The view was gorgeous. Beach right there. Listening to the sound of the ocean as you fall asleep at night was a perfect end to each day.

We had a wonderful stay at this Hawaiian Princess condo! This is our second time staying at a condo at Hawaiian Princess so we already knew about the location and how far away it is to get to many things but we don't mind the drive in exchange for the peacefulness of this property. The host was responsive whenever I had a question - which I really appreciated. The reasons I give this property a 4/5 instead of a 5/5 is for the following reasons: 1) The wrap around balcony is AMAZING yet there was no lounge chair to use even though there is a picture of a wooden lounge chair/bench in the photos. 2) The massage chair highlighted in the listing hardly works. The only part that works is the leg massage. And while this in no way effects my stay over-all, I still expected it to function properly since it's listed as an amenity. 3) 1 Garbage bag - and when I asked about it - I was told this is a self-catering unit. Ok... but where does it say that? I had no problem buying paper towels and napkins for my stay however - I really don't want to have to go buy a whole box of garbage bags for a 5 night stay. Would it really be too much to ask to leave 2 garbage bags for a 5 night stay? There was also only 1 dishwasher tablet which was fine for us because we just hand washed the dishes with the provided dish soap and sponge. 4) The snorkeling gear was unusable. Don't depend on using it. 5) Homeless sleeping on beach right in front of condo.

The host never attached instructions to the email she sent me 6 weeks prior to my trip. The instructions she claimed she sent had the correct WiFi password and username apparently. BIGWAVE server which is shown directly on the VRBO app is not available. Host went out of the country and failed to tell us. She was unreachable until our last day of the trip after we already checked out. Safety concerns. It looks like someone broke into the place and it’s not secure. We arrived and the slat to the bedroom window was broken and on the ground. The back sliding glass door looked like someone had broken in. The glass itself was only framed on three sides making gap in the door so the door is never completely closed. It was fixed previously with scotch tape. The door was hard to move. You can’t move the left side, it wasn’t on the track well either. It was apparent someone had tampered with the door and broke it. It could if fallen and shattered. I tried contacting the host immediately. We had no real way to lock up our stuff due to the door and window. Anyone could have easily gotten into where we were staying and we also were there with two 13 year old girls. The beach gear was in a box under two chairs on the back patio, we never found them. We had to buy more and they were left for future use . Major safety concerns for us and our belongings since house wasn’t properly secure. No paper towels, no towels or dish sponges. No way to clean. Won’t rent again.

Overall everything was next to perfect. We traveled the entire island and checked all the beaches. This beach has amazing sand and is quite private. The place was clean and the view went on for miles. Beds were great! Shampoo, paper towels and laundry detergent would have made it absolutely perfect. No real problem here though as there was a store close by. Thank you for the use of your condo!

Hear the ocean all night long with beautiful views and sunset.

Good points: fantastic view, location close to the ocean; very few people on the beach; well kept facility; clean place, great mattresses; lots of closet and storage space. Bad points: 40 to 60 minutes to downtown, through a homeless encampment, so every drive anywhere takes a lot of your day; no sharp knives and awful pots and pans; no soap for shower and washer; one trash bag; 2 dishwasher pods; at this price, which is much more than others in the building, I expect to not have to make a trip to the grocery store before I can shower.

The beach is great. The room was great. We've stayed at this location before and its a little gem nestled in a local neighborhood. Our only complaints were that the hallway door was not working properly when we 1st arrived and was a little frustrating (salty air seemed to be the cause)... and a door needs to be installed in the 2nd bathroom.

This condo was amazing! We had such a good time. Check-in and check-out was easy. There are boogie boards, snorkel gear, and chairs but the umbrella is a little messed up. The sunset every night is the highlight of the day!
