My husband and I stayed here for our 5 yr anniversary and we couldn't have been happier!!! Danny and Michelle were so kind and easy to talk with. They had wonderful recommendations for watching sunsets and awesome restaurants with local foods. This was my first time to Hawaii and they made us both feel right at home! We will be booking again with them in the future! I couldn't have asked for more!

Hands down. Best host ever. Daniel was fantastic and very helpful in getting to know the area. His surf lesson was very affordable and worth every penny. The area is not commercialized, so if you're looking to escape the city and want just a relaxing city to hang out in, then book here. The room has everything you need. A bed, AC unit, shower, toilet, and refrigerator/microwave. I would definitely stay here again if I visit Oahu.

Great Studio

The studio was nice, clean, and a perfect size for one or two people. Immediately felt like home and unko danny was kind, hospitable, and easy to get in touch with. for those not from the area, mākaha stay pretty far away from a lot of major conveniences and staying in the country does mean the occasional roach inside (canʻt necessarily be prevented) just so you are aware. the studio had everything i needed during my one week. it was a great value and i would stay again.

Real Hawaii

If we could give this studio 7 stars, we would! Anything it lacked in conveniences, Danny made up for in hospitality. From the time we landed he was in touch with directions, suggestions, and assistance. He was the perfect amount of helpful and respectful of our time and space. Every place he recommended seeing was amazing and every restaurant he suggested absolutely delicious.The studio itself was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The location was amazing. We were a short walk from a beautiful beach and loved being on the side of the island that kept us away from crowds and tourism. We felt like we got to see and enjoy “real Hawaii”. We would choose to stay here again and again. Thank you, Danny!

Very nice people

The hosts were very nice and helpful. Our studio apartment was very spacious and clean. The bed was extremely comfortable. It was nothing fancy but that was fine for us. The neighborhood was quiet and away from Honolulu (which is what we wanted). There was some rooster noise early in the mornings but with the air conditioning on, you couldn’t hear it. We were very pleased.

Although this was a very reasonable price, it was basically a room in the back of the landlord's garage. He was very congenial and willing to help, we felt a little confined.

The studio is located in North-West Oahu. This is the "Real Hawaii". We liked it very much. Because it is located an hour from the main airport, you will need to rent a car to stay in this part of Hawaii.

Great quite place to stay

We really enjoyed our stay here! The room was clean and had plenty of space for our luggage. They provided towels/beach towels and cooking suppies with a griddle. Danny made check in easy and was quick to reply whenever we needed anything. He even took us out surfing which was a great experience!.It is a little far from the big tour attractions so just plan on extra driving time with morning traffic. But the neighborhood is quite and only a 5 minute walk from a gorgeous beach.

Lovely Host and Hostess

The host and hostess were so lovely, and requests were greeted with helpfulness. The king-size bed was comfortable. The indoor shower wand was quickly hot and easy to adjust the temperature. We could have subsisted with just a Microwave. Though the electric frying pan exponentially increased our ability to prepare more-nourishing meals. This location is great if surfing, swimming and relaxing on the beach is your pleasure. It is near the best hike on the island at Ka'ena Point State Park. We were early to bed and early to rise during our January stay, as it was hot in the afternoon sun even then.

Okay

This is a quaint room close to the beach. Danny is a very knowledgeable host of places to go for food and surfing. The air conditioner was on, but room was not cool for a few hours after arrival. My husband and I did not personally feel comfortable staying here the whole time we booked because of the locking/entrance arrangements. Understandably, even after discussing the issues we had with the property, we were not refunded any amount of money. Overall, not a bad place. It may have been a better fit for others, just not for us on our honeymoon.
