About this property

16P - Permitted penthouse end unit at the Hawaiian Princess - best view on Oahu

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.

Great penthouse condo on the beach

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.

Incredible way to spend the holidays

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.

What a view!

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.

Property was a gated condo. Security onsite 24/7. FOB required to access elevator. Code required to access steel security door for our unit. We felt very comfortable leaving the doors open while we slept to enjoy the waves and breeze. Unit was clean and everything worked as expected. Kathy provided in depth instructions to find unit, access keys and nearby stores and points of interest. Beach was clean and hardly anyone there. Warm water, turtles and seals. View was incredible.

Nice condo, unbeatable views, quiet beach, great value

Million dollar 270 degree views and sunsets from this corner condo on 16th floor. Condo has new paint, brand new appliances and new kitchen utensils. Smart TVs and internet options are exceptional. The building was mostly unoccupied and almost always quiet. The beach was not busy. The surf is fun and small children would need to be supervised. The community is 'authentic' Hawaiian- not touristy- and without mainland box stores (30-60 min away depending on time of day: Rush hour traffic can be considerable). Top notch communication with host and housekeeper - 5 stars

superb!

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!

Truly amazing view from exceptionally comfy condo

I've stayed at a number of beachfront vacation homes in recent years, but this one was by far the most comfortably furnished, tastefully decorated and well equipped. This was in addition to one of the best balcony views in all of Hawaii. The owner was kind with excellent communication and we'd definitely book this condo again for any future stays on O'ahu. It's positioned on a beautiful mostly private, quiet beach that had no shortage of sea turtle sightings and was only an hour drive away from some of the tourist attractions on the other sides of the island like the North Shore or Waikiki. The pool was clean and the other guests we met were very friendly. The only drawback for some might be the homeless population setting up camp in the surrounding town, but the condo is in a secure gated community with security onsite, so we felt very safe during our stay. We loved the private entry to this condo with its own security gate on the top floor, too.

Amazing! You won’t believe your eyes!

Any reviews about this condo having the best views in Oahu are correct! What you don’t hear as much about is that the Mountain View on the front side of the condo which you see while you walk down the breeze way to your room is equally amazing as the lanai beach view! Yes, there are the homeless. Visible, but don’t seem to cause issues for anyone. And it is not local to this area. We even saw them in Waikiki parks. The host, Kathleen, is friendly and responsive. We hope to return one day. Hawaii and the Hawaiian Princess is by far our favorite vacation spot thus far!

Anniversary Hawaii

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.

Paradise!

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!

Beautiful unit with amazing views!

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!
