that the view was spectacular. The property itself was clean and supplied nicely. It is a little older. Some of the electricity needs to be updated. There were some maintenance issues but they were addressed quickly enough. Vrbo sent us an email with the wrong property address on it so the night we arrived it was after 10PM, very dark and we were trying to get into a location that was not ours. There was no one to call or to get to help us and we thought that we would have to spend the night in our car but then I was able to bring up the orignal Vrbo listing and I found the correct property number. I was told that there was a pool. The pool was closed since January and there was no date given when it would reopen. That was very inconvenient in that there is really no easy way to get to the beach and while my husband golfed, I couldn't sit by the pool and we had only 1 car. Really those are little annoyances but on a whole, the property was clean, comfortable, in a good location and gave incredible views and sunrises eveyr morning.
This condo was in a beautiful setting on a gorgeous island. The property had all the features and touches you would want and was beautiful! It’s in a great location for hiking the Kalalau or Waimea Canyon. Sarah is a very responsive host - even on Christmas. We would stay here again and fully recommend to you!

We really enjoyed our stay! The expansive ocean view is serene and relaxing. The property was very well stocked. We would stay here again!
The property was clean and had all the essentials. I had a hard time finding our unit the day we arrived and my phone call was not returned. The pool was closed for the duration of our stay, which was super disappointing. I wouldn’t have booked this VRBO if I knew there was no accessible pool. The views from the condo were amazing and we enjoyed waking up and falling asleep to the sounds of the ocean.

The unit was conveniently located, and super cute. The relaxing scene was set from the walk way through the courtyard, to the cute screen door, to the adorable artwork and decorations inside.
The unit had everything we needed—wish we had looked under the bed when we got there though- there were boogie boards to borrow! The host had wonderful touches throughout, soft face wipes, extra toothbrushes, razors and more.
The views from all the windows were gorgeous. The crashing of the waves at bedtime are always a treat. We all loved the bed set in the window in the living room. We’d hang out there watching TV, reading etc. My 8 year old slept there and she said it was very comfy.
From the front door, it was a short walk towards the ocean through the parking lot, where you can follow a trail sign to get to Sea Lodge Beach. Fun waves, a bit of snorkeling. Gorgeous scenery of course. If you go, make sure you hang a left once you get to the ocean and keep going. The beach is tucked around the corner.
We definitely recommend staying here.

Took more than 12 hours for property manager to get back every time. Poor communication. Sticky floors on check in. Cleaning lady had to come out next day to reclean floors. 1 toilet paper roll for 5 days of stay. 1/2 kitchen paper towel roll for 5 days of stay. Ants in the house with no insect spray. Asked the cleaning lady for some and was told she would bring it next day but never showed up. A great view does not compensate for the cheapness of this place and poor communication
Trouble finding unit. Had all the amenities we were looking for and some extra ones! Beautiful setting would recommend to friends and family. Had a great time!
