About this apartment rental

30 day minimum rental. We also have condos at the Hawaiian Princess that can be rented for less than 30 days. Please inquire for details.

Absolutely the best kept secret on Oahu, the Hawaiian Princess Resort is only 45 minutes away from the airport, less than an hour from Waikiki, and a world away from the crowds. Located on the sunny leeward coast of the island, this condo is situated on a long white sandy beach. Enjoy a quiet, peaceful morning walk along the shore where you may be the only one on the beach. Watch spectacular sunsets over the ocean as you dine on your private lanai. Fall asleep each night listening to the rhythm of the waves right outside your door.


The ocean in front of the condo has abundant aquatic life. You can swim with the many sea turtles that frequent the area, or spot tropical reef fish and an occasional eel while snorkeling. Watch the dolphins play in the cove. In the winter, observe the whales from your private lanai. Even the endangered Monk seal occasionally pays a visit to the beach. When the surfs up, you can boogie board or even try surfing. All of these activities can be experienced right outside your front door. Resort amenities also include a pool, jacuzzi, picnic area, tennis court, barbeque grill, and a game room. Also, within a very short distance you will find two outstanding golf courses, deep sea fishing, and fine dining.

Our upscale condo has been recently remodeled. with the best of everything. Amenities include a fantastic bedroom with a wall-mounted flat screen TV, engraved banana leaf furniture and a king-size bed with a luxurious memory foam mattress topped with Hawaiian quilt and shams. It also has a spectacular, fully furnished kitchen with cherry wood cabinets including a built-in hutch, an engraved and hammered copper sink, GE Profile appliances, Silestone countertops and a tropical bamboo ceiling. The bathroom has a beautifully tiled, large walk-in shower with the ever popular, rain style showerhead and horizontal body jets. There is also an engraved copper sink and Danze bamboo faucets complimenting the cherry vanity.

The condo has a large capacity washer and dryer and bamboo flooring throughout. The living room has a queen-size sofa sleeper, large screen, smart TV. The sunset-ocean view from the lanai (and living room and kitchen) is nothing short of breathtaking. The condo has been decorated in tropical colors and accented with bamboo wall coverings.

The condo comes equipped with all linens, kitchenware and beach equipment that you will need for your stay in paradise. No expense has been spared to make this condo one-of-a-kind. It is perfect for honeymoons, anniversaries or anyone else who deserves the very best. If you want to pamper yourself and spend some time on the island living as Ali’i (Hawaiian for Royalty) this is it.

Note: This part of the island is a mixture of socio-economic backgrounds. We have multimillion dollar homes mixed with lower income housing and unfortunately, some homeless camps. There are camps on the west side because of the great weather, but there are homeless all over the island, especially in the big city. The average price of a home is well over a million dollars here. That prices a lot of people out of paradise. That being said, you are much more likely to be a victim of a crime in Waikiki or at a tourist destination than you would be at the Hawaiian Princess. We are a gated and secure building. Most people leave their lanai doors open 24/7 to let the breeze come in and to hear the sights and sounds of the ocean. Just as an FYI, we live in the area, and we have never had an incident related to the homeless, except maybe someone holding a sign looking for a meal or a couple of dollars.

Beautiful condo with comfy bed and sweeping ocean views. Nice gated parking and beach access, however, because all beaches are public there were several loud groups day and night right under balcony limiting our ability to enjoy being outside. Drive to/from condo sad with unhoused taking over several beaches and so much traffic weekday mornings and night! Also beach chairs and umbrellas provided were not functioning properly and should be replaced. Photo shows coffee maker but a zkeurig was available.

Owner was very quick to respond to questions and we could tell that she took pride in her property and the comfort of the guests. Beach was very clean and quiet—just a handful of other people there. The building/property itself was clean & well-maintained. No issues whatsoever. Yes, there are A LOT of homeless people in the neighborhood surrounding the property but this in no way impacts the experience. If you like a peaceful retreat away from the rest of the tourists and Honolulu traffic—this is perfect. Everything you need is just a quick drive and you can easily get to the other side of the island in less than 1-1.5 hrs depending on traffic. We would absolutely stay here again.

Condo was perfect, lots of towels and dishes, balcony was great for listening and watching the ocean, the beach was beautiful and the water was great for swimming. The only minor issue was the area the condo is located in, never had an specific issue with any homeless, and the parking lot is gated so never felt unsafe or uncomfortable, but the huge number of homeless just outside the gates was interesting to say the least. To go out to dinner was a little bit of a drive (20 min), but the Tamura grocery store had lots of supplies and grab and go food items to get us through our stay. Overall love the vacation and am so glad we chose to stay in this particular unit. Also fantastic communication with the host.

The condo was clean and well-equipped with a nice washer/dryer, kitchen equipment, beach and pool towels, coolers, boogie boards, and nice furnishings. There is a great view to the beautiful beach from the balcony. The sunsets are spectacular! The bedding was comfortable, but the mattress is soft, if you have any back issues. There are homeless people in the surrounding community, but there is security to get into the condominium with a key fob from both the road and beach, and also to access the elevator. The food choices are somewhat limited, compared to larger areas on Oahu. We thorougly enjoyed our vacation! Thank you!

Everything went well. The condo has an epic view... beach is always quiet.... maybe 10 people at most once. Very relaxing setting. The staff at the complex is great. The owner of the condo is exceptional! I had some special requests that she went above and beyond to help make it happen. Very relaxing time.......

Nice ocean front high-rise condo on the upper west side of Oahu away from the crowds of Honolulu. Well equipped including beach gear and now one set of snorkel equipment which we left for others. Perfect sunsets. Residents and other vacationers were all friendly. The neighboring area of Waianae has a large homeless population but the property is secure. We really had no complaints and will probably come back at some point in the future. Aloha.
