Keywords: Luxury home
The Villa at Makaha combines the best of Hawaii’s plantation style architecture and elegant living. Off the main road, our gated property offers guests a private oceanfront resort experience with all the comforts of home. When you first open the double doors leading to our home the view will take your breath away. The spacious living and dining areas open to a covered lanai, where wide steps lead to our beautifully landscaped ocean front yard. You will be awe struck by the waves crashing against the lava rock wall or whales breaching right in front of our home during the winter months.
The Villa at Makaha is one of the premier beach homes on Oahu. It features 6 bedrooms, central air conditioning, cherry wood floors throughout, a gourmet kitchen with high end appliances including a sub zero refrigerator, three designer bathrooms (one with a Jacuzzi tub), an attached garage, and even office space for those needing to keep in touch with work back home. Our home is tastefully furnished and its thoughtful layout makes it perfect for several families. Guests can dine indoors or on the covered lanai, which features ceiling fans and shutters for those rare rainy evenings.
The first floor has four bedrooms. The two south wing bedrooms share an in-suite bathroom, and the two north bedrooms share an adjacent bath. The upstairs living area has two bedrooms and a full bath. Half of the bedrooms offer twin beds, but, to meet our guests needs, we can re-configure our home to provide 4 king beds and two queen beds.
Makaha is on the leeward (western) side of Oahu and is the ultimate Hawaii beach location. Makaha is renowned for its post card sunsets, surfing, scuba diving and for its drier and sunnier climate. The location of our home is ideal. We are far enough from Waikiki that you will experience the real Hawaii, yet nearby you can enjoy resort life. It's only 12 miles to the resorts at Ko Olina (featuring the new Disney resort opening in Aug 2011). Ko Olina features the island’s best luau, fine dining, championship golf and charter boats.
Even closer by there are two golf courses in Makaha Valley as well as numerous local restaurants. At the Makaha Marina you will find scuba diving excursions, fishing charters and whale watching trips.
Our house is on a lava beach, protected by a seawall. From our spacious, palm tree shaded lawn you’ll enjoy swells breaking against the rocks and during the winter months you can spot whales nearby. A short walk down our lane is Beal’s pool (a natural swimming hole) and Makaha Beach Park. Or hop in your car and head north to road’s end to Keawa ‘Ula Bay to enjoy one of the most beautiful beaches in paradise.
We invite you to enjoy Hawaii in the air-conditioned comfort of our beautiful home.

Why the Owner Chose Makaha
We owned another Oahu home, but wanted a home on the west side where the weather was drier and we were looking for a more elegant home.
The Unique Benefits of this House
The house has three separate living areas - each with two bedrooms and a bath. Each living area has two twin beds that can be configured as a king bed. The other bedroom in each living area has either a queen or a king bed.

Paradise in Makakha

Makaha is a small, isolated town on the western coast of Oahu. It is a paradoxical place, a land of extremes known for its beautiful white beaches and rich cultural heritage. The “Villa at Makaha is a beautifully appointed, well maintained beachfront home with all of the comforts of home and much, much more. The house is spectacular, warm, inviting and fully equipped. The amenities are wonderful, tastefully appointed and decorated to create a sense of welcome! It was wonderful to fall asleep to the sound of the ocean outside our window. The master bedroom also has a magnificent Jacuzzi tub and there is no need to bring a hair dryer, as everything you might need is provided. Spectacular nightly sunsets added to the viewing as we enjoyed “Mai tai” hour! Sea turtles poked their heads out from the surf welcoming us. We also enjoyed relaxing and reading in the chairs on the lawn, or in the hammock hung between regal palm trees in the back yard. The neighborhood is small and colorfully local. Several great local markets are just minutes away. Great fresh poki is plentiful! One of our favorite restaurants in Makaha is Tacos and More for great Margueritas and Mexican food. If you enjoy snorkling there is much to expolore off the reefs in the backyard where several sea caves are located. Bring reef walkers to explore the reef at low tide. There is a wonderful swimming hole called “Beel’s Pool” built into the reef just steps from the house and there are wonderful beaches, hikes and historical Hawaiian architecture close by. There is a beautiful white sand beach not far away at Yokahama Bay, where the coast road ends. There you can park your car and enjoy a hike to Kaena Point, the western end of the island, which ends at a nature preserve where sea lions can be seen lounging on the sand. A rental car is necessary to fully explore the island of Oahu. It is only about a 45 minute drive to the North Shore where we had a wonderful lunch at Ola's on the beach at Turtle Bay. Halewaii on the North Shore is a great surf town famous for its shaved ice and gift shops. It is easy to rent a surf board if the surf is good! Honolula is also about 45 minutes away and well worth spending the day. Don't forget the weekend open market swap meet at the stadium. Lots of local treasures! Our visit to the Villa was extraordinary! It is a special house in a very special place. We would highly recommend it to family and friends. Aloha & Mahalo!
Recommended for:Sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children.

