About this property

BEACH FRONT Paradise With A/C, Pool & Jet Tub


House, 5 Bedrooms + Den, 4.5 Baths, Central A/C (Sleeps from 2-16)

~Special COVID 19 cancellation/full refund policy available. Please see details in Rental Agreement.

-Concierge and Grocery Shopping Services Provided Upon Request

5 bdrm 4.5 bath home with Central AC, waterfall, private solar heated lagoon pool & jet tub, and private gated entrance, private enclosed parking for 2 cars with further private parking for up to 6 cars. The house is over 5,000 sq ft and sleeps up to 16.

This beautiful home is located with a view of the world famous Makaha Surf Beach, which is where surf and canoe contests are held throughout the year. In the 1960s Makaha was the epicenter for big-wave surfing. It was where the groundwork was laid for surfing contests in Hawaii and all over the world. As opposed to the North Shore of Oahu where the surf is also renowned, one does not have to contend with traffic in Makaha from tourist buses and crowds. Makaha is still untouched and the perfect destination for visitors who want to experience the Hawaii of long ago, while still being on the same island where all of the top restaurants and shops are.

Immediately in front of the property is a small white sand beach, interesting reef and tidal pools and two spectacular blow holes.

Since this home is on the water and in line with the cool breezes that come down from Makaha Valley, and since this is a newer home achitecturally designed to ensure cool comfortable living, although AC is available, it's best to keep the windows and doors open to enjoy the delicious tropical air Hawaii is known for.

The property is near the new Aulani Disney resort, Ko'Olina Four Seasons Hotel & Resort, world class golf courses, lots of dining and shopping options, and the perfect setting for a multitude of outdoor sports (surfing, paddle boarding, canoe, kayaking, snorkeling, boating, swimming with dolphins, hiking) There are daily sightings of turtles and dolphins just feet away from the shoreline, along with the seasonal sight of whales directly in front of the house.

The 360 degree view of both the mountains and ocean are breathtaking. At night visitors will enjoy a rare sight of a multitude of stars from the upper deck. This custom designed home and professionally landscaped property is very private, pristine and comfortable.

Rates will vary depending upon the number in your party, the length of your stay, and the season.

It is located 35 mins from the airport, 10 mins from the nearest hospital, 5 mins from a choice of 3 supermarkets, and management is a few doors down the street.

CURRENT CANCELLATION POLICY
The reason for our current cancellation policy is due to people booking and then canceling within a month or two, which causes issues for us to re-book within that amount of time frame, since w do offer our guests time to make payments if need be. With that said, our POLICY is to refund 2/3rd of the full price of the stay, which leaves 1/3 is non-refundable if you cancel two months before your stay. Instead losing any funds, you can be credited for another date in the future that is not booked if you do decide to cancel.

Makaha Paradise

Ocean waves lapping on the shore 24/7. Sea turtle and whale sightings every day. Perfect sized pool for our grandkids ages 4-11. Rooftop deck great for viewing nighttime stars. Plenty of parking spaces. Incredible sunsets. Master bedroom has sliding glass door onto deck and ocean. We loved every minute of our stay.

Amazing sunsets and easy walk to beaches

We had a fantastic family reunion at this wonderful home, accommodating ages ranging from 74 to 6. The adults thoroughly enjoyed the breathtaking sunsets, while the kids had a blast in the pool. Everyone loved the convenience of being able to walk to the beach right from the house. Since it was the first time for most of the family to visit Oahu, they were absolutely delighted to spot sea turtles from the balcony and encounter them at the nearby beaches. The sunsets were truly mesmerizing, and we made it a point to gather every evening to appreciate their beauty. Needless to say, we captured countless Instagram-worthy sunset photos and even created some stunning time lapse videos. Thanks Yong! Hope to make it back someday

A PRICELESS VIEW!

We had our family (10 total) stay there for vacation. We were so happy with the place and the pictures do not do justice on how great the view and location is. Some nights I had to close the window because you are so close to the ocean. We were planning to stay 7 nights and then move to Honolulu, but loved it so much there that we extended the 2 days and skipped Honolulu. Why go to Honolulu when you can pretty much grill your own meals and have the same view as Dukes? It was hard to leave. Also, Mari was very friendly and would always respond and answer calls if there were any concerns. We had a few requests during the trip and she was able to fulfill them right away. If you want a place to get 100% enjoyment of the island, I highly recommend this place.

Great property for large or multiple families

We really enjoyed this rental for 12 days in February. The property is very well stocked if you want to do some gourmet cooking. Tons of beach chairs, coolers and toys. There was even a basket of sunscreens. The views of the ocean are unbeatable - whales going by all day long. Makaha beach to the north is a 2-minute walk and gets pretty big surf. We found the beach a short drive to the south to be more suitable for some younger children in our party. I can't speak highly enough of the property manager and her local manager. They were so responsive and had fantastic suggestions for how to spend our time. This side of the island is very quiet and about an hour drive to Honolulu or the North Shore. We went on a few day trips but mostly stayed close to home. Lots of great hikes nearby as well. Overall, I highly recommend this property if you want to get away from the crowds and stay in an area that is authentic Hawaii.

