When we first arrived we were extremely unhappy. The homeless population in that area of the island is horrible. They live in tents on the beaches. There are no quality restaurants on that side of the island. The drive to Honolulu or anywhere else is long. The furniture is old and needs to be updated. With that being said, the view was awesome. We just wish we had known before we booked.

Great views from the lanai. The rainbows and sunsets were amazing.

I’ll start off with the one negative because the rest of the review will be glowing! If you’re looking for a relaxing beach vacation or if you have children and just want to play on the beach or in the water, THIS is your place! Everyone at the resort is SO friendly and we felt safe the entire time. The beach is amazing, not crowded, and so beautiful. We saw Sea Turtles and whales from the shore and our room every day! If you are looking for a more adventurous, sight seeing vacation, you might want to stay closer to Honolulu because we had to drive about 30-45 min to see North Shore, Hawaii Kai, Honolulu, Polynesian Cultural Center, etc. the drive is still beautiful and not bad at all! Overall, my husband, daughter and I loved our stay! My daughter was in heaven (she’s 5) playing on the beach every day!

Security was very helpful when we first arrived. We checked in at the gate and was let in. We were unaware we needed a key to get through the elevators to our room but luckily we caught a ride up with one of the vacationers. As soon as u open the door u can see the ocean view. Took off our shoes and headed to the balcony. Just beautiful. The place is equipped with everything you need so don’t pack extra. The only two things the washer door u need to lift up a little and hold it while you push the start button. The bedroom Tv needs to be reset so it can be used. We enjoyed our stay and Thank you for letting us rent this piece of paradise. Mahalo

This location was perfect. Super secure, you have to fob in and fob out. The beach is literally right outside of the lobby. The room we stayed in was fully furnished, clean, & even has extra stuff for the beach. Waianae isn’t in the city so of course we knew we had to drive to do certain activities but you can’t beat the quality of the room and view!

Unit is full of amenities, tools for whatever you need them for, beach gear, laundry, dishes, friendly staff at front desk. Bbq was popular. The saline pool was amazing! Took pictures of the beachfront from 5th floor daily and never gets old. Made me wish I owned one of these!

The view from this property is nothing short of spectacular! We spent every morning on the balcony enjoying our morning coffee. Jody was a joy to work with and the check in process was so easy. The sunsets were spectacular!! The property is located in a nice neighborhood with a drugstore and a supermarket close by. And the condo has everything you would ever need for a day at the beach. Book this unit for your next trip to Oahu. You will be happy you did!

The condo was clean and cozy! We loved the views outside on the balcony! Being on the 5th floor, it was the perfect height to observe the waves from a higher perspective and to enjoy the sounds and sights of the quiet almost private beach!

Communication with Judy was amazing,. The view from the property is amazing

Spent 7 fabulous nights at The Hawaiian Princess, couldn't have asked for a better experience. Traveled with my wife and 2 kiddos (5 & 8) and the space was great. The condo was very well appointed, had everything we needed cooking wise. The sand toys, boogie boards, chairs and snorkeling gear were great. Both kids loved snorkeling to see all the beautiful sea life including, coral, tons of turtles and even a stingray! Location was walkable to a CVS to grab snacks and beverages and a grocery store was 4 minute drive away. Can't wait to get back next year!

The condo was amazing. The view can’t be beat. The condo had everything we needed. Jody was very responsive with any questions. Definitely would stay there again.

My husband and I have been coming to Hawaiian princess for 8 year we love it here! Matt and Jody's place is amazing, everything you need is in the house, just bring your clothes! Bed was super comfy , over all great experience! Would definitely recommend

Jody was extremely responsive. The condo was nice for the 2 of us. Love, love, love the view from the patio and beach wasn't crowded at all.

We just came home from 8 days at this property. The view from here reminds me of a balcony cabin on a cruise ship. You can hear the waves crashing and the sunset is right in front of you. We spent so much time on the patio. I went with my 3 daughters (17,17,20) so be aware there is not a lot of space but we put a futon on the floor and made sleeping arrangements work for us. The hosts are generous with most things you might need such as boogie boards, towels, coolers, etc. There were only a few rolls of toilet paper, ziplock bags, trash bags and detergent so be aware that you are expected to purchase those things if/when you run out. The location on the west coast does make your drive to the North Shore and/or to Honolulu/Waikiki an hour+ but those drives are beautiful and we didn't mind. There are great restaurants close by and a Costco/Cheesecake Factory/Olive Garden only 20 min away. Starbucks is only 5 minutes away. We felt very safe at the condo. We saw the tents people talk about but loved watching all the locals with their dogs on the beach as well as a little man that walks and picks up trash every day. Everyone was very friendly. When we landed back in Texas, we received word from the hosts that they were disappointed in our execution of the cleaning checklist. We were blamed for not taking out the trash (which we did) and for a stain on a chair (which we never saw.) That was not a fun email to come home to so just be aware and to ask questions if you aren't certain. For example, we were asked if we started the wash for the cleaning crew which 1. it was not outlined to do that and 2. they did not leave enough detergent to do that - so that whole exchange felt strange to me. Regardless, overall we had a perfect time in Hawaii. We loved the recommended hikes to watch the sunrise and saw huge turtles at turtle beach. We could see whales from time to time off the patio so bring your best binoculars. There were also a couple turtles that swam up to the beach for a quick minute. If you have specific questions I"m at [email protected]

Friendly owner and building management. Beach and the ocean waves could not be closer. Fantastic hiking trails. Quiet and clean condominium.

