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!

We had an amazing stay in this condo during our stay in Oahu.The view is amazing, and the beach as well to swim. We even saw huge turtles during our snorkling. Condo was clean, well equipped and the cooler was a nice plus, along with the beach chairs and umbrella.If you want to be away from busy Waikiki you should consider this place. We really loved it!Only downside, and there is not much the owner can do about it is the traffic going towards Honolulu...But beside that if you want a laidback place this condo is 100% amazing!I will miss takong my coffee on the lanai with the view and the sounds of the waves!Mahalo!

We were very impressed with this property and highly recommend a stay. The property owners were very responsive and went above and beyond to answer our questions regarding the area. The ocean views and sunsets are spectacular and the water is so clear! We saw everything you possibly can... whales, dolphins, sea turtles, and even a rainbow on a sunny day. The condo was also stocked with almost anything you can think of, which made us feel like we were part of the family just there for a visit. The details of this property are truthful and they are wonderful hosts, so please check it out. You won't be disappointed!

Nice flat. We’ve stayed at several properties at Hawaiian Princess and this was the best. Would definitely try to stay again. Clean open layout. Well equipped kitchen. All good. Plus lots of whales and turtles. We like this part of Oahu. It’s not for everyone but if you are looking for a great stay in this area, this is a great option.

The host was welcoming and so helpful, especially giving tips of good places to visit. The condo was clean and we had beautiful views of the ocean. The sunset views were amazing! The condo was only minutes away from a military base where we got surfing lessons. This was a highlight for us. It was also so handy having a washing machine and dryer in the apartment. The condo was well equipped with kitchen supplies and beach supplies. We loved it. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your beautiful condo!

The only sad part was leaving. They have anything and everything you need for your stay. The beach area was amazing with phenomenal sunsets. We saw Sea Turtles every morning from the lanai. Very communicative throughout the whole process. We came to Hawaii for my 50th Birthday, they were even nice enough to leave me a birthday card. We would defintely stay here again for sure!
Beautiful sunset, cell phone picture no filters.

We loved our stay at this condo on the beach and didn't want to leave! I booked a last-minute trip to Oahu over the holidays with my daughters and had not heard of Makaha. What a lovely surprise to be overlooking this beautiful, not crowded beach. The condo itself was updated on the inside in the kitchen and bathroom, with modern appliances. The showstopper was the Lanai with bench seat overlooking the beach. The host was gracious in extending our stay by one day when our 2nd reservation at a different location was canceled on us. We enjoyed playing in the waves just below the condo (right amount of excitement, without feeling dangerous) and exploring this part of the island, especially hiking Ka'ena Point Trail (further up West shore). If you want to get away from the crowds in Waikiki and the man-made lagoons of Ko Olina, I highly recommend this location and this condo.

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.
