Makaha Beach Paradise

We loved our stay at Makaha Beach! Walking out of our condo onto the beach into the water....paradise! Ending the day with stunning sunsets - breathtaking! The condo was a perfect beach house well supplied with kitchen and beach essentials. We’d return in a heartbeat (and hope to!)!

Fantastic beachfront condo, instant access to the beach.

This was a perfect condo for beach lovers like us. It is super easy to go to the ocean right from the condo. We knew that getting a condo in the makaha area means spending some extra time on getting groceries but it hasn't prevented us from exploring the entire island as Oahu is not that large when you get a car. The condo itself features very nice TV's and fast internet, our host was very responsive to any of our needs during the stay.

Makaha Beach Cabana

Excellent cabana - will definitely return and highly recommend this unit. Stepping right out onto the beach each morning for a sunrise walk was a highlight of each day. Beautiful views and semi-private beach. Condo clean and well maintained and provided many amenities needed to enjoy a relaxing vacation. Beach chairs, cooler, hair dryer and much more available for use while staying. Condo is close enough to everything but far enough to be out of the hustle bustle.

Hidden Jewel Of Oahu

We had a wonderful month staying at Jain’s place. The unit is well maintained & equipped with everything we needed. Also, love the convenience of being able to step in & out of beach right from our lanai. The beach is absolutely beautiful & quiet. We enjoyed it so much that we barely did any other activities, but just relaxed there everyday. The building’s laundry room is on the ground floor as well, and can be paid & monitored via app. There is a small farmers market every Saturday about 5 minutes away with fresh vegetables, fruits, local restaurant foods & crafts. Which we enjoyed to go, as well as the large KCC farmers market by Waikiki. Can’t wait to come back again!

Quiet and on the Beach

We really enjoyed this condo. It had everything you needed and the bed was very comfortable. It did not have air conditioning and I was very hesitant, but with the tradewinds you did not need it. It was about a 45 minute trip from the airport but we liked it because a lot less people. It is right on the beach and the crashing of waves at night was amazing. I would give it 5 stars but the only downside for us was the locals put up a tent several night in front of our Lanai because they camp and fish all night. They were very quiet but we didn't like to sit out on the Lanai with them right there before bed and when we woke up in the morning. But it is a great find for the money. Loni and Tony

A Secret Hidden GEM

The condo was clean an very comfortable. Had everything we needed, but our food. The view right outside the patio is beautiful , waves an beach.. Each day we sat on the beach an just watched the ocean, the waves come roaring in .. And the sunsets , OMG , beautiful. 3/4 locals, an 1/4 tourists which is so nice. The book you left on attractions, places to eat , places to explore they were all spot on with directions ect...... This place is Very Relaxing an Soothing for the soul this little hidden gem ... People were all friendly an helpful .. The furthest we traveled from the condo was to the Polyision Culture Center, 91 miles away .. It was a awesome drive... Can't say enough of good things about this Condo an this area the Condo is in... The locals are all very friendly , very thoughtful.....They look out for you .

keep it quiet....

...I dont want everyone to know about it. Pretty much perfect for secluded beach time in paradise....unless you are a habitual complainer or need top of the line accommodations to make yourself feel important. Not VIP or impressive conditions, and more roach traps could be placed as two rather healthy creatures were found and killed in daylight hrs......but if you don't have a stick up your butt about that, and/or you are taking your family and want the convenie,ce of staying on one of the best beaches in the world for a bargain of a price, you'll love it. We'd stay again for sure. Little extra conveniences everywhere: wifi, HD tvs w cable, Netflix, flippers, beach chairs, towels, beach umbrella, complete cooking utensils and dishes. Nuff said. Keep it on the down low!

Wonderful and Quiet Beach on Oahu

My husband and I took our granddaughter, age 15 , for a 10 day stay here. It was perfect for us! We wanted to stay away from the crowds, and we like to be able to walk out from our lanai to the beach. Perfect! From the pictures it looks as if there would be hundreds of people around, since the cabanas and the condos next door are both high risers, but that was not the case at all. Most were not occupied. On the weekends the beach is more crowded, but still way less crowded than other beaches on Oahu. Our condo was clean,comfortable, and has everything you need (except for a small cooler, which we bought and left in the bedroom closet). We snorkeled all over the island, as well as in front of the condo. Toward the big rock you see in the picture is nice! We used the outdoor grills and the washer and dryer, both located nearby. The locals were friendly, and the staff at the condo always greeted us warmly. Janis was always able to answer our questions promptly, as we were preparing for the trip. I would recommend this condo to all of my friends who dislike hotels, and enjoy staying in a comfortable, relaxing environment. Joe and Susan Mahan

Very disapointed!!!

