Great View!

This has the best views and can hear the ocean all day and night long. The only thing that we experienced negatively was the place could really use a face lift. Outdated furnishings and decor as well as the AC unit gave out while there. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay!

Relaxation

The location of the resort was great, had a private feel. The condo was in need of a little TLC and updating but the 2 sided balcony made up for it! Would stay here again.

Our Happy Place

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Comfortable, great view! We were able to relax, listen to waves and watch amazing sunsets! Very quiet beach this time of year, children and adults playing and laughing, having a great time. This is definitely a “ Do it again!”

IDEAL LOCATION……but

the location was ideal and as expected. The issues we experienced included poorly maintained unit, non functioning permanent airconditioning (had temporary air conditioner in the bedroom),dishes and kitchenware was mismatched and very dated. The futon in the living area was not to be used. The cooking appliances were dated but operable and the ice machine in the fridge was not functionable. The location was ideal and perfect

Makaha Hawaiian Princess

We enjoyed our week-long vacation. The Hawaiian Princess' location on a quiet beach was just what we needed. Despite having just 1 bedroom, we were able to sleep 5 comfortably using a futon and sofa bed. We appreciated Ed's friendly tips on sights to see in the local area.

Peaceful and quiet

Even though our location was an hour away from most things, I wouldn’t trade it for anything. The peace and quiet and very few people was just what we were looking for. The view from the balcony was perfect. The snorkeling right out front was perfect and watching the sea turtles along the rock wall or swimming right by us was incredible! We will definitely stay here again with our family of 5 if we return.

Beachfront condo

Location to the beach and it’s views could not be beat! It is not as updated as some, but the price reflects that. Condo is well stocked with beach gear and most of what you need in the kitchen.

A Great Place to Stay

Overall, this is a great place to stay. The condo building is right on the ocean, so the moment you arrive you hear the waves and can't help but feel the aloha. The private lanai is spacious and looks up the beach. The town is almost as far away as you can get from all the tourists, and the beach only had a handful of people on it at its most crowded. What the neighborhood lacks in glamour, it makes up for in authenticity. The building and the unit leave a little bit to be desired in terms of lacking updates, but if that's not important to you, everything worked just fine. Aside from a large stain on the mattress, the unit was quite clean. The weather was so nice in January that we did not need to use the air conditioning. The owners were helpful and easy to communicate with, and check in/out went smoothly. If you want somewhere to get away from the crowds, listen to the waves, and sit on the lanai to watch the sunset, this is the place.

Beautiful view

This is on the beach with beautiful view and gorgeous sunsets. It has all you want for cooking, and going to the beach. The Beach House restaurant is on the water and food is good. Also an organic farm is a short ride for lunch. If your into golf there is one here but just coming out of bankruptcy and needs some work

Less than expected

We stayed in this unit 15 years ago and we were somewhat disappointed that it hadn’t been updated since then. It is a corner unit on the beach with a wonderful ocean view. The unit could use a more thorough cleaning but I realize if the owners haven’t been there regularly they would not now

Stunning views

I had read all of the info and reviews of the property, so I knew what to expect. The unit is older and could use some TLC, but still very comfy and had all we needed. We loved the bed, which was super comfortable! We cooked a number of meals and everything worked just fine. Looking forward to visiting again! Ed and Nohea were very helpful and easy to work with.

Relaxing and Beautiful

We loved our time in this unit. The wraparound lanai and spacious bedroom and living areas gave us unending sounds of ocean waves, allowing us to breathe deeper. The unit was well stocked with towels, sheets, as well as toiletries and detergents. The view from the 4th floor is lovely as you are at eye level with the palm trees and it's a short elevator ride too. We are really looking forward to coming back and staying here again. It was wonderful and exactly what we needed. Thank you!

Nothing like a corner unit at Hawaiian Princess

We have stayed at this condo building many times over 20 years. Quiet, swimmable beach with gorgeous views. This was our first time in this unit. Typically opt for higher floors but now have a new favorite floor (4th) - puts you right at height of the palm trees and above the beach but not too far up. This unit is comfortable and has both big indoor and outdoor tables to seat the family comfortably. Well equipped kitchen. Comfortable king bed. Beach chairs & sand toys. It is not an updated unit but has been kept well & was clean. Owner very responsive with questions & has a housekeeper that can meet you on arrival. Definitely recommend!

Missing the view from the lanai already

The Hawaiian Princess was a great place to stay and we enjoyed it thoroughly. The access to the beach and the amenities (gas BBQ grills, tennis courts) were just what we were looking for. Very secure and very safe and we felt that way the entire time we were here. The unit was exactly as described and we knew what to expect and had a great time. Plenty of chairs and umbrellas for the beach. The breezes through the multiple sliding doors in the unit were great. Temps did get a little warm during the day, but the A/C in the master bedroom was perfect to sleep at night. Loved it so much we did not want to go home and are already planning our next trip.

Nice condo

We have stayed in this building 6 times and we love it. We love staying away from the hustle and bustle. This was our first stay in a corner unit. The corners are well worth the money. This particular unit lacked in amenities. The knives in the kitchen barely cut your food and the toaster oven makes terrible toast. Being so far out there isn’t the luxury of going out to eat so be prepared to make all your own food, which we enjoy but having subpar kitchen amenities was annoying.

