The condo is well-stocked, spotless, and the bed is SO COMFORTABLE. We loved hearing the waves and birds and watching the surf and beach activity. Snorkeling and boogie boarding was lots of fun. We did do some exploring and tourist activities around the island, but enjoyed our time close to the condo more. We loved hiking to Kaena Point and watching the whale action.

Kevin's condo was very nicely appointed and we very thankful for the cleaning supplies to be able to wash dishes or run the dishwasher. The condo matched the online pictures which were very helpful. This location was in a quiet area and we really enjoyed watching the local surfers ride the waves on a daily basis. This was the place to unplug and relax while watching the water. Our only suggestion would be for an additional smaller skillet and some extra bath towels be purchased to assist with cooking and to prevent from having to do laundry while on vacation.

The view from the lanai was amazing!

We are so happy we booked this condo. The lanai overlooking the surfing beach is wonderful. Such a beautiful view and so fun to watch the surfers ride the waves. We loved listening to the sound of the waves at night. The condo is right on the beach with no road between and it is nice to be able to just put on a bathing suit and walk to the beach. The unit itself has been recently remodeled and is lovely. It is very well equipped - had everything we needed and the welcome gift was a nice touch. The bed is very comfy. The wifi worked great and it was nice to have the cable TV to watch the superbowl. The pool is heated and really nice. Most of the people here come back year after year and know each other - they were very friendly and it was fun talking to them in the pool. There is an outdoor grill that we used one night. We found lots of fun things to do - hiking out to the tip to see the albatross and seals; hiking up to the pillbox; swimming in the ocean and relaxing on the lanai. Highly recommended and we hope to come back!

The studio is just perfect for two people. Comfortable bedding, big fluffy towels, extras of cooler, beach chairs and such to.use as needed. The place feels secire, safe, and quiet in the evenings other than the sounds of birds and the ocean.

Kevin was a wonderful host who recommended beaches and places to eat. He went out of his way to accommodate our needs. The unit was clean and secure. Wonderful location. When we make our way back to the island we know where we will stay.

What a terrific place to stay, we loved the condo. Having supper on the Lanai, watching the sun go down. Wonderfully appointed, and lots of thoughtful details by Kevin. Beach chairs, umbrella, boogie and surf board. The kitchen had everything we needed, and a great, quiet location that let us focus on relaxing. Kevin, thank you so much for an incredible stay, we will be back! Don & Alex.

This place was perfect for the two of us. We have been to Hawaii numerous times usually staying with family. This time we decided to get our own spot and that’s exactly what it felt like, Our own home. It had everything we needed. The upgrades were nice and the place was clean. Waking up to the sounds of the birds and crashing waves of Makaha Beach was amazing. It was an easy drive to get anywhere on the island. We love staying out of Waikiki and away from all the tourist and this is the perfect place to be away from it all. Great local food was just a short drive away. Anytime I emailed Kevin he immediately replied. He was a great host. We will definitely stay here again.

I have been to Makaha Shores many times over the years. Stayed in a few of the other units. This one, #305, was very nice. Mahalo

Kevin is a very attentive host and we had everything we needed. His place was exactly the perfect get away off the beaten path. Makala Beach is right outside the door with a beautiful view from the lenai. It was so relaxing to sit out there in the morning soaking up the ocean view and watching the ocean surf roll in to shore. Also, it’s away from the crazy busy touristy atmosphere but close enough to many fun tourist activities and beautiful golf courses. Highly recommend this place for a relaxing vacation.

Only issue we encountered was that it was hot during our stay and no A/C. I’m guessing it was unusually hot during our stay because locals we encountered even said it was hot. Other than it being hot everything was perfect for our stay!

Overall the place was cozy, clean, and had a nice view of the beach from the porch. My husband loves to surf, it was a good spot to do so and the surfboard they provided was in good shape. If you are looking for a peaceful place to relax without the crowds from the resort, this is perfect.

My sister and I had a lovely week in Hawaii. The condo is great, all renovated and clean. Kevin is a great host, super fast with replies. The place is well organized and he thinks about all the details. The welcome treats, the sunscreen, the coffee, the dishwashing liquid, spices, oil, etc. The beach equipment is the best!! Traveling from Canada we can't carry all that gear, it was so nice to have an umbrella, comfortable chairs, a cooler, boogie board, surfboard and snorkel gear! Or else, the beach at the end of the street was one of our favourites around. Or else, you have access to anywhere you want on the island within short to an hour drive and then you get to come home to a lovely beachfront condo and fall asleep listening to the sound of the waves! The neighbourhood is slightly rough but we feel totally safe at the apartment building, there's a security guard and everyone we met was kind! We would definitely stay there again and make new memories!! Thanks for everything Kevin!

The condo was just as advertised, clean and with an ocean view. I had a relaxing time with a nice ocean view ride up the coast. The blue tooth speaker was a nice touch. Everyone in the complex was friendly. I’d definitely recommend it.
