Ocean & Mountain View Studio in a Resort-Like Complex. Makaha Valley, West Oahu

When we arrived at the security gate we were informed that we didn't meet the condo owners association's occupancy rules. Reason: my wife's name had not been submitted by owner. We weren't allowed on premises until the condo manager was contacted and a temporary approval was given. We had to report to condo office the following morning to fill out extra paperwork, prepay for parking and additional parking security deposit (these fees had to be made in cash not debit or credit card). surprised arriving to shoes on landing, TV on and dishes in the sink. The drapes were either missing or could not be drawn. We are in our 60's and just adjusted to the situation. It would have been nice to have had a welcome note from owner, as the fridge and freezer had a lot of jars of condiments along with bags of vegetables, some wilted, etc. Recomened if these are not the owners items (if owners occupys unit occasionally) that at least the fridge is cleaned out between guests. I would suggest that the over range microwave be removed and replaced with a venthood with light, as the light at the range and kitchenette is poor. Overall, aside from that listed above, we enjoyed our stay. The location and views were hard to beat.

We had a beautiful stay in Makaha! The apartment was the perfect size for me and my two friends and it had everything we needed! The apartment complex is well organized, clean and safe and had a super pretty beach in walking distance as well as a bus stop, parking and laundry machines. The check-in was super easy and the chat with Nainoa was nice and helpful! Mahalo!

A wonderful condo, complete with kitchen, a lanai with an amazing view, and located close to the beach. It was clean, well stocked, and we loved our stay here!

The building grounds were spectacular. The peacocks were an I expected pleasure to see and experience. The pool was top notch. Mahalo

Had everything we need there ?. Will be staying there again the future.

The place was located at a very peaceful and quiet location, room was adequate enough for my family and the host was quick to reply to attend to our needs! Also you can’t beat the price!

One of the major highlights of our stay at this property was the exceptional hospitality Nainoa offered our family. From the moment I sent a message inquiring about the property prior to booking, right through to the moment of this review, Nainoa was one of the most kind, thoughtful and friendly hosts I’ve ever had the pleasure of connecting with via text. I had a few concerns based on the first review of Nainoa’s property, but Nainoa was very genuine and comprehensive in his response to me and assured me that his space had been thoroughly cleaned, and well equipped with essentials to make our stay comfortable. While the beds could not be folded up, they were indeed very comfortable and we loved the soft sheets and pillows provided. There was also an abundant amount of bath and beach towels, which were just perfect for our nearby beach outings. Overall the property is quite dated as other reviewers have noted, with furnishings showing their age, as well as the cosmetics of the kitchen. The floor was also really quite sandy and dusty when we arrived and while we found a broom to use in the closet, I imagine that even a small, portable vacuum could be really handy for longer term stays. I’d also kindly suggest adding more dishes and utensils. However, as our family was staying for just a couple of days, we truly found that it really had all that we needed to feel comfortable and Nainoa’s kindness made practical just perfect ?

Condo worked perfect as a homebase. We basically ate out all the time and stayed at the beach most of the time the sun was out. Met so many fantastic neighbors. We would definitely stay here again.

Overal stay was pleasant. We had a very nice view from the balcony, used the bbq area on several occasions, which was great and kids enjoyed the swimming pool, which was a great evening addition to the beautiful beach. The host was quick with responses and helpful. The only negative for my family was that the room was not so clean and needs updating. Also, there was no washing card. We ended up buying it from the office and paying just to much for one wash.

Had a great stay! Studio is in a beautiful and safe location. The mountains that come up to the back of the property are breathtaking. We even saw wild goats of some kind. The peacocks around the property are beautiful, although they do make some noise in the mornings. The studio was clean and had everything we needed for a short stay with my husband and oldest child. We didn’t spend much time inside, but the beach towels that were left for our use were helpful on our day excursions. Thank you for the stay!
