Our family enjoyed breathtaking views while staying in this corner unit. It was perfect for us. The furniture, sofa, bed, chairs, are clean and comfortable. We really enjoyed spotting sea turtles, seals, whales and more from the lanai. The owner was always available to answer any questions or offer recommendations. The staff at the condo were amazing and made us feel like ohana. It was sad to leave such a beautiful, welcoming place. We already look forward to returning. Mahalo for the memories!

We had a good stay at the condo. Most of our time at the condo was on the lanai, the inside of the condo was still decorated from the 70’s. Mirrors on the walls really need to go, a simple coat of paint would work wonders.
View of beach and ocean from lanai is great. Apartment could use a little tlc but is well furnished with updated appliances. Provided coolers and beach chairs come in handy. Beach was safe and secure. Neighborhood not the greatest, but easy travel to anywhere on island. Pool was out of service last part of our week.
This was a great comfortable place to stay. With the beach right there on two sides, nice bed and couches, fully equipped kitchen, what’s not to love. My daughter said on our last day, “I could stay here a month.” If we return to Hawaii next summer, and the plan is to do so, we hope to get the same place again.

Thank you Kae for taking the time to write your short and sweet review...We are very glad you enjoyed! We have put in a lot of effort to improve the condo and appreciate this being acknowledged by your review...mahalo !
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.

Thank you for the review but the Hawaiian princess is not a resort

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!”
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.
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.
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.
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
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!

Thank you for the review Mike! You’ll be happy to know we updated the unit with a brand new TV, King size bed & a couch along with numerous new kitchen items & fixtures. Your description of the view & ocean is spot on! I hope you’ll come back again.
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.

We enjoyed how the property was situated on the beach which was long enough for a nice walk. My daily swim was great and I even saw fish while doing so. The sunsets were lovely. Security was excellent. Grounds were kept up. We appreciated having a walk-in shower in the unit. We ate most all meals in the unit which we enjoyed but the stove and oven proved somewhat of a challenge as dials were worn.
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!

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

Yes the location and beach are ideal and perfect...So it was Unfortunate that our place was under poor management Temporarily . We can assure you that the issues you mentioned have been addressed. New furniture and a thorough reorganizing was done in the winter of 2025 by Us. Thank you for bringing our attention to the lack of proper maintenance. We hope Ice cube trays are sufficient for any future guests - Thank you for your review.
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.

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

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.

there are many sharp knives in the drawer, and the toaster oven has to be adjusted for toast
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
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!

Thank you for the review Amy! You’ll be happy to know we’ve updated the unit with a brand new TV, King size bed & a couch along with numerous new kitchen items & fixtures this past winter season. I hope you’ll come back again (& again & again…)
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.
