About this property

You'll love the ocean views, charmingly updated interior, and accessible ground floor location of Hale Momona. The sliding glass doors and picture windows face the water, which means in addition to a nice ocean view, you'll catch the tradewinds and stay cool. During those occasional times when the tradewinds die down, ceiling fans and floor fans will keep you comfortable. A Hawaiian punee (twin bed built into a living room alcove like a daybed ) provides cool breezes and ocean views, a perfect spot for reading or napping. You'll be able to watch endangered albatross soar gracefully over the grounds!

The bedroom is furnished with a queen size bed and you'll be able to enjoy watching the waves without even having to get out of bed, because the bedroom window also has a view! The modern (remodeled) kitchen provides enough space and amenities that you'll enjoy preparing simple meals at home and dining al fresco on your private ocean view lanai. Inside, there's seating for 4 in the dining area. And the lovely updated bathroom has a walk in shower and plenty of counter space to share. The guest laundry room is in the same building, and the swimming pool is nearby - just on the other side of the building - without being too close.

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 hike from these budget friendly Kauai condos brings you to the secluded north shore Sealodge Beach. The jungle trail crosses a small stream then descends to a secluded sandy cove, where the ocean is shallow and protected by a reef, making it ideal for snorkeling and swimming.

The Sealodge condos were built so you can see the rolling white water waves from the living room windows, the bedroom windows, and the lanai. From all three of these locations you can hear the surf, watch for whales, spinner dolphins, and exotic birds. There is a pool and BBQ area (grills are charcoal and you must bring your own briquettes). Sealodge is comfortable, quiet, and island casual.

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

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.

Cute Condo-Loud Neighbors

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed the location of the condo. We would stay in the same location just not this specific condo. It's on the bottom floor and it sounded like rhinos were running back and forth and moving furniture every morning and every night as we were going to bed. The condo itself could use a good deep cleaning as well. The trash and refrigerator had smudges all over the front. The floors were free of loose dirt but in the corners you could see grime that hadn't been scrubbed.

I love Sea Lodge

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I've stayed ib various Sea Lodge units over the years. This time, we stayed in F1. It was lovely though I did miss having a bathtub. The unit could use a few more amenities. It would have been nice to take some tupperware there so we could take our lunches to the beach. And some plastic forks and spoons. The outside chairs could use a back cushion to be more comfortable. It would ahve been nice to have a couople more bowls and another larger bowl for salad. Otherwise, it was quite lovely.

Best condo on the island

We were absolutely in love with our unit. The only issue was the pool closure but, the rental agency bent over backwards to make it less painful. We will be back.

Relaxing getaway

Three of us stayed at Sea Lodge, F1, and we could not have been happier. We went to bed every night listening to the waves, and woke early every morning to a beautiful sunrise with an ocean view. Everyone we encountered at Sea Lodge was friendly and happy to help out with any questions. We hiked to the little hidden beach and got to see a huge sea turtle on shore! This was a wonderful place to stay for vacation. We recommend!

Lovely views

The views were true to the photos, they are lovely. We saw whales on a couple of occasions. The unit could use some updates. The trek to the beach cove is true to description and is treacherous. A few of our party could not make the hike down but it was worth it when we made it. The rental company was very responsive and checked in during the stay.

Unit needs many repairs

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very unhappy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The unit needs many repairs, the bathroom window fell off when we tried to open it for air. The bathroom shower towel rack was falling off from the showe door. The shower drain was clogged. We found a large centipede in the bathroom towel drawer. The blinds in the kitchen was stuck and wide open, we could not close it for privacy. The microwave above the stove was not working. The living room windows were repaired with unmatched window replacements using clear windows, which further compromised privacy. The floor and shower felt dirty, I don't think it was cleaned. The only positive about the unit was the view. I don't recommend this unit. We provided KauaiKahuna, the rental managing agency with this feedback and still haven't received a response. Not sure at this time if we would use KauaiKahuna again. We used KauaiKahuna many times in the past, never had problems with vacation units, but we are very surprised by the lack of response about customer concerns.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great stay at Sealodge F1. There is a nice view of the ocean from the unit. With the windows and fans, it didn't get too hot inside the unit. Very polite and fast response times from the property manager. The toaster and a fan were broken on arrival, but the property manager had new ones delivered the next day. The lighting in the unit needs an overhaul. It was all very dim. Other than that, it was great. We especially liked the hidden beach nearby. There is a trail right out side the unit that leads to a secluded beach that is great for snorkeling!

