FREE PARKING & HI-SPEED WIFI! NO RESORT FEES!
BEACHFRONT! AWESOME! 180º UNOBSTRUCTED OCEAN & SUNSET VIEWS! LIGHT, BRIGHT, AIRY, AND SUPER CLEAN CONDO THAT SLEEPS 4! POOL, HOT TUB, TENNIS, PICKLE BALL, PING PONG—2 OUTSIDE SHOWERS & BBQ AREA!
**PLEASE NOTE: The Princess AC is a water-cooled, roof-mounted central system, BUT it is NOT like the Mainland AC you may be accustomed to, meaning it will NEVER get really cold--simply not that kind of design. The great majority of folks are very comfortable when everything is left open letting our "usual" wonderful trade winds, great cross ventilation, ceiling fans, and stand fans keep the condo fresh with tropical breezes! PLEASE NOTE: If you really like super cool inside temperatures, this is NOT the condo for you. Please let us know you are OK with AC status when you book this condo.
We have another condo in the same BEACHFRONT
building that is available to rent for 30 days or longer.
It is offered at a DEEPLY discounted monthly rate, and might be ideal if you’d like to enjoy a longer stay!
When we say BEACHFRONT, we mean absolute beachfront! The PRINCESS BUILDING sits smack dab on the beach in the photo! It's the most beautiful beach on Oahu.
A secured 16-story building (2 elevators) with pool, hot tub, tennis/pickle ball, outside BBQ area, Rec Room with ping pong table. This condo is on a high floor (not recommended for very young children) with absolutely stunning beach, ocean, and sunset views.
This is a one-bedroom/one-bath (shower stall/no tub) condo. It has a lovely lanai with unparalleled 180º ocean/sunset view. Lanai has sunshade.
Cal King bedroom and queen-size sleep sofa in living room. Fully furnished full-size kitchen with full-size appliances (fridge has icemaker) and all the necessities. We supply all dishes, pots 'n pans, silverware, toaster, regular drip coffeemaker (we furnish filters), microwave, and a blender for making those onolicious Hawaiian fruit smoothies. We also have a dishwasher, 2 TVs, ceiling fans, stand fans, washer/dryer, iron/board, all linens (including beach towels), hair dryer, beach chairs, mats, boogie boards, snorkeling equipment, beach umbrella, and cooler. The spices in the condo vary—some guests buy new and leave-so we never know exactly what is there—best to check first and then buy accordingly. There is a desk & chair. We even provide binoculars for in-condo use--watch right from your lanai as the whales (in season), dolphins, and giant sea turtles put on a show! Sometimes our beloved monk seals will come up on our beach to rest. Please look and appreciate but stay a courteous distance back.
THE PRINCESS IS A SMOKE-FREE COMPLEX! Smoking is NOT ALLOWED in the units, on the lanais, in/at the corridors, elevators, pool, rec room, BBQ area, or in the lobby! THERE IS A STIFF FINE FROM BUILDING MANAGER FOR VIOLATION. Smoking is permitted ONLY in designated smoking area that has an umbrella table and chairs located well away from the building.
NO ANIMALS OF ANY KIND ALLOWED!
Out of respect for our neighbors, some of whom are full-time residents who treasure their peace and quiet, and others are vacationers who want a quiet period of relaxation, we allow no visitors. Only the registered guests may occupy condo.
We require a Rental Agreement with a simple, short basic information form that needs to be filled out, signed, and returned to us before Arrival Info is e-mailed to you. This document will be e-mailed to you immediately after confirmation.
Makaha is on the NON-TOURISTY side of Oahu--very much "OLD" Hawaii--nothing new or fancy here! Our location is out on the beautiful Leeward Coast with its incredible beaches. This is NOT a touristy location, and it is about a 45-minute to an hour's drive, depending entirely on traffic, to Waikiki & Honolulu.
ALL MAJOR ATTRACTIONS ARE A LONG DRIVE FROM CONDOS.
ALL HAWAII BEACHES ARE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC; however, since there is not much public parking in the area, our beach is generally not crowded. The Princess has NO control over who uses this beach. There are homeless camps along the coast island wide, but not on our beach.
Makaha has lots of fast food and ethnic restaurants (be sure to try BEACHHOUSE 604, a guest favorite where you can eat outside by the ocean--watch for the dolphins). Spicy House in Maili has wonderful Thai food, and it is not too far from condo.
There is fine dining only 20 minutes away at Ko'Olina and Au'Lani Disney Hotel. Kapolei is about 20-25 minutes away, and has MANY great restaurants and really nice shopping. There is a water park in Kapolei. All drive times are subject to time of day and traffic of course.
World-famous Makaha Surfing Beach (home to international surfing competition) is just a very short hop down the coast from the condo.
Beautiful scenery down the coast from the Princess to Kaena Point—road ends there—no passage around that end of our island.

