Gorgeous beach and scenery here with the beach tucked into a cove. It’s off the beaten path and soooo wonderful! The sound of waves all day, beautiful sunsets, warm water, etc!!!! The condo has everything you need and is in the best location! We spent our 40th anniversary here and it was fantastic!

If I ever return to Oahu I will want to stay here. It would be difficult to find a building closer to the water. Dave and Sheryl seemed to have thought of everything, The condo was clean, the view fantastic, everything in good working order, plenty of toiletries, towels, sheets and plenty of hooks all over to hang towels and clothes. We have never seen so many hooks in a condo, is was great!!!

This was a great stay. We loved the Lanai and drank coffee every morning watching the waves. The unit was stocked well for all your basic needs and items for the beach. The condo was clean and you felt very secure. The only issue is you are a long way from Honolulu and activities. The traffic moves smoothly but is heavy. We drove about an hour each way to do our activities. If you do t mind the drive or just looking for a place to relax on the beach or on the Lanai I would highly recommend it.

This was the 2nd time here but at a different unit begore. 501 is at the pool end and has no other building that can impair the view. We spent much of our time on the outside wrap-around deck . The unit came with everything one could want ...nothing was missed. Cannot say enough good things about it .

When we walked into your condo we knew that we were in a great place. First we felt we were very secure in your unit. Loved the idea that the door to our condo, was only able to enter by us with our code. GREAT job on putting that there. The unit had everything we could want. You had the kitchen so well supplied and other things you had for your guest, like chairs, and lots of books. All the rooms were decorated very nicely. But the most important thing was the view that we had, couldn't of asked for a better one! Was great that we could walk from our condo to beach in less than 2 minutes. The hardest decision we had to make was either pool or beach for the day. It was our most relaxing vacation in a long time, even tho we did do some site seeing, we loved just staying at your condo. We would definitely stay there again and would recommend it to our friends. There was only one problem we had and that was the faucet in the kitchen. It took us awhile to get the hot water to become hot, as it was to the right of the handle instead of the left side. We figured that out. I would recommend that you replace it as it was a little old. With all the security that the place had we felt very secure and safe. GREAT JOB.

This was an amazing location and unit. We did are amature maternity photoshoot over 3 nights and after posted our friends all though we hired a professional photographer. I told them it was all the beach and sunset that made the pictures look perfect! I also had about 5 people ask me for the vbro link to this unit after seeing all our pictures.

Everything about this condo was beautiful. The way the ocean breeze swept through was absolutely amazing. Never wanted to leave. Will definitely rent again

This condo was fully stocked with everything one would need to enjoy the beach or just relax. The resort is not in the best area of the island but once there the view from the unit is so beautiful. We really appreciate all the beach towels, chairs etc. Was able to relax when not sight seeing.

We have stayed in this building before and love it. This year decided to rent the end unit and it was wonderful. Feels so much more light and spacious. Perfect views, super clean, really nice owners!

Thank you Sheryl and Dave for sharing your perfect piece of paradise with us. Everything was exactly as pictured. In the week we where there we saw dolphins, sea turtles, whales and a monk seal basking in the sun on the beach. Have never seen this much wildlife in one visit before, was spectacular. Mahalo, Nicki

This corner condo is a great location. By opening the sliding doors you get great air flow and the the soothing sounds of the waves below. It's a bit of a drive to some other locations on the island, but you can't beat the quiet, private beach.

Everything about this stay was amazing. My husband and I lost our original location due to some tech glitches and then had to scramble to find a new place. From the very first moment of contact David and Sheryl were super helpful and kind. They never complained about my million and one questions both before and during our stay🤪. The condo itself was incredible, so super clean, which is a HUGE thing for me, and comfortable with everything you could possibly need. My husband and I spent the majority of our time out on the lanai, just watching the waves and the birds and the people hanging out on the beach. The parking lot, lobby and entry into the condo itself are super secure, which made us comfortable enough to sleep with ALL the sliders open (screen closed of course) every night. (I actually got so used to falling asleep to the sound of the waves that it took me a couple of nights back home to re-adjust.) The location was pretty awesome too. The condo is nestled in this little cove area along the leeward (west) side of the island. There are plenty of restaurants (we only ever ate at the small road side drive up type of places and had some of the best food we have ever eaten), and grocery/convenience stores to stock up. One place I absolutely recommend to EVERYONE who is staying on the west side is Mike’s Bake Shop, it’s only a few miles from the condo and he has some of the BEST bakery I have ever tasted. While knew a simple yeast roll with butter would be so delicious! If my husband and I are ever on Oahu again, we will absolutely try to book with David and Sheryl.

Fantastic sunset views every evening! My husband and I experienced such a relaxing week with amazing views just off the lanai. We saw dolphins and sea turtles while enjoying coffee. We even watched surfers on our last morning. We rented a car and had easy drives to several beautiful beach front locations, restaurants, Pearl Harbor, the Dole Plantation, and some great food truck lunch experiences. We especially enjoyed our evening at the Beach House by 604 Restaurant a couple of miles down the road with good food and a fantastic sunset view. The unit was well stocked with everything needed to make our stay enjoyable. Thank you Dave and Sheryl for allowing us the opportunity to spend time at your gorgeous spot on the ocean.

This condo is just what my family of four was looking for for our Oahu vacation! Local feel and away from the crowds of Honolulu. As others have mentioned, we had a few sea turtles swim by while having our morning coffee. We spent some days traveling elsewhere on the island, but always came back for the amazing sunsets! We also just enjoyed a few days here, just relaxing! All of the beach gear was appreciated. Dave and Sheryl were very accommodating and were quick to answer any questions. If we ever come back to Oahu, I’d definitely return to this condo. It was clean, had everything we needed, and amazing views! Thanks again!

