excellent views, super comfortable bed. everything as advertised or better. so close to makaha beach. west side best side

Great base camp for adventures on Oahu. The only issue we had with the property is that we couldn't find any silverware. The condo was clean and has incredible views. The owner was great to work with. Would definitely stay here again!

The good things were a comfortable bed, nice pool and spectacular view. Flooring needs replacing desperately, it was filthy! Old and tired condo. Really bad area of the island, lots of homeless camps nearby. Dirty sponges for cleaning dishes. Could be a great condo with some improvements!

The Views and the sounds didn't want to leave

Property is just OK. Directions for entry and required deposit for a parking pass were out dated. Spectacular view would be much better if bedroom glass wall were cleaned. Throw rugs throughout, probably to protect off-white carpet, are all curled at the edges and some bunched in center making for tripping hazards. Long curving slow drive to town and coast. Traffic to/from Honolulu really bad.

We had a great stay in the condo! We especially liked the location with the beautiful view from the balcony over the valley to the sea. We also used the resort pool and could have had a barbecue, the facilities were very good. The apartment was clean and the bed was comfortable. The storage space in the kitchen was sometimes a bit small when cooking, but everything worked well. On the west coast, unlike Waikiki, you have your peace and quiet. All the people we met in the resort and the people at the gate were very nice. It would just have been nice to know in advance that the resort office is closed at weekends and is open until 6pm on Fridays. We arrived half an hour late and then had to wait several days to get a temporary parking permit because of the weekend and New Year. We therefore had to report to the gate every day and were given a provisional form to park as a guest that was only valid for one day. From 01.01.2024, a deposit of $100 instead of $50 will be charged for parking. We were also asked for our apartment number at the gate, which we didn't know at the time, which made check-in more difficult. The apartment number could be provided in the initial information. However, we were able to get the key to the apartment without any problems. Overall, we had a wonderful time there and would definitely come back!

very nice, quite, secure and beautiful

Comfortable

I Loved all the Aloha...The place we stayed in was Awesome and Just Perfect for Us...We stopped and picked up groceries on our way...The bed was one of the most Comfortable Beds I have slept on...The room was so clean...The View was Amazing...The people on the property were so full of Aloha...The whole property was very well-kept and spotless. They cleaned the pool and the grill area every morning...I absolutely loved the Peacocks...The location worked perfectly for us since our Daughter and her Ohana were only 2 miles away...I look forward to booking here again...

We had a flat tire in our rental car making us park in the front. Unloading luggage was a challenge until a security guard offered to take the bags in a golf cart around the hillside building. Slept, next day bought cleaning supplies and cleaned the apartment. Otherwise pretty easy stay. Apartment did not look like picture. Furnishings very different. Challenge was traffic and food establishments beyond fast food near the towers. Peacocks galore on the property! Also lockbox doors pull down and toward you we had trouble in the dark. Beaches were lovely but the public camping invites homelessness which isn’t easy to forget as a visitor. Sunset from 10th floor was stunning. Gave me a good sense of what it might be like to live on Oahu’s far west side.away from the usual tourist locals.

Stay was nice! It was a good deal for having a kitchen. It’s a bit of a drive to the city (1hour on most days). Security was nice but parking was kind of a pain. it’s not necessarily a party scene if that is what you’re looking for choose another spot.

The condo is listed as “elite” but there is nothing elite about this place. The place is very dated, minimal renovations, annoying check in process, far drive to anything. We got an email to “remove shoes due to white carpet” the carpet is brown with a million stains which are covered up with indoor/outdoor rugs. Just don’t peel them back, you’ll be in for a grimy surprise. The shower curtain was moldy, we contacted host and she sent someone over to change shower curtain- that was nice but it didn’t change the rest of the grimy condo. Mold, rust everywhere. The vent was constantly blowing dust, dirt, hair and stuff which make the place dusty and yucky feeling. The check in process is also a pain. Check in is at 4pm, but the office closes at 5pm to get a parking permit so place your arrival accordingly. We then had to have $50 cash deposit for parking pass. Fine- not a big deal but we checked out before 8am to catch our flight and nobody is in the office before 8am making it a loss of money. So note hours are 8am-5pm. The dishes were also not clean and the dish rack that holds the “clean dishes” was dirty- I washed the rack. I dusted the vents, and slept on top of the sheets knowing the cleanliness is lacking. If we knew what we knew now we would not have booked it. The pictures are deceiving. Pay a little more and have a nice clean relaxing stay, and stay closer to anything else… this is at the end of a road- so the only way out of the west shore is to back track. No fun.

Friendly secure quiet

The condo was dirty and the pool and BBQ deck were closed. This was not communicated to us before or during our stay and the only reason we booked this condo- was for the pool. Our disappointment was communicated to the owners with zero resolution and they seemingly did not care.

Views from the balcony overlooking the valley and the ocean were second to none. Condo itself was clean and modern and everything you need for a relaxing stay.

