BEACHFRONT PARADISE - DIRECT OCEAN VIEW - TENNIS, POOL, JACUZZI, A/C, W/D

Your own little corner of the world, on secluded Turtle Beach, with breathtaking bay, ocean, sandy beach, and surrounding mountains views! Escape the maddening crowds of Waikiki in a highly upgraded 13th floor condo!

Enjoy sunsets, oceanfront dining, stars, hiking, snorkeling, morning or moonlit walks on the beach, try paddle/boogie/surfboarding. Spacious & comfortable lanai offers prime view of amazing sunsets, moonsets, breaching whales, turtles, spinner dolphins and nights full of stars!

Our condo does not operate as transient quarters. As per Honolulu laws, we may only book one rental per 30 day period. Our calendar may not always be up to date and we recommend you contact us with your inquiries for better service and choice of dates.

THE SPACE
Tastefully renovated and designed for comfort! Enjoy top of the line refrigerator, cooktop, convection oven/microwave, dishwasher, washer/dryer.

Equipped with beach chairs, beach towels, coolers, umbrella, snorkel equip, boogie boards, canopy, beach tent, beach cart and free unassigned gated parking.

GUEST ACCESS
A gated secured property offers a pool, Jacuzzi, rec room with ping pong, gas grills in grassy picnic area, outdoor showers and more. General Manager available during the day with 24-hour on-site security.

INTERACTION WITH GUESTS:
Upon booking I will provide you with check-in instructions and information on the many attractions and sites in the area and throughout Oahu.

OTHER THINGS TO NOTE:
On your way you may stop in Kapolei for groceries, or right in Makaha at Tamura's, (100 year old market chain) just before the Princess, is where "locals" go for their food shopping. You'll find great locally prepared foods for take out, groceries and a good selection of wines, beers and spirits. The local population is very friendly and exude the true "Aloha Spirit" the islands are known for and sometimes missing in overcrowded Waikiki area. There are the usual commuter traffic issues as the local population heads to Honolulu for work and return home to Makaha at night, so plan your day trips accordingly.

Paradise on the west coast
What a beautiful place to spend our second honeymoon! Tess, thank you for graciously opening up your lovely home to us. We couldn’t find a more perfect place to stay on the west side. It was comfortable, tastefully decorated, and stocked with everything a person could need on a vacation - and more! From the breathtaking view of the ocean, to the hypnotic sound of the waves gently lapping on the shore right below the window, every moment is enjoyable and relaxing. The entire condo was recently redecorated. Everything is new, cheerful and spotless. I felt so relaxed and safe here, it will be hard to leave. Thank you Tess and Ashlee, for a wonderful, relaxing few days. I wish it had been longer. But we cherished every moment and have already sent the listing on to several friends and family members. Bless you both and Mahalo! Mary and Steve

Beautiful place in a beautiful location
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The condo was fully stocked on any kind of beach toy, chair, tent, etc. that you could imagine. There was even a cart with sand wheels which made getting stuff to and from the beach a breeze. The condo was beautifully decorated and very clean. It was also stocked with full sets of dishes, pots, pans and even casarole dishes! Tess thought of every detail! My only disappointment was that the porch swing in the pictures when we initially rented the place wasn't actually there when we arrived. We had been looking forward to watching the ocean from the porch swing. Still, we loved the place and found it perfect for our getaway.

Perfect! Don't overpack or overthink it, just do it!
If you crave peace and natural beauty, this is it! But if you need entitlement and a manicured world around you for miles, maybe keep looking.We drove out of the busy city craziness to the real people, and then this slice of heaven! We walked into the condo and it glowed with the sunset all around. Absolutely sparkled! Very roomy and comfortable with everything you could need. Loved this particular unit with the wrap-around lanai. Check-in was a breeze with the very funny (and knowledgeable) Wendell. The condo, the beach, the view...all spectacular! Snorkeled with turtles, octopus, eel, barracuda (WOW), and many many other beauties. The local people are very kind and generous. We loved watching their antics and skill at the beach, and how they congregate to celebrate family and community together all up and down their beautiful beaches. After a long winter for us, this was soothing to our souls! Tess was great to communicate with and beyond generous! Can't thank you enough, and hope to come back. Our only regret was not staying here for much, MUCH LONGER. We will continue "to live in a state of thankfulness." Mahalo indeed, Tess!!!

