I had a great stay at this vacation rental and would definitely come back again. The mountain view in the back was beautiful and really made the experience feel peaceful and relaxing. As someone traveling solo for the first time, I especially appreciated that the home is located in a gated community—it made me feel safe and comfortable throughout my stay.The place itself was very clean and well-equipped. I liked that there were chairs outside to sit and enjoy the view, and having pans available made it easy to cook when I didn’t feel like going out. One of my favorite touches was the guest book—it was fun reading through past visitors’ experiences and getting recommendations for things to do nearby.The community was very quiet, which made it even more enjoyable to unwind. Annie was a wonderful host—very kind, responsive, and communicative. She made sure to keep me informed about some work that needed to be done during my stay so I wouldn’t be caught off guard, which I really appreciated.Overall, this was a great experience and I would absolutely stay here again.

Accommodations were great.
The little apartment had every thing we needed, even a grill. What a backyard. Wow, the view! House was in a gated community. They do have a homeless issue on that side of the island and finding a beach without an encampment was discouraging. It was far from most of the things that we wanted to do.

Thank you Gail! Yeah the homelessness is a sad thing and we often try to donate and do what we can to help as locals. The good thing is that our home is in a gated community passing through the country club and golf course. Very safe and peaceful.

Private and secure
Joy is amazing and is one of the best hosts we have had. Perfect communication!
We enjoyed our stay tremendously.
It is out of town and in a new development that Google doesn’t quite recognize yet.
You do have to drive through about 2 miles of homeless to get to their connecting road that leads up to the neighborhood. But with the gated community we felt so safe. Beautiful Mountain View’s and a peak of the ocean.
The living space is clean and beautiful.
Fully enjoyed our stay and would stay there again!

First Trip to Oahu
The overall property was good. It is a new development and there is no street lighting. I could see a streetlight installed but not working. Also, there needs to be some motion detection lighting at the entrance to the VRBO. It is very dark when returning at night. I would also suggest some type of welcome book when you arrive that would share some places of interest, shopping, food upon arrive.

Thank you Rick! It is a brand new community and the lighting/speed bumps need to be completed. We are in the middle of finishing landscaping and yard that includes the lighting. We do send info about shopping/Restaurants/tourist spots as the welcome/check in note. Will have the hard copy soon. Mahalo!

Quiet Vacay Home in Mākaha Valley
We enjoyed staying at this home during our 9 day trip to O'ahu for our 20th Anniversary! The owner was very responsive to our arrival, as well as giving us suggestions of where to eat and play! The accommodations were fantastic and were perfect for the two of us. The only issue that came up was that the fridge kept being tripped at the circuit breaker. We contacted the owner immediately and she was quick to respond and was going to be sending out an electrician as soon as one was available.
As far as the other reviews about homelessness in the area, it wasn't in the immediate area (more noticeable on the beaches approx 2 miles away) and generally wasn't an issue for us; especially since we see this same issue back home. The area in which the property sits, is beautiful, quiet, and gated with a 24 hr guard who checks everyone in. We loved that the property wasn't really close to tourist attractions, as we were looking for a more quiet place! We enjoyed driving around the island exploring!
We would stay at this property again if we travel back to the island!

Views To Remember…
The process started with detailed communication a week in advance. We found the communication welcoming. The host provided clear directions so we knew what to expect as though we had been there before. This is a gated community with a positive neighborhood vibe. The views start as you approach the neighborhood and continue as you look out the front door towards ocean. The property is well landscaped including a patio with the backdrop of the mountains. Nature is on full display and you find yourself immersed in it. The sounds of nature were so peaceful during morning yoga on the patio. We were overwhelmed with the thoughtfulness of the host from the kitchen supplies, extra bedding, beach chairs, beach towels, and the list goes on. This was a memorable experience for us and we will always cherish the the views and the hospitality. Views to remember! Thank you so much!