If R&R is your mission, this is the place to stay

We have visited the island multiple times in the past decade and always find that we return and love the Waianae region of Oahu. This condo's location is located on a beautiful beach. The views of the turquoise color waters and golden sand are mesmerizing, the sunsets cannot be beat. You can hear the surf clear into the bedroom, we slept so good during our stay. The condo is a well equipped end unit and was perfect for a few home cooked meals. The views from the living room onto the surf or side view back to the mountains are stunning. You will need a rental car here as this location is a minimum 45 min drive down the coast to the freeway and access points to anywhere on the island. The location is situated In rural Hawaii, and not a tourist destination. Be kind and respectful when vjsitjng

Beautiful beach, but Hawaiian Princess is getting very tired.

We love the beach here and the lack of tourists, but the property is getting very run down. And while most of the furnishings provided in the unit were adequate, the tv service was unacceptable. Certainly, we don't go to the beach to watch tv, but we had several days of storms plus a short illness, so were stuck inside more than usual. The tv service is Google tv and the slow wi-fi connection makes it impossible to watch anything for more than 2 minutes without it freezing to buffer and often just drifting away. It was highly annoying and very disappointing.

Great Stay!

My husband & I enjoyed our stay. This corner unit condo was clean, comfortable & had everything we could possibly need. The best part was the AMAZING oceanfront views!!! Even though it was hot when we visited (89* - 90*), the condo was comfortable considering all the screened doors and fans providing a cooling cross breeze. We only used the air conditioner in the bedroom once for a few hours. We found the beach to be very clean & often times we saw very few people there. We felt we had the beach to ourselves. The staff at the Hawaiian Princess were very friendly and helpful. The location was perfect for us since we wanted quiet & relaxation. The sights we wanted to visit were a reasonable driving distance. We will miss having our morning coffee & watching the sunsets on the lanai. Thank you Gail & Ed for sharing your comfortable condo with us! :-)

Great location but the unit is not worth the daily cost.

The appliances in this unit look to be original to the condo which is 40 years old. They are so old the letters/numbers on the stove and oven are worn off. Since there aren't many sit down restaurants available I cooked for the 12 nights were were there and it was not easy because the appliances are too old to work properly. Couldn't tell if I had the oven on 350 or 400. Food didn't cook properly. Not what I want when on vacation.

FILTHY!

We spoke with the owners and sent pictures of how extremely filthy the condo unit was. No response. I was there for 5 minutes and had taken off my shoes because that's what you do! My feet were BLACK! Fridge was gross, cabinets and drawers were full of garbage, and the toilet....ugh. We had a cockroach welcome us. You can judge for yourselves.

AIR IS ONLY IN BEDROOM

My husband and I have stayed at the Hawiian Princess before, in a different unit, and loved its location. We had similar expectations for this condo, and we were disappointed. The biggest issue was the air conditioning. It was not clear in the description that the only air was a temporary unit in the bedroom only. It is barely adequate for that space. The rest of the unit was unbearably hot, especially in the afternoon. Having the glass doors open and allowing the breeze to come into the living room area only helped marginally. It was honestly uncomfortable enough that we ended up staying only two nights, the first night we checked in and one other night, then renting a different condo in Honolulu. The second night we stayed we spent the day on the north shore and when we returned the temporary air unit vent had come undone while we were out and wasn't able to cool the room, so we had to wait a few hours for it to be a comfortable temperature. We contacted the owner to let them know we were unaware of the air situation and were told it was stated in the rental agreement (which is only sent after final payment, and for some reason wouldn't allow us to click the link) so there was nothing they could do. There were so many specific instructions with notes on light switches etc, making everything high maintenance. Also the unit was not cleaned well. The shower was very dirty. Overall, we were unhappy, but mostly felt misled by the description on VRBO.

BEWARE!

Think long and hard whether the risk of a discounted condo is worth the risk! We checked into this condo and immediately gave notice that we were going to check out the next day. Facts (with pictures as evidence): -The fold-out futon style twin bed has stains and is unsanitary. -The fold-out couch mattress is the thickness of a folded towel. Whoever says that it is comfortable is lying through their teeth, which makes me question all of the favorable reviews. -The owner did not warn us that the complex was replacing concrete hallway floors (jackhammer sounds all day) -There is a homeless encampment within 500 yards of the beach entrance. -Most cabinets were musty and moldy smelling. -The dishes were half-clean. -The floor had hair and other dirt on it. -The gauges on the stove are painted with nail polish. More facts regarding our horrid engagement with VRBO and the owner: -We contacted the owner, per VRBO policy, and he replied back with a picture of the thermostat, which we hadn’t complained about. -I called VRBO no fewer than four times during my vacation. -The owner only reimbursed us a portion, so we paid over a thousand dollars for one night I have told countless family and friends about this experience and have heard several similar horror stories. VRBO does not have our best interest in mind and they will definitely lose more money from our lost business than the amount that they profited in this situation.
