Oceanfront Princeville Condo | 180° Views | Top-Floor Retreat

Summary:

Experience the magic of Kauai’s North Shore from an oceanfront Princeville retreat with spectacular 180° Pacific views. Sealodge G9 is an intimate, peaceful getaway designed for couples, with sunrise views from the bedroom, a private lanai, refreshing trade winds, and the sound of waves below. Explore Hanalei and the North Shore by day, then return to your own oceanfront sanctuary to relax and watch the sunset.

*New Manager - Previously 100+ Reviews / 4.8 Star Rating!



The Space:

Welcome to Sealodge G9—a top-floor oceanfront retreat where the beauty of Kauai surrounds you from the moment you wake up.



The condo’s elevated position provides sweeping views across the Pacific, reef, rugged coastline, and toward the Kilauea Lighthouse. The ocean can be enjoyed from throughout the home, but the private lanai is the perfect place to slow down with morning coffee, an afternoon drink, or an evening sunset.



Inside, the recently refreshed one-bedroom condo offers a comfortable and inviting space for two. The updated kitchen opens into the dining and living areas, making it easy to prepare a meal, relax together, and enjoy the view without ever feeling separated from the spectacular surroundings.



The bedroom is especially memorable, with ocean views that make sunrise part of your stay rather than something you have to go looking for.



Keep an eye on the water for Hawaiian green sea turtles and spinner dolphins, and during whale season, watch the horizon for humpback whales passing along the coast.



Beyond the condo, Princeville puts you within easy reach of Hanalei Bay, Hanalei town, beaches, hiking, golf, restaurants, and local shops. After a day of adventure, return to the peaceful grounds of Sealodge and let the ocean set the pace.



Guest amenities include:



Private ocean-view lanai

Shared Sealodge pool

Updated kitchen

Washer and dryer

On-site parking

Ceiling fan and portable fans

Spectacular ocean views throughout



Please note: The condo is located on the third floor and there is no elevator. The path to Sealodge Beach is steep and can be slippery when wet. There is no air conditioning; the condo relies on its elevated location, trade winds, ceiling fan, and portable fans for cooling



Guest Access:

Guests at Sealodge have access to the shared outdoor pool and landscaped grounds, perched on the oceanfront bluffs of Princeville overlooking the Pacific. The condo also includes a private entrance with a lit path for easy arrivals after dark, on-site parking, and a washer and dryer for added convenience.



The Neighborhood:

Princeville is Kauai's green North Shore at its most dramatic: deep blue water below, mountain rainbows above, and Hanalei Bay down the hill. Princeville Center is handy for groceries, coffee, and a casual meal, while Anini Beach offers gentler water on many days. Drive into Hanalei for its shops, taro-country scenery, and broad crescent of sand. This is the right side of Kauai for families and couples who want slow mornings, beach time, and lush scenery rather than town bustle.



Getting Around:

Lihue Airport is about 40 minutes away via a scenic drive along Kauai's coast. A rental car is highly recommended since the North Shore's beaches, restaurants, and Hanalei's shops are spread out. Princeville itself offers walkable access to some shops and dining, while beaches like Hanalei Bay are a short drive. Parking is typically available in lots or driveways at most properties.



Other Things to Note:

• This rental is located on floor 3 (the ocean view makes every step worth it).

• The path to SeaLodge Beach is steep and can be slippery when it rains. Please use caution.

• Smoking is not permitted

• Parties are not permitted

• This property is managed by Heavenly Vacations.

• All guests shall abide by Heavenly's good neighbor policy and shall not engage in illegal activity.

• Quiet hours are from 10:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m.

Our local Heavenly Vacations Kauai team is just a call or message away throughout your stay. We are always happy to share our favorite places to enjoy on the Garden Isle, and we are here to help right away should any issue arise. We respect your privacy and are here whenever you need us.

Walking to private beach was worth the stay alone. Gets a little hot with no air condition. However, worth the sacrifice for the view, private beach and size of the condo.

Well equipped condo with a million dollar view

The view from this condo was amazing. You have to climb to the third floor but it was really worth it. There is plenty of beach gear, an extremely complete kitchen and nice touches all around. The location is great for exploring the north shore of Kauai and we will definitely book again if we are back in the area. This was our first Vacasa stay and it has set the mark high for all others to be measured against.

Amazing views that go on forever

What an amazing place to stay and base camp out of for North shore surfing and hiking or just stay and chill. The sunrises, the sunsets and everything in between are just fabulous! What’s the down side? It is up three flights of stairs and there’s no A/C. I don’t think A/C is needed because there is almost always a breeze blowing 10-15 miles an hour, but if they do stop there’s a ceiling fan and floor fans. It is so worth it!

Best view in Hawaii

We stayed in this condo for 4 nights and it was perfect. After staying on the south end of the island for a few nights, we were nervous of the lack of air conditioning in this unit, but it was absolutely not necessary. The building is situated so it catches the ocean breezes and is very comfortable. The view is incomparable and we spent a lot of hours just sitting in the breeze staring out at the reef. We appreciated the decor and amenities provided, including a few complimentary dishwasher tablets and laundry pods! Those were unexpected and definitely appreciated. The Sealodge Beach was tricky to find, but it was quiet and provided some great snorkeling for us beginners. We would definitely recommend this condo for a couple looking to get away to a quiet spot!

Great views, worn property

We've been staying at G9 off and on for decades, and love the view and location, but wish the current owners would give the place some TLC. Some of the furniture is new, which we appreciate, but some is old and cluttered with stuff, and the tub has really gotten disgusting. It just needs replacing, or at the minimum new grout. Windows have become almost impossible to open, and need maintenance. We do love Sealodge, though, for the views. And appreciate Vacasa being available when we couldn't get the very long digital entry code to work, in the winds and the rains, it was so frustrating! Appreciate Vacasa helping us get in! The views are great, good for a couple but definitely not a good place for kids, or if you want an easily-accessible beach.

