Vacation In Paradise At Makaha Area in a Legal NUC

Come to Paradise on Earth at the Hawaiian Princess located in the dry, sunny Makaha Area in West Oahu. The condo is on a secluded 1/3 mile pristine white sand beach overlooking the gorgeous Turtle Cove. Celebrate a special occasion, romantic getaway or just come to relax and dine on your own private Lanai and enjoy the relaxing ocean breeze with the spectacular 180 degree view of the Ocean and Sunset.

The Hawaiian Princess is located 45 minutes from the Honolulu International Airport and an hour from the frenzy and crowds in Honolulu and Waikiki. It is only a 20 minute drive to the City of Kapolei with many stores such as Costco, Kmart, Target, Wal-Mart, Ross, Safeway, Outback, Chili's, Starbucks, 16 Theatre Cinemas and the famous Paradise Cove Luau. The City of Waianae is minutes from your condo and offers 3 grocery stores, Long Drugs, many fast food and dining options. You can still enjoy the hustle and bustle of tourist activities with the additional benefit of a totally relaxing beachfront living atmosphere.

Come, swim, and play in the warm aqua blue waters of the Pacific Ocean, or sunbathe on the uncrowded, unspoiled beach. You can snorkel, boogie board, paddle board, fish, or just relax with a 'cold one' while you watch Sea Turtles, Spinner Dolphins and Humpback Whales (in-season), or people having fun in the waves from the beach or your lanai. Two of the best island 18 hole golf courses are minutes away at the Ko olina Resort and the Makaha Valley resort. The world famous Makaha surfing beach is less than a mile away and home to several International Surfing Competitions in the winter months. The Waianae harbor is about 5 minutes away and offers deep sea fishing excursions and swimming with the dolphins.

Great stay, great view!

The stay at the Hawaiian Princess at this condo was beautiful. Away from the bustle of the big city and close enough to shops and restaurants. A great spot. Plan to be back!

Holiday Get Away

We all really enjoyed our stay at the condo. Nice accommodation's, only reason I gave it four star's was the futon. Listing states 2 futon's, one is just the pad from a futon, the full futon felt like sleeping on springs. A mattress cover would really help improve this.

Everything was easy thanks to a lovely communicative host. I always enjoy staying in someone else's home where they make me feel like a wanted guest. Lovely amenities and thoughtful information. Clean and everything as promised. Thank you for having me!

Everything you could want in a home away from home!

Everything was clean and in good shape, lots of towels and everything you need for your stay provided. We really enjoyed the beach chairs and used them everyday to just sit on the beach. The beach is the best on Oahu in our opinion, never crowded and the surf is never too rough. The town is nice and cozy and has everything we needed with a few minute drive. Would definitely stay here again!

Lovely Stay

We had a great time at this property. For the price it can’t be beat. The view from the lanai is gorgeous and it’s literally right on the beach. We didn’t mind the extra drive when going out and about because we wouldn’t have had these luxuries in Honolulu. Highly recommend!

A corner of paradise!

The Hawaiian Princess is a true hidden gem in an area of Oahu that is not at all touristy. Mary's condo was great and we loved our stay! Also, she was incredibly kind and helpful. Thanks, Mary!

Beautiful Beachfront trip

Highlights of our trip were: 1. Beautiful beach and ocean right at the property 2. The owners were very conscientious in the one bedroom unit was perfect for us. 3. Private, clean, and safe property However, the Waienae towards Makaha West side of Oahu in recent years has turned even more depressing with the homeless encampments and constant sirens. If you’re looking for an affordable Hawaii getaway and don’t worry about that this is perfect. If you are searching for the magical Hawaiian Paradise, then spend more money and go somewhere else.

Beautifully well maintained condo.

Beautiful, clean and well maintained condo. The kitchen had everything we needed and more. The view off the Lanai was outstanding. The only thing not outstanding was the mattress in the bedroom and the couch mattress, other than that our stay was fantastic.

Great vacation spot. The condo had everything you needed. The views off the lanai was excellent. Mary was wonderful to work with for our first time in Hawaii. The drive sometimes going there was a little bad if I had to go through rush hour traffic l. Will be hoping to visit the condo again soon Thanks Karla & Ted

Just what we needed

The view was spectacular and just what we needed. The relaxed pace, the view and being rewarded by spotting whales and sea turtles made this a place to remember and to return when we next visit. Thanks to Mary for sharing her home and to Billy for his helpfulness. If you're in need of a place for relaxation, it doesn't get any better. Pasadena, CA

Breath taking view

Unbelievable view of the beach and ocean from the lanai. The sunsets were amazing and were the reason why we stayed on this side of the island. We saw sea turtles in the water every morning. The beach is not that crowded during the day since it's a little more of a locals area. Would recommend it!

Perfect quiet remote getaway

We had a lovely time overlooking the ocean. The moonrises were beautiful, as were the sunsets. The water was a little rough so we couldn't play in it much, but better swimmers enjoyed it a great deal. This condo was well appointed with all we needed. Mary and Neil were great to work with and very patient with our jet lagged brains. It was so nice to have a quiet retreat to come back to after spending time in Honolulu. Thank you for providing such a lovely place for us to enjoy our vacation.

Love It

Love everything about this place, condo is very well kept and has everything you could need. This is our second year in a row renting here and plan to come back for a third next year. The view and the beach are absolutely beautiful. Very quiet area to be away from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki and the city. Love sitting on the Lanai in the morning with my coffee and watching the turtles swimming by. Have met some great people staying out here and hope to run into them again next year! Great Place Thank you :)

Perfect Oahu Vacation!

My husband and I stayed here for a week in early December. This was our second time at Mary's condo (our first trip was in 2015). We absolutely loved our stay here! The condo is perfect for our needs, well appointed, comfortable, and quiet The location couldn't be better... right on a beautiful, secluded beach and away from all the tourists and crowds. Mary is wonderful! There was a small problem in the condo during our stay and Mary took care of everything in a very professional manner. We loved our stay here and didn't want to leave. We're already planning a return trip next year!
