We really enjoyed our stay and the host was excellent. I gave a 4 on location as you drive past a large number of homeless encampments as you travel to the site. The security is excellent at the site which was much appreciated.

Best view in town

Went to Hawaii for the first time to celebrate my birthday with two of my best friends and we’re not disappointed! Condo was beautiful and clean! Owner is very thorough and knowledgeable, easy to work with! Be ready for a drive to get to the other end of the island but the view and beach access is worth it! Best birthday and vacation seeing the beauty of Hawaii!

Anniversary celebration

The place was very clean and welcoming. They had everything you need for the beach, chairs, umbrella, cooler, kids toys, etc…. Beautiful view from the patio door. Easy access to the beach. It is distant from some of the main attractions but if you like quiet and no traffic this is the place to stay

Best kept secret indeed!

What a lovely, well-kept unit in a quiet building on a private cove. The beach views were amazing and the beach was deserted most of the time. The bedroom is in the street side but the waves were plenty loud enough through the open bedroom and sliding doors. It was a fantastic place for us to use as a homebase while we explored the island. Later in the week we were in Waikiki since I was participating in the Pearl Harbor Day parade that weekend. We much preferred the quiet cove!

This place was incredible! The photos are spot on with the beauty and closeness of the beach! This place had everything we needed: cooler, beach chairs, beach towels, washer and dryer, hair dryer, iron, all the kitchen items needed to cook (we didn’t cook there though)! I do feel like the inside pictures don’t go the place justice though. The furniture is much nicer than it appears in the photos—high quality wicker items. I’ve already shared this place with many family members and friends! I’m so happy we chose not to stay in one of the busy tourist areas. The drive into the tourist areas (Pearl Harbor, Downtown Waikiki) was kind of a bummer, but the mountain scenery was beautiful. If you’re a hiker, my husband hiked/climbed the mountain right by the condo. We also went to a trail that was called Kaʻena Point Trail. It was mostly flat, so non-experts like me were able to utilize it. There is hardly any shade, so be aware of that beforehand. There is a gem of a restaurant only about six minutes away from the condo. It is on an Army base, but civilians are able to go to it. Some people online said you needed an ID to get in, but they did not check our IDs when we went. It’s called The Beach House by 604. Coquito’s nearby is also good. We loved their Tres Leches cake. The surrounding area (not the condo itself or on the street the condo was on) was a little sketchy when we went to Longs Drug Store around 8 PM one night, but no one approached us or anything like that.

Perfect stay on the west side

The place itself is stunning! The decor is beautiful and the bed is comfy. Just step outside and directly onto a private beach! Every amenity of home. Parking was simple and security was a bonus! Great if you are staying in amd looking to relax. We rented a car and drove around the island daily

This property is great especially if you just stay within the condo complex. Great food with 30-45 min drive. The beach was clean and never crowded. The condo itself was clean and well stocked with activities to do when not on the beach. Along with beach chairs, snorkel equipment, umbrella, and boogie boards.

Very nice condo with beautiful view

The condo was very nicely decorated and clean. There were plenty of beach towels and a cooler and some reusable ice blocks in the freezer making it easy to pack a lunch and head out to adventure in Oahu. We were about an hour from the eastshore and the north shores and close to electric beach and Ka'ena Point and nearby beaches.

Sunset, sand, beautiful crescent beach

The view from this condo is amazing with easy access to a beautiful beach and ocean made for swimming. The condo was clean and well equipped. The only downsides are the lack of good restaurants and multitude of homeless camps on the way to the condo. If you want to cook yourself, or eat fast-food, this place is great. We spent our days touring and ate out before returning to the condo for beach time and beautiful sunsets.

Away from it all..yes folks, you are on the beach@

True oceanfront! Well kept up condo complex with a security gate to enter. Very few people on this beach. Woderful for us. The view IS the ocean! This small complex is just that, a condo complex without the touristy stuff like lei making, open bars or restaurants on site. You feel like a local. Very nice! Only negative: lots of homeless camps along the Farrington Highway to get to it.

Just what we needed!

My family loved staying at this cute little updated unit at the Hawaiian Princess. Gerry made sure everything was perfect for us and made our stay very comfortable. We spent a lot of time on our private lanai and the beach due to many things still being shut down due to COVID. We cooked almost all our meals on the bbqs or in the kitchen and we had everything we needed. We want to return again and bring more family next time. Thank you again Gerry!

Great Beach and Great Owner

This property is on the west side of O'ahu, so less touristy and more local flavor. The property is in good shape and upkeep is good. The beach is great and was never crowded during our stay. The sun sets over the ocean here and is beautiful. We saw sea turtles and many fish. The owner is great to work with. Very helpful and responsive to questions and requests. The equipment closet is wonderful, with all the things you need for the beach, but didn't have room to pack! If we travel to O'ahu again, this will probably be our first choice if available.

Incredible ocean view

As in description, property was literally on the edge of the ocean with a sandy beach flanked by amazing lava cliffs. We were not prepared for the homeless camps adjacent to and on the beach along route. To be clear, we never felt threatened in any way and came to realize this is a scene across the two islands we visited and know that the owner has no control over the locations of camps. That said, would not hesitate to recommend and revisit property.

Family staycation

The place is okey, view is great. Beach is so accessible. Great place for the family. But the only thing is too much restriction on the place. You make a little bit noise even it is still too early, got busted. My kids using the pool, not even jumping they got yelled by the security. So we supposed to enjoy ourselves to get away from home but my kids cannot coz they are scared already thinking they gonna get busted again. So it’s too much restrictions around the place.

Absolutely Gorgeous view

This unit has a beautiful view right outside the door. Snorkeling was awesome. My husband and I were able to see sea turtles. When we arrived there, there was a note on the washer and dryer not to use it that someone was going to come by so we stayed out of the room for the day to repair. When we returned I tried to do laundry and the issue was not fixed a little inconvenient, considering I booked 7 days. we drove all over the island. Hawaii is so beautiful. Unfortunately there’s a large homeless community in this area. There is a security guard on duty at this location. I highly recommend the experience.
