About this property

View from the top! Whale watching from oceanfront top floor!

Welcome to Sealodge F9! This charming oceanfront apartment is a fantastic value in the sought-after Princeville community on Kauai’s north shore. You’ll love the incredible views—watch for whales from your lanai or enjoy the oceanfront scenery without even getting out of bed! A few things to note before you dive in:
• The top-floor location offers breathtaking, unobstructed ocean views. Please be aware that there are no elevators and you will need to use stairs to reach this third-floor condo.
• While Sealodge F9 has not seen recent updates, it's a clean and comfortable space, and provides a more budget friendly option for guests wanting a great oceanfront view.
• Like many places on Kauai, there is no air conditioning. However, the ceiling fans, floor fans, and refreshing trade winds usually keep things comfortable. If you’re not used to the heat or prefer AC, you may want to explore other options.

We hope you have a wonderful stay and enjoy the stunning views and cozy atmosphere of Sealodge F9! Private, top floor apartment with OCEAN FRONT views at Sealodge Kauai! Sealodge F9 is the only top floor condo in the building! Perfect for your honeymoon or other romantic getaway, it offers privacy, panoramic and unobstructed oceanfront views, and welcoming comfort inside, all at affordable rates. This one bedroom/one bathroom gem shares no common walls, so all you hear is the surf. From your private lanai you can view the changing colors of ocean and sky at both sunrise and sunset.

In the living room, you'll find comfortable furnishings and a Hawaiian punee (twin size day bed in the alcove of the picture window). You can use the punee if you need additional sleeping space for a child, or to relax at nap time as you watch for dolphins or whales while the tradewinds play softly over you. There's a dining area with seating for 4, full kitchen, and washer and dryer. There are yet more oceanfront views from the bedroom, with its comfortable queen bed and adjacent full bathroom. In the bathroom, the tub/shower and commode area are private, while the vanity area with sink and mirror remain open to the bedroom, allowing two people to get ready for the day simultaneously. Sleeps 3. Additional amenities include smart TV with DVD player, phone with free local calling, free WiFi. The complex includes an oceanfront swimming pool, and a barbecue area (grills are charcoal and BYOB - bring your own briquettes).

Our Kauai vacation rentals at Sealodge are located at the end of a small quiet side road, with no through traffic, that ends at a dramatic ocean bluff. These Princeville condos face the ocean on their lanai side. A short, rather strenuous, hike brings you to the secluded Sealodge Beach. Shopping and dining are conveniently close, with the Princeville shopping center just a mile and a half away. The charming town of Hanalei, and the world famous Hanalei beaches, are a brief ten minute drive. Our Princeville vacation rentals at Sealodge are comfortable, quiet, and island casual.

As with most homes on Kauai, this vacation rental is NOT air conditioned.

This is an upstairs condo so you need to be able to go up and down stairs. There are no elevators.

Although this home has internet, the speed and reliability cannot be guaranteed due to the remote location and the service being provided by a third-party.

Condo was very clean. Everything needed except spoons, as soon as I noticed managing they brought a whole new set of silverware. Check-in and communication with management was great. Three floors was a bit of a climb, though the view was wonderful.

Wonderfully peaceful. Amazing views of ocean and mountains. Appreciated all the amenities, including beach chairs, snorkels, towels and in-unit washer and dryer. The bathroom and kitchen are dated, but fully functional. We are an adventurous couple and need a comfortable and functional place to stay. Not looking for 5-star resort, but got 5-star resort views. Sunrises were amazing.

Great ocean view

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The views are incredible from this property. The interior is dated and run down. The kitchen, bathroom, and mattress are in bad shape. We have stayed in other Sealodge properties that were dated as well, but they were not this run down. If not for the view, I would give this property a very poor rating.

Great views. We ate breakfast every morning on the deck as well as sat there every evening. Bright and spacious with two places to sleep in such a way that two people can each be in their own space. The building is next to the pool & near everything we wanted to do on the north shore. I loved that all the windows were open when we arrived so it was cool and not stuffy. The kitchen and bathroom windows have views of the mountains, while the others have views of the sea. There was a fresh wrapped sponge and a full paper towel roll by the kitchen sink & plenty of TP in the bathroom. It was also great to have a washing machine, especially the rinse and spin cycle. We didn't use the dryer; on plastic hangers everything dried overnight with the good ventilation. I liked being on the top floor too as no one could walk by it felt very private. Beautiful grounds too.

We loved the view and the location, about 10 mins from Hanalei Bay. Things to note: there’s no beach walking distance of the unit. The condo is perched high on bluffs, and while there’s supposedly a trail leading from the property down to the beach, we found it slippery and dangerous. Also, I found the communication with the property management, Kauai Kahuna, to be frustrating. We were asked if we needed anything, but almost everything was met with a version of “No, buy it yourself.” For example, shampoo, conditioner and sugar were not provided. The snorkeling gear provided was faulty, and while we were provided with replacements, it was nearly a 2 business day wait with no specific arrival time to plan our snorkeling around, so we spent 25 to rent snorkels. The VRBO's Cleaning rules upon checkout were quite strict, i.e. "Your 30 cleaning fee includes the laundering of 2 sets of towels, for anything other than that, launder yourself or be charged a cleaning fee." So the last night of our stay, I had to stay up while the washer and dryer ran our beach towels, since that fell outside of the "covered" 2 sets of bath towels. We also had to take out the trash ourselves. Not sure what the cleaning fee really covers at that point. While we liked this unit, we'll likely try another management company next time.

Amazing Condo

Located in a great area. We enjoyed listening to the waves every night while we slept. The lanai has an amazing view. We sat out there every morning to watch the sunrise and every night to star gaze. We watched whales and surfers from the balcony. We were worried about no AC but it ended up being just fine with the windows open and ocean breeze. Although it’s an older unit, the property is well maintained and provided all of the amenities we were looking for. We had a great time!

Love Sealodge

Sorry, the burners on the stove are funky. One doesn’t work. The kitchen and pantry area could use a deep clean. FYI, the kitchen floor is spongy and the linoleum is coming up in a few spots. Hard to maintain in a damp environment. Still loved our stay.

Wonderful place

Great location. Enjoyed the ocean views and sounds. Great spot for two. Beach chairs and umbrella were a great touch. Only issue we had was with a fan in the freezer making noise. The management was very responsive in getting it fixed the next day. When we come back, we’ll definitely consider coming here again.
