Best Kept Secret on Oahu !

This place was incredible! The photos are spot on with the beauty and closeness of the beach! This place had everything we needed: cooler, beach chairs, beach towels, washer and dryer, hair dryer, iron, all the kitchen items needed to cook (we didn’t cook there though)! I do feel like the inside pictures don’t go the place justice though. The furniture is much nicer than it appears in the photos—high quality wicker items. I’ve already shared this place with many family members and friends! I’m so happy we chose not to stay in one of the busy tourist areas. The drive into the tourist areas (Pearl Harbor, Downtown Waikiki) was kind of a bummer, but the mountain scenery was beautiful. If you’re a hiker, my husband hiked/climbed the mountain right by the condo. We also went to a trail that was called Kaʻena Point Trail. It was mostly flat, so non-experts like me were able to utilize it. There is hardly any shade, so be aware of that beforehand. There is a gem of a restaurant only about six minutes away from the condo. It is on an Army base, but civilians are able to go to it. Some people online said you needed an ID to get in, but they did not check our IDs when we went. It’s called The Beach House by 604. Coquito’s nearby is also good. We loved their Tres Leches cake. The surrounding area (not the condo itself or on the street the condo was on) was a little sketchy when we went to Longs Drug Store around 8 PM one night, but no one approached us or anything like that.

This property is great especially if you just stay within the condo complex. Great food with 30-45 min drive. The beach was clean and never crowded. The condo itself was clean and well stocked with activities to do when not on the beach. Along with beach chairs, snorkel equipment, umbrella, and boogie boards.

Everything was Great !! Thank you and Aloha !!

Great place liked the fact we had a beach in front of us

This condo was very well equipped with all our needs via kitchen, bath, laundry, games to play etc.

Amazing view!!!

We had an awesome vacation at Gerry’s beautiful condo. Right on the ocean…the sounds were beautiful. Everything we needed was so handy. Beach chairs, cooler, umbrella, washer and dryer,etc. Gerry was very kind and gracious when I had any questions! Was very pleased! Thank you!

Very nice condo, well equipped. Absolutely gorgeous view from the room. Perfect if you’re looking for a quite get-away.

Enjoyed our stay. Quiet. Nice beach with large waves and clear water. Some decent food options nearby. Served as a great home base to jump into many other things. Would stay there again. Thanks!

This place is beautiful! Right on the beach in a secured location with very few people around making for a very quiet location. The condo is perfect and the bed exceptionally comfortable. Only slightly down side is there are a lot of homeless camps in the town before you get to the condo but no one bothered us. It’s also a bit of a drive to any tourist areas but we loved the quiet, less populated location. Watching the sunset nightly was also a highlight. Very peacfeful. More than worth it!

Had a great time, will come again!

Truly magical. The view is breathtaking and it is West facing so you get some shade in the morning and a sunset over the ocean every night. The beach is never crowded and there was plenty of room to spread out and have your own space. The property itself is very well managed and maintained and has a pool and tennis court. The unit is a little out of the way on the West side of the island, so anticipate some driving. We spent half our time here and half in Waikiki and it made for a perfect contrast to the bustle of downtown Honolulu. Just because other reviews have mentioned it, there are some people camping/living on the beach in the surrounding areas but if you have ever lived in or spent any amount of time in a big city it is no big deal at all.

Could not have asked for a better place to spend our vacation. The owners were super easy to work with. Will definitely be back!

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.

What a lovely, well-kept unit in a quiet building on a private cove. The beach views were amazing and the beach was deserted most of the time. The bedroom is in the street side but the waves were plenty loud enough through the open bedroom and sliding doors. It was a fantastic place for us to use as a homebase while we explored the island. Later in the week we were in Waikiki since I was participating in the Pearl Harbor Day parade that weekend. We much preferred the quiet cove!

Good weather..good ocean and beach… Makaha best side of Oahu

Went to Hawaii for the first time to celebrate my birthday with two of my best friends and we’re not disappointed! Condo was beautiful and clean! Owner is very thorough and knowledgeable, easy to work with! Be ready for a drive to get to the other end of the island but the view and beach access is worth it! Best birthday and vacation seeing the beauty of Hawaii!

The place was very clean and welcoming. They had everything you need for the beach, chairs, umbrella, cooler, kids toys, etc…. Beautiful view from the patio door. Easy access to the beach. It is distant from some of the main attractions but if you like quiet and no traffic this is the place to stay

The location, the unit, the beach hit the spot for a getaway. No crowds, pleasant people, clean. We will be back.

Gerry is the most accomodating host that I’ve experienced. The place is simply awesome, we watch sunset everyday either from the beach or from the apartment. It has all things that you would need and you would definitely have a feel of living in someone’s home, not at a rental place. There are few supermarkets near by that make cooking so much easy. We were not disturbed or concerned by homeless people - it’s just a sad fact of Hawaii living conditions that make many not being able to afford houses.

Clean, well equipped condo. Stunning view and not many people. First time not staying in Honolulu or with a friend. For a quiet getaway, this place is perfect. Stop for groceries or necessities on the way.