What a nightmare!! We had booked this condo almost a year before we went, It was supposed to be a wonderful and RELAXING holiday for a whole month! A celebration for our 35th wedding anniversary. Imagine our disgust and complete disappointment when we arrived close to midnight after a long day of a two separate flights, we opened the door to a PIG STY! Honestly it was horrible. (I have photos and videos for proof). There was NO way we could stay with the garbage, filth, unmade bed, dishes, food in the fridge, black hairs all over the toilet, it was really very, VERY gross. I am a Realtor and have been in the profession for 25 years, I know what is acceptable and this clearly was not even close. I did get a hold of Janis and after sending her some photos for proof, her solution was to suggest we pull out the couch and sleep there. REALLY? We couldn't even use the bathroom as it was disgusting! So off we went to find a Hotel which if you do not know the area, there really are not any! We finally did arrive at one at 2:30 am and after paying a couple hundred dollars for a few hours sleep (I have the receipt) we finally got to bed. Janis promised the Housekeeper would be done by noon the next day. So now with our next day ruined by waiting for the housekeepers to finish (It was early afternoon) we drove around with our luggage and groceries from Costco for quite a few hours. We did arrive back to a clean condo and it did then look similar to the photos posted, (except the housekeeper took most of the towels and we were left with TWO towels for a week before they were returned) Another feature Janis neglects to mention is the horrible smell in the condo, I haven't yet figured where it was coming from and what exactly it is. Also for your enjoyment, there is a yappy small dog in the condo upstairs who loves to bark each time you step out onto the lanai. Not exactly the relaxing vacation!! Over the next few days we had frustration after frustration, no internet code for our iPad/phones, then the fridge breaks down with a fridge FULL of food, the solution offered by the owner was not satisfactory at all. After getting to know the locals I guess our experience is NOT the first experience like this for this condo. I love the beach and the people, We would come back to the cabanas but NOT to this one, I am not sure how this unit has a 5 star rating!

Life is a Beach!

This property is great! Its away from the crowds and high costs of Honolulu. You are truly experiencing Island life with the Hawaii locals. The best thing about this property is that you open the bedroom sliding glass door and you are on the beach!! I had to sweep the patio almost everyday due to the sand getting on it!! That was great! Also the beach is never crowded, it sits infront of two condo buildings and can only be accessed from the walkway to it and there isn't much public parking, maybe space for 4 cars. This keeps the beach from getting crowded. In the morning I had coffee on the patio and watched Sea Turtles swim by on their way to the feeding grounds. Everyday we saw turtles!! Having a full kitchen helps in Hawaii to save money as it can be costly to eat on the island every meal. I hope to return when my company sends me back!

Wonderful!

Property was just as described, location great, not touristy. Perfect for making day trips to explore the island. The beach was awesome and not crowded, the laundry facilities simple and inexpensive, and the booklet with condo instructions and local info was very helpful. So happy we found this rental!

Can’t beat the view!

We stayed here for our honeymoon and you could not beat walking out the back door straight onto the beach. It was even better to have beach chairs, beach toys, beach towels, etc. included so we didn’t have to bring them or try and find our own. The owner provided a helpful information binder so we could find things to do around the area which we definitely appreciated. The owner and manager were super easy to contact and were always prompt to answer our questions. The only thing we had an issue with was not having air conditioning and trying to sleep through the heat, but we are also used to a cold climate. Overall we loved our stay!!

12 wonderful days at Makaha beach Cababa's

Thank you Janis for providing a very clean unit. Towels, beach chairs, boggy boards, snorkels and masks, cooler and even a fishing pole. Plus more. This is a great place to stay every time we are in Hawaii. Priced well and has many things you won't need to pick up at the store. Great to see the Weber gas grill. The beach is terrific with few people and the Puka shell hunting was fun for our Granddaughter and us. If your not into the over crowded tourist areas this is the place. Highly recommend!!!

Quiet and relaxing.