We had a terrific time - loved the location and the beach was amazing!! Looking to book again next year!

Loved staying at their property! My kids played in the water all day and it was easy to do it with all the amenities. They have beach chairs, umbrellas, and boogie boards. They were real easy to work with and get more things if we needed them.

I booked this property because of the ocean view, and it didn’t disappoint!!! Absolutely beautiful

Perfect spot right on an amazing beach that was practically empty the whole time when the rest of Hawaii was packed

Everything about our stay was great. We did have to reach out to Jody a couple times during our stay with minor questions and she was quick to reply. We would stay her again.

The condo needs work. Much of the finish work needs to be replaced. The DVD player in the living room doesn’t work. The neighborhood is scary, junky, and doesn’t have much choice of restaurants. Neighborhood reminds me of Mexico, I definitely wouldn’t feel safe taking a walk. The view was great from the deck is spectacular.

We loved this location. It was beautiful. The views were spectacular as we could see whales and turtles from our balcony. Thank you for the thoughtful use of your binoculars and other necessary beach vacation items. The security guard was also super helpful as we arrived on Christmas Eve. Everyone was super friendly to us. We will recommend this location highly to all of our friends!

We enjoyed our vacation. We extended a business meeting for eight days and this location was a good choice. The view is great. It’s near grocery stores (liquor store is inside most grocery stores) and we found some fun and good places to eat and have drinks at. We had a car rental so we were able to explore and enjoy the island. You are 30 miles from the airport and traffic can be heavy week days and Saturdays so plan ahead or use WAZE. Property is older but maintained well. Owners responded well and we had no problems. One of the elevators was out of order for most of our stay. There’s a building manager and a timeshare manager which was a little confusing. There is a guard attendant on duty but not much help. We never had to run the air conditioning and flow through ventilation was excellent. The ocean waves sound like they are in the room even though you are on the 5th floor. One small irritation that had nothing to do with the property owners is there are lots of chickens on the island including the neighbors across the street. Expect to be wakened by the rooster each morning if you are using the flow through ventilation 🐓

As we found the condo wonderful and you can’t get a better view of the beach and evening sunsets. Best view on the Island. The condo is loaded with everything to make your vacation on the island relaxing.

My husband and I enjoyed our stay, the place was just right for the two of us, it had all the necessities to cook and was reasonably clean. Place is gated and a Security guard is on site. We watched turtles swim by, surf was entertaining to watch some days, sunbathing on what felt like a secluded beach which was nice, and amazing sunsets. We wanted to experience this side of the island, neighborhood was okay, we stayed in at night though. Give it a try.

Beautiful apt with a beautiful view.

This is my favorite spot to just hasn't at the beach

My husband and I were looking to enjoy beautiful Hawaiin beaches and warm ocean waters and that's what we got here! The views from the veranda are unbeatable and the beach was nearly empty. The neighborhood is not geared towards tourists which we loved. We shopped at the local grocery store and ate at the local Hawaiin barbeque spot. We felt like we got to experience authentic Oahu and not deal with all the other tourists. The condo has everything we needed, along with a lovely pool and hottub. Although we had some trouble checking in, management at the Hawaiin Princess took care of us. And Jody was responsive and explained what happened. She also sent leis to celebrate our anniversary! It was a lovely stay and exactly what we were looking for! We saw amazing sunsets, several turtles and even a rainbow. A perfect and romantic Hawaiin vacation!

Great place to unwind and relax away from the crowds. Easy enough to drive to the attractions and beaches. Starting and ending each day on the lanai enjoying the sound of the ocean and watching sea turtles was very peaceful. Thank you for sharing your place with us!

The property managers were wonderful to work with and gave us lots of advice about things to do in the area. We felt like we were in our our own little secluded world and despite the sketchy neighborhood, we felt safe at out condo and there were very few people at the beach at any given time. The only draw back was the extra 30-40 minutes of driving each morning and evening when we went on adventures. I would definitely stay here again.

Terrific location - nearly private beach for this condo building and you're only steps to the water. Views of the ocean and sunsets are never ending. The condo unit is good and mostly up to date. AC is in the process of being replaced.The road to this condo is fine but there's no silk stocking route to get you there. Funky local vendors and local grocery stores were interesting and very accommodating, but this is NOT Waikiki - which is one of the great features about it and why we chose it.