Wonderful apartment at the foot of a fabulous beach.
My wife, daughter and I spent 8 days in Tess' wonderful apartment, and had one of the greatest vacations any of us can remember. The apartment is about 40-45 minutes outside of Honolulu, so if you're one of those people who really wants to be at packed beaches, in the middle of the city, walking distance, etc, great, good for you, go to Waikiki. For those folks who like to make their own vacation experiences, this place is an absolute gem and I can't help but recommend it highly to anyone who's thinking of visiting Oahu. From the secluded beach (saw five turtles, one octopus and roughly a million fish while snorkeling) to the local restaurants, to the beautiful leeward coast drive, the joys of staying here were a highlight of the trip for my family. And the apartment is phenomenal - a wraparound balcony, wonderful kitchen setup, a closet so comprehensively stocked that we really could have just travelled with a toothbrush and a couple pairs of clothes. It's safe, clean and you could have a fantastic vacation if all you did was travel to the nearby beach and back. We found it served as a great staging point for our trips around the island as well, and had great fun going from place to place coming back to our beloved apartment. We received a lovely call from Tess making sure we were all taken care of, and I think that Wendell, one of the security staff, gave us one of the most entertaining/hilarious check-ins I have ever had staying away from home. We will fondly remember our time here at Tess' apartment, and my wife and I would both absolutely love to come back if the opportunity arises. My daughter loved it even more - she found out that there was a unit in the building for sale and she wanted to buy it. She's six.

Everything you need....including everything you didn't even think you needed!
The corner unit here really is the one to pick. The wrap-around lanai made a huge difference in managing the sandy boogie boards, wet shoes, etc. It also makes the view one unbroken panorama. It's easy to imagine you are the only people around when sitting out to watch the sunrise or sunset. The location is off the tourist track so be prepared to stock up on groceries and hang out and do NOTHING but sit on the beach and your lanai and soak up the sun and salty air. The condo is incredibly well-stocked and included everything we could possibly need. My kids loved it too and are hoping we can return soon. Mahalo and Merry Christmas!

We spent 8 great days (2 adults, 2 kids) at this very nice condo. The beach is untoppable and the sunsets from the lanai are absolutely stunning. The condo is equipped with everything we needed.

Beautiful place. This condo has everything you would ever need, beach toys, highchair, playpen, snorkeling. Towels and many chairs. The view was outstanding. Grocery store 5 min drive. Tess is very easy to get a hold off and prompt with answers. Beach waves were high the first week but swimmable the second. We travelled all over the island with our rental car. Don’t hesitate to book this place if you can. Thank you

Perfect Stay
This is the perfect location is you are looking for paradise. The condo is beautiful as pictured, the beach is just outside the door, the pool and whirlpool are immaculate. If you are planning lots of sightseeing and activities or looking for great nightlife this probably isn't the place for you as traffic can be a hassle and it can take a couple hours to get to the North shore or Windward side of the island. But Pearl Harbour is only 45 minutes away. There is a lovely grocery store close to the condo and lots of fast food restaurants. We felt very secure and never felt uncomfortable. Tess provided us with lots of great material and instructions before we left. This place is heaven on earth.

Nice condo, but not a great area
The condo was nice, plenty of supplies. Ocean view was amazing. Negatives were: the beach is not right in front of the condo, as shown, but not a far walk. Lots of people sleeping and living on the beaches. The town is nothing to brag about. You have to drive 20 miles to get somewhere "decent" and that may take you an hour due to traffic. I loved Kauai, but unfortunately will not return to Oahu due to this. Visiting "paradise" is not seeing people living in shacks made from pallets.

Stunning views! Away from crowds! Place we stayed had everything we needed!
The condo we stayed in was nothing short of spectacular! Comfortable. Breathtaking views! Stocked with anything we could need for our stay. Surfboards, boogie boards, snorkel gear, beach chairs, umbrellas, hats, tennis rackets, a large awning, beach towels and beach mats. The beach and bay we stayed at had all the entertainment we could want and most importantly, away from the crowds that seem to be on the rest of the island. To top it off, every night had a gorgeous Hawaiian sunset over the ocean! We'd definitely recommend it to friends and we'd stay here again if visiting Oahu in the future! Absolutely loved it! Memories for a lifetime! Thank you!

Very Relaxing perfect for families or couples
We enjoyed your beautiful condo July 15-25. The four of us fit very comfortably utilizing the couch and one of your fabulous fold out cushions (I have to buy some of these!!!) it was terrific because my son and daughter didn't want to sleep together! The beach is very different in the summer time than in the picture you show. There are lots of visible rocks and much less sand directly in front of the condo, however it wasn't a problem at all as the beach is huge and there was plenty of sand and very easy to swim and play in the surf. The beach was never busy almost like having your own private paradise. My 17 year old son climbed that mountain about 5-10 times a day he had a blast. I only got 1/4 up and my husband got 1/3 up and my daughter was smart enough to stay in the condo. The binoculars were used many times a day. I almost packed mine but didn't so I was really happy you had such a good pair. We watched turtles, my son climbing, frigate birds, coast guard I mean you can see everything with those binoculars. We couldn't believe how many stars we could see at night. It was also fun watching some of the local families night fishing. We really liked Wendell and all of the security people but Wendell was the best by far. The coffee pot did not work and someone came by but never returned with a new pot. It wasn't a problem I just boiled water in the kettle and poured it through it worked fine. Other than that I'd say it was a perfect get away and I would encourage anyone to choose this condo. In fact when we arrived we told Wendell which condo we were in and he said, "oh, that's a good one!!!" High praise. This is a terrific condo and beach for families with small children or honeymooner's or a family with older kids like us. Thanks again. The McLeans