Aloha Anna. It was a true pleasure to have such adventurous guests at our property and I thank you for prompting me to look into such things as horseback riding in the area, which was fun to discover is quite popular among visitors and locals alike. I'm glad that you also discovered Pokai Bay during your visit, which is a short drive away and perfect for swimming and surfing. For the reader, I want to take this opportunity to mention that the waves at Makaha Beach and other beaches that are just a 2-minute walk from the property can sometimes have bigger waves one day and the next day be as calm as a lake. So it just depends on the conditions. But the beauty of this coastline is that you have a multitude of choices. Many thanks again for choosing our property. We hope to welcome you again one day!

Awesome Stay

We loved loved loved our stay! The house and hosts/property manager were amazing. The pictures do not do it justice. We had plenty of space, plenty of amenities, and would definitely stay again. We loved the public beach close by. The only reason I do not give this property a perfect score is because of the location on the island. We felt safe in the house and going to beach however it is a must to lock all doors ..the surrounding area leading up to property is definitely sketchy. We have never been to Oahu so I was told the actual entire island you have to be super careful as there is A LOT of theft.. this area particular. We were told multiple times by multiple people the area around is not the greatest. The house is covered in security features and we had no issues but if you are not comfortable with driving or staying in a questionable area..this part of the island may not be for you. I myself felt the host exceeded in trying to make the house feel safe so I would stay here again..but we definitely had a lot of conversations with our kids regarding safety and different life styles which at the end of the day is not a bad thing..it was just unexpected. This location is about an hour away from anything touristy….which is good and bad. We just had to plan everything around that. Overall..looking back at our stay..I preferred that anyways.

Beautiful vacation

Makaha Beach house was exceptional! Our multi generation family was able to spread out and fit comfortably. The children thoroughly enjoyed the pools and the grounds of the house. The views are amazing! We saw turtles, whales, seals, so many interesting things. The location is a bit far from popular tourist spot but it wasn’t as big of deal because we enjoyed seeing the local life and getting to know the locals. Definitely hope to have the opportunity to stay here again. John and Yong were available whenever we needed them and super responsively with everything. Daryl was also very helpful! Thank you for making our dream vacation possible!

Perfect home for large, extended family getaway

The pictures tell it all. House was incredible, perfect for our large family vacation ages ranging from 17-80, 11 of us total. We did not want to leave. It is large enough for everyone to spread out for the occasional much needed alone time, but capable for everyone to be together, too. Mari is the most gracious hostess, answered all our questions promptly during our 1.5 year planning stage and all the way to the end of our stay. We would definitely recommend! Thank you, Mari!!

Hotel quality

This property has an amazing local vibe. it is a 5 minute walk from a cove where turtles swim and you can watch the sun set. It is centrally located so you can drive to the sights and Honolulu and the North shore in less than an hour. it is close to boat excursions, Disney, and some amazing beaches. Makua beach is a hidden gem , 4 miles away and not crowded. There is everything you need at the house for beach trips and a well stocked kitchen. The house is every bit as beautiful as the pictures show. The bedding is hotel quality and the rooms big and light. There were 12 of us and after a big family breakfast we would take separate day trips, meeting back at the house for time in the pool and to sit on the deck and enjoy the ocean and sunset. We all went to Germaine's luau, less than 25 minute drive and well worth it. Great house, Great trip!

A Perfect Dream!

After planning our trip for 4 years and having to put it off each year for one reason or another (including COVID), fifteen members of my family stayed in a perfect house to make my 70th birthday dream come true. The house is large enough for every family to have its own space, somewhat isolated from the other families. We were able to meet for meals and games with children but have privacy when we wanted it. The outdoor areas are delightful--the long upper porch and the pool patio were our favorite places to hang out at meals. Don't let the map frighten you away. True, the location is a little far from North Shore and from Honolulu, but the drive wasn't bad, and we were always glad to get back to the gorgeous house, which felt like home from the minute we first entered. The host is wonderful--so helpful and friendly. The trip was a long time coming, but she was with us to patiently answer all our questions through all the plans that had to be canceled, changed, and rearranged. Stay here and your Hawaii dreams can come true, too!

Phenomenal Host and Home

We have used VRBO since its inception in 1995 This property is without a doubt the best property, location, and host we have ever experienced. We split up our week with island excursions including swimming with dolphins and turtles, parasailing, outrigger canoe surfing, Kualoa Ranch (Jurassic Park), Oahu's North Shore, and Waikiki, and my family totally agreed that the complete days we spent at this house were the best days of our trip. To be able to relax in the pool and surrounding decks was incredible. Mari, the host made certain everything was perfect for our visit. We spoke via text with any question we may have had concerning local restaurants, food shopping, etc., and she was spot on with her answers, she was very prompt with her replies. If you are planning a trip to Oahu, this property needs to be at the top of your list. However, be patient as it is booked out for some time to come but trust me, it is worth the wait.

