About this property

Hawaiian Princess- Away from the crowds on one of the best beaches on the island

30 day minimum rental. We also have condos at the Hawaiian Princess that can be rented for less than 30 days. Please inquire for details.

Absolutely the best kept secret on Oahu, the Hawaiian Princess Resort is only 45 minutes away from the airport, less than an hour from Waikiki, and a world away from the crowds. Located on the sunny leeward coast of the island, this condo is situated on a long white sandy beach. Enjoy a quiet, peaceful morning walk along the shore where you may be the only one on the beach. Watch spectacular sunsets over the ocean as you dine on your private lanai. Fall asleep each night listening to the rhythm of the waves right outside your door.


The ocean in front of the condo has abundant aquatic life. You can swim with the many sea turtles that frequent the area, or spot tropical reef fish and an occasional eel while snorkeling. Watch the dolphins play in the cove. In the winter, observe the whales from your private lanai. Even the endangered Monk seal occasionally pays a visit to the beach. When the surfs up, you can boogie board or even try surfing. All of these activities can be experienced right outside your front door. Resort amenities also include a pool, jacuzzi, picnic area, tennis court, barbeque grill, and a game room. Also, within a very short distance you will find two outstanding golf courses, deep sea fishing, and fine dining.

Our upscale condo has been recently remodeled. with the best of everything. Amenities include a fantastic bedroom with a wall-mounted flat screen TV, engraved banana leaf furniture and a king-size bed with a luxurious memory foam mattress topped with Hawaiian quilt and shams. It also has a spectacular, fully furnished kitchen with cherry wood cabinets including a built-in hutch, an engraved and hammered copper sink, GE Profile appliances, Silestone countertops and a tropical bamboo ceiling. The bathroom has a beautifully tiled, large walk-in shower with the ever popular, rain style showerhead and horizontal body jets. There is also an engraved copper sink and Danze bamboo faucets complimenting the cherry vanity.

The condo has a large capacity washer and dryer and bamboo flooring throughout. The living room has a queen-size sofa sleeper, large screen, smart TV. The sunset-ocean view from the lanai (and living room and kitchen) is nothing short of breathtaking. The condo has been decorated in tropical colors and accented with bamboo wall coverings.

The condo comes equipped with all linens, kitchenware and beach equipment that you will need for your stay in paradise. No expense has been spared to make this condo one-of-a-kind. It is perfect for honeymoons, anniversaries or anyone else who deserves the very best. If you want to pamper yourself and spend some time on the island living as Ali’i (Hawaiian for Royalty) this is it.

Please see our other listings. If this one doesn't work for you, we may have something that does.

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.

Relaxing Getaway

We were impressed with the cleanliness of the condo. The condo was well equipped with everything we needed, all we had to buy was food. The view was fantastic. Not sure what recently renovated meant. It could use some TLC. Never used the A/C just enjoyed the ocean breezes. It did get a bit hotter late in the day as we approached the end of February. The homeless situation was disappointing especially the drive along Farrington Hwy. Fortunately your beach was private so spent all our time there. We didn't visit the any of the beaches close by, too many signs saying high theft area. Overall we had a great experience.

10 great days in paradise

Very appealing, comfortable, well-kept and well-equipped condo in the HP. A great home base for our activities, and a very relaxing place to spend the days we weren't out and about. We've been to the Hawaiin Princess before, know what to expect with the neighborhood, but this unit was significantly more comfortable with its own AC (needed a few times, especially the first couple nights) and cabana decor with a quality sofa - and a lounge chair on the lanai! Whales, turtles, hikes, fresh fish on the grill, and sunrise / sunsets. Even the stormy day was relaxing.

Great trip and family time

This was our first trip to Hawaii and we are glad that we chose the Hawaiian Princess. The condo was very cozy. It was clean, nicely decorated, and had everything we needed to make us feel at home. We loved sitting on the balcony everyday, having our morning coffee, listening to the waves, and watching the sea turtles swimming in the ocean. We even got to see a monk seal resting on the beach one morning :) The beach was absolutely beautiful and not crowded. There were beach chairs and umbrella for us to use which was nice to have. The building itself was quiet, well mantained and secured. The entrance was gated and there is a security guard in the lobby. If staying here keep in mind that you are going to be far away from the touristy attractions and a car is a must. The one negative thing that we should mention is that there are homeless encampments on the beaches surrounding the condo. Although the people living there seem to be minding their own bussiness it was something we wished we did not have to see every time we left the condo.

Almost paradise

Beautiful condo with comfy bed and sweeping ocean views. Nice gated parking and beach access, however, because all beaches are public there were several loud groups day and night right under balcony limiting our ability to enjoy being outside. Drive to/from condo sad with unhoused taking over several beaches and so much traffic weekday mornings and night! Also beach chairs and umbrellas provided were not functioning properly and should be replaced. Photo shows coffee maker but a zkeurig was available.

Beautiful sunset on quiet beach—what else is there to say?

Owner was very quick to respond to questions and we could tell that she took pride in her property and the comfort of the guests. Beach was very clean and quiet—just a handful of other people there. The building/property itself was clean & well-maintained. No issues whatsoever. Yes, there are A LOT of homeless people in the neighborhood surrounding the property but this in no way impacts the experience. If you like a peaceful retreat away from the rest of the tourists and Honolulu traffic—this is perfect. Everything you need is just a quick drive and you can easily get to the other side of the island in less than 1-1.5 hrs depending on traffic. We would absolutely stay here again.

