Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions that are not addressed in this description

The “ Guest Unit” VRBO #507795 was recently upgraded and remodeled. Please review our photos. This unit is one of the most sought after and revisited vacation destination on Oahu's west side of the island The west side of Oahu is known as the dryer and sunnier side of the island. It is the Waianae Coast. The weather is less humid, less rainy, more sunshine and you can feel the tropical Hawaiian trade winds blow through the units. This weather difference results in some of the clearest cleanest waters on the island of Oahu. These clear blue waters provide an ideal backdrop for photography, sunbathing, beachcombing, snorkeling, diving, fishing, bodyboarding, surfing, kayaking, boating, hiking or simply relaxing on the lanai. Makaha is located approximately 40 minutes from the airport by car and 60 minutes west from the hustle and bustle of the state’s capital Honolulu, famous Waikiki Beach, Punchbowl Cemetery, and Diamond Head Crater. Most of the other major tourist attractions on Oahu are an easy day trip from the condos. Come and stay at the beach in this rural community of Makaha. Enjoy the "local" environment, the local residents, and experience some of the most beautiful, uncrowded sandy beaches on the island of Oahu. You can easily visit the famous Makaha International Surfing Beach in the next cove, North Shore's Pipeline and Sunset Beach. Pearl Harbor, or shopping and dining in any of the Resort areas. You can then return home to Makaha, enjoy the beach, swim in the pool, relax in the hot tub, or relax on your lanai to unwind watching the sunset as the fabulous day closes and you recharge for another great day in paradise.

This Condominium is one of only a few condominiums that are built right on the beach with the Pacific Ocean at your door step. Few areas in Hawaii can boast of such an secluded, white sand, crescent shaped beach with waters flat at times for snorkeling and surf at other times for "riding the waves". This beach is often referred to as "Oahu's Best Kept Secret" . Very few travelers even know of this beach and it is not seen from the main road. Both of our units "Guest Unit" VRBO #507795 and "Owner's Unit" VRBO #854197 face the ocean with 180 degree view of this white sandy beach, clear blue ocean and the historic Mauna Lahilahi. The fabulous views, spectacular sunsets, sounds of the waves and the close proximity to the beach makes this a perfect place to enjoy Hawaii's casual life style. Enjoy paradise, relax with the tropical trade winds, and play all day at the beach. Marine life is abundant in this cove known as "turtle cove". Daily sightings of turtles, dolphins, whales (in season), monk seals, schools of fish, and more can be seen from your private lanai. You might even see the turtles and seal lions on the beach being warmed by the sun.
The one bedroom one bath units can accommodate 4 guests and adjoining both units together can accommodate 8. This combination of the "Guest Unit" VRBO 507795 and and the Owner's Unit" VRBO # 854197 has been very popular with couples traveling together or larger families requiring the extra space. The unit has everything that you will need with fully equipped kitchen, linens, and beach gear. We have tried to think of everything for your comfort. We have free internet in the unit, smart TV in living rooms and bedrooms, newly created desk area to accommodate electronics and office work, large front loading washers and dryers, upgraded mattresses in each bedroom and art works of local artists throughout the these two units. Repeat guests are a norm in our condos and guests have been returning here year after year which confirms this is truly a "special place".

Makaha Homeless Camp Rental
Condo inside was very good but property is about 60 yards from a homeless camp set up on the side of the beach. There were over a dozen campsites set up and these people had unleashed dogs wandering around on the beach. The homeless camp was in direct view from the lanai. The owner should have disclosed this on the description of his property. Also the owner took over 12 hours to respond to concerns about broken chairs and appliances. Communication should have been more prompt. I understand the Hawaiian laws that allow a homeless camp to exist next to a resort property is not the owners fault but potential renters should be made aware.I would not return to this location unless the homeless camp situation is resolved.JW

50th Anniversary
Magnificent property in all aspects. Best VRBO we have ever experienced . We lived next door to this complex 50 years ago as newlyweds and this return to this paradise was fantastic. The owner is very accommodating to all the guest's needs but did not bother us at all. The unit is comfortable and well maintained, well decorated and is perfect for two people possibly 4. The beach and pool are fantastic. Hawaii sun is harsh but there is plenty of shady areas. Enjoyed this immensely complete with half century memories. Thank you

Much Needed Vacation
We loved our stay. The location is beautiful. You have to be prepared to at least 20 minutes for restaurants and yes there are homeless but they will not bother you. If there is a larger group in the adjoining condo it can get kinda loud but luckily for us it was only one night. Overallnit was beautiful and relaxing.

Tranquility in western Oahu
We wanted to spend some time on Oahu but not in the bustle of Waikiki. This is certainly the spot for it. Right on the beach with far less people than Waikiki with swimming and snorkeling just off the beach. The next bay around has an area known as turtle rock and we frequently saw turtles in the water. You can do as little or as much as you want, either take a book to the beach and sit in the sun until the amazing sunset occurs or pack your walking shoes and drive the along the road until you can't and there are amazing walks. The drive along the coast is beautiful. Just two things, as the owner says, go to the supermarket before you check in. Also there is a connecting door which does increase the noise when there are people next door. If you want to escape the rat race, this is the place for you.

About the host

Hosted by Property Owner

Host profile image
As owner’s we spend a majority of our time enjoying this very special location with our family and friends. When we are not there we do offer them to guests so they too can experience our little slice of paradise.

Why they chose this property

The Hawaiian Princess is a very popular year round destination. All units in the Hawaiian Princess have fabulous views of the ocean, beach and sunsets. This unit is recently, remodeled, upgraded, with the attention to all the details. The unit is clean, well maintained, and our personal management of these units has added to our success. We have tried to make this your home away from home. We want to share this piece of paradise with each of you when we are not on the island. We also receive excellent reviews from all those who have the opportunity to stay in our units.

What makes this property unique

The Princess sits right on the beach and the 180 degree view of the ocean, beach, and marine life. Our guest repeatedly comment that the views from the lanai are breathtaking. This location is not in the “touristy areas” which makes it so special, yet Honolulu, Waikiki, and other attractions are and easy day trip from the condos! Our guests repeatedly comment how we have thought of everything to make you visit as comfortable as possible.
