This was our second year staying here. This year, we unfortunately had much louder neighbors than the previous year, with people stomping above us during quiet hours (9pm-8am) and people talking loudly on their patio below us at 4AM which was super inconsiderate, rude, disrespectful, and downright idiotic. We both woke up very bothered by all the noise that the fans couldn't drown out and we had to close our window just to try to go back to sleep so we had to sacrifice listening to the ocean waves that we paid for. There were also tiny ants that we experienced inside the property this time that we did not experience last year. We love this place for the price and ocean view, but I don't think we can stay here again due to the thin walls and ants.
My wife and I loved the property. A couple things I would do to make it a better stay. The bed was very uncomfortable and hard in some spots. We didn’t get a comfortable nights sleep. I would fix the curtain rod and draperies, especially in the bedroom. The curtains wouldn’t close so there was no privacy in the evening. Other than that, we loved it! Hopefully next year we can book it again.
Location is fantastic, sometimes pictures make things look better than they are but in this case the pictures don't do the view justice. Excellent view of the ocean beautiful place to watch the sunset. The condo is nice for two people. My only suggestion would be to update the bathroom area. It's not as nice as the rest of the condo but certainly sufficient. We had a great time and enjoyed to stay
The pictures of the apartment is out of date. And the laundry machines were out of order.
Laundry was not in the unit and dryers were not working. BBQ grill was 3 buildings away and required charcoal. View was spectacular.

The space was perfect for a couple. The views of the ocean were amazing. I even loved the chickens that root around. The neighborhood is beautiful and the walks, farmers market, hike, and beach are all a must. I would go back.
Did not disappoint was perfect for recharging our batteries while soaking in the scenery

My husband and I enjoyed our stay. We were worried about no ac in August but the coastal breezes and fans kept us cool. The place had everything we needed and the friendly managers made it feel homey!

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.

It was so nice to open the windows, feel the ocean breeze, enjoy the view and just chill. It was just what we needed. Called with a wifi question and staff was very helpful and quick. We had a lovely time and would love to come back.

Great location, clean place, and it felt like being transported to a peaceful retreat! Cannot say enough good things - highly recommend!
The view was amazing! The unit quite old, not a lot of updates. The sliding windows and doors were difficult to open. The slider had a huge gap at the top and I had maintenance come to fix it. The plumbing was just plain super loud! I also found dirty dishes in the cupboard.
When I phoned the office they were very accommodating. In spite of the drawbacks I would stay there again.
Talked to the management co. twice and informed them we needed more than 2 towels, due to the humidity, and not drying overnight. Never got a pool key. also informed management of this. Really should invest in a washer/dryer, they're not that expensive, & you could get more money per night. It's a hassle to get quarters,, and go twice a week for laundry. Also need more than 2 small size soaps. It's little things like this that keep this property from being a 5 star.
The property location is beautiful. We didn’t realize it was located in a kind of Florida like retirement community. There was one centre near by for food and coffee. Overall the accommodation was quite dated. Bed was a bit small but comfortable. Bathroom was very dated, old shower curtain that didn’t prevent water from seeping out so we had chronically wet towels sopping up fluid that would never dry as it’s so moist in the condo. We were there during a pretty rainy time which was disappointing so our hiking things never really dried. No air conditioning. Kitchen was updated and functional but no stove. No washer and dryer and despite us inquiring into an on-site option, we could never find it. Hanalei was the highlight, nearby beach community with good beaches, stores and restaurants but the highway was often closed due to flooding. Overall, expensive for what you get. However we may have felt much different if we got better weather. Lots of hiking near by. No beach access from the condo, despite the description of a trail to the beach (this was quite treacherous and we turned around as muddy and we fell, despite us being fit!).
