The “ Guest Unit” VRBO #507795 was recently upgraded and remodeled. Please review our photos. This unit is one of the most sought after and revisited vacation destination on Oahu's west side of the island The west side of Oahu is known as the dryer and sunnier side of the island. It is the Waianae Coast. The weather is less humid, less rainy, more sunshine and you can feel the tropical Hawaiian trade winds blow through the units. This weather difference results in some of the clearest cleanest waters on the island of Oahu. These clear blue waters provide an ideal backdrop for photography, sunbathing, beachcombing, snorkeling, diving, fishing, bodyboarding, surfing, kayaking, boating, hiking or simply relaxing on the lanai. Makaha is located approximately 40 minutes from the airport by car and 60 minutes west from the hustle and bustle of the state’s capital Honolulu, famous Waikiki Beach, Punchbowl Cemetery, and Diamond Head Crater. Most of the other major tourist attractions on Oahu are an easy day trip from the condos. Come and stay at the beach in this rural community of Makaha. Enjoy the "local" environment, the local residents, and experience some of the most beautiful, uncrowded sandy beaches on the island of Oahu. You can easily visit the famous Makaha International Surfing Beach in the next cove, North Shore's Pipeline and Sunset Beach. Pearl Harbor, or shopping and dining in any of the Resort areas. You can then return home to Makaha, enjoy the beach, swim in the pool, relax in the hot tub, or relax on your lanai to unwind watching the sunset as the fabulous day closes and you recharge for another great day in paradise.
This Condominium is one of only a few condominiums that are built right on the beach with the Pacific Ocean at your door step. Few areas in Hawaii can boast of such an secluded, white sand, crescent shaped beach with waters flat at times for snorkeling and surf at other times for "riding the waves". This beach is often referred to as "Oahu's Best Kept Secret" . Very few travelers even know of this beach and it is not seen from the main road. Both of our units "Guest Unit" VRBO #507795 and "Owner's Unit" VRBO #854197 face the ocean with 180 degree view of this white sandy beach, clear blue ocean and the historic Mauna Lahilahi. The fabulous views, spectacular sunsets, sounds of the waves and the close proximity to the beach makes this a perfect place to enjoy Hawaii's casual life style. Enjoy paradise, relax with the tropical trade winds, and play all day at the beach. Marine life is abundant in this cove known as "turtle cove". Daily sightings of turtles, dolphins, whales (in season), monk seals, schools of fish, and more can be seen from your private lanai. You might even see the turtles and seal lions on the beach being warmed by the sun. The one bedroom one bath units can accommodate 4 guests and adjoining both units together can accommodate 8. This combination of the "Guest Unit" VRBO 507795 and and the Owner's Unit" VRBO # 854197 has been very popular with couples traveling together or larger families requiring the extra space. The unit has everything that you will need with fully equipped kitchen, linens, and beach gear. We have tried to think of everything for your comfort. We have free internet in the unit, smart TV in living rooms and bedrooms, newly created desk area to accommodate electronics and office work, large front loading washers and dryers, upgraded mattresses in each bedroom and art works of local artists throughout the these two units. Repeat guests are a norm in our condos and guests have been returning here year after year which confirms this is truly a "special place".

The views are simply gorgeous day & night! The condo is spacious, spotless and has everything you’ll need for a perfect stay.The beach is clean and somewhat secluded .
Wonderful place, had the beach and pool almost to ourselves!! Private and relaxing! Loved the beach and the view is incredible! Thanks Gerry for a lovely time
We had a wonderful stay in this beach front condo. The views from the balcony were absolutely beautiful! The owner was wonderful to work with. The condo itself is up to date and comfortable. The west side of Oahu is less busy and we liked that too. The whole stay was a fun time!
What a great little condo right on the beach. Enjoy your coffee on the balcony overlooking the ocean and listen to the waves as you peacefully sleep at night. We were there for a family wedding so the location for us was perfect.
The condo and facilities were nice. The ocean can get rough at times which makes for interesting entertainment watching people try and battle it. Beautiful sunsets almost every night.
We had a fantastic time, the unit was comfortable and had everything we needed! So well outfitted, furniture was cozy, just perfect. We will be back! The Hawaiian Princess is a hidden gem and those that know...just know. Thanks Gerry!
This place is pure paradis as long as you dont leave. Traffice is aweful. We stayed for 14 days and had beautiful sunsets walks on the beach, swimming in the pool and snorkling steps from this great condo.our time here will be remembered forever.
The photos don't lie - this condo and beach are every bit as amazing as they look. We snorkelled with turtles, played pickle ball, swam in the pool, and spent hours enjoying the sun at the beach. The condo is nicely appointed and has everything you need to relax, cook a delicious meal or spend time outdoors.
The condo was the perfect vacation place for our little family. It is right on the beach for fun beach days but also had a pool when the ocean was too rough to swim in. We also enjoyed the on-site BBQ’s for cooking family dinners after long days out in the sun. The condo was well equipped, and the views were stunning. Gerry was so wonderful to deal with and was very accommodating. We miss it already and can’t wait to go back.

Much Needed Vacation
We loved our stay. The location is beautiful. You have to be prepared to at least 20 minutes for restaurants and yes there are homeless but they will not bother you.
If there is a larger group in the adjoining condo it can get kinda loud but luckily for us it was only one night.
Overallnit was beautiful and relaxing.
The ocean views are amazing. You fall asleep listening to the sound of the waves. We loved it and will stay here again. Just as pictured. Only comment would be the beds were not so great. The fold out couch is really not worth putting a friend or family member on. Aloha 🌺
The view of the ocean from not only the balcony but inside the room is amazing. You can cook breakfast and watch the waves roll in at the same time. The ocean is right there. The beach was well kept and pretty quiet, which was nice. There is not a lot of nice restaurants nearby but if you don’t mind cooking for yourself its not a problem. Also there are a couple of propane grills at ground level that well kept for you to use.
The condo unit has everything you need for a relaxing stay as close to the beach as possible. We checked in after midnight and the night guard was waiting for us at the door and made sure we were ok getting to our unit.
The local Tamura grocery/household store was a close drive for about anything you'd need.
The beach is incredibly beautiful. Big wave action some days. Never crowded and chairs, umbrella and beach towels are all in the unit. Well done!
As a fellow beach condo renter, I know there is not much you can do (besides contact every government official who represents you) about the neighborhood - but the homeless encampments from just past Ko’Olina to Makaha were appalling. I felt safe in the building and on the beach, but worrying about theft on my vacation should not be a priority.
Your condo had everything we needed and such an incredible view which we enjoyed throughout our stay. Enjoyed snorkeling and sunning.
We were looking for something away from the run of the mill touristy areas and we got it. We cooked each night as there aren’t many restaurants around and we were fine with that. They have local markets we could purchase all we needed. The view from the balcony was breath taking. The water being so close made for relaxing on the beach a daily event. The apartment has all you need for the beach including umbrellas and chairs. The times we needed to contact the owner, we received immediate response. Great stay overall!
Magnificent property in all aspects. Best VRBO we have ever experienced . We lived next door to this complex 50 years ago as newlyweds and this return to this paradise was fantastic. The owner is very accommodating to all the guest's needs but did not bother us at all. The unit is comfortable and well maintained, well decorated and is perfect for two people possibly 4. The beach and pool are fantastic. Hawaii sun is harsh but there is plenty of shady areas. Enjoyed this immensely complete with half century memories. Thank you