PLEASE BE AWARE, there is no AC. A lot of rentals do not have AC on the island due to the price of electricity, that should be fully noted. The winds and fans did keep the room cool at night though, but when we arrived it was so hot. One of the little fans needs to be cleaned, it’s extremely dusty. I never received a message advising me that I would need to fill out information before receiving the access code to enter. When we arrived I had to call the after hours service who provided me “the first time access code”. We had one day left in our stay when they responded with the form that would need to be filled, and the form still wasn’t able to be filled because it kept saying expired, we finally got the information…but we had one day left in our 3 night stay. When we arrived there was a dead cockroach in the bedroom. I know there are roaches on the island and there is nothing really that can be done about that, but it just kind of weirded me out to arrive and there be a dead roach. My son got bit up by something of the couches, not sure what it was but he still has the marks on day 8 in HI. The people upstairs (which the host had no control of) sounded like they were playing basketball from morning until night. Nothing the host could do about that though. The host does provide you with goggles, snorkels, beach chairs, umbrella, and small cooler which is pretty convenient. The best part of all of this is the access to the private beach. It was absolutely beautiful. The hike is pretty tough so be prepared, but once you get there…it’s amazing. There were fish from the moment you enter the water. Snorkeling is awesome on the little beach.

Beautiful location, condo was very disappointing!

I have been visiting the North Shore of Kauai for decades and stayed at Sealodge on four prior occasions, so I know about the resort and have realistic expectations for the rental units there. This was far and away the most disappointing unit that I've stayed at. On the positive side, it is on the ground floor and near the pool. On the downside, where to begin? The bed was so uncomfortable that my partner and I both had to take anti-inflammatory drugs before bed, tossed and turned all night, and would wake up with hip and back aches. The smoke detectors had been taken down. The television was an 18" tube model (if can you believe that). The light switch for one of the wall sconces and the fan didn't work. We had four very large cockroaches and sugar ants in the unit during our stay. There were no serving pieces, no baking tray or pan of any kind. The microwave above the oven did not work, nor did its light for illuminating the stove cooktop. There was a counter-top microwave that was so small that the dinner dishes (only six provided) couldn't rotate in it. The shower looked as though it hadn't been cleaned in a long time, the toilet ran while we were there (I complained and wound up having to helping the repair man make it work), the bathroom sink was two inches deep and almost unusable, the bathroom faucet was so loose that you could move it in circles, the ceiling noise was so bad that it sounded as if a herd of elephants was matching over our heads, and the furniture (couch, end tables, lamps, etc.) looked as though it had been picked up at a "curb alert". Overall, the unit looked very tired, unloved or cared for, and that the owner had made a decision some time ago to not invest a penny into upgrades or basic repairs. Loved the location, but would NEVER STAY in Unit F1 again!

Nice location Needs Attention

True to the picture, this unit overlooks the sea. The grounds are groomed. The compound is quiet. The condo itself is sufficient for 2 ppl at most. It is dated and very poorly lit by old dirty ceiling lights. The porch light and a sitting area sconce did not work. The privacy glass by front door kept slipping from its anchors, so there wasn’t much privacy. The shower drain backs up. There was food and wrappers under the couch. The TV is a relic, and hangers, dishes and utensils are under stocked, but at least brand new dishwasher was installed. These minor problems can easily be fixed by management. I hope they will.

Wonderful stay with spectacular view

We stayed in a week during shoulder season and had a wonderful time . I would definitely recommend a friend to stay here . There were few minor issues but overall they did not detract from our stay 1. Pool was closed all week 2. Since most activities are during the day , there were some early Tv nights . Tv was small and standard definition 3. There was no A/c however there was a cool breeze and we purchased an inexpensive fan to help during the day Overall we had a great time , thank you for the homeowners !!!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I booked this property for the location and the views. Both were spot on. Everything else, not so much. I'm not picky and do not need updated everything. Yes, much of the condo could use a major update. It was the non-functioning and broken items that bothered us, as well as the lack of any breeze due to other units blocking that amenity. Dishwasher didn't work. Not a big deal as we typically handwash our stuff just being two people. But they prefer you run everything through the dishwasher at the end. Broken. Half the light switches didn't work. Not even sure what they were for. One, to a wall lamp, made electrical noises when turning on and felt it was a fire hazard. Several windows wouldn't close properly. Towel bar on shower door was broken. Crumbs on floor tucked under the bottom edge of cabinets and stove area. The list of these little things go on. It's apparent this unit isn't visited often, if at all, by the owners. But, oh the views. Waterfall on mountains from the kitchen window. Rolling grassy knolls, palm trees, and ocean from the lanai. However, these can be had from several of the other units, which we will be choosing from next time. Skip this one until repairs have been made, my friends.
