About this apartment rental
This condo is our home away from home! This unit is personally managed by us to ensure you get the best possible service during your vacation. Please contact us if you have any questions not addressed in description.
In compliance with the new laws in Hawaii, this unit is required to advertise and rent for a minimum of 30 days. Please contact the owner directly for availability and inquire regarding any discounts available.
Welcome to our high floor corner unit with an amazing view. It is what you expect from the pictures and the discription but only better. These are the words from our guests so to be belived. This unit had kitchen and bathrooms recently renovated as well as the main area floor. The condo itself is tastefully decorated and comes with all of the creature comforts of home. It is a one bedroom corner unit, with a king size bed, writing table, wall mounted TV, large walk-in closet with an en suite bathroom. Additional sleeping (queen sized bed) is provided by a new soft leather pull out couch located in the living room with a half bath in the main living space.
Our linen and towels are high quality that are sure to enhance your comfort.
The unit has its own washer and dryer, dishwasher, and 2 separate air conditioning units. Home cooking is a vital part of our life and as such, we have made sure to stock the kitchen just like back home, with ample knives, cutting boards, quality pots and pans, salad spinners, bakeware, cookware etc. While cooking your supper after a long day on the beach, enjoy the sounds of the ocean while enjoying the fabulous view. With our luxurious high top table and chairs on the lanai, enjoy your dinner while watching the beautiful sunset. This is also a perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee and breakfast, and a great place to count the number of turtles surfacing in the bay. If you wish to watch the sunrise, simply head out to the walkway on the other side of building (immediately out the front door of the unit) and watch the sunrise over the Makaha Valley Mountains. The unit comes complete with big screen smart TV, cable and free upgraded wifi and an additional smart TV in the bedroom. You won't be disappointed!
LOCATION:
This property is on the west coast of Oahu in Wai'anae, away from the hustle and bustle of Honolulu. The weather is less humid, less rainy and has more sunshine than other parts of the island. This weather lends itself to some of the clearest, cleanest waters on the island of Oahu.
This CORNER unit is located on a higher floor of the Hawaiian Princess condo building and overlooks a deserted 1 km stretch of breathtaking beach on Lahilahi point (turtle point). Our condominium is one of only a few buildings that are built right on the beach with the Pacific Ocean right off the door stop of the building. It is "Oahu's Best Kept Secret" as most travellers and many locals are not familiar with this spectacular beach. Once there many guests become repeat travellers to our condo.
LOCAL AND COMMON AMENITIES:
There is always room on the nearly deserted beach, a beach which words can do no justice (see attached pictures). The area is great for snorkeling (lots of fish, turtles, and more), swimming, or just playing around in the waves. Every day, you will see tourist boats troll the shores in search of whales...yes, this means you will see whales breaching the surface of the water from the comfort of the beach or your lanai. If you are looking for adrenaline pumping excitement, then look no further as the surf can get fairly large at times as the adjacent beach (Makaha beach) routinely holds surfing competitions. You can rent surf boards, boogie boards, bikes, paddle boards, kayaks, etc. from the local shops (5 minutes away) and can take surf lessons at the nearby army beach. There are options close by where the waves are tame (due to a breakwater) and the water is shallow (Pokai Beach) if you are traveling with little ones, or if you want to venture a little further away (20 minute drive), check out the lagoons located at the Disney Resort at Ko Olina. There are nearby hikes (i.e. mountain ranges, flatland hike to Albatross breeding ground), reasonably priced golf courses and many other local treasures to enjoy (i.e. restaurants, deep sea fishing, etc.). If you wish to do any major sight seeing, everything is only a car ride away (i.e. Hanauma Bay, sky diving, paragliding, etc.).
The grounds boast a beautiful refurbished pool deck and hot tub surrounded by new chaise lounges where you can bask in the sun if you want a break from the beach and surf. There is a tennis court or pickle ball court open to all guests and a common barbecue area (with 2 large large Weber Grills), complete with picnic benches and tables.

