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!

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.

Spring Break

Another great stay at Hawaiian Princess! This was our first time in this unit, and it was wonderful. The beach chairs, towels, and snorkeling gear were much appreciated. We love this part of the island and will be putting this unit at the top of our list for our next trip to Makaha.

Perfect and comfortable!

My family of 4 stayed for a week while visiting friends who live in Makaha. The condo is a super comfy place to stay. The kitchen had everything we needed and the beach stuff we wanted was all there. The breeze through the unit is great and we were perfectly comfortable all day and night. All of the views are incredible. Makaha is not touristy and the beach right there is quiet. Watch for the waves though, because there is a pretty hard shore break and it'll getcha if you're not prepared. Great to sit and watch for My kids are bigger (9 &13) and we were ok, but for younger kids Pokai bay down the road is probably a better fit, or the pool!Don't miss Aki's beach. The sea turtles come every afternoon to nap on the sand. The hike to Ka'ena at the northern end of the road is pretty, but exposed and hot so go early. There's hawaiian monk seals and albatross at the end. Groceries at Tamura's are expensive. Hit costco, Safeway, walmart or foodland in Kapolei on your way up. Makaha is not a destination for foodies who want to eat out somewhere new everyday. The farmers market in Waianae is great though, for fresh fruits and veggies. Saturday from 9 to 12. I'll mention the houseless people camped around because they're in many of the reviews for the area. The beach is clean and safe, the parking and building is secure, and their presence wasn't an issue at all at the location we stayed. Like anywhere , make sure you're careful with your valubles and don't leave them in

Great place

Great place with everything as described in the listing plus lots of extra little bonuses. Faces a lovely soft sand beach that was never crowded. Building is older but in good shape. Seems to have a mix of permanent residents and short term rentals with everyone very friendly. Can walk to longs (drug store) and magic mountain shave ice although not a beautiful walk. Tamura supermarket maybe a 10 minute drive has reasonable selection although not the fanciestEverything in the apartment is in great condition. Good sized table and 4 chairs on the lanai so we ate every meal out there. Plenty of high quality beach towels, regular towels. 3 quality beach chairs and a beach umbrella plus lots of kids beach stuff under the bench on the lanai. Small cooler as well. Kitchen far better equipped than average rental with plenty of tableware, cooking supplies, even storage containers.Great communication with Sweti

Spectacular ocean front unit with amazing sunsets

We arrived at the unit and check in was easy and stress free. Both of us were blown away with how clean, modern and fully stocked space was. We had a comfortable and enjoyable week there. We really enjoyed going down to the beach at sunset and visiting with the other residents at the BBQ. The hosts thought of providing everything we might need including beach chairs, umbrella, snorkel gear, big ice chest, kids sand toys (if needed) and the kitchen had absolutely everything needed to cook, incl air fryer and Instant Pot!We saw many whales out on the horizon with the provided good quality binoculars.We will definetly be back again.

Beautiful little beach condo.

The place was clean and modern. It has everything you needed . Check in was easy, beautiful view from the balcony. I was disappointed that the bed room was in the back not by the balcony but it was not the problem because we can still hearing the waves all night long. The only down sides for us was it was very far from all vegan restaurants For my husband and the neighborhood before the condo was a lot of homeless. But don’t worry the beach by the condo was kind of private. So there is no homeless all over the beach like the other beaches .the beach is very beautiful and not very much people on the beach . We hanged out by the beach and felt like we got the whole beach to ourselves but the the waves is very strong if you are not a good swimmer like me , don’t try to be in the water . I saw some people tried to go in the water and they got swept under the waves several times. Overall the condo itself was fantastic and the view from the balcony was hard to beat .

Beautiful Getaway

The apartment was exactly like the listing images, clean and had absolutely everything we needed throughout our trip to feel at home. Beautiful views from the lanai and a nice beach right outside the property that was never busy compared to other beaches. For even more scenic beaches Makua Beach 5 minutes away is spectacular. I will say that if you’re looking to explore the entire island throughout your trip this location is a bit far away from the rest of the island destinations (1-1.5hrs from the eastern coast), and there were not many sit down restaurants available nearby. However, if looking for a relaxing beach vacation with a few trips to other areas mixed in, it is the perfect location not being too busy. The full sized kitchen was also perfect for cooking your own meals, which also works out with Hawaii’s high prices. Overall I would definitely recommend this condo with the previously mentioned caveat in mind.

Nice place a bit out of the way

Nice building, older but well kept. Great beach with nice beach equipment available in the unit. Unit was as described. Area is a bit out of the way and neighborhood is a bit run down but on site security and fencing made us feel safe Great option for those who would like to get away from big crowds and enjoy beach with less people around.

This place was off the normal area we had been used to. No big waikiki crowds or beachs with no room to move. This place offered the good sized condo with an amazing view along with supplies for your every need at a fair price. My familly and I enjoyed what this stay had to offer.

Beach at your doorstep

We loved falling asleep to the sound of the ocean and being able to see the sunset every day. We chose to be on the West Side of the island to be away from the hustle and bustle and we are so glad we did. While we did have to be in the car for a bit to get to some attractions, this was a great option for my young family. Condo came well stocked with amenities- more than we were expecting. Beach access was easier than we anticipated too. Also, having the washer and dryer was 100% needed after all the sweating we did hiking and exploring the island. The hosts gave great food, hiking, and shopping advise. Check in and out was super smooth. Would stay again.

Great stay in a beautiful place!

The place was clean and well stocked with everything we could want for trips to the beach and anything else. Renee was easy to reach, plus provided lots of tips on places to visit and shop for amenities. The most amazing was the view from the balcony (we saw turtles!) and the sound of the waves first thing in the morning and last thing at night. Very enjoyable!

Relaxing, private, paradise!

Our stay at Hawaiian Princess was the relaxing, comfortable getaway in paradise we were looking for. The unit overlooks a private beach shared among residents of this and an adjacent building, where waters are calm with fine sand. We saw turtles from our lanai everyday. The unit is well equipped with a washer dryer, Smart TV, really everything we needed. The unit stayed comfortably cool even when it hit low 90’s outside, and the ceiling fan in the bedroom was really nice. Unit was clean and tidy. The photos do not do the view justice: living right next to the beach was truly amazing and we loved sitting outside in the Lanai eating breakfast or with a drink watching the twilight sky. Parking was included and easy. We parked at a spot where we were able to charge our EV at night. We would recommend renting a car since it’ll be a 40+minute drive to get to destinations in Honolulu and North Shore (both of which we went to). Location is closer to Kapolei, an up and coming area where we also went zip lining. There are Longs Drugs nearby, and a nice family run Vietnamese restaurant that we ate at. Tamura’s supermarket is close and convenient as well. Also a few fast food places, and Starbucks. Really appreciate Renee making this place available for our Hawaii getaway. Mahalo!!

Fantastic location

The place was very secure with key entry and a security guard at the front desk. The room was just as described. Beautifully remodeled, clean and it had EVERYTHING you need for a family to stay. The view will take your breath away. The beach was clean and ever crowed. I cant say enough about the beach!!! There were some homeless people way off to the right near the rocky area. We never saw or heard anything from them on the property. I would highly recommend this beach and room!! We didnt have any contact with the owner only because check in/out and our stay was Flawless.
