About this property

Permitted Hawaiian Princess condo on beach with sea turtles and amazing sunsets


This mid-floor beachfront condo at the Hawaiian Princess comes complete with a spectacular sunset ocean view from the lanai. The condo has been remodeled with the best of everything. Amenities include a deluxe fully equipped kitchen with top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances including a convection oven, cherry wood cabinets, granite countertops and a stainless steel apron sink. The bathroom has a cherrywood vanity complimented with a vessel sink. It also features a walk-in shower accented in blue pearl granite, travertine rope and a shower panel complete with horizontal body jets. The bedroom features a deluxe hand carved, palm tree themed furniture with a king-size bed with Hawaiian Quilt and shams, and a three inch memory foam topper. The living room has been decorated in tropical colors and rattans that match the cherrywood in the kitchen. It has an elegant and comfortable queen-size sofa sleeper to sleep by night, and by day - relax and enjoy listening to the waves or watching your favorite sporting event. The unit also has 2 large flatscreen TV’s, air conditioning, new large capacity front-loading HE5 washer and dryer, beach equipment and everything else that you need for your stay in paradise including free WIFI. There is also a pool, hot tub, game room, BBQ area and secure, gated and free parking. Best of all, it is directly on one of the best beaches on the island. Also, this is the sunny, leeward side of the island where the weather is almost always perfect.

In the back yard:
- beautiful, huge, uncrowded beach
- swimming with dolphins and turtles,
- snorkeling, body boarding,
- surfing
- paddle boarding
- kayaking
- hike up Lahilahi

Short drive:
- waterfalls

- sea caves
- tide pools
- bicycling
- golfing
- World-famous Makaha surfing beach
- horseback riding at Makaha Valley Stables
- deep-sea fishing
- dolphin watching tours
- grocery stores
- many beaches and hikes

Medium drive:
- tons of great restaurants in Kapolei
- three big movie theaters in Kapolei
- many beaches and hikes
- Waikiki
- airport

Longer drive:
- North Shore
- many beaches and hikes

A LOT of our business is from repeat guests, so we are doing things right! We have several VRBO listings, so feel free to inquire about other condos.

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. That being said, you are much more likely to be a victim of a crime in Waikiki or at a tourist destination than you would be at the Hawaiian Princess. 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.

Graduation Celebration Trip

My husband, daughter, and granddaughter planned this trip for our granddaughters graduation trip. The property is located away from the busy tourist area and a very quiet beach, very nice beach also a pool, it was perfect for us! The owner communicates quickly when contacted. Bonus: Regular turtle sightings and occasional sealsI would like to suggest better pest control, also more plastic drink cups instead of glass.

The beach was clean and not very crowded and the view was spectacular. We saw whales everyday. While there are a few homeless tents in the trees near the condo beach, it did not interfere with our enjoyment. This is the arid side of the island, but the area north at the state park is beautiful. The hike to the wildlife sanctuary (3 miles each way) was the best of our trip. Saw a monk seal on the beach by us---only 1200 in the world and at least 50 nesting albatross. The condo was clean and had everything we needed including beach chairs.

Great condo! Amazing sunset view!

My husband and I had an incredible time visiting Hawaii to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary. We enjoyed staying at this condo. Everything was as described, although the pictures don’t do the lanai view justice. The owner was easy to communicate with and responsive. We would certainly recommend booking this condo!!

Great view!

Our rental was perfect. Great view! Great swimming in the ocean right out the door and the pool! Not crowded! And super interesting to shop in a real ‘local’ grocery store with the locals! They had everything we needed to cook our meals. We mainly chose this unit because of the location (9thfloor) and the access to the ocean. It did not disappoint.

2nd Time at Kathy's Condo

Can't say enough about the fabulous time we spent. The apartment was clean and nicely furnished. Unbelievable view from the balcony. Feel peacefully asleep every night to the sound of ocean waves. The resort was secluded and the beach almost private. The apartment came with beach items to allow a comfortable day in the sun. Kathy is awesome. So easy to work with and quick to respond. Can't wait to book trip 3.

Lovely condo!

My best friend and I were celebrating a big birthday, and took a girl’s trip. I had never been to Oahu before. The condo is absolutely beautifully decorated, and extremely comfortable inside. The views of the sunset are magical... we were fortunate to also have a full moon so all views from the Lanai were gorgeous. The sand on the beach is wonderful, and couldn’t be easier to get to! My only caution is that this is not a swimming/snorkeling beach, as the surf is very, very strong. I recommend this property highly!

Beautiful Quiet Beach

We rented this condo for my son and his new wife for their honeymoon as a gift. They loved it! The beach, the view, the condo. All of it. They had a fantastic honeymoon. They surged, snorkeled and were able to easily get around to different places for shopping and restaurants. There are some reviews that mention homelessness and safety issues once it gets dark but they never felt uncomfortable personally. Would definitely recommend especially if you’re not one for the big city and want less crowds.

Awesome place, just be aware of the area

This place is beautiful! Very well appointed with paper products, ziplock bags, detergents - more than I expected. The sunsets are incredible and the beach was never crowded, usually only a few people on it and everyone was friendly. We saw at least one turtle every day! The bed is very comfortable and the kitchen was great for eating in and saving a little cash. Do be aware, however, that Hawaii is struggling with homelessness and as of this writing most of them were on the west side. We were very caught off guard by this and almost turned around before ever reaching the Hawaiian Princess. At night you will see prostitution and drug deals as you drive down the main road. Once in the condo, we felt safe and secure. And as we talked with locals, we learned they are good kind people who are frustrated with the situation and what it is doing to their home. I would definitely stay here again, but I wish I had been given some forewarning so we would not have been so surprised. Hopefully this helps you. It is a beautiful place and the locals need your support.

Blessed

First, I would not hesitate to stay here again and will be recommending this condo wholeheartedly to all of my family, neighbors and friends. Other than a beautiful beach with a spectacular view from the Lanai, complete with a gorgeous sunset every night, Kathy is the biggest reason to stay at this immaculate Hawaiian Princess condo in Makaha. From the start, Kathy has been the kindest, most accommodating host I have ever met. She is so patient and bent over backwards to make sure our vacation was wonderful, even dropping off a new toaster on the day I told her the old one was acting up. The management itself at the Hawaiin Princess is also extremely helpful and do a great job of maintaining the building. We felt safe here and truly appreciate the hard work they put into making it a nice and clean place m And the guests were all very nice and respectful. The only noise we heard all week were the waves. Condo 903 is upgraded with central air and tastefully decorated with all the amenities, including a washer and dryer. It was super clean. You have a view of the ocean and mountains from the balcony, stepping out of the front door and while waiting for the elevator. It's truly a 360 view of paradise. The location is perfect to go anywhere on the island, and we drove everywhere. Waianae and Makaha are a local area with real affordable food and local Hawaiians. Everyone made us feel welcome. Mahalo Kathy for a wonderful day. I am so sad to leave but I pray the Lord Jesus will bring us back as I consider you a friend and this place my second home. Until we meet again Kathy: Numbers 6:24-26 New King James Version 24 “The Lord bless you and keep you; 25 The Lord make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you; 26 The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace.” ’ Romans 6:23 English Standard Version 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Awesome trip

Spent only a few nights here but it was fantastic. Probably the most ready to stay VRBO I've been to. The location is away from the more touristy parts of Hawaii and that was perfect for us. The beach at the property was beautiful and secluded. The unit has an amazing view for sunsets. The kitchen had everything we need so it really felt like a comfy place to have a dinner in. Overall awesome place and would highly recommend if you're looking for a spot away from the busy tourist heavy areas.
