Very relaxing time in very nice, thoughtfully appointed condo, perfect for a couple. Has a beautiful view and beach is great. Complex is nice with pool and hot tub and staff was friendly. The only downside was there is an incredibly large homeless camp starting in Waianae and basically ending on the south side of the resort. It is somewhat unsettling and some trails are unaccessible unless you want to walk through the camp areas.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Hanging out on the porch offers fabulous views of the bay, and makes it easy to spot wildlife. Recommend bringing binoculars.

This was perfect for getting away from the crowds like you would find at Waikiki beach. It is an hour drive from Honolulu and the North Shore, so a rental car is a must. Sunsets were gorgeous every night. The security that Hawaiian Princess has works quite well and feels safe for families. Can’t wait to come back. If local walking and shopping is your thing, this may not be for you. Waikiki has all the high end shopping but all the crowds too.

This property is wonderful! The views are absolutely spectacular. The condo was exactly as advertised. It had everything we needed and then some! The bed was very comfy…even the pull out couch was nice!
The host was great about communicating. The property is farther away from Honolulu/Waikiki but the drive offered amazing views.
The beach is gorgeous and very private, the pool and hot tub were perfect! I have nothing but good things to say about our stay!

This property was great. We stayed 7 nights for our Honeymoon. The owner was very nice to us. The unit had everything, but the best part was the balcony/patio right on the beach. Beautiful! Saw so many amazing turtles and a seal swam through our last full day. The sunsets were incredible!
The surrounding neighborhood is just okay, but we had no issues and the parking lot
was safe and secure. We loved our stay, and would definitely come back, maybe for anniversary. Thanks.

Just returned to Florida after spending 9 days @ The Hawaiian Princess Resorts. If you want to get away from the crowds and tourists, this is where you need to book. The views from the balcony were breathtaking as well as the ones when walking out the front door. Don't let the sketch areas you drive through deter you from staying here. The property is gated with plenty of parking. The unit appears to have been remodeled recently. Comes with everything you need in the kitchen as well as a washer/dryer in the unit. We will definitely stay here again when we decide to return.

The condo has an amazing view of the bay which is gerorgious. We loved to sit out there and watch the sea turtles. While the condado could use a good deep cleaning and there were a few issues with needed repairs, but the owners were right there to make sure everthing was to our liking. The area around the condo has a lot of homeless but we never felt unsafe. The beach is fantastic. Lots turtles and we even saw whales. If you want to just stay at the condo and relax this is the place for you. We throughly enjoyed our stay there. We had a friend who lives on Oahu come by for the day, she said this is her new favorite beach. I hope we can return there someday.

Amazing!
We truly enjoyed our stay. Pictures accurately represent the property - it is top notch. Beach and view were incredible. Wish we could have stayed longer! Yes, there are some homeless people in the area (as there are throughout the island) as some others have commented, however we never once felt unsafe or uncomfortable, so please do not let that be a deterrence from staying at this amazing property. We also enjoyed the grill, and other people staying in the building were all very pleasant - all return visitors. 4k TV w Netflix was nice as well! .Only suggestion would be to invest in a decent fry pan. If we had staying longer, I would have walked over to Long's Drugs and spent $20 on a fry pan and left it as a donation. Maybe next time... We will be back!!

Great Manager, location...meh.
First off, let me tell you about the owner/manager. She is nothing short of amazing at responding to inquiries and communicates very well. She was absolutely wonderful!
I read the reviews on the Hawaiian Princess and decided to book this as a result of those reviews. I wanted to give an honest review of this rental to ensure others know what/where they are renting. So here it goes...
If you are looking to rent a place that has amazing views and you don't plan to do much sightseeing, this is the place for you!The condo was clean, well furnished, and the view is to die for (seriously the best view of our vacation!) along with a private beach to enjoy. The surf can get a bit rough so just be aware of that. The condo was well stocked with plenty of towels, dishes, beach towels, beach chairs, boogie boards, and even a beach umbrella!
If you are looking for a resort feel and would like to sightsee on the island, this really would not be the place to stay. The neighborhood outside of the security gate is a bit run down and I would not venture out of the gate for anything unless we were in the car. There are not that many businesses in the area other than grocery stores and drug stores, and there are no decent restaurants that we encountered within 30 minutes of the property. (Assaggio in Kapolei was an AWESOME Italian restaurant we went to, about 30 minutes away.) Most of the attractions are pretty far away, Polynesian Cultural Center is 1.5 hours, Waikiki/Diamond Head an hour, North Shore an hour, and so on. The drive time really eats into the sightseeing time. We have friends that were stationed on the island a few years ago and when we told them where we staying, they were surprised because it is known as the "rougher" part of town. This was obvious as you will pass several "tent cities" as you drive up and down the coast within about 30 minutes of the condo. I guess at the end of the day we should have researched the location and drive times better before booking and we would have known this.
If I could give Kathy 10 stars as a host, I would The location would get 1 star, and the view off of the lanai would get 100! It was awesome, exactly as pictured!

Affordable beach front condo
The condo was just as listed, the neighborhood is not the best, there’s an abundance amount of homeless all over and they also sleep on the beach. The building staff is great, I made Xmas dinner and gave some to the guard on staff. I do recommend a deep cleaning and high dusting. Nonetheless, I love waking up to the sound of the waves, the roster not so much LOL. Thank you kathy!

I love this property. We've stayed here before and just love the place. Its away from all the confusion. We can relax and enjoy . I think its a shame what the Mayor has done. Some people just don't want those major hotels. plus we drop a lot of money in this town so I can't imagine why the people complain. We're hoping this gets worked out so we can come back again. Sounds like the Mayor is mingling with the big guys. MONEY !!!! Such a shame.

Gorgeous condo!
The view off the balcony is amazing! Waking up in the morning and eating on the patio was pure luxury. It's hard to find anything like this on the other parts of the island at this price. The beach feels private and it has good snorkeling with sea turtles! There are communal boogie boards and kayaks. This unit is really nicely updated. They also had beach chairs and snorkeling gear in the outside closet that we didn't see till the last day. The bed and pillows are super comfy!

Awesome view and clean
If you want to be away from all the hustle and bustle of Waikiki then this is your place. This is our 3rd stay at this facility and by far the best condo unit we have rented. We initially were set up for 902 but right before our stay Kathy contacted us that the lanai repairs were going to be done on this unit and would only have a very small opening and offered us 702 which we opted for and was not disappointed. Kathy was very quick to respond to any questions we had and the fact she let us know prior to our stay to allow us another unit was over and beyond and we definitely appreciated it. Yes you are far from the night life but Makaha does have many good restaurants to eat at but we enjoy cooking and loving the view. This unit was immaculate and the owners have purchased many new items that look as if they have barely been used. Thank you to the owners and thank you Kathy for the wonderful stay. John and Cindy

Beautiful beach front property
We had never been to this part of the island and couldn't have been more positively surprised! The condominium complex sits right on one of the most beautiful and private beaches we have ever experienced. Unit 902, where we stayed, is very well appointed with lovely island furniture, modernized and equipped kitchen (which is important to us as we like to cook), comfortable bed, and nicely decorated and up to date bathroom. Every morning we enjoyed coffee and breakfast on our balcony with nothing but spectacular ocean to gaze at. The beach and ocean here are perfect for swimming, reading, relaxing and the chairs and umbrella provided are such a nice touch. We are already making plans to return in 2019!
