The beach

Papaoneone Beach, directly in front of the condo

Aerial view of Papaoneone Beach curving along the Makaha shoreline, with the Hawaiian Princess building at the near end

Guests call it Papaoneone Beach; locals call it Turtle Beach. It's the wide stretch of sand directly in front of Hawaiian Princess — lovely on a calm summer morning, and genuinely rough once winter swells arrive. Because the beach is steep and has no protective reef, the shorebreak deserves real respect, so judge conditions fresh each day rather than assuming yesterday's calm water will repeat.

Read our full Papaoneone Beach guide — seasonal conditions, how the shorebreak works, turtles and monk seals, and when it is actually safe to swim.

Travelling with a bigger group? Hawaiian Home is our 3-bedroom house in a gated community a few minutes up the road — it sleeps 10 and has a fenced yard, garage and community fitness centre.

What our guests say

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.

· 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!

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.

Not reliably. Summer mornings (roughly May to September) are usually calm and good for swimming and snorkeling. Winter brings north and northwest swells that make the water rough and often unsafe. Papaoneone has no protective reef, so judge the conditions fresh each day rather than assuming yesterday's calm water will repeat.
