We really enjoyed our 5 nights in this unit at the Hawaiian Princess. The unit was recently remodeled, has a lovely view, and is nicely outfitted. We saw humpback whales, sea turtles and exquisite sunsets every day. The beach that the balcony overlooks is a beautiful white sand. The unit has many "comforts" like beach towels, beach chairs, hats, and coolers to enhance your stay. The Makaha area, being away from the hustle of Honolulu, appears to attract a fair number of unsheltered. The Hawaiian Princess has excellent 24 hour security for guests and their cars. Local shopping is nearby and we loved the easy access to hikes and other beaches in the area. We especially enjoyed the Monk Seals and the Laysan Albatross at Ka'ena Point State Beach Park. Traffic in the area can be slow, but just take your time and enjoy your holiday!
