Warm and inviting retreat with truly incredible ocean views from every room. Private and peaceful top floor unit with no upstairs neighbors, plus a beautiful balcony lanai that's perfect for whale watching. Great location near North Shore hotspots.<br /><br /><b>The space</b><br />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. <br /><br />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! <br /><br />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! <br /><br />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. <br /><br />As with most homes on Kauai, this vacation rental is NOT air conditioned.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />Note: host requires all guests, whether they book directly or via a third party website, to complete a rental agreement within 3 days of booking. <br /><br />Hawaii Vacation Rental Registration Number TA-127-865-4464-01<br /><br /><b>Registration Details</b><br />540050120017, TA-127-865-4464-01
