5.0 / 5.0
We have stayed at this condo building many times over 20 years. Quiet, swimmable beach with gorgeous views. This was our first time in this unit. Typically opt for higher floors but now have a new favorite floor (4th) - puts you right at height of the palm trees and above the beach but not too far up. This unit is comfortable and has both big indoor and outdoor tables to seat the family comfortably. Well equipped kitchen. Comfortable king bed. Beach chairs & sand toys. It is not an updated unit but has been kept well & was clean. Owner very responsive with questions & has a housekeeper that can meet you on arrival. Definitely recommend!
4.0 / 5.0
We love the beach here and the lack of tourists, but the property is getting very run down. And while most of the furnishings provided in the unit were adequate, the tv service was unacceptable. Certainly, we don't go to the beach to watch tv, but we had several days of storms plus a short illness, so were stuck inside more than usual. The tv service is Google tv and the slow wi-fi connection makes it impossible to watch anything for more than 2 minutes without it freezing to buffer and often just drifting away. It was highly annoying and very disappointing.
1.0 / 5.0
Think long and hard whether the risk of a discounted condo is worth the risk!
We checked into this condo and immediately gave notice that we were going to check out the next day.
Facts (with pictures as evidence):
-The fold-out futon style twin bed has stains and is unsanitary.
-The fold-out couch mattress is the thickness of a folded towel. Whoever says that it is comfortable is lying through their teeth, which makes me question all of the favorable reviews.
-The owner did not warn us that the complex was replacing concrete hallway floors (jackhammer sounds all day)
-There is a homeless encampment within 500 yards of the beach entrance.
-Most cabinets were musty and moldy smelling.
-The dishes were half-clean.
-The floor had hair and other dirt on it.
-The gauges on the stove are painted with nail polish.
More facts regarding our horrid engagement with VRBO and the owner:
-We contacted the owner, per VRBO policy, and he replied back with a picture of the thermostat, which we hadn’t complained about.
-I called VRBO no fewer than four times during my vacation.
-The owner only reimbursed us a portion, so we paid over a thousand dollars for one night
I have told countless family and friends about this experience and have heard several similar horror stories. VRBO does not have our best interest in mind and they will definitely lose more money from our lost business than the amount that they profited in this situation.
4.0 / 5.0
We enjoyed how the property was situated on the beach which was long enough for a nice walk. My daily swim was great and I even saw fish while doing so. The sunsets were lovely. Security was excellent. Grounds were kept up. We appreciated having a walk-in shower in the unit. We ate most all meals in the unit which we enjoyed but the stove and oven proved somewhat of a challenge as dials were worn.

Lovely location on a beautiful beach. There was some deferred maintenance but otherwise good.

Location to the beach and it’s views could not be beat! It is not as updated as some, but the price reflects that. Condo is well stocked with beach gear and most of what you need in the kitchen.

My husband and I have stayed at the Hawiian Princess before, in a different unit, and loved its location. We had similar expectations for this condo, and we were disappointed. The biggest issue was the air conditioning. It was not clear in the description that the only air was a temporary unit in the bedroom only. It is barely adequate for that space. The rest of the unit was unbearably hot, especially in the afternoon. Having the glass doors open and allowing the breeze to come into the living room area only helped marginally. It was honestly uncomfortable enough that we ended up staying only two nights, the first night we checked in and one other night, then renting a different condo in Honolulu. The second night we stayed we spent the day on the north shore and when we returned the temporary air unit vent had come undone while we were out and wasn't able to cool the room, so we had to wait a few hours for it to be a comfortable temperature. We contacted the owner to let them know we were unaware of the air situation and were told it was stated in the rental agreement (which is only sent after final payment, and for some reason wouldn't allow us to click the link) so there was nothing they could do. There were so many specific instructions with notes on light switches etc, making everything high maintenance. Also the unit was not cleaned well. The shower was very dirty. Overall, we were unhappy, but mostly felt misled by the description on VRBO.
5.0 / 5.0
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Comfortable, great view! We were able to relax, listen to waves and watch amazing sunsets! Very quiet beach this time of year, children and adults playing and laughing, having a great time. This is definitely a “ Do it again!”
5.0 / 5.0
Even though our location was an hour away from most things, I wouldn’t trade it for anything. The peace and quiet and very few people was just what we were looking for. The view from the balcony was perfect. The snorkeling right out front was perfect and watching the sea turtles along the rock wall or swimming right by us was incredible! We will definitely stay here again with our family of 5 if we return.
5.0 / 5.0
We loved our time in this unit. The wraparound lanai and spacious bedroom and living areas gave us unending sounds of ocean waves, allowing us to breathe deeper. The unit was well stocked with towels, sheets, as well as toiletries and detergents. The view from the 4th floor is lovely as you are at eye level with the palm trees and it's a short elevator ride too. We are really looking forward to coming back and staying here again. It was wonderful and exactly what we needed. Thank you!

