Property Description
Aloha! If you're looking for an authentic Hawaiian experience, stunning beaches, local eateries, and a peaceful atmosphere far from the Waikiki hustle and bustle, you've found it!
This one-bedroom, one-bath condo at Hawaiian Princess in Makaha, on Oahu’s beautiful Leeward Coast, offers breathtaking views of the beach, ocean, and sunsets right from your lanai.
The condo includes free parking, free Wi-Fi, and access to the building’s amenities, including a pool, hot tub, tennis, pickleball, BBQ, and ping pong table. Inside, you'll find a queen bed in the bedroom and a queen sofa bed in the living room. The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need, including a dishwasher, fridge, microwave, toaster, coffeemaker, air fryer, Instant Pot, blender, and more. We also provide linens, beach towels, chairs, mats, boogie boards, snorkeling gear, a beach umbrella, a cooler, and even binoculars for whale watching in season. The condo also has two TVs, ceiling fans, stand fans, and a washer/dryer for your convenience.
The building has a roof-mounted, water-cooled central Air Conditioning system. Please note, however, that it does not function like mainland AC systems and will not make the condo super cold. Most guests find the condo very comfortable with open windows, natural cross-ventilation, trade winds, ceiling fans, and stand fans, which keep the space fresh with tropical breezes. If you prefer super cool indoor temperatures, this may not be the condo for you.
The Princess Building is a smoke-free, pet-free property, and we have an on-duty security guard 24/7 for peace of mind.
Note that Waikiki and Honolulu are about an hour’s drive away and you may see homeless camps along the route. However, the Hawaiian Princess is a secure, gated building, and we encourage you to read reviews from others to make your own decision about staying on this side of the island.
For local dining, be sure to try Beachhouse 604, a guest favorite with oceanfront seating, and Spicy House in Maili, known for its excellent Thai food. Fine dining is just a short drive away in Ko'Olina and at Disney’s Aulani Resort. You’ll also find shopping and a water park in nearby Kapolei. Surf enthusiasts will love Makaha Surfing Beach, home to international competitions, just down the coast.
This is the ideal destination for those seeking a relaxing, laid-back vacation in a stunning setting, with the opportunity to witness marine life in its natural habitat, including turtles, dolphins, and whales (in season), while creating beautiful memories along the way!
Mahalo and we look forward to host you!

Got to see humpback whales and some shark fins from the balcony. The beach and pool were perfect, everything was perfect. Hidden gem!

The lanai gives a 180 view of your semi private beach. We saw turtles daily as well as whales . Room was well stocked.

Great place with everything as described in the listing plus lots of extra little bonuses. Faces a lovely soft sand beach that was never crowded. Building is older but in good shape. Seems to have a mix of permanent residents and short term rentals with everyone very friendly. Can walk to longs (drug store) and magic mountain shave ice although not a beautiful walk. Tamura supermarket maybe a 10 minute drive has reasonable selection although not the fanciestEverything in the apartment is in great condition. Good sized table and 4 chairs on the lanai so we ate every meal out there. Plenty of high quality beach towels, regular towels. 3 quality beach chairs and a beach umbrella plus lots of kids beach stuff under the bench on the lanai. Small cooler as well. Kitchen far better equipped than average rental with plenty of tableware, cooking supplies, even storage containers.Great communication with Sweti

We arrived at the unit and check in was easy and stress free. Both of us were blown away with how clean, modern and fully stocked space was. We had a comfortable and enjoyable week there. We really enjoyed going down to the beach at sunset and visiting with the other residents at the BBQ. The hosts thought of providing everything we might need including beach chairs, umbrella, snorkel gear, big ice chest, kids sand toys (if needed) and the kitchen had absolutely everything needed to cook, incl air fryer and Instant Pot!We saw many whales out on the horizon with the provided good quality binoculars.We will definetly be back again.

The place was clean and modern. It has everything you needed . Check in was easy, beautiful view from the balcony. I was disappointed that the bed room was in the back not by the balcony but it was not the problem because we can still hearing the waves all night long. The only down sides for us was it was very far from all vegan restaurants For my husband and the neighborhood before the condo was a lot of homeless. But don’t worry the beach by the condo was kind of private. So there is no homeless all over the beach like the other beaches .the beach is very beautiful and not very much people on the beach . We hanged out by the beach and felt like we got the whole beach to ourselves but the the waves is very strong if you are not a good swimmer like me , don’t try to be in the water . I saw some people tried to go in the water and they got swept under the waves several times. Overall the condo itself was fantastic and the view from the balcony was hard to beat .

We stayed 3 nights prior to our cruise leaving from Honolulu. Very pleased with the amenities and condo was comfortable and clean. Would stay again. Location was away from the traffic and crowds, which is what we wanted.

The apartment was exactly like the listing images, clean and had absolutely everything we needed throughout our trip to feel at home. Beautiful views from the lanai and a nice beach right outside the property that was never busy compared to other beaches. For even more scenic beaches Makua Beach 5 minutes away is spectacular. I will say that if you’re looking to explore the entire island throughout your trip this location is a bit far away from the rest of the island destinations (1-1.5hrs from the eastern coast), and there were not many sit down restaurants available nearby. However, if looking for a relaxing beach vacation with a few trips to other areas mixed in, it is the perfect location not being too busy. The full sized kitchen was also perfect for cooking your own meals, which also works out with Hawaii’s high prices. Overall I would definitely recommend this condo with the previously mentioned caveat in mind.

Nice building, older but well kept. Great beach with nice beach equipment available in the unit. Unit was as described. Area is a bit out of the way and neighborhood is a bit run down but on site security and fencing made us feel safe Great option for those who would like to get away from big crowds and enjoy beach with less people around.

This place was off the normal area we had been used to. No big waikiki crowds or beachs with no room to move. This place offered the good sized condo with an amazing view along with supplies for your every need at a fair price. My familly and I enjoyed what this stay had to offer.
