Experience Authentic Hawaii on Oahu's West Side! 5 Minutes to the Beach!

ABOUT OUR CONDO: This is a beautiful 2 bedroom, 1 bath condo with vaulted ceilings and two separate lanais, a unique feature in the complex. Located on the third floor, the master bedroom lanai has a gorgeous view of the Makaha Valley mountain range, while the living room boasts a panoramic ocean view. Within the Makaha Valley Plantation complex, this rare combination of privacy, trade wind breezes and the scenic views through both lanais are unrivaled. It is nicely appointed with many comfort features including ceiling fans in all rooms and an air conditioner unit in the living room. Queen beds are comfy with shelved closets in each room. We offer cable TV, 400 mbps high speed internet, and free WiFi. We're located in a secluded, quiet area of the complex with no adjacent neighbors except the unit below. You are provided with a designated parking stall and also guest parking if you have two vehicles.

AMENITIES: Smart TV, Bose sound bar, 400 mbps internet with free WiFi, ceiling fans in all rooms, small library of books, 2 boogie boards, 3 sets of snorkel gear, beach chair and mats, living room window unit A/C, fully stocked kitchen, with coffee maker, microwave and rice cooker. We are always buying new things to keep the condo updated, especially the bed sheets and towels - we provide multiple sets, and they are replaced often. We are also meticulous about cleanliness-this is very important when renting a private home. We pay more for cleaning service to ensure that our condo will be well stocked and clean when you arrive. We are excited to be hosts and make every effort to meet our guests needs.

LOCATION: We are located in Makaha on the leeward side of the island on the Waianae coast. Makaha beach is renown for its surfing and snorkeling, but you will often feel like you have the beach to yourself there. The west side of the island is authentic Hawaii, where many locals actually live and play on Oahu. Turn right or left, there are beaches for miles that offer spectacular sunset views and a wide variety of activities depending on your interests. You can also hike in the mountains or ride a bike from our hale without driving at all. If you choose to drive, no part of the island is more than two hours away, and each area of Oahu has a unique feel that you need to experience to understand. Waianae, and specifically Makaha where the condo is located is the more arid and dry side of the island, typically much less windy and warmer than the north shore. We love it here, and we hope you will also.

Makaha Valley Plantation :
We are located less than a mile from Makaha Beach, in the Makaha Mountain range. Our condo is on the upper floor of a 3-story complex on 28 acres. The complex has 24/7 security that prioritizes the safety of the residents. The landscaping staff are talented and cordial, and they ensure that the landscaping is beautiful. There are peacocks, peahens, and chickens that freely roam the grounds. We have two swimming pool areas each with a large pool, and a hot tub, and both have child safe swimming pools also. There are bathrooms, and a cabana at each pool area. Communal barbecues are located near the cabanas and throughout the complex. There is a tennis court and basketball court on the property. A few units in the complex offer an ocean view -and ours is one of them. The island bus stops right in front of the guard shack (www.thebus.org) and will take you anywhere on the island. If you rent a car, which we recommend, you can park it in our reserved parking spot directly in front of our unit. Mahalo, and thank you for considering our condo for your next vacation destination!
The condo is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. A Smart TV comes with cable channels, and guests can stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a coffee maker, a rice cooker, and a ceiling fan.

Golden Girls

We are 4 widows from 4 different States that travel to Hawaii each winter for about 5 to 6 weeks. Love the Waianae area (dry side of Oahu) and its beaches. This location was excellent, we cooked all our meals, kitchen was well equipped and the floor to ceiling windows facing the ocean with the breeze was welcoming. The grounds were well maintained and felt like a mini zoo with the peacocks, chickens and cats. We will definitely come back to this property.

West side gem!

We really enjoyed our stay, and it was everything and more that we expected. The unit, complex grounds, laundry facility, and pool/bbq areas are very well kept, and clean. The security was also very helpful. Dont pass this one up!

Terrific Hosts and Stay

We stayed from April 20 to May 16 2022. Darrel and Julie were terrific hosts and in regular contact to make our stay the best possible. The property is ideal, 3rd floor and private. The ocean view is fantastic and better than the photo. Make sure you have a car. Be aware that free roaming roosters, chickens and peacocks on the property can be noisy.

Great Rental - Highly Recommend

Four of us stayed from January 27-February 28, 2022. The condo is super clean and updated. Very well supplied with everything you could ask for, felt like we were living at home. We travelled with a 9 month old, and Darrel & Julie were so accommodating in making sure we had a playpen and high chair. They provided great communication throughout our booking process. The beds were very comfortable with extra blankets if you needed. There was an air conditioner which we never used as we opened the living room and bedroom patio doors and the breeze would flow right through. The condo has a beautiful view of the plantation and the ocean. It is approximately a 1/2 hour walk to beach. There is also a very nice hiking trail close by that is away from traffic. The Bus stop is right outside the plantation. It is about 2 1/2 hours to Honolulu and 2 hours to airport on bus route #40. There was ample parking for our rental car just outside the condo and we had no problem with security. Must take your car registration, vehicle inspection paper and your driver’s license into the office. They will give you a paper which you must keep on your dash when on the property. There are two pool areas on the plantation. Each has a large pool, kiddie spray pool and hot tub. There were several books in the pool library as well as a nice selection of books in the condo! The laundry areas are very well equipped and very close to the condo. I think 8 washers and 8 dryers. There are many laundry buildings throughout the complex. There are grocery stores (Tamara’s and Waianae Store) in Waianae were very well equipped with reasonable prices. You may wish to stop at Costco or Walmart in Kapolei on your way but not needed as the local shopping will suffice. The 604 restaurant in Waianae was very good. There is a golf course within walking distance. $60 for green fees and cart. $30 for club rental. This is a plantation, you are sharing it with many peacocks, chickens, chicks, and roosters. Our grand-daughter loved them all. The roosters wake up early…or maybe don’t sleep so you might consider ear plugs. We plugged the floor fan in for white noise and it helped. Overall this was a great condo, friendly people and the location was beautiful. Surrounded by nature. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us.

Nice place.

There are a lot of trees around the property, views are so pretty: the sea, the mountains, green and shady landscape and lots of peacocks. We loved the beach nearby (Makaha). According to the reviews it can be crowded but there were mornings when there were just five people at the beach. We saw a few turtles, different kinds of fish and a monk seal there. The water is so much cleaner than the water at the famous Waikiki beach. Miss the place already.

Great property with sweeping ocean view

We stayed at Darrel and Julie’s place for 3 weeks and had a great stay. The place is spacious and was fully stocked for our long stay. The Makaha Valley complex is also very safe and close to the Makaha beach which we frequented every evening. We recommend Darrel and Julie’s place to anyone who wants to spend some quiet time on the west side ot the island!