This condo was wonderfully clean, stocked and had an amazing view. We saw sea turtles several times. The property managers were very accommodating and even allowed a later checkout because of our flight change. Would definitely recommend this location if you want to be out of the crowded locations.

This location was everything we had hoped it would be and more. Perfect for our little family of 4 and a nice 'home base' for activities enjoyed across the island. The location has a more local feel, which we actually appreciated. Secured parking and what feels like a private beach were both lovely. Kids appreciated the pool as well. I'd recommend this stay to anyone looking to experience Hawaii, while being away from the hustle and bustle. We look forward to the opportunity to stay here again. Thank you both!

It was AMAZING! The view was the BEST! We didn't want to leave that place. My 19 year old said this was his favorite family vacation of all time, and we've been on quite a few. The balcony was a plus!! We sat out there every morning drinking coffee and watching sea turtles. The water is SO clear!! My teenagers hike the hill next to the resort and snorkeled every day. We had a wonderful time and can't wait to get back!!!

The condo is beautiful and immaculately maintained with all the amenities a person could want. It is a peaceful place to stay away from busy city life. Traffic makes destination travel require some strategizing, but the drive is well worth it given the friendly atmosphere of the Waianae Coast and the calm and beautiful atmosphere of Turtle beach. The security guards and staff are all very kind. Management could communicate a tad better, but as a whole we found the environment of the Hawaiian Princess to be all we hoped it would be. The beach is clean and the waters beautiful and the building is well kept and looked after.

Such a great place. We had a wonderful stay. Enjoyed watching the sunsets on the balcony every evening. The apartment is well set up and situated for a relaxing holiday at the beach. Highly recommend this apartment.

Although I had been told that this was not a desirable area to stay, I will definitely stay there again and will definitely recommend this unit to everyone. The area was fine. No problems. Security is on their toes. A car followed behind another car and security was right there to be sure they were staying there. I felt very safe. The condo is BEAUTIFUL. It lacks for nothing. The views are stunning. The owners are very quick to communicate if you have any questions. We spent very little time there as we were with family but if the opportunity arises again, we would be back immediately. Thank you for a beautiful stay. The condo is spotless. We have owned nightly rentals in Park City, UT and we know how important it is to provide accurate information. These owners did not leave any disappointment to us. SINCERELY, Gary & Rhonda Block

The pictures are dead on! Our view was spectacular! Had everything we needed. All the small touches were most appreciated. Only downside was hardly any good restaurants on this side of the island. Drive to over side or Wakiki was at least an hour or more. But for the view, the beach and private beach.. worth every penny!!

We had a great stay. Our family of 4, including a 4 and 11 year old, loved the beach, pool, tennis courts and ping pong table. Everything you need is provided. If you’re looking for a place to stay on the beach and chill- this is it! If you want to sight see, it’s a bit of a drive from most attractions.

Owners were prompt in replying to questions, condo was clean and well appointed. Great beachfront location, we were able to see turtles swimming near the shore from condo balcony.

This condo on a relatively quiet beach is a great find. We used it as a launching off place for all our Oahu adventures And had a calm place to come home to. The sunsets are spectacular from the lanai. Great communication with the owners. Everything we needed for the beach is here. We would definitely stay here again

We loved our time here: the sound of crashing waves, the stars at night, the peacefulness - away from it all. The lanai directly overlooks the ocean. It was mesmerizing to watch the waves, as well as surfers, swimmers, and fishermen. We could hear and even see the ocean from the bedroom too. The beach is picture perfect, with good swimming and snorkeling when conditions are safe. The condo was well-equipped and comfortable. The owners responded right away when we had an issue with the shades, and the minor problem was quickly corrected. It was great to have the hot tub, the grill, the washer-dryer, and the two bathrooms. From this location, we drove up to Shark's Cove in about 1 hr, to Hanauma Bay in 1 1/4 - 2 hr depending on traffic, and to Electric Beach and Ko Olina in under 30 minutes. All in all, a wonderful stay! Mahalo, Dave and Cheryl, for your hospitality :-)

Two kids and two Adults. We stayed two night in Honolulu did our touristy things those nights. We did 5 nights in Waianae at Dave & Sheryl’s place. Very clean, great view, spent all of our time at the the beach didn’t leave once we checked in. We loved our stay. Dave & Sheryl got back to any questions we had very quickly. We asked for a late checkout and got a very late checkout as our flight didn’t leave till 9pm. If you come to Hawaii to relax on the beach this is the place for you. If you come to Hawaii to go out on the town every night probably not the best place to stay. Barbers point Area isn’t a far drive and it is a really nice area is has a Costco, Walmart, target, and a lot of little shops and things to do. PROS The area isn’t touristy at all Beach isn’t busy Beach is nice Grocery Stores near by Grills are in great shape During the day we had the AC off and all the doors and windows open and it was great. CONS Coming from Alaska we got hot at night in the bed room even with the AC on and the doors and windows closed.

First time to Oahu and what a find this was, the condo was furnished with everything you could possibly need! We had an amazing trip swimming, snorkeling every day on what seemed like a private beach! We will be back

This was a great place to stay. The size is perfect for a couple. The unit had everything we needed, including beach chairs and an umbrella. We loved having the washer and dryer in the unit. We loved waking up to the view and the sound of the surf. Every night we were there there we sat on the deck and enjoyed Oahu. I highly recommend this place to stay.
