Paradise Found – Family Friendly Beachfront Condo With all the Amenities of Home

Vacation of a lifetime awaits you at this hidden gem called Papaoneone Beach (or Turtle Beach) in Makaha, often called Oahu’s best kept secret beach. On the Leeward (West) side of Oahu, the most beautiful sunsets await you, each unique and mesmerizing. We may be biased, but it is truly the most beautiful beach on the island. This unique condominium building is literally built right on the beach. Imagine waking up and enjoying a cup of coffee on your lanai with sounds of the waves crashing on the beach below you. You may even see a turtle enjoying the early morning calm right below you, or a whale off in the distance. Crystal clear blue water, a white sandy secluded beach and palm trees welcome you. Watch the spectacular sunset each evening from your lanai.

Gentle trade winds sway the palm trees as you set off to explore this tranquil beach. Swimming, snorkeling, sunbathing, wave riding, building sandcastles, and long walks on the beach all await you steps from the condo. Making memories is what this beachfront unit is all about.

An easy 40-minute drive from Honolulu’s Daniel K. Inouye International Airport, the unit is located away from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki. Plenty of nearby hiking trails including Mauna Lahilahi bordering the property and Ka’ena Point State Park just a few miles up the highway. Convenient drive to the North Shore, Schofield Barracks, Honolulu, Waikiki, Pearl Harbor, Diamondhead, Punchbowl Crater, Honolulu Zoo, golf courses, deep sea fishing and everything else the island has to offer. Whatever your desire is on your vacation, you can accomplish them all from this location.

Our 1 bedroom/1 bath unit is on an upper floor of a 16-floor building, so rest assured that the views are spectacular. The property is gated with 24-hour security including 2 elevators. Each unit comes with a parking spot (free). Enjoy our amenities such as a saltwater seaside pool, hot tub, recreation room, ping pong table, community BBQ gas grills, tennis/pickleball courts (with no resort fee).

Recently updated unit with granite counters, stainless steel appliances, sleek tiled floors throughout and tons of custom soft-close storage cabinets. With a Queen bed, Queen-sized sofa sleeper, and Twin pillow rest airbed mattress, 4 people can sleep comfortably here. The unit comes with free Internet/WiFi/Cable (large wall-mounted smart TVs in living room and bedroom). Other in-unit amenities include: Large Front-Load Washer/Dryer, tub/shower combo, AC (but you will not need it due to the trade winds blowing through the unit), all linens, towels, hair dryer, binoculars, beach gear (towels, snorkel gear, chairs, umbrella, cooler, sandcastle building tools). This property is NON-SMOKING (violators will be fined $250 by building management) and pet free.

Our kitchen is fully stocked with everything that you will need to make homecooked meals (pots/pans, dishes, utensils, toaster, coffee maker, microwave, blender). Restaurants, Grocery and shopping nearby in Waianae and Kapolei.

In compliance with new laws this unit is required to advertise and rent for a minimum of 90 days. Please contact owners directly for availability and inquire regarding any discounts available.

Fantastic location
The place was very secure with key entry and a security guard at the front desk. The room was just as described. Beautifully remodeled, clean and it had EVERYTHING you need for a family to stay. The view will take your breath away. The beach was clean and ever crowed. I cant say enough about the beach!!! There were some homeless people way off to the right near the rocky area. We never saw or heard anything from them on the property. I would highly recommend this beach and room!! We didnt have any contact with the owner only because check in/out and our stay was Flawless.

Quiet, secluded location
Building well managed. Condo is exactly as described. One of the best we stayed at quality-wise. Air condition is efficient and quiet, bed very comfortable and kitchen very well equipped (although we did not care much for the plastic glassware). It is right on beach, almost in the ocean at high tide! As stated by other travelers, several homeless people in the area, often camping on the public beaches, some right by the building. As the condo is on the 12th floor, this did not disturb our stay in any way. As info, homeless folks are found everywhere on the island, not just on the west coast, so don’t let this affect your decision making. Building is gated and has 24/7 security. Ko Olino resort is just 20 minutes away. There you will find Paradise Cove which offers daily luaus. Not to be missed! There is also golf, as well as dining and shopping. Nice place to visit. And great condo to stay at!

View from the 12th floor is nothing short of SPECTACULAR! Beautiful lil apartment. We'd rather stay here than in Waikiki, to be honest. Great host, great apartment, great amenities.

ABSOLUTLEY WONDERFUL!!!
This place is absolutely amazing. The view is breathtaking. The sunsets were so beautiful, and the beach was quiet and not crowded, which is exactly what we were looking for on this vacation. The condo is so cute and feels like home. The pictures posted on this listing do not do enough justice for this property. Renee was very responsive and pleasant. I cannot imagine that I will stay anywhere else when I return to Hawaii. This place is definitely a 10!

Somewhat Isolated - Magnificent View
Overall impression is of staying on a third world country island as a very well-off person. Which I've done, having been stationed overseas Carribean, Central America and Pacific. The Apartment is small but very well appointed. the sound of the surf was wonderful all day and night, and constant wind refreshing. The owners were very nice, honest, accommodating, etc. I've stayed in Time Shares in Park City, but this is very, very nice. Materiel condition outstanding, appointments in good nick. Mostly like new. There only two of these buildings, both together facing the west. The view from the 12th floor balcony was grand. Parking was a minor struggle; is very cramped with small, narrow slots, rows close together. Security seemed okay with 24/7 guard and gated. The beach side was beautiful, yet open on each end. The south side of the point had 5 unhoused encampments, although the inhabitants didn't seem to bother anyone on the beach. No panhandling at least. If you are using this as a base for touring the rest of the island, expect to spend about 3.5 hours driving every day. Crave less touristy isolation? This is your place, on the lower socio-economic side of the island in Makaha. One warning, while materiel condition is outstanding, there may be pest of the six-legged variety in the kitchen. Remember though, the managers are in a never-ending struggle to keep them at bay. Just keep your foodstuffs in the fridge and clean up behind yourself.

Can't beat the view
About the condo itself --- Really nice, clean, comfortable, up to date unit, with all the amenities. The entire property is very well maintained, and very secure. The view is spectacular, and the beach is to die for. About a half mile long, most of the time the beach is either deserted or with a few people. The water is great for swimming and snorkeling, and we enjoyed turtle spotting on our daily swims. The area around the property is a mixed bag. This is the dry side of the island, so don't expect the lush, tropical environment associated with Hawaii. I appreciated that this was definitely more of a locals part of the island, rather than geared towards tourists. That said, it can also feel rather sketchy. There are a lot of homeless around - they never created any problems for us, but again, not what one thinks of when they think about a vacation in Hawaii. But I went running - 4-5 miles - every day, and felt totally safe running in the neighborhoods north of the property. I think this is a great deal all in all. We traveled to the North Shore, and to the southeast for things like snorkeling, paddle boarding, kayaking and scuba diving. While those areas were really beautiful, I think a unit of this quality, right on the water, with this view, would have cost 2-3 as much (at least) elsewhere on the island. I am very happy with our decision to stay here, and would definitely return.

The property was clean and well taken care of. The views of the ocean were great. The local neighborhood is declining with a large homeless population camped out on the beach next to the condo. Security to the building was good but I wouldn't wander off too far. The local police were busy throughout every night we were their.