My family and I travel a lot, and this property was just perfect... absolutely stocked to the max with everything you could possibly want or need. Im pretty picky and there wasnt a thing missing. The unit is GORGEOUS and the views are just off the charts. The fact its an end unit with the wrap around deck is a huge bonus. The beach below was very quiet, an incredible place to watch the sunset and to play in the water. We had a blast. The complex is pleasant and offers a nice pool, hot tub, rec area and place to fire up a grill. The complex is also located near a number of other great beaches that we drove to, as well as groceries or anything else you might need. The owner's communication was outstanding. I highly recommend this unit if you are staying in this area.
Ive seen a few comments about homelessness and felt a need to address it... we travel a ton, and this is an unfortunate nationwide problem in expensive resort communities with larger populations. My advice is have compassion and know this building is gated... we felt 100% safe and secure when on the complex grounds, and again would highly recommend if you are looking for a beautiful unit with incredible views and easy, private beach access.

My friend and co-worker and I extended our visit on Oahu after a conference, and spent three nights at this beautiful condo. The highlight was definitely the sunset views from the lovely wrap around patio, and nearly empty beach. The condo was very comfortable and had all the amenities needed. The master bed was ridiculously comfortable, and my friend slept well on the pull out sofa. Check in and out was super easy, and great communication with the owners. Keep in mind the location is quite far from many of the common tourist attractions on Oahu (Polynesian Cultural Center and Kualoa Ranch, the two excursions we took), but one of our favorite things ended up being those long road trips around the island. You are definitely away from the busy tourist areas near Waikiki, so that's a bonus! Our stay in this condo was a great end to an amazing vacation! Thanks to the wonderful hosts!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Brenda's condo. It is beautifully furnished and decorated, and well stocked with everything you could need. The location is breath taking, with views of the ocean, gorgeous beach, and mountains out every window. The beach is uncrowded and literally at your doorstep (once you ride down the elevator.) All of the bldg staff were friendly and helpful.
Brenda was extremely responsive to my many queries before and during our trip. Excellent communication.
We had such a lovely time, we actually tried to extend our trip, but the condo was already booked. We can't wait to return! Thank you, Brenda!

When I go to Hawaii my musts for a rental are ocean front, a short walk to (hopefully) a white sand beach, waves to put me to sleep at night, and a beautiful sunset view. This condo had all of this and more. We enjoyed the well appointed kitchen, the big TV so my husband could watch his Kansas City Chiefs football game, and all the beach accessories you could want. The beach itself was never crowded and very quiet.
The description of the condo on VRBO was spot on. The staff at the Princess were welcoming, with a very easy check in. Brenda communicated well throughout our stay.
We know that this beach front condo with all of its amenities is an exceptional value!! We would certainly return.

Everything about this stay was great! The check in process was easy. The security and cleaning crew were beyond friendly. The neighborhood was poor but we didn’t have any problem with criminal activity and the security was very good at the condos. The view was awesome, just like advertised. The beach was nice, not crowded at all. We would stay again if we ever get a chance to return to Oahu.

This was the most beautiful property we have ever stayed at. The condo was even better than expected. The space was very clean, the views were just amazing and the place was well stocked with all you need. Want to visit the beach, chairs, cooler, towels and beach toys were there. Want to snorkel, they have your supplies! This corner condo offers a wrap around Lanai with 180 degree views. We took advantage of the tradewinds and opened all the sliding doors in the evening to enjoy the lovely crashing waves and cool breeze. I didnt even mention the complex with easy acces to the beach and acces to a refrigerated pool to cool off on a hot day after the beach. The residents were also very nice. Thank you Brenda, you were very responsive and provided all we needed for a wonderful stay. We plan to stay here again when we come back to Hawaii. This place was heaven on earth.

