Like finding a pearl in the sea, this hidden gem's modest rates do not reflect its luxuries. All totally new, floor to ceiling, upscale redo. Tucked into the center of the island, it makes for the most optimal way to explore the Island. But a short jaunt from Hanalei Bay, and Princeville! Just as the location boasts ease of exploration. With breath taking views of the ocean. Fall asleep listening to the ocean waves each night.

We enjoyed our stay so much. It was so nice to just sit on the relaxing patio. We would definitely come back!

Beautiful views from an older property
The view from our unit couldn't be beat - mutliple windows all facing the ocean. Sea Lodge is an older property and in need of some repair. The king bed in the bedroom is great, but the "bed" by the window is not an actual mattress, it is very hard and not good for sleeping. Furniture was worn and not very clean, window screens were torn and taped, light/fan in the bathroom is handing from wires. Just an older unit in need of some TLC.

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 Rental is starting to be a bit outdated from the listing photos.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.
Perfect little place. Loved the location and the view is amazing. Definitely will be coming back.

Great Views, Less Comfortable than Advertised
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.
It was a pleasure staying in this condo with its amazing view and lovely location! It had everything you could ask for and more. Thank you for sharing your lovely place!
It was lovely waking up to the sight of the ocean every morning. The condo had all the necessities and checkin was a breeze.

Great view
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!
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!
Clean comfortable condo simply furnished but exactly as advertised. Great location and million dollar view. Only issue was there were no bath towels- had to use hand towel to dry after shower. Kitchen well supplied and also had beach gear and cooler available. A great choice for singles or family.

great location, but not again
No communication, needed maintenance. things did not work, horrible cell phone lock system,
positive... beautiful location, comfortable
Great location with beautiful views! We loved the outside patio area. The place is perfect for a couple. The bed was very confortable. The second bed would only work for a small child. But we were just the 2 of us. Farmers market and restaraunts nearby were great. Bring your own coffee filters. Otherwise, nicely stocked.
Incredible ocean views, well-equipped and very comfortable
We were visiting from Maui and thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The ocean views (and sounds) are incredible! We are more difficult to impress with views, as we are spoiled by Maui, but the vast ocean view and peace at this condo are very hard to beat (especially for the price). The bed is very comfortable and the condo is well-equipped for all your needs. The picturesque hike down to Sea Lodge Beach (by building A) is an added perk!! I rarely choose to write reviews, but this stay was special. We were truly sad to leave.

This property has a view that cannot be beat! However, it is in need of some upkeep. Humidity and bugs were a problem.

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.

Christmas in Hawaii
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.

Problem with checkin
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.
