Sealodge-H7: Come for the view, stay for the aloha [Princeville, Kauai ]

On a green ocean bluff in the middle of the blue Pacific Ocean, on the north shore of Hawaii's northernmost island -- "The Garden Isle" -- is where you'll find Sea Lodge -- a small condominium complex perfect for your next vacation escape.

Sea Lodge II is the newer of the two adjoining Sea Lodge condo complexes (built in the 70's). It's small, quiet, comfortable and laid back -- like Kauai. Come to relax, breathe in the fresh ocean breeze and get lost in the view: gorgeous sunrises, white rolling surf, rainbows, perhaps a passing ship or two and beautiful sunsets.

PLEASE NOTE: Some vacation management companies try to portray in their listings that Sea Lodge as a "resort", which sets the wrong expectations for first time guests. Both Sea Lodge I & II are residential condos, with individual owners -- so there is a HUGE variation between units. Some Sea Lodge condos are not well maintained. We like to think ours is (!) and we welcome all feedback for continued improvements.

Because Sea Lodge II is located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Princeville, we're off the beaten path but not isolated. We're walking distance from all the resort amenities of Princeville. World class golf, restaurants and shopping are nearby. The Westin Hotel, the St. Regis Princeville Resort, and Hanalei Bay Resort are all less than 2 miles away and the seaside town of Hanalei is less than 5 miles away.

There are several beautiful golden sand beaches within 2 miles of Sea Lodge II including Puu Poa Beach and Hideaways. Several more are just a short drive away, like Hanalei Bay and Anini, but the biggest surprise is the hidden beach just below Sea Lodge. You'll have to hike down a jungle path to get to it, but it's worth it. (VRBO may say it is a six minute walk, but no... definitely not -- more like 15 minutes!!)

Our two bedroom (NB: the second bedroom is the upstairs loft with its own full bathroom, but no bedroom door) condo still needs some renovation from its original 1970's style -- an ongoing project we've been chipping away at. Until then, while the condo isn't the most modern in Princeville it has ocean views that never grow old!!

If you enjoy golfing, there is a full set of clubs available for your use :-)

We can quote a discounted nightly rate, if you let us know your situation _before_ booking specific dates. Use the "Contact host" link (not "Book now") or for a faster response and better di scount conta ct us first -- be sure to watch the video tour with closed captioning on (press the CC icon). The video is available by searching on YouTube for Sealodge H7. (VRBO has removed video display from property listings)

Important note: the condo like most at Sea Lodge does not have A/C or central heat. There really isn't a need for either ...there is *excellent* air flow through the condo. So, if you really need air conditioning, keep looking :-)

Because this is our island home, the kitchen is stocked with not just tableware, plates, pots & pans, etc. and also with basic cooking supplies like flour, sugar, baking powder, pasta, etc. You're welcome to use that you need, and please replace if you use the last of it. We ask that you not use the dishwasher (there is a drying rack) and limit use of the garbage disposal to be noise friendly to the downstairs neighbor.

Please note: By default there is an 'additional guest' surcharge, per guest, per night, for more than 2 people, and a maximum occupancy of 4. This can be waived under certain circumstances, so please inquire by email before booking.

Mahalo.
