About this apartment rental

AWESOME! 180º UNOBSTRUCTED OCEAN /SUNSET VIEWS! BEACHFRONT! LIGHT, BRIGHT, AIRY, AND SUPER CLEAN CONDO! LEGAL VACATION RENTAL. NO RESORT FEE. FREE PARKING IN GATED LOT FREE iNTERNET/WiFi This unit has not been remodeled as recently as our other condos—THE RATE REFLECTS THAT! It has carpet instead of tile and a queen bed rather than a king bed as our other units have. Although the condo is "dated," it has all the same amenities and equipment, and is SUPER CLEAN just like the rest of our condos. So if you are looking for a squeaky clean condo at a lower rate right on the beach but don’t need fancy—this might be just the perfect condo for you.

**PLEASE NOTE--NO CENTRAL AC--HAS PORTABLE AC IN BEDROOM, BUT IT WILL NOT COOL OTHER AREAS. WE HAVE CEILING FANS, STAND FANS, AND GREAT CROSS-VENTILATION ALONG WITH WONDERFUL TRADE WINDS (MOST OF THE TIME--NO GUARANTEES ON TRADES).
. PLEASE let us know you are OK with AC status when you request to book this "dated" condo.

When we say BEACHFRONT, we mean absolute beachfront! The PRINCESS BUILDING sits smack dab on the beach in the photo! It's the most beautiful beach on Oahu.

A secured 16-story building (2 elevators) with pool, hot tub, tennis, outside BBQ area, Rec Room with ping pong table. This condo is on a mid-level floor.

This is a one-bedroom/one-bath (shower/tub combo) condo. It has a lovely lanai with unparalleled 180º ocean/sunset view. Lanai sunshade.

Queen bedroom and queen-size sleep sofa in living room. Fully furnished full-size kitchen with full-size appliances (fridge has icemaker) and all the necessities. We supply all dishes, pots 'n pans, silverware, toaster, regular drip coffeemaker (we furnish filters), microwave, and a blender for making those onolicious Hawaiian fruit smoothies. We also have a dishwasher, 2 TVs, ceiling fans, stand fans, washer/dryer, iron/board, all linens (including beach towels), hair dryer, beach chairs, mats, boogie boards, snorkeling equipment, beach umbrella, and cooler. The spices in the condo vary—some guests buy new and leave-so we never know exactly what is there—best to check first and then buy accordingly. We even provide binoculars for in-condo use--watch right from your lanai as the whales (in season), dolphins, and giant sea turtles put on a show!

THE PRINCESS IS A SMOKE-FREE COMPLEX! Smoking is NOT ALLOWED in the units, on the lanais, in/at the corridors, elevators, pool, rec room, BBQ area, or in the lobby! Smoking is permitted ONLY in designated smoking area with umbrella table and chairs located well away from the building.

No animals of any kind permitted at the Princess.

Out of respect for our neighbors, some of whom are full-time residents who treasure their peace and quiet, and others are vacationers who want a quiet period of relaxation, we allow no visitors. Only the registered guests may occupy condo.

We require a Rental Agreement with a simple, short basic information form that needs to be filled out, signed, and returned to us before Arrival Info is e-mailed to you. This document will be e-mailed to you immediately after confirmation.

Makaha is on the NON-TOURISTY side of Oahu--very much "OLD" Hawaii--nothing new or fancy here! Our location is out on the beautiful Leeward Coast with its incredible beaches. This is NOT a touristy location, and it is about a 45-minute to an hour's drive, depending entirely on traffic, to Waikiki & Honolulu.

ALL MAJOR ATTRACTIONS ARE A LONG DRIVE FROM CONDOS.

ALL HAWAII BEACHES ARE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC; however, since there is not much public parking in the area, our beach is generally not crowded. The Princess has NO control over who uses this beach. There are homeless camps along the coast island wide, but not on our beach.

Makaha has lots of fast food and ethnic restaurants (be sure to try BEACHHOUSE 604, a guest favorite where you can eat outside by the ocean--watch for the dolphins). Spicy House in Maili has wonderful Thai food, and it not too far from condo.