Really enjoyed our stay at the cabanas. Access right to the beach. Gated property, which is good. It is far from the crowded area of Waikiki, so if this is what you are looking for, go for it.

This condo makes the whole Oahu experience great!

Everything is exactly as described, only better. My husband and I have not had a week long vacation for 24 years when our kids were small and that vacation was anything but relaxing. We traveled to the whole island and couldn’t find a nicer beach. There was one on the east side that was prettier (maybe) but was crowded so much we couldn’t find parking. Most of the weekdays there was maybe one or two people at the condo’s beach and most of the time no one at all. The condo itself was great for relaxing. I like to read and my husband likes to plan a few activities around his naps - like in multiple. The kitchen has brand new cupboards with slide out drawers and Janis has been very thoughtful about stocking it with everything you would want to cook. We saved a lot of money by purchasing fresh fish (ahi), steak or shrimp each afternoon and fixing it with fresh produce. It’s a great way to end the day, eating local food on the lanai. Better than any fancy restaurant. The area is mainly occupied by locals and it was great! We felt welcome and safe there - so glad we didn’t stay in Waikiki. The best part of this condo is it FEELS like a home and has all those home like touches hotels just don’t have. Thoughtful decor that’s not “cookie cutter”, and is furnished with equipment if someone likes to do activities like using boogie boards or chairs to watch the sunset. Don’t think the condo is perfect.......There are a few minor things that really didn’t bother me like the screen door has a hard time locking so I just didn’t mess with it and made sure we were gentle with opening/closing - just like at home! We couldn’t figure out the tv that kept saying “no signal” but we used our lap top fine with the WiFi, I’m sure it was “operator error” and we didn’t want to screw anything up so we didn’t mess with it. Such minor things when we were there to relax and explore the island. This place was the perfect getaway and we came home with the plan of repeating this vacation next year.

Just as advertised!!

We spent 10 wonderful days in this condo... It was just as we were told it would be !!! Steps to the beach is an understatement, More like step off the patio and you are on the beach.. The water was so clear and a perfect 80 degrees... We loved being out with the locals instead of the typical tourist scene... The people were so friendly and groceries and restaurants just down the street... Lot's of snorkeling gear, boogie boards and fishing equipment at the condo.. And it was stocked just like our own home!!! Thanks Janis for sharing your amazing home with us.. Our 30th wedding anniversary was more than we ever expected!!! Jeff and Ronda Langley

Excellent beach and view. Great little condo!

My family and I arrived with great expectations of the beach and condo, we were not disappointed. Being able to step on and off the beach directly from the patio was a great plus. We would highly recommend shopping for groceries and cooking in the condo. They also have a great BBQ which we used a few times.

Very nice stay in paradise!

The condo was exactly as described and really suited our needs and the purpose of our vacation which was to go somewhere quiet and remote but still be able to tour the island and do some of the "tourist attractions". It was very clean when we arrived and we were very pleasantly surprised that it was stocked even more so than described. Everything you need in a kitchen is there as well as plenty of bath and beach towels. We spent a lot of time out on the lanai and really enjoyed the view and ease of getting to the beach and into the water. It was great using the Tommy Bahama beach chairs equipped with a small cooler bag and storage for personal things like sunscreen glasses and a book. The drink holders and a cell phone holder on the side by the arm rest came in very handy and made it so easy to venture down to the beach. We enjoyed meeting and talking with a few locals who live in the building. People there, and in the community, were quite friendly. We slept great there and woke up refreshed and ready for a new day! It was quiet when we were there and it was so nice to be on an uncrowded beach. Definitely no problem staking out a place on the sand and not many people went in the water, so we felt like it was our own private beach. The pictures of the condo and the beach are exactly what you get. Nothing super fancy but it was clean and met our needs perfectly.

A Great Spot

Enjoyed our time(December) at Makaha Condos. Excellent beach right outside the front door - uncrowded. We saw whales breach and swam with turtles and trumpet fish. Condo was as described by owner. Family had a great time playing in the waves, meeting the neighbours, exercising on the beach and travelling around the island. We also loved shopping at the local grocery stores and sampling local foods. The condo is away from the crowds which made this area even more appealing to us.(The area outside the condo does have areas that look rough but we never felt unsafe. I found that it didn't matter where you went on the island you ran into these rough looking areas.) Thank you Janice for sharing your condo we definitely enjoyed it(family didn't want to leave), if we can we would love to come back.