Fantastic Stay

Condo was perfect, lots of towels and dishes, balcony was great for listening and watching the ocean, the beach was beautiful and the water was great for swimming. The only minor issue was the area the condo is located in, never had an specific issue with any homeless, and the parking lot is gated so never felt unsafe or uncomfortable, but the huge number of homeless just outside the gates was interesting to say the least. To go out to dinner was a little bit of a drive (20 min), but the Tamura grocery store had lots of supplies and grab and go food items to get us through our stay. Overall love the vacation and am so glad we chose to stay in this particular unit. Also fantastic communication with the host.

Great Beach Vacation

The condo was clean and well-equipped with a nice washer/dryer, kitchen equipment, beach and pool towels, coolers, boogie boards, and nice furnishings. There is a great view to the beautiful beach from the balcony. The sunsets are spectacular! The bedding was comfortable, but the mattress is soft, if you have any back issues. There are homeless people in the surrounding community, but there is security to get into the condominium with a key fob from both the road and beach, and also to access the elevator. The food choices are somewhat limited, compared to larger areas on Oahu. We thorougly enjoyed our vacation! Thank you!

Makana Getaway - Nice Ocean Front Beach

Nice ocean front high-rise condo on the upper west side of Oahu away from the crowds of Honolulu. Well equipped including beach gear and now one set of snorkel equipment which we left for others. Perfect sunsets. Residents and other vacationers were all friendly. The neighboring area of Waianae has a large homeless population but the property is secure. We really had no complaints and will probably come back at some point in the future. Aloha.

Breathtaking Views

We had a great time. The property was as expected and had the most amazing views! Sitting on the balcony drinking your coffee every morning was wonderful. The sounds of the ocean and AC in the bedroom made for a most restful sleep. The amount of homeless people on the way to the condo was very sad. They never bothered us nor made you feel unsafe. The beach was awesome and barely had anyone on it. The tide can be tricky so we saw lots of unsuspecting people get knocked down by the waves. You must try shave ice at Magic Mountain down the road a short distance from the condo. Delish! Everyone was pretty friendly and we enjoyed visiting the USS Arizona Memorial and the Polynesian Cultural Center. Great anniversary trip for us! Mahalo for allowing us to enjoy your little piece of heaven.

I never wanted to leave!

The Hawaiian Princess may be a bit off the beaten path, but boy was the drive out worth it! Everything from the well outfitted condo to the facilities, pool, hot tub, common areas, grilling area and outdoor rinsing stations were well maintained and welcoming. But the best parts of this location were the VIEW from the balcony and the beach! We sat on the balcony most mornings we were on site, drinking tea and coffee and watching for the sea turtles that swim by regularly. We even got to see a monk seal playfully swim through the bay one day! We made use of the beach umbrella and chairs as well as the boogie boards. Do not let the drive turn you away. Traffic was easy and it was no more than 35-50 minutes to anywhere on the island. Maybe a bit more to the far northeast side. We went everywhere! Make sure you drive all the way up the coast to the state park at the end. Beautiful beach and shore. One last note….we had reserved another site for the second half of our stay on Oahu and when we got there, we were surprised by a kitchen with an open wall, sewage construction out front, and workers wanting to be in the unit while we were staying there! Kathy ended up letting us come back to the Hawaiian Princess and she saved our vacation!!! We will definitely tell all our friends about this rental and will come back to stay again in the future! Thanks Kathy!

Beautiful Condo & Beach

This condo is situated on a quiet beach that offers blue water and turtles that swim past each day. The condo has all the necessities for a comfortable stay, and the bed is heavenly. The condo itself was very clean and modern. The only downfall was the drive to attractions. Traffic also backs up on this side of the island. Despite this, I would stay here again. The other guests and the staff were friendly and offered good suggestions.

Perfect Princess Paradise

This condo was exactly as described and was extremely clean and comfortable. We had everything we needed for our stay (even a few staples in the fridge and cupboard). The beds were extremely comfortable (including the pullout sofa) and we all had great sleep with the sound of the ocean in our ears. The view from the lanai can’t be beat-we watched spectacular sunsets every night!! And the beach was calm enough to swim in every day of our stay (which I know is not always the case here 😉). Kathy was exceptional to deal with; responsive, helpful and extremely accommodating with any request. We can’t wait to return and stay longer! We miss this oasis already.

If you want a quiet getaway with amazing views, this is the place for you! The views from the lanai are breathtaking and you practically get the entire beach to yourself. Watch beautiful sunsets every evening, turtle swimming in the water, and that amazingly blue ocean. Yes, there are homeless people around, but they don’t bother you, so pay no attention to them.

Wonderful Property!

I highly recommend this property! It's exactly as described in the listing with everything you need for a glorious stay on the island. It is a little farther out if you plan to do activities each day, but for us it was perfect because we only had a few items planned. Others have mentioned the neighborhood, but I found nothing out of the ordinary of what you'd find in any big city. During the school year, the main highway gets a bit hectic as there are several schools along it - but nothing that can't be avoided with a little planning. Great place and the owner is one of the best I've ever worked with. She answered every question I had and was always so quick to offer suggestions - couldn't have asked for better. I cannot recommend this condo more when traveling to the island!! It had everything we needed plus absolutely stunning view!
