A secured 16-story building (2 elevators) with pool, hot tub, tennis, outside BBQ area, Rec Room with ping pong table. This condo is on a low floor with absolutely stunning beach, ocean, and sunset views.
This is a one-bedroom/one-bath (shower/tub combo) condo. It has a lovely lanai with unparalleled 180º ocean/sunset view. Lanai sunshade.
Cal King bedroom and queen-size sleep sofa in living room. Fully furnished full-size kitchen with full-size appliances (fridge has icemaker) and all the necessities. We supply all dishes, pots 'n pans, silverware, toaster, regular drip coffeemaker (we furnish filters), microwave, and a blender for making those onolicious Hawaiian fruit smoothies. We also have a dishwasher, 2 TVs, ceiling fans, stand fans, washer/dryer, iron/board, all linens (including beach towels), hair dryer, beach chairs, mats, boogie boards, snorkeling equipment, beach umbrella, and cooler. The spices in the condo vary—some guests buy new and leave-so we never know exactly what is there—best to check first and then buy accordingly. We even provide binoculars for in-condo use--watch right from your lanai as the whales (in season), dolphins, and giant sea turtles put on a show.
THE PRINCESS IS A SMOKE-FREE/ANIMAL-FREE COMPLEX! Smoking is NOT ALLOWED in the units, on the lanais, in/at the corridors, elevators, pool, rec room, BBQ area, or in the lobby! Smoking is permitted ONLY in designated smoking area with umbrella table and chairs located well away from the building.

Makaha is on the NON-TOURISTY side of Oahu--very much "OLD" Hawaii--nothing new or fancy here! Our location is out on the beautiful Leeward Coast with its incredible beaches. This is NOT a touristy location, and it is about a 45-minute to an hour's drive, depending entirely on traffic, to Waikiki & Honolulu.
ALL MAJOR ATTRACTIONS ARE A LONG DRIVE FROM CONDOS.
ALL HAWAII BEACHES ARE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC; however, since there is not much public parking in the area, our beach is generally not crowded. The Princess has NO control over who uses this beach. There are homeless camps along the coast island wide, but not on our beach.
Hawaii has a large homeless population ALL OVER THE ISLAND including the beautiful Leeward Coast where our condos are located. Communities are doing all we can to help our neighborhoods, but we are without power. The homeless are a protected class in Hawaii.
Makaha has lots of fast food and ethnic restaurants (be sure to try BEACHHOUSE 604, a guest favorite where you can eat outside by the ocean--watch for the dolphins). Spicy House in Maili has wonderful Thai food, and it not too far from condo.
There is fine dining only 20 minutes away at Ko'Olina and Au'Lani Disney Hotel. Kapolei is about 20-25 minutes away, and has MANY great restaurants and really nice shopping. There is a water park in Kapolei. All drive times are subject to time of day and traffic of course.
World-famous Makaha Surfing Beach (home to international surfing competition) is just a very short hop down the coast from the condo.

10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2026
Our stay in April was (somewhat) impacted by a few days of rain...more than just the typical afternoon shower, this was day long storms. This meant we didn't get to take advantage of the wonderful beach right outside our unit. Instead, we spent time exploring the entire island of Oahu...which resulted in over 550 miles of driving! This is largely influenced by the location of the unit (Makaha) being pretty far removed from the major tourist attractions like Waikiki and North Shore. We knew this going in but be prepared for a lot of windshield time if the weather isn't beach worthy! The unit itself was fine and lived up to the expectations set out in the descriptions (including the A/C unit only for the bedroom). We had a couple of issues: the first night was very windy and, due to the inability to seal the windows, this created a "wind tunnel" effect in the bedroom which made it very difficult to sleep due to the noise. On our last day, the entire building lost power. Fortunately, the elevators were on backup generators so we didn't have to carry our luggage down the stairwell.Overall, the price is right for the location and, if you're willing to drive a little, then you can see the rest of the island with no problems.

The view was amazing! Room was clean and a wonderful breeze off the ocean.

I found no other condo on the island that was exactly on the beach. With the ocean direct view you could not get any closer than this. I've checked many locations once we got there to verify that I had made the right choice and oh yes we made the right choice. We saw little seals on the beach there were fish and turtles for snorkeling it's far out of town which makes it a lot more quiet. Which is great if you're not into all that commercialism.
6 / 10Average·Dec 2023
Beach and view fantastic. Snorkeling right off shore and good boogie board and wave jumping when surf was up. Condo had all beach items and bbq area was clean and good location with picnic type setting. Owner was very receptive to questions.
Now for the flipside that is mostly related to the miles of beach encampment. We knew there would be homeless but miles and miles on beautiful beaches made any return a nogo. There were numerous encampments within shouting distance of our lanai. The local town , for the most part has nothing to offer except a friendly local grocery with good selection and prices. The condo owner cant be faulted for the political nightmare in west oahu, it is a sad situation. Security was good at the condo, which was a plus but the local town is overrun with homeless.
A few suggestions for the owner that they can control- upgrade linens and towels, bar height lanai furniture to see over rail.. .very beautiful beach and sunsets. Overall stocking of condo was good and the owner wa very receptive. So much potential for the nearby area but no one will invest any $$$ until the homeless situation is taken care of.