This is on the beach with beautiful view and gorgeous sunsets. It has all you want for cooking, and going to the beach. The Beach House restaurant is on the water and food is good. Also an organic farm is a short ride for lunch. If your into golf there is one here but just coming out of bankruptcy and needs some work
4.0 / 5.0
We have stayed in this building 6 times and we love it. We love staying away from the hustle and bustle. This was our first stay in a corner unit. The corners are well worth the money. This particular unit lacked in amenities. The knives in the kitchen barely cut your food and the toaster oven makes terrible toast. Being so far out there isn’t the luxury of going out to eat so be prepared to make all your own food, which we enjoy but having subpar kitchen amenities was annoying.
5.0 / 5.0
We enjoyed our week-long vacation. The Hawaiian Princess' location on a quiet beach was just what we needed. Despite having just 1 bedroom, we were able to sleep 5 comfortably using a futon and sofa bed. We appreciated Ed's friendly tips on sights to see in the local area.

The views / sunsets were amazing. We stayed Sunday to Sunday. We used the BBQ for a couple of dinners and cooked a few other dinners and most breakfast there. We plan to come back.

Our family went to Hawaii to visit family and attend a 60th wedding anniversary. The condo was perfect for our family of 4. Plenty of space, full kitchen, beautiful lanai to drink out coffee. They were stocked with everything you need in the house, including beach chairs, snorkel gear and water toys. Check in was flawless. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you

So lovely!
Truly, everything we needed was there in the unit. The beach chairs and boogie boards were so nice to have. Our housekeeper gave great recommendations of places to eat and places to see. I appreciate the chance to stay here. It made for a perfect quiet stay.

Best vacation ever
Your place was just as described. The view was beautiful. That bed is the most comfortable I have ever slept in on vacation. I slept like a baby ever night. The kitchen and main bathroom are dated and need to be updated, but everthing works great. I had no problem with anything. The only reason I didn't give an overall rating of 5, was the beach in front of the condo is not very good for swimming. Even still I would still stay again. There are two beaches within 10 minutes that are great for swimming.

Fantastic views; clean, quiet beach; felt very safe 😀👍Would love to return and highly recommend to
Very enjoyable place for our family reunion. We rented 3 different places on 3 different floors and all agreed our view on the 4th floor was THE BEST!!! The air mattress on the sofa bed was less than desirable!! Grandson chose to sleep on the floor!! The heating elements on the stove could not be regulated (off or high!!!!) Made great use of the bar be ques and picnic tables outside and down to beach area!!! Everything very clean and everyone friendly!!! Weather great; sunsets beautiful; felt very safe and everyone enjoyed themselves so much!!! Many, many “thank you’s and let’s do this again!!!!”

Perfect rental for a family vacation
Starting with my initial inquiry renting from Ed and Gail was the best experience! I received a very prompt approval reply and after completing the booking couple days before our trip we received a text from the property manager Noeha asking about our arrival time which was very thoughtful. After arriving she met us at the property and gave us a tour of the rental. The property is about 40 minute drive from the airport so a car rental would be highly recommend. We prefer to stay away from the crowded touristy areas so it was perfect for us. The apartment decor is a bit dated but the appointment is clean, very spacious with 2 bathrooms and the views from the wraparound lanai are absolutely stunning. We loved that the beach is literally steps away and not crowded like the beaches in Honolulu! It’s not a private beach but it felt like one. Beach towels, beach chairs, snorkeling masks and even sand toys were all available for us at the rental. Additionally there were kayaks and more beach toys available for the guests at the building. Lastly the washer and dryer in the unit was a huge plus traveling with kids! We were able to wash our clothes and towels daily.
Ed was a great host and checked in with us during our stay. The property manager was great and available to us if we needed anything.
I highly recommend this rental!

Views All Day Long!
My husband, sister, daughter and I thought the unit was PERFECT! The owner is so wonderful and even contacted me right away after I booked to assure me that all was set.
The pictures are accurate and what "feels like a private beach", can not be beat! Sun, fun and views all day long. I spent many hours sitting on the lanai listening to the ocean, what a treat. Some of my best pictures are of the moonlit beach, although the sunsets are just as spectacular. We enjoyed visiting with the other tenants, some were long time residents of the complex, others were on vacation. The building had security and maintenance on grounds and available. The only downfalls for me was the traffic (it can take 5 minutes to go one mile during the busy times) and the local area didn't inspire me to want to take a walk around the neighborhood, something I really enjoy while on vacation. Hard to complain as walking on the beach was not a bad second choice for a morning walk!
I would definitely stay here again, just keeping my trips to the city to a minimum.

