Hands down. Best host ever. Daniel was fantastic and very helpful in getting to know the area. His surf lesson was very affordable and worth every penny. The area is not commercialized, so if you're looking to escape the city and want just a relaxing city to hang out in, then book here. The room has everything you need. A bed, AC unit, shower, toilet, and refrigerator/microwave. I would definitely stay here again if I visit Oahu.
The studio was nice, clean, and a perfect size for one or two people. Immediately felt like home and unko danny was kind, hospitable, and easy to get in touch with. for those not from the area, mākaha stay pretty far away from a lot of major conveniences and staying in the country does mean the occasional roach inside (canʻt necessarily be prevented) just so you are aware. the studio had everything i needed during my one week. it was a great value and i would stay again.

This is a great location for nearby beaches, surfing, and swimming in the ocean. Danny is a fine host, takes good care of his guests, and provides a quiet space for a comfortable visit to the Waianae coast. Aloha!
If we could give this studio 7 stars, we would! Anything it lacked in conveniences, Danny made up for in hospitality. From the time we landed he was in touch with directions, suggestions, and assistance. He was the perfect amount of helpful and respectful of our time and space. Every place he recommended seeing was amazing and every restaurant he suggested absolutely delicious.The studio itself was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The location was amazing. We were a short walk from a beautiful beach and loved being on the side of the island that kept us away from crowds and tourism. We felt like we got to see and enjoy “real Hawaii”. We would choose to stay here again and again. Thank you, Danny!
The hosts were very nice and helpful. Our studio apartment was very spacious and clean. The bed was extremely comfortable. It was nothing fancy but that was fine for us. The neighborhood was quiet and away from Honolulu (which is what we wanted). There was some rooster noise early in the mornings but with the air conditioning on, you couldn’t hear it. We were very pleased.

The studio is located in North-West Oahu. This is the "Real Hawaii". We liked it very much.
Because it is located an hour from the main airport, you will need to rent a car to stay in this part of Hawaii.
Warm and welcoming folks, they have good tips on where to go and spots to check out. They provide a cozy room where you can retreat after a day full of activities. The host also teach surfing lessons so dont hesitate to inquire.
This rental was exactly as described—a great base camp with all the listed amenities. The host was communicative and cordial, making the stay smooth and hassle-free. Perfect spot for our needs! Would stay again.

Although this was a very reasonable price, it was basically a room in the back of the landlord's garage. He was very congenial and willing to help, we felt a little confined.
Quiet neighborhood. Lovely beach right around the corner. Excellent hiking trail to albatross sanctuary nearby. Hosts were helpful and friendly. We enjoyed our stay!
Loved the little oasis on the west coast. The room was clean and had a comfortable feel about it. Danny was a great host and was very friendly and knowledgeable. Thank you for a great stay!

Our stay was great! And the communication with the host really easy, it’s a really nice place !
Danny’s place was exactly as advertised. He and Michelle looked after our needs and advised us where to eat and what sights to see. His dog Reef visited us often and he’s super friendly. All said, this place was exactly what we expected. Mahalo Danny and Michelle!
