Property Description
Hawaiian Princess 1 bedroom, 1 1/2 bath end unit penthouse. There is no better ocean/beach view on the westside of the island than from the lanai of this 16th floor condo. This condo sits right on the beach. 850 square feet inside the condo, and 400 square feet of lanai space, for a total of 1,250 sq feet.
Watch turtles, dolphins and in the winter, whales from your private lanai. Open up the windows and let the tropical breeze and the sounds of the ocean lull you to sleep on our super comfy gel foam bed. Prepare meals in our kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances, and enjoy watching sunsets while dining on the lanai. If you are looking for somewhere that you will want to return to year after year, this is it.
NOTE: This part of the island is a mixture of socio-economic backgrounds. We have multimillion dollar homes mixed with lower income housing and unfortunately, some homeless camps. There are camps on the west side because of the great weather, but there are homeless all over the island, especially in the big city. The average price of a home is well over a million dollars here. That prices a lot of people out of paradise. We are a gated and secure building. Most people leave their lanai doors open 24/7 to let the breeze come in and to hear the sights and sounds of the ocean. Just as an FYI, we live in the area, and we have never had an incident related to the homeless, except maybe someone holding a sign looking for a meal or a couple of dollars.

Awesome 270 degree view of the ocean and surrounding area from our unit. Very secure with multiple security measures needed to access the penthouse suite. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Our stay was truly lovely, and the property, view and location were really perfect. I only wish we had stayed longer. We will certainly be back for another relaxing vacation.

The overall experience was 2nd to none. There were no hidden fees or parking fees you hear about on other parts of the island. We were on the highest floor at the end of the building. It gave penthouse vibes with a wrap around porch (lanai) that had sweeping views of Papaoneone Beach and the small hike next to the property. Sea turtles EVERY morning were out in the bay. Plenty of provided beach gear, coffee stuff and cooking necessities made us feel like we were visiting our rich auntie not a VRBO! The mattress was perfect! Memory foam topper and great pillows. Plenty of space for your clothes if you want to hang them up or put them in the dresser. Mountain Magic Shave Ice had THE BEST shave ice I ate all week! 80 Percent What You Eat had great Açaí Bowl selection and killer avocado toast. Brazilian Brothas food truck had so much great food too. ALL within a 5 minute drive from the room. Sweeping views, great ac, thoughtfully laid out, we did not want to leave! Mahalo to our host for great communication and follow up.

Beautiful condo right on the sand. Incredibly private and secure. Host very responsive and building staff are helpful. Area is just as host describes: range of multi-million beachfront homes to homeless encampments, especially near the Marina to the south. We kept our business mostly local to Wainae and Makaha and had no problems, and encountered only friendly business owners and fellow patrons. Plan ahead for visiting other areas of the island—Farrington Hwy is only route. Would definitely stay again.

Nicely renovated condo on the top floor (corner unit) of the Hawaiian Princess Resort. The building is on a beautiful beach on the west side of Kauai. There is security around the parking lot and inside the building. Close proximity to many beaches on the west side.

The condo is great. The beach is great. The water is for confident swimmers. I would spend hours on the lanai each morning. There are unhoused people you can see in the park next door. We're considering going back next year!

Communication with the host prior to arrival was excellent. The condo was very cute and comfortable. The view was outstanding! Best view in Oahu was spot-on! The beach was incredible-soft sand and clean. We enjoyed walking and relaxing on the beach. People were friendly. It is more of a quiet and remote area, just as advertised. Some homeless in the area but they were not bothersome at all. The pool was clean. The condo,beach, views, atmosphere were exactly what we needed for a relaxing vacation!

A beautifully appointed condo. The view and the beach was spectacular. The only drawback is the distance from most activities.

We had an incredible time during our stay here for Christmas season and our 10 Year Anniversary. There is no better place as beautiful as this location to experience sunrises, sunsets and star light skies. Turtle and Whale watching from your perch on the lanai as well. The Condo was had everything you could need to sit back and relax and enjoy the Aloha Spirit! New Year’s Eve fireworks display was an extra bonus for us as well.

It truly is the best view on the island. Well equipped and beautifully designed private oasis. We would definitely return again to this special gem.

We absolutely LOVED this condo! Having stayed at dozens of condos in Hawaii and elsewhere we can say this is our favorite, hands down. The views cannot be beat, I continue to dream of waking up to these views. We saw multiple sea turtles from the balcony daily. Snorkeling right in front is good on clear days, I even saw an octopus! The owner Kathy is super nice & helpful and responds to every message quickly. She is easy to talk to like an old friend. The condo looks even better in person than in the pictures and it is WELL equipped with everything you need. Best equipped we ever had! The sofa hed is new and nice. The bed in the bedroom was SO COMFORTABLE I slept so good every night! If we were returning to Oahu, we would definitely stay here again!! Thank you Kathy!

We had a great weeklong stay in this unit. The views are amazing, and the lanai is large and comfortable. We saw sea turtles and dolphins from the lanai.
The grounds are beautiful, and very well kept. We enjoyed time at the pool, which was very clean and spacious.
The unit itself was very nice - the furniture was very comfortable, and so was the king size bed. It's also very nicely decorated.
The owners were great - very attentive and helpful, and quick to resolve a minor issue.
Our favorite restaurant was the 604 Beach House - great view on the water, and good food. Watch for the seals!
The people that we encountered in the shops and restaurants were very friendly and helpful.
We would definitely stay here again on our next visit to Oahu!

The best view/lanai I've ever had in HI. The private beach was amazing and the host was incredible. The facility is very secure with easy access to staff for any questions we had. Would definitely stay here again!

Everything was just as pictured (If not better). We found everyone to be friendly from the people who worked at the condo to the people at the fast food places and grocery stores. Hopefully we will get the chance to come back!
