Accommodations: Condo, 1 Bedroom + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath (Sleeps 2-4)
Keywords: Condominium
Spectacular oceanfront property, right on the beach, with west facing lanai, perfect for enjoying the incredible sunsets and moonsets over the Pacific ocean for which Hawaii is famous.
Secure off-street parking in a gated, private community. Located only 35 miles from Honolulu Airport, yet has easy access to H1, connecting you to all the Island of Oahu has to offer the visitor. The only amusement water park in Hawaii only a few miles away.
After visiting Pearl Harbor, Hanauma Bay, and the crowds on Waikiki, the peaceful, quiet and beautiful setting at Makaha Beach Cabanas will have you hurrying back to enjoy yet another breath-taking sunset from your very own lanai.
Fully remodeled with all the amenities of home, granite countertops, tile throughout, step in glass/tile shower, with the bedroom facing the beach, additional sleep area of a queen-sized sofa bed in the living room, flat-screened t.v. in both bedroom and living room, truly a home-away-from-home.
A mere one mile drive to the championship Makaha Golf Resort with two-18 hole golf courses, Ko Olina Resort only eight miles away with the best luau on the island of Oahu, snorkling right off the beach on which you are located, serene setting, yet only a 45 minute drive to Waikiki, you will truly loose yourself in the island experience. Must see the condo to believe its charm. "Turtle Cove", right around the corner from Makaha Beach, is the best kept secret on Oahu!
I value reviews sent by guests, and keep a separate file of comments received. I also keep an up-to-date guest book inside the condo in which visitiors can leave their comments during and after their stay. I would be happy to provide comments received from previous guests for prospective guests upon request.

I've been traveling to the islands once or twice a year for many years, and I have to say, this was one of my favorite experiences. I truly felt at home in this beautifully decorated, scrupulously clean condo, and really couldn't have asked for anything more. To be able to sit on the balcony and watch the children playing in the surf below while I worked on my book for 10 days was truly inspirational. The sounds of the surf, whale sightings and a constant breeze flowing through the condo made it absolutely perfect. I really can't wait to return, and hope to stay longer on my next visit to this paradisiacal spot.

Pam's place was wonderful. The condo was beautifull\y decorated, she has wonderful taste and you will enjoy staying at her place because she has thought of everything. Having the beach so close by and falling asleep listening to the waves hit the shore was beyond wonderful. Hated coming back to Midwest and the cold weather. Hope to enjoy Pam's place again soon. Thank you Pam for opening your place to us.

If you are looking for the perfect, romantic spot with a slower "island feel", this is your place! What a wonderful delight to find Pam's beach paradise! Her condo & beach are a reason to come (and come back) to Oahu. Wish we could have stayed longer! Such a pleasure to get away from the touristy places to your own quiet, beautiful beach. And you are right on the beach for such a reasonable price! Great place to lounge on the sand or snorkel with the fish & sea turtles. The condo is spotless, well laid out & equiped with just about everything you might need. It has a fun, pretty & comfortable decor. Beds were comfy, too. Markets & fast food are nearby. The view & the sound of the ocean, day & night is marvelous. This is a relaxing haven to return to at the end of a day's sightseeing. Pam is a great hostess, very responsive to questions and a pleasure to work with.

We've been to this area before and absolutely loved it. Those looking for true paradise will fall in love with this beach as it is away from all the craziness that is Waikiki. Falling asleep to the crashing waves and waking up to the beautiful sunshine was amazing. If we left the condo during the day, we made sure to be back in time for the sunset as the lanai provided the best view of it. Quick access to the private beach made it perfect to go body boarding and snorkeling - we saw turtles, octopus and lots of other marine life! It was our home away from home as we were provided with everything we would ever need! Fully stocked kitchen and bathroom along with the beach gear made the trip a lot more smoother! The best part was just getting to know Pam through our email exchange and through her home. It really made the trip less stressful knowing she was always there to help as she was incredibly quick to respond to our emails. Thank you Pam for sharing your 'gem!' We will be back soon!

Excellent Location, Great Condo, Caring Owner.

Review Submitted: 09/25/11
We chose this location because of previous reviews and it really was simply excellent. The beach is almost private but friendly. Perfect for snorkling, belly boarding or just cooling off in the ocean. The apartment is the best equipped that we have ever encountered, with an owner (Pam) who obviously cares about her Customers' vacation experience, at every stage of the process. All in all, a rare, precious combination. Book here with confidence and enjoy a vacation to remember. Some driving involved, but it is a relatively small island, - and this really it is a world away from the bustle of Waikiki. Very well done and thanks, Pam. We hope we may get to share 'your slide of paradise' again in the future.

