About this apartment rental
Sealodge G8 is beautiful and welcoming home-away-from-home that has some of the best views on the entire island! Situated in the heart of Princeville, your cozy escape has two bedrooms that look right out over the water, a comfortable and well-appointed living and dining area, and a fully equipped kitchen. There's also a private lanai that looks all the way down the North Shore, and in the winter months you can watch whales and their calves breaching just off shore.
If you're able to tear yourself away from the sight of the waves crashing into the shore just outside your windows, you'll find that you're conveniently close to all that the North Shore has to offer at Sealodge G8. Anini Beach, just 15 minutes away, has calm, clear waters, and is great for snorkeling and swimming. The beautiful golden beaches of Hanalei Bay are also just 15 minutes away, and the water is gentle and shallow, great for swimmers of all ages. The charming Hanalei town is right nearby as well, and has all the boutique shopping and delicious eating you could ever want! Try some ultra-fresh fish at the Hanalei Dolphin, or grab a sweet treat at Wishing Well Shave Ice (if you've never had macadamia ice cream you're missing out!). If you don't mind a longer journey, Tunnels Beach is 30 minutes away, and has some of the best snorkeling on the island, and you'll likely spot some Honu (Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles) too! For those that prefer to stay a little closer to home, the Princeville Shopping Center is only 1.5 miles away, about 5 minutes driving, and has a Foodland grocery store, and plenty of eating out options for casual dining close to home! Happy hour at Tiki Iniki is a great way to pass the afternoon with a cocktail and an appetizer!
Of course, if you're after a true staycation, the Sealodge grounds have all you need for a relaxing vacation right on the premises! You can spend the day lounging by the complex pool and soaking up the sun and the views, or you can throw an impromptu barbecue using the community charcoal grills. You don't even need to leave the complex to have a great beach day, either, just hike down to Sealodge Beach, about a 10 minute hike, to enjoy a secluded stretch of paradise with great fishing, great snorkeling, and no crowds!
Looking to make your way around the rest of the island? Drive time to the East Side (where the airport is located) is roughly 50 minutes, and to the South Shore is 75 minutes.
As with most homes on Kauai, this vacation rental is NOT air conditioned.
This is a third-floor condo so you need to be able to go up and down roughly 30 stairs. Additionally, there are stairs inside the unit itself. 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.

The property was a nice location with great views. However, some maintenance needs to be done. The window screens need to be functional especially since the unit is not air conditioned and the coffee pot needs to function properly. The unit does have great amenities for occupants to use at the beach which were much appreciated!

Great condo, very quiet neighborhood. Amazing view which makes up for the place being a little outdated.

The views and location are amazing! Waking up to the sunrise and ocean every morning was awesome! The condo was nicely equipped with beach supplies and a cooler. Appears that some updates have been done to the bathrooms but the condo smelled extremely musty. The carpet needs removed and maybe some laminate or something placed and replacing the kitchen cabinets might help. (We’ve stayed in other condos on the beach and none have been this “musty” smelling) The folding door to the master was broken so it could not be shut so the porch light shined right on the bed all night. Despite these minor issues we would recommend this condo!

Went on a Mom and Daughter weekend trip to Kauai. The G8 condo at sea lodge was perfect! 2 bedrooms and bathrooms, beautiful view of the ocean, fell asleep to the sound of waves! It was amazing.

This property had everything needed with amazing views! Close to everything yet far away enough for seclusion. Disc golf course close by with cool locals to play with. Dining with views close as well!

We've been coming to The Sealodge condos for decades. They never fail to disappoint. In the perfect location, you don't even need to leave your bed to see the morning sunrise over the lighthouse and ocean. Spectacular beaches on the North Shore...never a crowd, sometimes there were only 5 other couples on the whole beach. We don't even bother going to the South side of the island because the North side is by far more beautiful. G8 was well appointed with linens, towels and kitchen supplies. Endless channels on the tv. Even had beach towels, chairs and umbrella! Loved it!!!

We came back a second year in a row because the location is so spectacular. Sometimes being in your “room” on vacation can feel like lost time, but every moment here is sea breeze and ocean/reef view. This unit is comfortable and has good usable spaces. Management is great too.

Great views from the condo with good winds to keep it cool. About a 15 minute drive down to hanalei and further to the north beaches which I really enjoyed! Sea lodge beach is a nice hike down, but not super swimable.

We rented a Sealodge unit five or so years ago, and returned for a second time this February. A quaint, somewhat funky, complex that is a perfect basecamp for visits to Hanalei and Anini Beach. The pool wasn't working, but not a deal-breaker for us. (Might be for a family.) The unit itself was just fine for the two of us.

The location and views are fabulous. Property management was very friendly and accommodating. Plenty of extra towels and bedding. They had all you need for beach days. Washer and dryer was very convenient( had to buy laundry detergent)The Wi-Fi was troublesome but they gave instructions for any issues. We absolutely loved this rental and when we return, we will stay here again. Thank you for your part in our wonderful vacation.

