Our family of 4 loved staying at sealodge J1.
The condo is exactly as described in the listing.
Great location, just steps from the ocean. There is a beach access trail, but I did not go on it because it was muddy and slippery because of the rains.
I did enjoy the mile-long walk to the princeville resort, with the the golf course on one side, and the ocean on the other.
The princeville center is very convenient for shopping, eating, and booking activities.
There's also a library where you can buy a guest membership for $10.
And it's a 15 min drive to the charming town of Hanalei.
In short, this is a great place to stay on the North shore.