The view from the lani and the gorgeous beach below gets 10/10. We appreciated the roll down sunshade in the afternoons. Star gazing was magnificent! We loved the beach access, saltwater pool and hot tub and the friendliness of the staff at the condo.
The unit itself is in desperate need of updating. Every one of the appointments are dated, cheap and in need of replacement. This includes all kitchenware and linens. Although linens are provided, towels are thin, have holes and the bedding is polyester which sleeps very hot. The unit needs a good deep cleaning at the very least.
People renting here should be well informed that the bedroom side of the condo faces a very busy road with many emergency vehicles and motorbikes going up and down at all hours. Additionally there is a tenement just between the rental and road with dogs that bark incessantly and a crowing rooster. It is not quiet!

Wonderful condo right on the beach. Could not get enough of the incredible view! Beautiful sunsets, several great restaurants/takeout nearby. Woke up to the sound of the ocean each morning and saw sea turtles swimming from our balcony on the 13th floor. Property is gated and safe. We had a wonderful 3 night stay!

The condo was cozy and clean. Amazing view from the balcony. The small beach was very quiet and clear blue water to swim in. Pat was a very attentive host and checked in on me. The check in process is easy and I would recommend staying on this wonderfully quiet west coast of the Island! Mahalo

The condo and the view from the 13th floor was perfect! Beautiful beach right in front of the condo which was easy to access and never crowded. Enjoyed breakfast while watching turtles in the water every morning from the lanai! Condo is located away from the hustle and bustle which is exactly what we were looking for...you'll need to rent a car if you want to venture to the North Shore and Waikiki but it is worth it to stay in a more relaxed and less crowded part of the island.

After a cramped night in busy Waikiki , my teen boys and I loved the privacy, incredible views and relaxed pace the Hawaiian Princess. The building isn’t newer but well maintained, and we were provided everything we needed for the week. Use of binoculars allowed us to see whales breaching, plus we saw sea turtles and a monk seal right from our room! My sons loved being able to sleep on the lanai and go to sleep to the sound of the waves. Great hosts! Would definitely recommend if you prefer a choose your own adventure over a tour group type of holiday.

I returned to the islands for a family reunion and for the scattering of a loved one ashes in Haleiva. I was looking for a place on the West Side by the ocean to heal and reflect (to me, the West Side is Hawaii, not Waikiki and all of the tourist traps.) This condo did not disappoint. Communication with the Maxwell's was great and they were accomodating. Security was friendly and helpful. The unit was clean and exactly as described in the listing. There was a cooling tower down in the building but it didn't matter. Who needs a/c when you have those amazing trade winds? Open the doors to the lanai and the vent window on the front door and you have an amazing breeze, just like being out in the ocean. I slept on both beds, the King size in the bedroom and the queen size pullout and both were extremely comfortable. The pullout couch has a mattress topper and is not your typical sofa bed. I've never slept in a pullout as comfortable. I actually slept out on the sofa bed most nights with the lanai doors open so I could listen to the surf. The sound if the waves hitting the shore and the tide coming in is the most theraputic thing in the world. There were two honu that frequented the reef daily and you could see them swimming in the crystal clear waters from the lanai. The open view of the ocean without all of the buildings and noise of the tourist traps is absolutely amazing. I definitely plan on staying here on my next visit back.

Don and Pat are wonderful! We just want to thank you for opening your beautiful condo as an VRBO. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there last week. The breeze, beach front view, comfortable bed, washer/dryer, ice machine, hangars, cleanliness, quiet neighbors (baring the roosters!) 😂 made for the perfect stay. We enjoyed snorkeling in the mornings and walking on the beach in the evenings.
Thank you, so much!
Blessings,
Robert, Donna and Thomas from Texas.

The condo was so nice! Perfect for a couple. Clean, comfortable, attractive, with all the amenities. We loved the location away from the tourist areas, and the view from the lanai was amazing! The only thing that bothered us was that after paying a not insignificant cleaning fee they want you to empty the trash cans and wash AND fold the towels and sheets. It’s a small space - the cleaning fee should more than cover a top to bottom cleaning and sanitizing, including washing the linens.

We could not have asked for a better stay! This condo gets you out of the busy Honolulu/Waikiki areas while still being reasonable driving distance to local restaurants and attractions. The views from the condo are outstanding and the beach is pristine with perfect views any way you look! Quality beach chairs, boogie boards and snorkeling equipment provided were great for fun days at the beach! Condo was clean and felt very safe/secure. Great communication from owners! Would definitely stay again!!

We enjoyed outstanding views from our lanai everyday. From early morning moon
reflections across the ocean to evening sunsets, we were thrilled to sit and soak it all in! We also saw whales, sea turtles, and a shark! We chose this condo for the potential views and we definitely were not disappointed.
The condo provided everything we needed and more. It was clean. The owners were very helpful and friendly. We felt as though we had our own little paradise!
I was a little shocked at the number of people that reside on the nearby beaches in their make-shift dwellings.
All in all, we absolutely loved our stay!