We were in SeaLodge G8. The views were SPECTACULAR, as was the location- that's worth the price. However, we had to contact the property manager MULTIPLE times and were then denied a requested late check-out, as the "owner" was coming next (we were told by a reliable source that the "owner" owned MANY properties, so I'm not sure I buy this idea, but oh well). What was an issue? An outdated, in need of repair dishwasher that had a door repaired while we were there; a broken dryer, "made good" with two rolls of quarters (thank you) to use at the properties' laundry facility (I haven't used a pay machine since college); no A/C (got used to it, and the sea breezes are incredible, but just note to self); possible termites; broken screens on two windows. So, did they address our concerns? To the best of their ability, yes. We did get quarters, and there were attempts to fix the screens and dishwasher door. But keep in mind your calls to Kauai Kahuna are going to TEXAS (!!!), and that the company has two on-island maintenance people trying to meet the needs of many. The location, community, and views are MAGNIFICENT, and the island vibes are real. But some real time needs to be spent updating some of the facilities, and with traffic returning after the pandemic, there is a lot of stress on that system. As a home base for the exploration of the island, it works. Just be prepared to spend some vacation time trying to get things to be made right. It was unexpected, and, kinda like watching a movie where an actor breaks the fourth wall, ended the "suspension of disbelief," if the analogy works. My family and I were on vacation, not expecting the trappings of day-to-day homeownership or rentals.

Overall very enjoyable stay. Condo is small but certainly was large enough for a family of four. Location is spectacular overlooking the ocean perched on a bluff in beautiful Princeville. Path to secluded beach with excellent snorkeling. Well equipped with snorkel gear (including two sets of fins) boogie boards beach chairs and an abundance of beach toys. Interior is modest but clean and comfortable. But then again who needs ultra fancy interior with the ocean views so dominant? Only word of caution is the add-on assortment of fees and taxes not reflected on the advertised nightly rate and not prorated to length of stay, will double the true cost of staying there if one plans for only two or three nights. Would return again for longer stay.

The views are stunning, and that’s what I came for. I could sit and drink that sea breeze all day. The unit itself is fine. Some minor problems, which seem to remain unfixed for years despite other reviewers mentioning them (e.g., TV volume can’t be changed—TVs are cheap!, dishwasher can’t open all the way). Management is very responsive, though. Very happy with our stay.

This is our second time staying in this complex, and this condo has even better views than the first we had, right out to the ocean through every window. Every piece of furniture and the beds are incredibly comfortable and invite group lounging. We loved every minute inside this condo as well as the time we spent outside. The place had a few quirks: First, the door of the dishwasher didn't open all the way, so to access the lower tray you had to kind of jimmy it up and out, amid rattling (and, of course, dirty) dishes -- a fix wasn't available (island life!), but the rental company was responsive and sympathetic and offered suggestions. Second, the TV volume was fixed on a low setting. We put on the captions to help, but with one dyslexic adult and one 5-year-old who can't read yet, it was just not pleasant to watch movies (and yet we powered through!). A couple other things were that the wind blew off a screen (not their fault, I think), the upstairs shower had low pressure (not enough to rinse hair -- but the downstairs one was great!), and the toilet paper holder was not affixed to the wall. Nonetheless! Other than these minor inconveniences, you really can't beat this place for LOCATION, comfort, price, quietude, thoroughness of instructions, ease of check-in and check-out, and the delicious pool. We will be back!

Cutest condo with amazing views and everything you need for a good price. The views postwd really do not do it justice. Views from every room and both bedrooms. It was very quiet and 10 min drive to hanalei bay. We really enjoyed our stay. You do need new frying pans though. They are horrible.

Our family of 4 enjoyed 4 lovely days at this perfect unit. Amazing location close to all the north shore beaches and Haena park. Everything a family of 4 could need. We loved hanging on the grass and watching the wild chickens roam, sipping coffee while watching the sunrise. Upstairs bedroom was perfect for our daughters. Little slice of Heaven on the cliffs. Mahalo!

beautiful views, good location, not walking distance to anything. The issue is this isn't a 2 bedroom. What is called the 2nd bedroom is a loft on the second floor without doors, directly above the kitchen. There is no privacy for this room. The other bedroom, doesn't have walls either, rather a sliding plastic door. This room does not have a queen bed either, as listed - It's a full. It would be more accurate to describe this as a studio loft.
We also received numerous emails about documents, contracts, rules - The "check-in" document alone was 20 pages long.
Again, great views, easy location - however, very small space and misleading description of apartment.

The views were phenomenal - simply outstanding!
The unit and complex were a bit dated, but given the great price I can't really complain. Would suggest updating the wood-grain slider to the bedroom, and a curtain/blind over the front door jalousie windows to block out the bright neighbors' outdoor lights. But again, a great deal overall and would recommend if someone is looking for this level of accommodation in a truly beautiful location.

The Sea Lodge G8 is in a wonderful location with spectacular ocean views from the living room and both bedrooms. We loved waking up every morning to a the sun rising over the water and going to sleep hearing the ocean waves and feeling the trade wind breeze. The unit was clean and well furnished with comfortable beds. The kids enjoyed being upstairs in the loft area. The kitchen was well-stocked, though the faucet was a little loose and lacked pressure. We also really appreciated the beach and snorkeling gear. (Though two of the boogie boards were broken and there wasn’t an umbrella, so we ended up going to several stores to find one.) The condo grounds are beautiful and the it’s well situated. We hiked down to the beautiful Sea Lodge Beach. Queen’s Bath and Hideaway Beach are also nearby and stunning. The road to Hanalei is under construction and only open during certain times of the day, so it’s important to plan ahead. Overall, we thought it was an excellent value and would recommend it.