Awesome Condo

We have stayed in G9 before and love this unit. The views are awesome. The unit was extremely clean and well furnished. Upgrades have been made since our last stay and we love the changes. The bed was very comfortable and the new sofa was welcome. The unit was well equipped. There was a welcome packet of paper towels, coffee pods, and toilet tissue. We usually stop at Walmart for staples like extra garbage bags, sandwich bags, and shampoo. We pick up some spices and salt and pepper. Things go bad quickly in the humid air. We love this unit for the lovely breezes, view, and privacy. It is on the top floor so there are quite a few stairs going up. My husband and I are in our early 70’s and in good health so the stairs are no problem. Every step is worth the incredible views, ocean breeze, and privacy. Five Stars.

Exceeded our expectations

This is our first time visiting Kauai and it has been amazing. Sealodge G9 exceeded our expectations. We ended up getting a later flight, so we missed a day here and got in when it was dark. That was disappointing, but waking up to the sun rising from our bed made up for it. The view and breeze from every room was incredible…breathtaking. The roosters crowed every morning, which I didn’t mind at all, because it prevented us from missing the gorgeous sunrises every morning. We took a little hike to the private beach, which I must warn was a little scary for me on the way there, especially because my hands were full. There is just a section with a narrow path with the rocks and ocean below. I felt better on the way back up. seemed less scary. I wouldn't say it was my personal favorite beach, but it may be worth checking out if you don’t want to drive to a beach. I will definitely make this our home away from home again when visiting Kauai.

Unforgettable View, Vacasa was great

This is a wonderful unit - The view is amazing! Unforgettable sunrises. Loved the sound of the waves on the barrier reef and watching the tides roll in and out. We hiked down to Sealodge Beach which was a great way to spend a few hours. The location is excellent, and makes a perfect launching point to visit other beaches and restaurants etc. (if you can bear to leave the view). The windows were abundant and clean. The interior is showing a little wear and could use some paint touch up here and there though overall it's extremely clean and fresh in a 'beach cottage' type of way. The patio table and chairs are more for looks than comfort (though I did appreciate they were bistro height for a better view above the rail)... but honestly those are the only negatives I can come up with. Vacasa was amazingly responsive. We asked if there was a shower mat somewhere (the tub was pretty slippery), and by the time we were back from an outing there was a new mat in a package waiting for us outside our door. Highly recommend this unit, and I'd gladly stay with Vacasa again.

Unbeatable views and a must-return

My wife and I kept reading reviews of this space that said "the pictures don't do it justice," and they were right! You're as ocean-front as you can get here (beach access not available from your doorstep, you take a short trail down from the parking lot). It's absolutely gorgeous here! We enjoyed many sunrises and the sound of waves breaking throughout our stay. The space is perfect for two, and the high ceilings make it feel much more spacious. Plenty of useful kitchen amenities, and the washer/dryer units were very helpful. The rental is now managed by Vacasa, and they notified us that we had to be relocated for the first two nights of our stay due to fumigation. We were really displeased to be removed from this Sealodge unit, especially because we had to pack/repack/move luggage and groceries from another temporary rental - but we understand the fumigation of the entire building was likely not of their control. Also, be aware that this unit is 3 sets of stairs up above two other units without any elevator access. You'll have to lug your bags up a lot of steps. Lastly, there is minor neighbor noise due to living proximity. We could hear some footsteps and closing of doors beneath us but could not hear voices of casual chatter through the walls. We will definitely be staying here again if and when we return to Princeville!

Beautiful unit with outstanding views.

We have stayed in this unit many times and it continues to be our favorite. If you don’t like steps, don’t book it. There are 4 flights and 39 steps. Otherwise it’s perfect for a couple. The bed is very comfortable and the kitchen well stocked. The kitchen is miniature. Very little counter space and no cupboards available to stock food. But we stay here a few weeks every year and it has not been a problem. The view is what draws us. Shopping is nearby with a fairly good Foodland. There are restaurants nearby as well. Our favorite beach is Tunnels for snorkeling. We love Haena beach for the huge waves in winter. Not really a swimming beach but perfect for walking, reading, and people watching. Another great beach close by is Anini Beach that is protected by a reef. Lazy days and afternoons are spent here reading and going for a dip in the beautiful blue water. The only complaint I have is the bar table and chairs on the deck. They look good in the pictures but they are really pretty useless. They do not work for me. Dump them. Give me some low chairs that wipe dry after a heavy rain. The deck itself is not in great shape. I’m hoping that will change by next year. Otherwise this is a very comfortable unit that we very much enjoy returning to every year.

Internet was not working, Pool was not working, and property was not clean upon arrival.

It was a beautiful property but I had some issues with Vacasa. The internet stopped working after the first day and we tried to get assistance from the local Vacasa team but they were no help. Finally have three days of not having internet service we were able to get internet but not with the assistance of the local Vacasa team. It just started working on its own. She said it might be the north area that is out of service but I told her that everyone else's internet on the resort is working so that's not the case. Upon arrival the property was not cleaned. There was food crumbs on the dining room chairs and the floors were not cleaned. Vacasa said the pool will not be in working order and they said they would refund a certain amount for loss of amenities but I had to call them and email them and finally they are saying they will mail me a check for 126. I still have not received a refund for the property not being cleaned. The property was beautiful but the management team at Vacasa made this an unpleasant experience.