Our overall impression of the property was amazing! Seriously view was breathtaking, sunsets were beautiful and out of this world! The beach was calm, and there was hardly anybody ever on the beach. Even in the heat of the day there was never more than 30 people on Makaha Beach, a 300 ft to 400 ft beach with light yellow gold sand and aqua blue and turquoise waters. And with the beach as your backyard, especially a beach like that, everything was perfect!!
The shower was a little bit small, the pocket doors to the bathrooms were a little bit awkward. I'm a big guy so maybe that's just me. It's not Ritz-Carlton as it is in a fairly regular working class neighborhood. Since I'm working class that didn't bother me. It's also fair to say that Waimea as it's share of homeless, but I did not see any on the property or adjacent to the property. I did see some encampments driving along the highway for approaching the turn into the complex most of them are along the other beaches close to the area but not the beach that the resort is on. Let's just say this I've stayed in many hotels on beaches around the world but very few had such a quiet and pristine Beach as a one that this property is on. Makaha Beach was again amazing!

Our entire stay from arrival, entry, impression, provisions, to hospitality was flawless. There was clear communication and everything was clean and cozy! The condo is very well decorated and the view from the kitchen and living room is an absolute dream. This place makes the idea of staying in at your rental as appealing as going out! We looked forward to coming "home" every evening to sunset and listen to the waves. We would highly recommend this rental to anyone! And we are so appreciative to the host for such hospitable amenities and for such a wonderful stay!

This place is Amazing!
It is absolutely immaculate, and you will want for nothing during your stay! Nothing! You will audibly gasp as the elevator door opens & you see where you are staying!
The panoramic view, the beach and the unbelievable attention to detail is second to none. We know...we do VERBO's all the time, and this one is far above almost all others. Breanda could do a Master Class in how to run a VERBO. She was communicative, helpful and available if needed.
If the TradeWinds are kind, we will most certainly be back to this jewel.
Aloha & Mahalo!

Everything you need for a Hawaiian getaway. Awesome views from inside and outside of the property. Awesome beach that is steps away. Property has all the items needed for a great stay. I have stayed here twice and would be my first choice to stay again on my next visit to Oahu.

our condo at the hawaiian princess was really nice. and i should have done my research before i booked because the surrounding area once you leave the princess gates is very impoverished with very limited restaurant options. homeless camps were are everywhere. it was very unexpected to see this for miles as we made the drive from the airport thru waianae and makaha. when i shared my thoughts about this with brenda once we arrived, she was very thoughtful and genuine with her responses. i would love to give this an outstanding review because the condo was great but the area is so impoverished it took away from having a positive experience.

After a wonderful wedding and reception, my husband and I flew to Hawaii to find an equally wonderful home away from home with spectacular views. Needless to say, we did not want to leave. We will definitely be coming back!!

Brenda's home is amazing. As expected, my wife and I fell in love with the view instantly as well as the comforts, cleanliness and homey feeling of her condo. The photos make it look quite pleasant, but it was even better in person. After we got back home, as we got in bed for the night my wife turned to me and said, "it's too quiet" she was longing for those ocean sounds we got used to during our 10 night stay. I then turned on an audio recording I had made of the ocean sounds during our stay, it wasn't quite the same but it brought back all the memories. We also had the best time on the beach by the property, especially using the boogie boards we found in the closet :) so fun! Thanks again Brenda for the lovely accomodations for our special anniversary trip!

Close your eyes and imagine what Paradise might look like...
Now open your eyes, and there you are, in Brenda and Ted's unit at the Hawaiian Princess in Makaha Bay.
Not only is the location magical, but the condo is exquisitely furnished and maintained, with every little detail thought of so that anything you need will be there exactly when you need it.
Thanks, Brenda and Ted for sharing your home with us!

If we ever get back to Oahu, there’s no where else we would want to stay!
The condo is BEAUTIFUL!
The view is MAGICAL!
We will miss the sound and views of the Pacific, the turtles every morning and the beach that had plenty of sand and room for everyone.
Overall, this place made our experience UNFORGETTABLE!!! Mahalo nui loa!!!

