About this house rental

30 DAY MINIMUM RENTAL

Private oceanfront house located on Oahu's West (Waianae) Coast near Makaha Surfing Beach. Enjoy the deep-blue ocean and great sunsets from the lanai and large grass lawn. Nap to the sound of the waves. The property fronts coral reefs and is five houses to a sandy cove where green turtles come to shore and bask in the sand.

This estate consists of a 1400 sq. ft vacation rental - 3BR 2BA on the second level (main house) and the caretaker lives in the downstairs apartment (separate entrance).

The 1400 sq. ft vacation rental is upstairs and consists of three bedrooms, two full baths, and is great for two families. Has a well stocked kitchen, living room, and is fully-furnished with 100% cotton sheets, towels, and beach towels. Comfortably sleeps up to 10. Three king size beds-one in each bedroom, two full size sofa beds with 3" memory foam toppers in the family room. We also have 2 pack-n-plays. New porcelain tile floors were installed in September 2018, new living room, dining room, and family room furniture in Nov 2016. New Bosch dishwasher installed in March 2019.

The caretaker lives in the downstairs apartment (separate entrance).

There is high speed internet access for your laptop/tablet/phone throughout, and cell phone reception is good.

Out of respect for my neighbors, I do not allow large functions, parties, or weddings. Only registered guests may stay at the property.

The beach cove (2 minute walk away) is one of the few places were sea turtles frequent most days, you can snorkel with them and tropical fish like Humu'humu'nuku'nuku'apua'a

Makaha is on the west coast of Oahu about 20 min past Ko-Olina and the Disney Aulani resort. The road ends five miles further up at beautiful Yokohama Beach. The west side (Waianae Coast) is a slice of local culture, a great place to go slow and enjoy the beauty. The house sits two blocks from the main road in a quiet neighborhood, with an automatic gate and lots of parking. Restaurants and shopping are three miles away in the town of Waianae (why-an-eye). It is about 45 minutes from the Honolulu Airport and an hour from Waikiki.

This is a non-smoking house, but outside and on the lanai is fine.

Wonderful property for relaxing with large group. Everywhere was within reasonable driving distance. The small beach down the street was perfect and less than a mile is a nice large, quiet beach with guards. The property is secure and quiet with gorgeous views! The communication with the owner was above par - appreciated the conversations.

We loved the views from the windows and the deck. Saw dolphins, sea turtles, and crabs. We had everything that we needed for a memorable happy stay .

We had 8 adults in our group. We were celebrating birthdays and anniversaries. We wanted to be on the water and this did not disappoint. We spent every minute we could out on the house deck or out on the deck by the water. There were sea turtles that came every morning to swim around in the water just over the wall. We walked to Aki’s cove several times and saw turtles there as well. Kathy was very sweet and attentive. IF I ever have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would definitely stay here again!

The rental is top floor only. Gorgeous views, sounds of the ocean amazing, beautiful soft grass yard. 3 king beds in rooms were great, with storage for clothes. Two pull out couches and mattresses were gross and very limited bed linens. Two bathrooms convenient, one shower head better than the other. Outside shower needs an update and fills with inches of water at your feet. Washer Dryer area needs update, dryer door doesn’t stay closed. Not sure if the back staircase is even still safe. Needs simple things, salad spinner, plastic cups, new potato peeler, a warning that the grill is brickets. Fridge is nice and big. The neighborhood is quite run down, a tonne of tents and homeless on a lot of the parks in town. Ocean sounds with windows open and ceiling fans are lovely if u don’t mind very loud roosters, dogs and birds. Screens on all windows is a plus+ We saw turtles at the beach a few houses down, and the big beach down the road was very nice. (No food or washrooms) short drive to lots of beaches/hikes. Plan to drive for at least an hour or more to go North , South and East Oahu Took us 2.5hrs to get to Hanama bay, but it was worth it! The lots on both sides of the house are run down, but empty. The price was right for water front in Oahu. : )

Suffice it to say that it's a lovely location on the west side of Oahu on the oceanfront...not that you can walk out there...it's rocky. But if you plan to explore the island you're in for long traffic delays on the main highway leading in and out of Waianae...since we booked for a whole month we did have the time to visit a number of places...but it was not worth dealing with the traffic. The home itself is not in the best shape. Whoever cleaned forgot to clean under places.. dust dead bugs everywhere...we left it cleaner than we found it. Is a mattress condition important? The mattress in the bedroom we used was one of the worst we've experienced. ...For what we paid we expected a firmer mattress...this one just sagged everywhere. Idk about the other 3 beds but i suspect they're the same. Dittoes for furniture...old shabby sinking to floor types. The door screens need fixing too...The best part of the location was the little beach just a couple minutes walk. Turtles congregate there and it's lovely to be so close to them. And the Waianae farmers' market just a couple miles north is a great place to get some homegrown organic veggies and ready to eat local food. People? Friendliest nicest native Hawaiian people we've met on any of the islands of Hawaii...Oahu has lovely places to visit but say this rental is located in a place that makes it hard to do that. Traffic congestion backups!

Everything was beautiful. The property was clean and the house was well appointed with everything you or a family would need for a vacation. Check in was a breeze and the neighborhood was lovely. It really was a beautiful house and I am looking forward to staying there again!

If you like being farther away from night life, this is the place for you. You fall asleep to the ocean waves and have your morning coffee watching the whales. There is an awesome little beach a short walk away that often has sea turtles sunning on the shore. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.

Nice place with an amazing view! Everything went well and as described. Only negative about the house is the location, but if you are planning on staying put or ok with plenty of driving, it's a great place to stay!