Debbie was most helpful as we booked our stay giving us plenty of suggestions, but the fact is we were happy to spend most of our time at her fantastic house. What a final day of our one week stay at. We toured Disney's Aulani Resort- just five days after it opened. It's beautiful - just as you would expect from Disney, but the truth is we're glad we were here instead. What's not to love about this house. It's even more beautiful than the website pictures. When we returned from our visit to Ko Olina we walked for an hour around the Makaha Retreat golf course, then stopped at Makaha Beach to enjoy one last Hawaiian sunset. Then we came back home to enjoy Mai Tais as we sat on the seawall. Waves splashed on the lava rocks in front of us. Mindful of our need to tidy the house and pack we retreated to the house for a couple hours only to return to the seawall for another show. The quarter moon was setting and we sat on the hammock watching the orange moon slip below the horizon. The Milky Way was in full glow and we even saw a falling star. All the while the ocean sounds filled the air (ok, we could also hear the neighbor singing in the shower, but that is so Hawaii). All in all it was a great ending to a very fun week. Great golf, wonderful weather, plenty of hammock time... P.S. On our last night we also got to see the green flash!

Thanks Deb for helping us organise this holiday in this beautiful home for our family.It had everything we needed and more. Thanks for organising the whale and turtles and seal as well!! We will have this holiday in our memories for a while to come.Owner is a lovely person to deal with.Beautiful rock pool and mini beach 5 min walk with strollers for the 5 little ones. The bigger kids hired paddle boards from Makaha Beach just 10 min walk away. The views from this house are better than the pictures. The photos in this ad are ENTIRELY accurate. W e spent many hours in the backyard playing and watchng the view and the kids loved shouting out when the beautiful spray would come up off the rocks. We would come again if an opportunity popped up WHEN all the family were available.M&L

Outstanding Home Away From Home

This rental property is trully exceptional! Our family members united from all over the country to hold a memorial service for our mother and rented this beautiful home. We were completely overwhelmed by the beauty, location, and amenities that awaited us. The website pictures do not capture the true experience of "living" this house offers. The house and yard are larger then the view you are able to see on the website. Everything in the house was immaculant, in perfect working condition, and better then the description given online. The check in and greet service as well as the check out process was smooth and professionally excecuted. The owners were pleasant to deal with and our deposit was returned to us in a timely manner. The neighborhood is safe, well maintained with a bus stop located 2 houses from the house. We visited many sites including the beach (located close to the house), the Pearl Harbor Memorial, the Punch Bowl, and China Town. We also took the kids to a water sports park where they were pulled on a huge intertube, rode sea doo's and parasailed. One of our favorite activities was attending an authentic leau. Once you are unpacked you will feel at home for your stay. We hated to leave and plan on returning in 2 years for a family reunion. You will not go wrong if you choose this beautiful house to host your vacation/function. Mahalo to our property owners and Aloha!