Bathtub had mildew. Room rugs were bunched up and the corners were rolled up to cause tripping hazard. I did notifiy owner of these. Room could stand to have a good cleaning.

Nice stay with a GREAT view. If you are wanting an experience that is disconnected from the main cities, this condo in a great little location. Close to the beach with lots of wild peacocks/wildlife. Ps - make sure you bring personal care products and larger beach towels.

Awesome

Really enjoyed the view and the comfort of this place. Close to Makaha Beach. Loved staying here...

Love the Makaha Valley area. The locals say “west is best”! We agree. Beautiful, uncrowded beaches and great sunsets. Not the first time we’ve stayed here. Won’t be the last.

Lovely

Great view, great pool, owner very accommodating!

The check in process was easy but takes a while, though the office staff and security were very kind and helpful. The condo was very clean and beautiful, and all utilities were provided. There is even a shared laundry area. Plus, quick access to gas, food, and shopping, and a short drive from some of the most beautiful beaches on Oahu. Definitely a great place to stay! 11/10

Our stay at this property in Makaha Valley was incredible😀 Vanessa was the perfect host right from the start, with great communications and allowing us an early checkin. The condo was spotless and had all the amenities we needed. The saltwater pool and property is kept super clean by the friendly and very helpful staff. The beautiful peacocks that live on property are entertaining and even seem to abide with the quiet time rules😀 With bus service here and close proximity to great beaches and restaurants, we would highly recommend this condo and will definitely return! Thank you Vanessa for sharing your little slice of heaven with us🙏💕🥂

This stay started out inconvenient and got worse from there. Upon arrival the check in process is confusing and inconvenient. (be prepaired to furnish $50.00 cash deposit for parking pass) Once checked in we found the place had not been cleaned from the previous renters and when I went to the office I was told I have to deal with the owner as they only do the check in and have nothing to do with maintenance. When I called the owner I was told there was a miscommunication with the cleaner and she could not have the place cleaned. She told us where the spare bedding was and we could make our own bed and pile the dirty towels and bedding up for retrieval later. She did refund our cleaning fee. This property is in a very run down condition with the dresser drawers will not close from being off track. The mirror that belongs on the dresser is sitting on the floor leaning against the wall and the carpet is filthy with many stains. The owner has tried to cover the dirty carpet with several area rugs that have the corners curled up causing my wife to trip several times. The TV is so confusing that we never could get it to work for local stations or cable. The ROKU did work to watch movies. It would help if the owner would leave a phamphlet to explain how the TV works, Where the laundry is and how to get a card for the washer/dryer, How to get to the pool. Overall I could not with clear concience recoment this property.

Great views, condo was clean and the bed was very comfortable.

If you are looking for something outside of the big city this is your spot. Excellent experience. Very close to beautiful beach spots. Very well kept grounds, excellent and helpful staff, clean room with great views. Check in process was very smooth and would definitely stay here again. The room is equipped with everything you need. 100% recommend.

This place is within a condominium building that has security at the gate and requires permit to come in. The person renting the apartment is required to fill out the form and submit it to the security office in order for you to be able to get through the gate and park there. There are peacocks roaming the gardens and parking lot. Quiet area. The only amenity is the swimming pool. The location, even though it’s close to North Shore, is not accessible because one would need to drive towards the city Honolulu in order to take the freeway back up north and reach North Shore. The distance is only 12 - 20 miles but because there is no access it takes 1 hr to drive there. The beaches around the area of this apartment is populated by homeless camps. This apartment building is really an Oasis. Once you enter the grounds you feel like in a total different world. Kind people, kind staff. I recommend.

Thanks for letting us to stay there.

I have been using vrbo for 10+ years for every vacation I take and there are many. This is my first experience with a listing that was so grossly misrepresented and the owner lied to the vrbo customer service about it too. The location for starters is as other reviewers mentioned BAD not just ok this isn't great, no, it is that you need to drive an hour to feel comfortable going to the grocery store bad. The location I was willing to compromise on as long as the stay was fine, but this was also not the case. The images listed are extremely misrepresented, everything was moldy, rusted, stained, dirty or just flat out different than the pictures. The shower was absolutely repulsive with black mold on all the fixtures, the vents are all missing filters and are oozing with buildup, rug is stained and gross, fridge is covered in rust, plates and cups were stained and dirty, we found roaches everywhere, bed lines are nothing like pictures and look like they came from a 15 yr olds room with pilling and stains.... I know I am forgetting some too. When we addressed these issues with the owner they said it was clean and would not refund the money for the rest of the days when we left night 1. You will be much happier to stay literally anywhere else!

Awesome property. Only unfavorable thing is the fact that its in Wainaea. Alot of homeless in the area. If you rent this property definitely going to want to rent a car (cheaper if you dont rent from airport). Property is 1 hr 20 mins from north shore. 1 hr 30 mins from sealife park. 55 mins from airport. 1 hr 15 mins from waikiki.

Needs a few updates but over all not bad. The birds are great! Just peacocks and they don’t interrupt your sleep. We had a good time for the price.
