What our guests say

Michael
Bullhead City, Arizona
· Stayed a few nights

The condo was quiet and peaceful with a minimum number of people on the beach. It was a bit farther than I am used to from Costco and Walmart and all the restaurants in that area, but it is definitely a quieter, more serene setting. The building and the condo were both well maintained and clean. The kitchen was well stocked with everything I needed to fix our meals.

Gary

· Stayed about a week

We booked an 8 day stay and didn't want to leave. The location and amenities were exactly what we were looking for. Beautiful views, friendly staff and the most relaxing vacation we have ever had. This location provided us with beach gear which made the experience so much better and a fully functioning kitchen. We have visited Hawaii 6 times and this is the first time we agreed that we want to come back to this location. Thank you Fred for the wonderful stay.

Eric
New Orleans, Louisiana
· Stayed with kids

Stay here! The most beautiful, quaint place you'll ever want to stay. Such incredible views and great for a romantic getaway (not us) and for families with kids (us). Fred was super amazing and responsive. A true paradise!

Casey
Redmond, Oregon

Awesome place right on the beach! Has everything thing you need to live in paradise will be back.

Zane
Boise, Idaho
· Stayed a few nights

Loved the beach. I could sit and listen all day. Fun watching the surfers out around the break. Large waves when we were there.

Jarrod
St. Louis, Missouri
· Stayed a few nights

Great location to get away from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki or Honolulu. Beautiful sunsets. Would recommend for a quiet getaway.

Danson
Reno, Nevada
· Stayed a few nights

Fred was an amazing host! The venue was very clean with a great view! He gave amazing descriptions, instructions, and great activities to do!

Sarah
Emporia, Kansas
· Stayed a few nights

We had the absolute best time at Fred's. The location and sunsets and proximity to the beach were the best we've had on the island. The chairs and cooler and beach toys were an added plus. We felt right at home and comfortable the second we got there.

Jared
Arlington, Texas
· Stayed a few nights

We loved the Airbnb and how it was literally on the beach. There were plenty of amenities to go down to the beach like chairs and umbrella a cooler. We felt right at home and would love to stay here again.

Cynthia
Grand Rapids, Michigan
· Stayed about a week

What a wonderful week! From morning coffee on the balcony to falling asleep listening to the waves on the beach, truly an unforgettable experience.

Alexander
Silverdale, Washington
· Stayed a few nights

Beautiful secluded and private beach! This property is at the Hawaiian Princess Resort on a private beach that is about a mile long. Friendly and helpful staff at the resort. This apartment comes with everything you can think of and more. We would definitely stay here again. The property is about 45 minutes from HNL airport without traffic.

Millie
Wellington, New Zealand
· Stayed a few nights

Fred was an excellent and responsive host and his place right on the beach is a sight to behold! The AC and fans worked great, the bed was extremely comfortable. The apartment had a washer and dryer which was so useful. It was clean and comfortable and the building is safe and friendly. It's easy to find and I couldn't recommend it more highly. Thank you again Fred for a wonderful stay!

Mitch
Farmington Hills, Michigan
· Stayed a few nights

Absolutely beautiful oceanfront location, and better than we expected! Bed was comfy, linens were very clean and pretty, bathroom was clean and neat. Fred was very helpful. The only problem was that our time there was too short at 3 days.

Peter
Honolulu, Hawaii
· Stayed a few nights

We really enjoyed our stay at the Hawaiian Princess. Fred's unit was very comfortable, clean and equipped with everything you'll need. The westside of Oahu doesn't have all the restaurants, bars and activities Waikiki or the North Shore has, but it's a hidden gem if you enjoy beautiful empty beaches.

Libby
Owasso, Oklahoma
· Stayed about a week

Fred was extremely helpful and gave clear instructions. The condo was perfect! We were right on the beach. We saw turtles and a seal lounging on the beach! We would definitely go back!

Samantha
Orlando, Florida
· Stayed a few nights

Our favorite part of the rental was the beautiful ocean view from the balcony. It was also steps away from sitting on the beach, swimming or watching the sunset! The condo had everything we needed.

Susan
Calabasas, California
· Stayed a few nights

The view from the patio is unbelievable. It's essentially a private beach. The place is small but perfect for a couple. Beach gear and snorkel equipment was right there and you can snorkel in the cove the condo overlooks. We would definitely go back. The host was a gem also.

Kathy
Pāhoa, Hawaii
· Stayed a few nights

Fred's place was an absolute slice of paradise on the west side of Oahu. Very responsive host, check in was easy, exactly as described and more! Everything seemed so thoughtfully provided for guests. Thank you for the home away from home. We are grateful! Mahalo!
