Located in the heart of Kauai's North Shore, Sealodge D7 offers a little bit of everything you need for the perfect family getaway: peace and privacy thanks to the top-floor location, unbeatable island ambiance thanks to the beautiful landscape and incredible ocean views, and a charming, well-appointed home to relax in at the end of the day. Inside you'll find two bedrooms; a downstairs master suite and upstairs loft with a second bathroom, both with dreamy ocean views. The comfortably furnished living and dining areas are perfect for unwinding at the end of a packed day, and the fully equipped kitchen allows you to cook as much (or as little!) as you would like. The private balcony lanai allows you to take full advantage of Kauai's temperate weather while watching the sun rise or set over the Pacific, and in the winter months you may even see whales breaching and spouting just off shore!

If you can manage to drag yourself away from watching the waves break against the bluffs just outside your windows, you'll find that you're conveniently close to all that the North Shore has to offer at Sealodge D7. 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 plenty of eating out options for casual dining close to home, as well as a Foodland grocery store. 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 (please note that you'll need to bring your own charcoal). 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! The path can be slippery and strenuous after it rains, though, so be sure to wear the appropriate footwear and tread carefully.

For those looking to explore the rest of the island, be sure to plan accordingly. 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 an upstairs condo so you must be able to go up and down roughly 20 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.

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.
