A-1, a 1-bedroom Sealodge condo has new kitchen cabinets, counter tops, dishwasher, sink, etc. - April 2025. Â We also had the unit painted and installed hardwood flooring in 2024. Â This special unit is one our amazing ground floor units in the far back corner of the complex. Â Sealodge condo A1 sleeps up to 3 people (4 if two sleep in full size sofa sleeper). Â Its private lanai looks out over the sea, the reef, and the tropical foliage above the beach. Â Perhaps the best part is the outdoor space to walk out to daily or in the evenings for star gazing. Â
The unit is oceanfront at the end of the complex. The view is amazing. It is a bit on the smaller side, just enough room for 2 people. Parts of the unit could use some updating. There is a washer and dryer but when we tried to wash clothes on our final night it wouldnât work. Overall itâs an okay place to stay.
The location and views were great. What we did not like:- the windows were dirty- there was no hair dryer and we ended up having to buy our own- there was nobody to answer the phone when we called. Had to send an email to which they responded the next day.- the shower did not work properly - the knob kept spinning.- the code for the door lock worked, but had to try several times because it seemed old/rusted.
Perfect place for our needs, right by the water and close proximity to all parts of the island. Christopher was very helpful for any and all of our needs!
We loved staying here, the view was amazing! Appreciated the kitchen for easy meal prep, pleased we were able to do a slightly later check out, bed was comfy for sure. Only suggestions would be the ability to keep the window open a bit more with a wooden rod (shorter rod?) to enjoy listening to the ocean waves. And if we could have disabled the light on the fan (to keep it running at night) that would have been helpful. Hope to be back!
Location and views were on point! Ground level was amazing and being at the very end of the community offered a lot of great privacy. Our weather was perfect so the ocean views could not have gotten any better. The unit itself is very outdated. We didn't spend much time there so it wasn't our top priority, but it would have been nice to have a more updated unit, especially for the price. No AC, very weathered/rusted. Something to note, however, there are beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, and snorkel gear for your use! I reached out to the owner/property manager before our arrival to see if there were beach items we could use and we were told they weren't sure! We wasted a lot of money on rentals when the unit already had them there. I wish the listing added this to the amenities of the unit. That would have been helpful.
We stayed in sealodge complex before and this condo has a great location with the patio facing the ocean. We enjoyed our stay.
From the issues: the washing machine is only usable on the delicate, the door on dishwasher is hard to close, the shower valve is not fastened and moves a lot. For us this was not a big deal.
Super private and back door walks out to nearly private lawn on top of cliff. The door lines up perfectly with the next landfall: KODIAK ALASKA!!!
Whale circus daily!
Love this space.
WOW what a location! So blessed to be a guest! The ocean view from the king bed is still fresh in my mind a month later. The local farmer's market was just right, with fresh fruit, local crafts and macadamia ice cream. Bed was good and furniture in great shape.
That said: This place seriously needs a renovation. Like, maybe starting at the waterproofing (to check for mold), replace or renovate the windows and sliding door (which don't); consistent base moldings, a fresh coat of paint (throughout, not portions) a new shower fixer mixer (which doesn't come out at you when you turn it on), you get the idea. Its just real tired of being a rental and needs to be loved.
Ok so big thanks to Chris the property manager who answered our call when we realized we had not received the code to enter, then showed up quick and made the garbage disposal operate ... and tighten up the toilet seat so we could sit without sliding. You made us laugh and all was good.
Look, I'm not trying to step on anyone's dream here. It is what it is, and in the end, it is in Hawaii!
We enjoyed our 4 nights at this beautiful location overlooking the ocean. We highly recommend it, though have two suggestions for improvement. 1) We saw no way to turn off the fan over the dining table while keeping the light on. There seemed to be a remote for the fan, but it did not work. 2) It would help if the light over the bathroom sink was much brighter. Otherwise, everything else was great.
