Discover the Best Kept Secret on Oahu!

Welcome to your ideal retreat at the Best Kept Secret on Oahu. If you're interested in staying at our Hawaiian Princess property, please don't hesitate to reach out even if it looks fully booked on our VRBO calendar. We manage two units and receive numerous inquiries daily, so availability can change quickly.

This particular unit, listed under VRBO #854197 as the "Owner's Unit," features remarkable upgrades, making it a standout choice for your vacation. Although new to the VRBO platform, this unit has a history of positive reviews from guests who have previously stayed in our other unit (VRBO #507795). As per local regulations, this rental requires a minimum stay of 30 days, so be sure to contact us directly for availability and potential discounts.

Both of our units are privately owned and personally managed by me. I handle all inquiries and reservations to provide you with an exceptional level of service during your stay. Should you have any questions not addressed in the description, feel free to ask.

Our beautifully remodeled 4th-floor units at the Hawaiian Princess offer an unforgettable experience in one of Oahu's most cherished areas, Makaha. Known for its arid climate and abundant sunshine, this region boasts some of the clearest waters on the island, perfect for photography, beach activities, snorkeling, diving, surfing, and more. An ideal escape just about 40 minutes from the airport and an hour west of the bustling city life of Honolulu, staying here allows you to enjoy both relaxation and adventure.

As you unwind in the local community of Makaha, prepare to discover pristine, uncrowded beaches and immerse yourself in the vibrant Hawaiian culture. Don't forget your camera to capture stunning moments at Makaha International Surfing Beach, historic surfing spots on the North Shore, and iconic attractions like Pearl Harbor. After exploring the lively scenes of Waikiki and Honolulu, return to your sanctuary where you can swim, relax on your lanai, and enjoy breathtaking sunsets over the Pacific Ocean.

The Hawaiian Princess is a rare gem nestled right on the beach, offering direct access to a stunning crescent-shaped stretch of white sand. Here, the water is often calm enough for snorkeling yet provides great surf conditions for the adventurous. This hidden paradise, often dubbed "Oahu's Best Kept Secret," remains largely undiscovered by tourists, ensuring a more intimate experience for visitors.

Your ocean-facing unit offers spectacular views of the beach, the azure sea, and Lahilahi Point. Enjoy the soothing sounds of the waves and the gentle trade winds that characterize the laid-back Hawaiian lifestyle. Marine life thrives in this local cove, affectionately known as "turtle cove," where you may spot turtles, dolphins, whales (seasonally), monk seals, and vibrant schools of fish from the comfort of your private lanai.

This recently updated 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom unit comfortably accommodates up to four guests and can be connected with our adjacent unit for larger parties or families needing extra space. Your home away from home comes fully equipped with a kitchen, linens, beach gear, and high-speed internet, along with smart TVs and a dedicated workspace for any remote tasks you need to tackle. With luxurious mattresses and beautiful artwork by local artists throughout, we’ve ensured that your stay encompasses every comfort.

Many of our guests find themselves returning year after year, solidifying the notion that this truly is a "special place." Come and experience why this corner of Waianae, Hawaii, is an unforgettable destination!

Summary: We really enjoyed our stay and the host was excellent. I gave a 4 on location as you drive past a large number of homeless encampments as you travel to the site. The security is excellent at the site which was much appreciated.
