The “ Guest Unit” VRBO #507795 was recently upgraded and remodeled. Please review our photos. This unit is one of the most sought after and revisited vacation destination on Oahu's west side of the island The west side of Oahu is known as the dryer and sunnier side of the island. It is the Waianae Coast. The weather is less humid, less rainy, more sunshine and you can feel the tropical Hawaiian trade winds blow through the units. This weather difference results in some of the clearest cleanest waters on the island of Oahu. These clear blue waters provide an ideal backdrop for photography, sunbathing, beachcombing, snorkeling, diving, fishing, bodyboarding, surfing, kayaking, boating, hiking or simply relaxing on the lanai. Makaha is located approximately 40 minutes from the airport by car and 60 minutes west from the hustle and bustle of the state’s capital Honolulu, famous Waikiki Beach, Punchbowl Cemetery, and Diamond Head Crater. Most of the other major tourist attractions on Oahu are an easy day trip from the condos. Come and stay at the beach in this rural community of Makaha. Enjoy the "local" environment, the local residents, and experience some of the most beautiful, uncrowded sandy beaches on the island of Oahu. You can easily visit the famous Makaha International Surfing Beach in the next cove, North Shore's Pipeline and Sunset Beach. Pearl Harbor, or shopping and dining in any of the Resort areas. You can then return home to Makaha, enjoy the beach, swim in the pool, relax in the hot tub, or relax on your lanai to unwind watching the sunset as the fabulous day closes and you recharge for another great day in paradise.

This Condominium is one of only a few condominiums that are built right on the beach with the Pacific Ocean at your door step. Few areas in Hawaii can boast of such an secluded, white sand, crescent shaped beach with waters flat at times for snorkeling and surf at other times for "riding the waves". This beach is often referred to as "Oahu's Best Kept Secret" . Very few travelers even know of this beach and it is not seen from the main road. Both of our units "Guest Unit" VRBO #507795 and "Owner's Unit" VRBO #854197 face the ocean with 180 degree view of this white sandy beach, clear blue ocean and the historic Mauna Lahilahi. The fabulous views, spectacular sunsets, sounds of the waves and the close proximity to the beach makes this a perfect place to enjoy Hawaii's casual life style. Enjoy paradise, relax with the tropical trade winds, and play all day at the beach. Marine life is abundant in this cove known as "turtle cove". Daily sightings of turtles, dolphins, whales (in season), monk seals, schools of fish, and more can be seen from your private lanai. You might even see the turtles and seal lions on the beach being warmed by the sun.
The one bedroom one bath units can accommodate 4 guests and adjoining both units together can accommodate 8. This combination of the "Guest Unit" VRBO 507795 and and the Owner's Unit" VRBO # 854197 has been very popular with couples traveling together or larger families requiring the extra space. The unit has everything that you will need with fully equipped kitchen, linens, and beach gear. We have tried to think of everything for your comfort. We have free internet in the unit, smart TV in living rooms and bedrooms, newly created desk area to accommodate electronics and office work, large front loading washers and dryers, upgraded mattresses in each bedroom and art works of local artists throughout the these two units. Repeat guests are a norm in our condos and guests have been returning here year after year which confirms this is truly a "special place".

Tranquility in western Oahu
We wanted to spend some time on Oahu but not in the bustle of Waikiki. This is certainly the spot for it. Right on the beach with far less people than Waikiki with swimming and snorkeling just off the beach. The next bay around has an area known as turtle rock and we frequently saw turtles in the water. You can do as little or as much as you want, either take a book to the beach and sit in the sun until the amazing sunset occurs or pack your walking shoes and drive the along the road until you can't and there are amazing walks. The drive along the coast is beautiful. Just two things, as the owner says, go to the supermarket before you check in. Also there is a connecting door which does increase the noise when there are people next door. If you want to escape the rat race, this is the place for you.

Magnificent property in all aspects. Best VRBO we have ever experienced . We lived next door to this complex 50 years ago as newlyweds and this return to this paradise was fantastic. The owner is very accommodating to all the guest's needs but did not bother us at all. The unit is comfortable and well maintained, well decorated and is perfect for two people possibly 4. The beach and pool are fantastic. Hawaii sun is harsh but there is plenty of shady areas. Enjoyed this immensely complete with half century memories. Thank you

Makaha Paradise
This property was out and away from town for sure. It was a great secluded location. This did make food options less convenient, but that didn’t affect our stay. We engaged with the locals and enjoyed their local food and traditions. The views from this condo are unlike any other. The incredible mountains on all three sides except the ocean view directly west. It is a breathtaking view. The ocean in the bay would crash against the rocks close by and provide the large splash waves you hear so much about. The difference is they are right outside your door. The condo was very well stocked with all essential items for our stay and to prepare meals conveniently. The entertainment options were good with local Spectrum cable in both the den and bedroom. Netflix was provided on the cable box but Hulu and other services were not. Gerry is VERY helpful and gives great advise on local places, traffic and other details. I highly recommend this condo for your next romantic getaway.