Thankful for our stay
My wife and I stayed here for 4 nights and really enjoyed ourselves. The ADU is small but well equipped and comfortable. The owner is very attentive and kind. The neighborhood is quiet and the views of the surrounding mountains in Makaha Valley made for really great mornings or evenings on the patio. Really the only downside of the unit is the fan for the main house AC; when it kicks on it’s a little annoying while you enjoy the quiet morning in the valley. It’s a minor disturbance and not really a complaint.
Regarding the location of the rental, Hawaii is home to more than tourism, and you’re going to be aware of that fact on the west side. Unfortunately a lot of people are squeezed by the high cost of living, and the homeless population has grown on the beaches that dot the coast. You’ll drive at least 15 minutes to find a beach without an encampment, unless you can access the military beach 10 minutes away.
We did a lot of driving because that was our plan on this trip, so this wasn’t an inconvenience to us. If anything it just gives you a sense of the real situation on Oahu. If your goal is to post up in one place and walk to the beach every day, this probably isn’t the place for you. But if you can enjoy some driving and want to see all of Oahu, this is a good option.

Sensationally Cozy and Re-energizing!
Absolutely wonderful place to stay and has a 50 inch Tv on the wall right in front of the comfortable queen size bed! All the counter tops are beautiful! This home is in a really nice gated community and all the neighbor's waved at us while we drove by! So friendly! There is a really nice beach to relax at pass the Makaha street that you make a right onto to get to the cute studio just drive down further pass that street and there is practically no one at this beach here! A hidden gem! There is pots and pans to use while you stay at the studio. The stove is a two bunner stover top that was really great to use for cooking! There was Olive Oil for us to use and Tide Detergent as well. I would absolutely love to stay here again and also the couch I believe pulls out into a futon. It was just me and my husband who stayed here so we didn't need to use it as a bed for kiddos. The host stayed in contact with us and she was really sweet! Oh my goodness and the blow dryer to blow dry my hair was extremely good and I have thick hair and it dried my hair in only 7 minutes! Also I loved the tub/shower and the window in the shower is up high and is prettier in person! The water flasks jugs to borrow while hiking was a life saver! There was an umbrella to borrow as well to and that was very helpful! I know me and my husband would definitely stay here again! And if there are any golfers, Makaha Valley CC is right next door which my husband really enjoyed. He said the course was great to play and had some spectacular views.!

Great place, tucked away
This is on the leeward side of the island. The beaches on this side are less crowded than in Waikiki, especially in the morning. There's a chill, party vibe at night. It was nice for days we just wanted to lounge and play at the beach. But it was a long drive to the North shore (there's no road going north, you have to drive back south and then up to the north shore). We didn't mind, we loved seeing all parts of the island. But it is something to consider when booking.
The guest house is built into the main house, but has a private entrance. Aside from being able to hear the water turn on when folks upstairs turned on the shower, we couldn't hear the neighbors in the main house. The property backs up to a gorgeous mountain, and the neighborhood is quiet. It was under heavy construction during our stay, but we got through the streets alright, and we didn't hear any of it.
Oh! We did hear lots of peacocks and roosters in the early morning. That was pretty cool. Couldn't hear them with the windows closed though.
The bed was smaller than we thought it would be. (I guess it's been a while since we slept on a queen). But we slept just fine.
Some things not mentioned in the listing were that they have a washer and dryer (super helpful!), a stovetop, a full size fridge, and a toaster oven, as well as cups, bowls, plates, utensils, etc. We didn't have to bring any of that. They also had a couple beach chairs, big beach towels, and a boogie board. It definitely made our trip more enjoyable.
The host was very communicative and friendly. All in all, it was a great place and I highly recommend it for couples looking to get away.

Beautiful gated community to stay in. Don’t rely solely on the address from Google Maps; instead, use street names and house numbers to find the correct location. The guard at the gate can be difficult to deal with, so you’ll need to inform them beforehand if you have visitors, so they can be let in. The studio was the perfect size for my husband and me. It had everything we needed, including a private bathroom, kitchen, washer, dryer, and a large TV. You will hear footsteps and noise from the people staying in the house above, but you'll encounter the same in resorts or hotels. If you’ve never stayed in Oahu before, know that this is the farthest west side of the island. The neighboring city has many homeless people, rundown houses, stray dogs, and cats that run into the street. I didn’t feel comfortable or safe going to the nearby beach, restaurants, or shops. You’ll have to drive over an hour in traffic to reach Honolulu or the east side for nice shopping and tourist spots. This isn’t a fault of the stay—just a heads-up that while this community is beautiful, outside its gates it’s a very different world and not what we expected.