There is fine dining only 20 minutes away at Ko'Olina and Au'Lani Disney Hotel. Kapolei is about 20-25 minutes away, and has MANY great restaurants and really nice shopping. There is a water park in Kapolei. All drive times are subject to time of day and traffic of course.

World-famous Makaha Surfing Beach (home to international surfing competition) is just a very short hop down the coast from the condo.

In the late afternoons and early evenings, the condo is unbearably hot. We had to retreat to the bedroom each afternoon for the air Conditioning. The breeze is not enough to cool the condo. We were miserable each evening

Property was clean, well-stocked, and the beach was amazing! Property management was very responsive to questions. It was a quiet area away from the Waikiki frenzy.

I was in town to visit my Mom who was recovering from a stroke. The property was perfect! It was worth the drive to that side of the island. The view was beautiful, we saw a seal swimming along the shoreline playing. The beach wasn’t crowded and everything is exactly as described! The owners are completely transparent on any construction( wasn’t bothersome at all as you are gone most of the time) Owners are also very helpful and quick to respond. I have to come back multiple times to help my Mom so hoping I am lucky enough to be able to stay here again! Mahalo Nui Loa!!

Everything was smooth, as-advertised, and done well--comfortable, well stocked kitchen and beach-toys; killer breeze, view, local suggestions, and communication. If we get back to the island we'll definitely return.

I don't like being so critical, but honestly I really wish we had stayed somewhere else and we would not stay here again. A few positives first though before the reasons we didn't like the place. The beach is nice, it is a bit steep if kids can't swim, but for our kids they had a blast. Snorkeling is available right off the beach. Great view of sunsets, turtles, sea lions, etc... Everything is 'right there'. However, we would not stay here again because: The first reason is all the rules, I've never stayed in a place that was so ridiculous. Don't sit on the bedspread, don't use the air conditioner during the day, don't unplug any plugs, don't dry your bathing suit on the lanai, take out your trash every day, wash and fold the sheets before you leave, the list just goes on and on with signs everywhere in BOLD UNDERLINES 'DO NOT'. It was far more like staying in a crazy relative's place and following their rules as a guest instead of feeling like a paying customer. Second, there was construction almost every day that was not disclosed in the listing. No relaxing on the lanai for us with the ocean sounds drowned out by reciprocating saws. Third, we definitely overpaid. The place is listed as 'dated', but it is neglected. The place was gross and super worn. How hard would it be to use a magic eraser on the bathroom door or cabinets, there was a two inch brown trim of filth around the edges. Everything was very worn, pans were bent, Tupperware leaked, glasses broke. There was even a leak in the place when we were there and the maintenance staff moved the ceiling panels to access it - but they didn't put it back and one of the tiles fell and hit my daughter. The maintenance philosophy is definitely wait until it breaks to address. Finally, the neighborhood is advertised as 'locals', but it is definitely not nice. Lots of broken down cars and trash in the yards. Tons of homeless. In fact when we snorkel from the beach, we had to navigate the homeless camp's fishing lines. Overall, this is a cheap, budget ocean view location, but we've stayed at other ocean view, beach front rentals in Hawaii with the same budget and they were way nicer than this. We overpaid and could have gotten so much more for our money.

This place was awesome! The views off the balcony were superb. My wife and I enjoyed our 30th anniversary there for a week. We spent a couple days seeing other parts of the island and were very glad to get back to the cozy condo and the amazing beach. Snorkeling was great and the beach was perfect. We will definitely go back to the same location. The owners were fabulous to work with and very quick to respond with any issues. We loved it.. and will be going back.

This was a perfect condo for 2people. It had everything we needed with an excellent ocean view. Rarely more than a handful of people on the beach. Some neighbors played their conch shells each sunset. We saw several whales. The beach gets deep very quickly and has a strong riptide, so probably would not be the best location for young children or their aging grandparents. We loved it so much, we want to return for longer next time.