Peace Beauty & Comfort
We enjoyed our stay at Tess's beautiful condo. She has everything you could need for your stay. I do mean everything. Get some groceries and you're set. Tess was great with communication and flexible. You could tell she really wants you to enjoy your stay and we did! Staff and security at the condo were very friendly and helpful. The view and sunsets are breathtaking! Water was amazing. I do want to prepare those who aren't familiar with this part of the island. We were prepared and informed to keep cars locked and valuables hidden. It is a small community and their are homeless people who you will see around the area. They keep to themselves, as was our experience. I didn't see them hanging on the beach or being a nuisance. The condo is gated and has security. We felt very safe. I would not let this affect my rating as this kind of stuff is everywhere, maybe just not as noticeable. So if you're looking for a BEAUTIFUL peaceful place, this is it. We also felt we were in a good location to access all areas of the island. Thank you Tess for sharing this amazing rental!

Recently we stayed at this amazing condo for the week . After visiting many islands...this is a must see . The beautiful property is located directly on the beach is a stunner . Pictures online do not do it justice it is much better than advertised . This condo is stocked with absolutely everything that you'll need for an amazing vacation. We honestly couldn't think of one way to improve our stay. Once you go to the grocery store there's no reason to leave ! Truly a piece of paradise .

Everything we hoped for and more.
We stayed at Tess's unit 501 in mid April and we give the highest recommendation possible! The Hawaiian Princess is located directly on a beautiful quiet beach in a quiet area of Oahu, away from the madness that Honolulu has become. When people talk about Hawaii as a paradise, this is what they mean. And Tess's lovely unit has been updated and upgraded with every convenience a visitor could want. There is a completely stocked and equipped kitchen which we used to cook several dinners. We also used the downstairs grills for one meal and they were also in top condition. And of course we ate those dinners on our completely private wrap around balcony while watching magnificent sunsets. Yes, paradise! It was like being at a 5 star restaurant with an oceanfront table, minus the $200. check! The condo was equipped with every piece of beach equipment and toys you could possibly want. chairs, towels, boggie boards, full snorkeling equipment, tennis rackets and balls, plus more. We could not have had a more comfortable relaxing week. Our only complaint is it went too quickly. Yes, paradise!

The vacation home and location I always dreamed of!
The view of the ocean from the condo is jaw dropping! With nearly the entire west wall being floor to ceiling glass, there is no shortage of view! With the Arcadia doors open, the sound of the crashing waves is nothing short of amazing!! The wrap around lanai is simply icing on the cake! The beautiful condo has every imaginable item needed to make your stay phenomenal. Besides being stocked with standard kitchen and standard home items, there are beach chairs, umbrellas and towels. There's snorkeling equipment to surf boards, or tennis racquets and ping pong paddles, to coolers, hats and water jugs to take to the beach - simply amazing! The condo has a beautiful pool and hot tub to enjoy as well, if having the ocean at a few steps away isn't enough. No words can really begin to express the overall beauty and relaxing feeling of this condo, you'd have to experience it first hand!

Beautiful unit in a beautiful spot
First things first - Tess was a pleasure to work with. She answered all of our questions and provided page after page of information about the area, beaches, and more. The unit itself is phenomenal. Pictures can't do it justice. Being on the corner creates a feeling of openness, especially when the sliding glass doors are open onto the wraparound balcony. The views are spectacular, and the location right on the beach can't be beat. There were never many people on the beach, and the atmosphere was peaceful and serene. The unit is stocked with everything you might need, from kitchen utensils to tons of beach stuff. I have three caveats. The first is that the location is beautiful but far from Honolulu and other tourist sites, so if you're planning to be running around everyday seeing and doing things, this isn't the right spot. The second is that the dryer is small, doesn't have a lot of oomph, and likes to wrap whatever is in there into a burrito, so start your end-of-stay laundry as early as you can -- we had sheets for two beds, four bath towels, and four beach towels, and even starting the night before and getting up at 7:00 we barely got everything dry in time. There's nothing wrong with it, you just need to be prepared for more drying time than with a full-sized dryer. And the last thing: this would be a terrible place to stay if the sound of crashing waves annoys you, but that's probably not the case if you're planning a Hawaiian vacation. Thanks, Tess!!

Quiet and relaxing
What a lovely place to stay in Oahu. The condo is furnished with everything you could need, beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards etc for fun at the beach. Plenty of lanai furniture, the kitchen is well stocked to cook meals, lots of towels, hair dryers etc. The beds and furniture are very comfortable. The beach is hardly used and wonderful for playing in the surf. We saw whales and turtles. Some locals come here to surf which was fun to watch. Would definitely recommend you choose this place for your Oahu vacation!