This is what I expected of Oahu to be, the view from the Lanai is breathe taking! Pam had all the kitchen accesories you needed, we shopped for our breakfast and drinks before hand. Breakfast on the lanai was unbelievable. A monk seal visited us twice during our 4 night stay. We snorkeled and enjoyed our private beach, at the most I counted 10 people on that beach. 7pm was the sunset in August. We used Pams beach towels, umbrella, sarongs, slippers, beach chairs and coolers. Thank you so much Pam, this was truly a gem you shared with us and definitely a home away from home experience. We stayed in Waikiki for the weekend after our stay here, I kept on thinking about Makaha beaches and how I missed the secluded area and away from the hustle and bustle. It is a 40 minute drive from the city but well worth it. We will return, thank you again Pam! Joyce & Kevin from Juneau, Alaska

We stayed here in May of 2010 and I am a very picky person, but this condo was WONDERFUL!!! We have tried to come back and stay several times but it is always booked up. Pam is a delite to work with and I would highly recommend this place. And the beach is one of the best in the world. Love it there!!!

What a wonderful place! There were mornings when we had the beach to ourselves! It was awesome to fall asleep and be awakened by the sound of the waves. The condo is very neatly kept and well stocked. You'll have to do some driving but the island's not that big. Highly recommend and hope to come back!

Amazing Memories Paradise Found

Review Submitted: 04/27/11
OUR DECISION TO TRAVEL TO THIS VACATION PARADISE WAS MADE AFTER EXTENSIVE COMMUNICATION WITH THE OWNER, AND COMPARISON TO OTHER TRAVEL OPTIONS TO HAWAII, INCLUDING OTHER CONDO PROPERTIES AT THE MAKAHA BEACH CABANAS. THE OWNER WAS GRACIOUS TO RESPOND TO ALL OF OUR QUESTIONS AND WAS THOROUGH AND ACCURATE IN HER DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY, AND A PLEASURE TO DEAL WITH. WE ARRIVED AT THE CONDO, AND IMMEDIATELY FELT AT "HOME" AWAY FROM HOME, IT WAS IMMACULATE. THE PHOTOS WERE VERY ACCURATE IN DEPICTING THE BEAUTY OF THE CONDO, IN FACT, I WOULD SAY THE VIEWS OF THE BEACH ARE MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN WERE CAPTURED IN THE PHOTOS. WE ENJOYED EVERY MINUTE OF OUR STAY AT THE CABANAS, PLAYED IN THE SURF, HAD A PICNIC ON THE BEACH, MOONLIT WALKS, PICKED TINY SEA SHELLS, AND ENJOYED THE BEAUTIFUL BLUE WATERS OF "BLUE HAWAII". THE OWNER HAS TASTEFULLY DECORATED THE CONDO WITH MERMAID MEMORABILIA AND I AM SURE EVERY SINGLE ONE HAS A STORY. THE CONDO LACKED FOR NOTHING, THE BEDDING WAS VERY COMFORTABLE INCLUDING THE SOFA BED, WHERE OUR DAUGHTER SLEPT SOUNDLY. WE ENJOYED GRILLING IN THE OUTDOOR BARBECUE AREA. IN THE MORNINGS WE WOULD OPEN THE SHUTTERS ON THE FRONT SIDE OF THE CONDO FOR A VIEW OF THE MOUNTAINS AND TO LET THE SUN SHINE IN. WE ENJOYED THE TWO FLAT SCREEN TELEVISIONS, THE I-POD DOCK AND THE CABLE INTERNET ACCESS WHEN WE WERE RELAXING INSIDE THE CONDO. WE TRAVELED INTO WAIKIKI FOR OUR 6TH AND 7TH NIGHTS OF OUR 7 NIGHT VACATION. WE HAD DECIDED TO DO THIS SO THAT WE COULD TAKE CARE OF SOME OF THE "TOURISTY" STUFF YOU TRAVEL TO HAWAII FOR. WE WISHED WE HAD STAYED ALL SEVEN NIGHTS IN THE CONDO, NO NEED FOR WAIKIKI. WE HAVE NO COMPLAINTS, AND ARE HOPEFUL TO STAY AGAIN SOON. THERE IS A TRUE LOCAL APPEAL TO THE AREA, OUTSIDE OF THE CONDO, IN THE TOWN OF WAIANAE, YOU WILL GET A REAL TASTE OF A LOCAL LIFESTYLE, WE ENJOYED THE CONTRAST, AND VISITING WITH THE LOCAL POPULATION, AFTER ALL, IT IS THEIR PARADISE THEY ARE SHARING WITH US.

This condo beats anything in Waikiki (hands down)! Although we visited Waikiki, we always found ourselves back on this beach for the beautiful view and the great area. The location of this condo is amazing as well as the views of this location. I couldn't have asked for better "real" hawaiian vacation. Great condo with the best location.