We loved our stay. The location is beautiful. You have to be prepared to at least 20 minutes for restaurants and yes there are homeless but they will not bother you. If there is a larger group in the adjoining condo it can get kinda loud but luckily for us it was only one night. Overallnit was beautiful and relaxing.

A Peaceful Paradise
My husband and I stayed at this property for 12 days for our honeymoon and it was incredible! Gerry is a wonderful host who was always quick to reply to our messages throughout our vacation! The condo sits on a BEAUTIFUL beach that is so quiet! It is really nice to get away from the business of the city. All touristy areas were about 45 minutes to an hour away so having a rental car is definitely a must! The condo was exceptionally clean and well stocked, and the views from the lanai can’t be beat! This condo has the best sunset view on the island, whether it be on the lanai or down at the beach! Overall it was the most perfect honeymoon and we will definitely be renting through Gerry again!

Mahalo (Thank you).
Gorgeous beach and condo. So close to the ocean it is almost unbeliveable. Beach is beautiful, and the area is very peaceful. Everyone were extremely helpful and all local residents were so kind, and helpful, and always smiling. Really a special experience. Definitely not an area where turists hang out. The condo was well stocked with everything from coffee filters to a hairdryer, beach chairs, snorkel and fins, basically whatever you need. Driving all over the island is pretty easy, just avoid rush hour to and from Honolulu. We drover all over the island, and loved the North Shore, and not to forget, driving on the H3 highway that is "mindblowingly" (if that is a word), beautiful. I recommend the Paradise Cove Luau in Ko Olina. It is s short drive and worth every penny. Also, the Lantern Restaurant, just a couple miles down the road, is an ourstanding place to eat. The entertainment on weekends is fantastic, and waiting staff is insanely" kind, and helpful. Mahalo, we really loved this special place, we just don;t know how we are ever going to fall asleep again without listening to the sound of the waves!

Beautiful beach/nice, well stocked condo
As a fellow beach condo renter, I know there is not much you can do (besides contact every government official who represents you) about the neighborhood - but the homeless encampments from just past Ko’Olina to Makaha were appalling. I felt safe in the building and on the beach, but worrying about theft on my vacation should not be a priority. Your condo had everything we needed and such an incredible view which we enjoyed throughout our stay. Enjoyed snorkeling and sunning.

Off the beaten path
We were looking for something away from the run of the mill touristy areas and we got it. We cooked each night as there aren’t many restaurants around and we were fine with that. They have local markets we could purchase all we needed. The view from the balcony was breath taking. The water being so close made for relaxing on the beach a daily event. The apartment has all you need for the beach including umbrellas and chairs. The times we needed to contact the owner, we received immediate response. Great stay overall!

The condo unit has everything you need for a relaxing stay as close to the beach as possible. We checked in after midnight and the night guard was waiting for us at the door and made sure we were ok getting to our unit. The local Tamura grocery/household store was a close drive for about anything you'd need. The beach is incredibly beautiful. Big wave action some days. Never crowded and chairs, umbrella and beach towels are all in the unit. Well done!

The view of the ocean from not only the balcony but inside the room is amazing. You can cook breakfast and watch the waves roll in at the same time. The ocean is right there. The beach was well kept and pretty quiet, which was nice. There is not a lot of nice restaurants nearby but if you don’t mind cooking for yourself its not a problem. Also there are a couple of propane grills at ground level that well kept for you to use.

First thing - the property was clean - esp. the bathroom - made a whole lot of difference! No insects or roaches - which was the case in other places we'd stayed in Oahu and Maui. Next, the kitchen - lots of pots, pans, cutlery, plates, etc. Next - communication: Gerry is prompt in responding and resolving the issues. We didn't meet him in person, but it wasn't necessary, he always responded :) About other positives, the Hawaiin Princess property felt very safe - all entry/exit are secured and require key. While there is a 24x7 security guard, during our stay, the area in general felt safe. The people we met at Grocery store (Tamura) and at restaurants nearby were friendly and welcoming. Yes, there are homeless people by the beach, etc., but they didn't bother us. They didn't wander into the beach area of the property either. Though the beach is open to public, it seemed private - only folks from the properties seemed to be using it. Only minor thing was the day-bed - wasn't comfortable, after emailing Gerry, discovered the airbed, which was way better. And, oh, the commute - since Makaha is on the West end of the island, and most of the places to visit are on the Windward side, you will be driving a lot - through school zone with speeds of 25mph, though the locals don't seem to follow it that stritcly :) Then again, it is Hawaii, so if you take it easy and relaxed, and you will enjoy the drive too. When we visit Oahu again, we will definitely stay here.

The photos don't lie - this condo and beach are every bit as amazing as they look. We snorkelled with turtles, played pickle ball, swam in the pool, and spent hours enjoying the sun at the beach. The condo is nicely appointed and has everything you need to relax, cook a delicious meal or spend time outdoors.
