Newly updated retreat for two with stunning ocean views in each room. Private lanai that looks all the way down the coast, ideal for whale watching in the winter months. Excellent location close to North Shore hotspots like Hanalei Bay and Anini Beach.<br /><br /><b>The space</b><br />Sealodge E7 boasts amazing oceanfront views plus right in the heart of everything Kauai's North Shore has to offer! This well maintained charmer has one comfortable bedroom, an open living and dining space that gets tons of natural light, and a fully appointed and newly remodeled (2025) kitchen. The private balcony lanai is dream, with ocean views that stretch down the Anini reef. <br /><br />If you manage to drag yourself away from the sight of the waves breaking outside your windows, you'll find yourself in the perfect home base for exploring the North Shore. 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, and the Saturday morning farmers market is the perfect local activity! <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 trek down to Sealodge Beach, about a 10 minute, moderately strenuous hike, to enjoy a secluded stretch of paradise with great fishing, great snorkeling, and no crowds! Don't worry about laundry facilities, there's an in unit washer and dryer for added convenience. <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, however there are fans in each space and screen doors on the lanai to help with airflow.<br /><br />This is an upstairs condo so you need to be able to go up and down one flight of stairs. 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-017-046-9376-01<br /><br /><b>Registration Details</b><br />540050070045, TA-017-046-9376-01