We do not like crowds and shopping malls, so we were thrilled to find this gem on the leeward side of the island away from the chaos of Honolulu. The wraparound lanai gives you amazing views of not just the coastline but the mountains behind. We saw amazing rainbows coming down off of Makaha valley. The unit is well-stocked with things like spices and condiments which really helps with grocery shopping! Who wants to buy a bottle of mustard and use it once or twice? The beach isn't crowded at all and feels very private. The surf can be a little rough at times when you are trying to get in or out of the water but once you are in, the swimming is amazing! Plus there are sea turtles and we enjoyed sitting on the lanai in the mornings with our coffee when the sun rays are hitting the water perfectly and illuminating them as they swim by and surface for air. The bed was super comfy and the bathrooms are well stocked with shampoo, conditioner, etc. We found all sorts of beach stuff in the closet but we really only needed the beach towels. We were left wanting nothing. Truly, a special condo rental and private paradise.

Beautiful condo with a stunning ocean view. The perfect place to just relax and heal. Although the surrounding area is not the typical touristy shopping/dining out experience, we felt completely safe. The staff at the Hawaiian Princess was very accommodating. Thank you Brenda, we would love to return someday!

Everything about the unit was spectacular! I especially loved the view from the lanai. The only thing we weren’t prepared for was the amount of homeless in the area, but that has no reflection whatsoever on how nice Brenda’s place is. We truly loved it!

My husband and I just returned from a week stay and were relaxed the moment we walked in the door. Brenda was amazing and very helpful with questions we had about the condo and recommendations on the area. The kitchen is well equipped and we lacked for nothing. The bed is super comfortable. Plenty of everything to enjoy the beach - towels, chairs, snorkeling gear, cooler and umbrella. We found the surf a little too much for our age, but enjoyed the pool a couple times a day. Met a lot of great people! The staff at the building were very friendly and helpful. Saving the best for last, let's talk THE VIEW! The view is stunning all day long. Sunrise throws great light across the ocean as it comes up from behind the condo. Sunsets were amazing! The stars at night, glorious. We spent some quality time just watching the day go by. It was a lovely way to just BE. We are already looking forward to another visit.

The views are absolutely stunning! They are better in person than the rental pics :) The condo was super clean and had everything necessary for a stay including snorkel equipment and beach chairs. We also felt very safe in the area with it having security on staff at all hours.

Brenda was absolutely amazing. She kept in contact with us prior to arrival.
Check-in process was very smooth. The condo was very nice, very clean and well maintained. The View was amazing. The condo was stocked with many beach accessories and kitchen accessories. Towels, wash Rags, beach towels, hand towels were provided. This really helped us as we were coming from Indiana and did not have to pack all of this. I have shared the condo VRBO reservation number with several friends. Hope to go back someday. Thank you.

We stayed here on our honeymoon and the condo was fantastic! Brenda was great to work with and she checked in on us to make sure everything was going smoothly. The condo was immaculate and the kitchen had everything we needed and more! The view from the lanai is more than anyone could ever hope for! My husband was super excited that there is a Planet Fitness 5 minutes down the road :-) The beach was never crowded and there were plenty of beach toys and chairs provided… Fantastic!

After 5 days in the hustle and bustle of Waikiki we moved our vacation to this stunning condo in Waianae. Waianae was a much needed slower pace and less crowds. The condo has a private gate, the corner lanai is large and inviting, the ocean is literally the entire view and the view is unbelievable. If you like to cook plan to stop at the store on the way up, get the groceries for your whole stay and use the beautiful and fully stocked kitchen. The pictures on the listing are exactly what you will find here. Very clean and well cared for condo! The beach angle at the ocean edge was a little too much for our 6 year old, but he had just as much fun in the pool. Take the time to sit on the lanai and watch for sea turtles, we saw multiple each day (early mornings we a little easier to see them). We will absolutely be staying here next time we visit!
