Vacation In Paradise At Makaha Area in a Legal NUC

Come to Paradise on Earth at the Hawaiian Princess located in the dry, sunny Makaha Area in West Oahu. The condo is on a secluded 1/3 mile pristine white sand beach overlooking the gorgeous Turtle Cove. Celebrate a special occasion, romantic getaway or just come to relax and dine on your own private Lanai and enjoy the relaxing ocean breeze with the spectacular 180 degree view of the Ocean and Sunset.

The Hawaiian Princess is located 45 minutes from the Honolulu International Airport and an hour from the frenzy and crowds in Honolulu and Waikiki. It is only a 20 minute drive to the City of Kapolei with many stores such as Costco, Kmart, Target, Wal-Mart, Ross, Safeway, Outback, Chili's, Starbucks, 16 Theatre Cinemas and the famous Paradise Cove Luau. The City of Waianae is minutes from your condo and offers 3 grocery stores, Long Drugs, many fast food and dining options. You can still enjoy the hustle and bustle of tourist activities with the additional benefit of a totally relaxing beachfront living atmosphere.

Come, swim, and play in the warm aqua blue waters of the Pacific Ocean, or sunbathe on the uncrowded, unspoiled beach. You can snorkel, boogie board, paddle board, fish, or just relax with a 'cold one' while you watch Sea Turtles, Spinner Dolphins and Humpback Whales (in-season), or people having fun in the waves from the beach or your lanai. Two of the best island 18 hole golf courses are minutes away at the Ko olina Resort and the Makaha Valley resort. The world famous Makaha surfing beach is less than a mile away and home to several International Surfing Competitions in the winter months. The Waianae harbor is about 5 minutes away and offers deep sea fishing excursions and swimming with the dolphins.

Turtles and Ocean views

This was our second time staying at this rental over Christmas. We enjoy staying on this dryer side of the island and the reasonable price for the ocean views and being on the beach.

Holiday Get Away

We all really enjoyed our stay at the condo. Nice accommodation's, only reason I gave it four star's was the futon. Listing states 2 futon's, one is just the pad from a futon, the full futon felt like sleeping on springs. A mattress cover would really help improve this.

Amazing Getaway from Waikiki

Beautiful place on an amazing and very secluded beach! From the balcony we could see turtles each morning. Snorkeling is great and this rental has lots of beach/snorkel equipment available. Security here was present and professional. Had a great time here and look to book it again in the near future!

Perfect little home away from home

Away from the hustle and bustle, maddening crowds of Waikiki/Honolulu yet an easy drive to all of the attractions Oahu has to offer. Time spent on the lanai overlooking the ocean and listening to the crashing waves is soul soothing to say the least. The secluded beach-uncrowded. This little unit is cozy, well equipped and feels like home from the moment you step into it. Thank you Mary for ensuring our stay was comfortable and that everything was in order.

Beautiful Beachfront trip

Highlights of our trip were: 1. Beautiful beach and ocean right at the property 2. The owners were very conscientious in the one bedroom unit was perfect for us. 3. Private, clean, and safe property However, the Waienae towards Makaha West side of Oahu in recent years has turned even more depressing with the homeless encampments and constant sirens. If you’re looking for an affordable Hawaii getaway and don’t worry about that this is perfect. If you are searching for the magical Hawaiian Paradise, then spend more money and go somewhere else.

Everything you could want in a home away from home!

Everything was clean and in good shape, lots of towels and everything you need for your stay provided. We really enjoyed the beach chairs and used them everyday to just sit on the beach. The beach is the best on Oahu in our opinion, never crowded and the surf is never too rough. The town is nice and cozy and has everything we needed with a few minute drive. Would definitely stay here again!

Lovely Stay

We had a great time at this property. For the price it can’t be beat. The view from the lanai is gorgeous and it’s literally right on the beach. We didn’t mind the extra drive when going out and about because we wouldn’t have had these luxuries in Honolulu. Highly recommend!

Beautifully well maintained condo.

Beautiful, clean and well maintained condo. The kitchen had everything we needed and more. The view off the Lanai was outstanding. The only thing not outstanding was the mattress in the bedroom and the couch mattress, other than that our stay was fantastic.

Perfect quiet remote getaway

We had a lovely time overlooking the ocean. The moonrises were beautiful, as were the sunsets. The water was a little rough so we couldn't play in it much, but better swimmers enjoyed it a great deal. This condo was well appointed with all we needed. Mary and Neil were great to work with and very patient with our jet lagged brains. It was so nice to have a quiet retreat to come back to after spending time in Honolulu. Thank you for providing such a lovely place for us to enjoy our vacation.

About the host

Hosted by Mary Christensen

Host profile image
These are the owner's of the unit you will be visiting at the Hawaiian Princess, Neil and Mary Christensen enjoying a meal at Jameson By The Sea in Hale'iwa. The have the best mahimahi with macadamia nuts and mai tai's. We try to include a trip to this restaurant every time we are on Oahu! It's delicious and the view is spectacular!

We have been renting our unit out since 2010, even though we are new to join VRBO.

Why they chose this property

We have been coming to the Hawaiian Princess since 1981 when we purchased 2 weeks of timeshare interest. In 2010, when we were here vacationing, we had the opportunity to actually purchase our own condo unit. We still can't believe our luck and good fortune that enabled us to get our own piece of paradise. We love it here and hope you will enjoy your stay at our unit as much as we do!

What makes this property unique

The Hawaiian Princess is built right off the beach. The beach is pristine, white sand and ocean at Turtle Beach is beautiful, warm, and clear. It is probably one of the best kept secrets on Oahu because our beach is not crowded or spoiled, yet it is probably one of the best on Oahu for fun and enjoyment. This condo is not a hotel but a mix of owner's who live on site, vacation rentals, and timeshares. It is a secure building and has been well maintained. Come and relax and enjoy the beach way of life in luxury!
