About this property

Paradise Found at Hawaiian Princess, Makaha!

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!

Paradise on your own private beach.

Away from all the hustle and bustle and stress of downtown. Still conveniently located to all the major attractions on Oahu. Beautiful sunsets every night on our own beach. The condo is very comfortable and is as appears in the photos. This was a trip for our anniversary and my wife’s birthday. Our host left us separate cards to celebrate each occasion. Very thoughtful.

Private Beach

The condo was very clean and had many amenities. The host was very responsive and accommodating. We enjoyed the quiet location over looking the ocean and the private beach was beautiful. The location was a bit far away from activities and restaurants but if you don't mind being away from it all - this is the place for you! Thank you for all the extras!

our unit was very clean and had a fabulous view of the beach. We have always stayed at resorts when we vacation so this took some getting used to regarding amenities right on the property. We knew that going in so it’s not a complaint. It’s just what it is. The waves can be very scary in front of the building so please pay attention and be safe. We met some very nice people and really enjoyed the restaurant 604 Beach House. I can’t put into words my appreciation for there being a washer and dryer in the unit. It made a world of difference. I would recommend this property to others. It’s got a very laid-back feel to it, which is what we wanted.do not pass up the opportunity early in your stay to go to the historic town at the coast and eat at Jenny‘s shrimp truck. We went a couple of times and rolled our eyes every time we took a bite of the garlic shrimp.

Nice property bad neighborhood

The property was nice enough. The beach was the best part. But the neighborhood wasHorrible. Homeless camps everywhere and homeless people roaming around. It was dirty and uncomfortable. The condoWas on a high floor so the AC was constantly running but it never cooled down even with fans going 24/7. Kind of felt scammed

As others have stated you do see many homeless camps along the way. However we never felt unsafe at the property. They have great controlled access to the gate, the elevator and the beach access. We rarely saw more than a few people at the beach, no crowds, great views! When the sun is setting you do need to close the curtains though because that sun is bright! But we would definitely return.

The host’s communication throughout the entire process was excellent. The home was thoughtfully stocked with everything we could possibly need. The locals were warm, helpful, and made us feel truly welcome. We enjoy staying in areas away from typical tourist spots, though this location was about an hour from many of the places we wanted to explore.

Husband/wife with 5 month old girl. We were blown away the moment we opened the door and saw the view from the balcony! We preferred our stay here to the expensive Ko Olina resort we came from. All the amenities we could need were available. When we return to Oahu, there is no other place we would rather stay

Fantastic Beachfront Condo – Peaceful, Well-Equipped, and Scenic

This place was perfect for our stay! We wanted to spend part of our trip away from Waikiki and the city hustle, in a quieter setting with the beach right at our doorstep—and this condo absolutely delivered.Being on the 12th floor, the unit offered stunning panoramic views, gorgeous sunsets, and a refreshing breeze. The beach just below was ideal for swimming and boogie boarding, and the condo came fully stocked with all the beach essentials—chairs, boogie boards, and even a sunshade.Inside, the condo had everything we could possibly need, making it feel like a home away from home. The complex itself was a bonus, featuring gas grills, a pickleball court, a pool, and a game room—all of which we enjoyed during our stay.As other reviews have noted, there are some homeless individuals in the surrounding area. That said, the property is secure with gated access and on-site security, and we never felt unsafe—even during long runs through the neighborhood.Overall, it was a great place to stay—peaceful, convenient, and very comfortable. We highly recommend it!

Beautiful beach!

The apartment had the best view! We could see sea turtles while eating on the deck. Great beach, snorkeling and breathtaking sunsets. Everything was as advertised. If your vacation plans are hanging by the beach and pool this is the place for you. It is a long drive with a lot of traffic for any sites or excursions. We don’t mind driving so that was not an issue for us. The surrounding neighborhood feels poor with lots of poverty present. However, the resort is gated and we did feel secure.
