Perfect little home with amazing view!
Such a pretty and clean home with an incredible view and lots of amenities! The kitchen was fully stocked with plenty of cookware and seasoning. There were beach amenities too such as coolers, water shoes, towels, snorkels and boogie boards. The AC was SO nice.
This house accommodated 8ish comfortably but could have accommodated our 10 better if one of the air mattress didn’t deflate on us haha
The host was so kind and immediately brought us coffee filters when we couldn’t find them. Toilet paper rolls were the only thing we had an issue with. We had 3 in the house but couldn’t find more.
Overall super cute place and would stay again!
Thank you for the hospitality! 🌸🌺

Nice gated community. Home was very clean, view was great. Beautiful backyard. Only small complaint was no closet in master. It was locked. We were there for a wedding so we had other family staying in the neighborhood. It was great we could walk to each other’s homes.

Away from touristy Waikiki, Amazing Views, Beautiful Home
Family gathering to celebrate birthdays and a graduation. So much to love about this house.
The house is beautiful.
The outdoor space is breathtaking. The fruits, flowers, and views. At night the teens used the Bluetooth karaoke speaker for 3 hours. Every morning I woke up before dawn and sat outside to watch the sunrise and listen to the birds.
Inside there is AC in all rooms, the kitchen is open and fully stocked.
All the bedrooms we’re comfortable and have a great view of the beach.
The teens enjoyed the arcade games.
We used the beach chairs, boogie boards and snorkel gear too.
The location is where the locals live. It’s a nice gated community with friendly security guards 24/7.
The hosts were responsive and we got lucky because they added outdoor patio seating that everyone enjoyed. We spent most of our time outside on the lanai.
Definitely saving this listing to rent in the future.

Vacation
We truly enjoyed the stay at the property. It was clean and well stocked. the only drawback was the constant noise of building and construction everyday even on the weekend. The area is extremely beautiful, lush and green. The construction aside and when complete will make it a tranquil area to unwind. Would we stay there again and the answer is yes.

Clean, organized and well prepped property
We were very happy and comfortable at this property. Everything was neatly organized, clean, very easy to get to once getting into the gate, yard is very well maintained and clean. Has all of the appliances and accommodations you need for your stay. Was celebrating a few birthdays and was given a complimentary gift. Very easy to contact owner, very quick with response and provided solid information about the property and where guests can park if having a party of such. Was very satisfied with my stay.

Beautiful and peaceful location
We were celebrating a bday and wanted to get away from the city. This superseded our expectations. It was not what I was expecting based on the google maps image, but it was still very peaceful and the ocean/mountain views were out of a dream. Host was great. Kitchen had everything we needed (pots, rice cooker, coffee maker, baking pan, frying pan, knives, utensils, dishware). More than enough towels and bedding for our party of 10. Would stay again!

Makaha No Ka Oi
We had rented the house for my wife’s Bday to spend it w/family & friends. The house was new and clean with an awesome view of the Makaha coastline. The full house AC was great especially in the hot summer weather. The owners were very accommodating and added their own personal touch for my wife! Memorable stay!