Fabulous place to relax!
We had the pleasure of staying in Gail & Ed’s unit Nov 1-18, 2021. This is a corner unit, with an unbeatable view of the ocean in the front, and very nice views of the hills from the north side. The entrance is through a security gate, which made us feel very comfortable in leaving all the doors wide open 24 hours a day. The unit itself is nicely equipped, although the range is in need of an update as the temperature markings for both the stove and oven are worn off…. so temp is a bit of a guessing game. We really appreciated the newer washer and dryer, makes traveling light so much easier! Nohea is the housekeeper for this unit, and having her greet guests as they arrive is brilliant. Overall, we highly recommend this unit to anyone who is looking for an older, comfortable place to stay that just happens to have possibly the best views and beach access on the island!

Beautiful beach front location.
This unit is right on the beach. We listened to the surf day & night. We didn’t use the air conditioning, as it was only for the bedroom. This was our first trip to Oahu so we were out seeing the sights during the day. The unit could use some renovation & a deep cleaning. We still enjoyed our stay. Thank you Gail & Ed.

Missing the view from the lanai already
The Hawaiian Princess was a great place to stay and we enjoyed it thoroughly. The access to the beach and the amenities (gas BBQ grills, tennis courts) were just what we were looking for. Very secure and very safe and we felt that way the entire time we were here. The unit was exactly as described and we knew what to expect and had a great time. Plenty of chairs and umbrellas for the beach. The breezes through the multiple sliding doors in the unit were great. Temps did get a little warm during the day, but the A/C in the master bedroom was perfect to sleep at night. Loved it so much we did not want to go home and are already planning our next trip.

Stunning views
I had read all of the info and reviews of the property, so I knew what to expect. The unit is older and could use some TLC, but still very comfy and had all we needed. We loved the bed, which was super comfortable! We cooked a number of meals and everything worked just fine. Looking forward to visiting again! Ed and Nohea were very helpful and easy to work with.

We have visited the island multiple times in the past decade and always find that we return and love the Waianae region of Oahu. This condo's location is located on a beautiful beach. The views of the turquoise color waters and golden sand are mesmerizing, the sunsets cannot be beat. You can hear the surf clear into the bedroom, we slept so good during our stay. The condo is a well equipped end unit and was perfect for a few home cooked meals. The views from the living room onto the surf or side view back to the mountains are stunning.You will need a rental car here as this location is a minimum 45 min drive down the coast to the freeway and access points to anywhere on the island.The location is situated In rural Hawaii, and not a tourist destination. Be kind and respectful when vjsitjng

Amazing location
Perfect for relaxing on the beach away from crowds. I was pleasantly surprised with how "private" the beach was. It was so nice to have space to relax! Neighborhood is a little rough, so I wouldn't walk too much, but parking is safe and easy at the condo and the beach is perfect.

The Hawaiian Princess condo was perfectly located for our needs. We wanted a condo ON the beach and that is what we got. The beach is clean and beautiful and met all of our expectations. The wrap around lanai gave us an amazing view of the sunsets and moonlight on the beach. There were umbrellas, beach chairs, boogie boards and anything else we needed for a fun day on the beach. We felt very comfortable and safe. We plan to return very soon and will book with Ed again. ~The López Clan

The location of the resort was great, had a private feel. The condo was in need of a little TLC and updating but the 2 sided balcony made up for it! Would stay here again.

We wanted a place that had a beach you could use with out stepping on someone, and was more like Hawaii once was, but on Oahu. We found it. One thing to keep in mind is this is an older complex. It has been well maintained, but if your hunting a Disney World like experience, this isn't it. If what you want is a large sand beach, that isn't crowded, with a rock point that is a nature preserve jutting out making the beach a relatively calm area with beautiful blue water, this is your place( If you want an even more private beach, you just drive north and you have your choices of many). There is plenty of life support nearby for your shopping needs and Honolulu is appx 45min to and 1hr away. Inside the condo, its a bit dated in appearance, but very clean. All the furniture is clean, comfortable and functional as are the beds. The pull out couches mattress has to be INFLATED to be effective(Yes we found this out the hard way). A couple of minuses we came across were the lack of basic cooking items such as mixing bowls and pitchers. The blender came straight from the set of "I love Lucy". It works, but you need ear plugs. My pet peeve is the lack of storage space due to the large number of pillows in the closet. I believe I counted 41 bed pillows in the condo total. Ed, some of these need to go, as it blocks luggage and clothing storage.Two final things, The description of the condo is accurate and yes it has no AC to speak of(except main BR), but with two walls of sliding doors and being on the 4th floor, its easy to manage the temp. I not sure why people complained about it, we never had an issue. Make sure you use the shade on the deck in the afternoons to prevent radiant heat. One note, with doors open, things may feel sticky. This is normal.The second items is people complaining about locals. The town of Makaha is across the main road. This area is a large half moon bay with rock points on each end. The Hawaiian Princess and another condo are on one end, then the remainder of the beach is occupied by homes. There is a public access walkway between the two condos. I saw very few locals utilizing the beaches. The ones that did were generally families and were very well behaved and if you didnt see them come and go by the walkway, you would assume they were guest at the condos. Locals were a nonissue, and friendly to talk to.We encourage you to stay here, and know you will leave relaxed.