Unforgettable Sunsets, Spacious Home & Great Owner

We loved this house which perfectly fit our multigenerational family. It was spacious, well stocked, and well maintained. Mari is wonderful! She is super helpful, a great communicator, and responds quickly to questions or problems. We loved the backyard pool and jetted tub. We enjoyed lounging on the pool chaises in complete privacy as the property is nicely gated. We ate dinner outside every night in order to observe the gorgeous sunsets and hear ocean waves crashing against the rocks. Our family enjoyed this little slice of heaven in a local neighborhood. We took long walks around the area, visited Turtle beach, and explored other local beaches. We visited nearby Kahumana Farms twice for their farmers market and farm-to-table experience. We were looking for a spacious home where our family could reconnect after a year apart and also enjoy the beauty of our surroundings. Mari's Makaha home fit the bill perfectly! Can't wait to return! Thank you for everything, Mari!

The Most Amazing Stay!

What can I say about this property? It was the most amazing stay. We had two families, with 8 kids ages 10 and under, and there was room to spare! The house was immaculate, Mari is super responsive and sweet and made us feel right at home, and the views and yard are spectacular. Right down the road is a trail that leads to turtles! The yard is completely fenced and gated so it feels like your own compound, which is perfect when you have little ones playing outside. The neighborhood is quiet and you will be among locals...hardly any tourists around here. For us, that was perfect because we wanted to be isolated with the pandemic going on. The kitchen is fully stocked and there’s even a second kitchen downstairs which was great. The garage was stocked with any and all beach toys you could ever need and the kids were in heaven with the boogie boards! Overall we could not be more happy with our stay here and would love to come back and stay next time we are on Oahu. Thank you Mari!

65th Anniversary

Our family gathered together to celebrate my parent's 65th wedding anniversary and this Makaha home set a beautiful backdrop for their Vow Renewal Ceremony. The home held 13 adults and 3 children comfortably and provided all the amenities we needed. The top deck was the perfect spot to star gaze at night and the pool was constantly in use by all. The sunsets were beautiful and we watched them daily. Mari was very helpful in providing us with the information we needed and kept in touch during our stay to make sure that everything was going well.

Great house and view

We had a great week staying here. The house was really clean and had a great view. The owner was very helpful and a pleasure to work with. The house is on the locals side of the island and not in an upscale tourist location. The kitchen upstairs was fully stocked but the one downstairs could use a few more utensils and supplies. All the beach equipment being available for us to use was a really nice bonus.

Everything we hoped for

We had a great 7 day stay! The house suited us very well. Although we were not able to meet her personally, Mari was wonderful through the whole process… from booking, making our payments, answering all our questions, giving us suggestions as to what to do and see, helping us secure a baby-sitter, and expeditiously returning our security deposit. We were looking for a house that 1. Could accommodate our whole family in a single place. We had 8 adults and 8 kids, ages 6 months to 11 years old. 2. Had an ocean view 3. Had a swimming pool 4. Was close (short walking distance) to beaches This house filled the bill perfectly! Everyone thought it was ideal. These are the things we liked about the property: • The grounds are beautiful (The pictures in the listing accurately show what it looks like) • Great view! The ocean waves crash on its rocky beach o We saw whales migrating by. Some even breached. o Turtles swam around the rocky beach • The pool was very nice and accommodated us well. The waterfall is lovely. • Makaha Beach is a very short walk away to the north • Aki’s Beach (I think that is the name) is a very short walk away to the south. The neighbors were calling it turtle beach or turtle cove. We could see turtles swimming around and in the late afternoon a couple came out on the beach and sunned themselves • The house had enough room for our whole group to sleep, eat, and congregate comfortably • The property is not in a resort/tourist area. It is in a primarily residential area. But there are a lot of things nearby o This may not be to everyone’s liking, but it suited us well and all of the adults felt this was a huge positive. Even though we were there during mainland spring break, the beaches nearby had very few people there. o The harbor, about a 10 minute drive away, had snorkeling adventures and surfing lessons available, which some of us took advantage of o Luau at Paradise Cove is about a 25 minute drive away

A perfect dream vacation for our family of 10

My wife and I wanted to celebrate our 50th with our two daughter’s families in paradise. Everything, including the sunsets, was just as it was shown in the listing. The house was perfect. The weather was great. And the beaches and snorkeling fantastic. Even had two rare seal sightings 10 ft from shore on Makaha beach. Honu swam right next to my daughters at Makaha beach, and we sighted them daily. We have some great memories and want to go back.

Exceeded my expectations

I had a wonderful experience from beginning to end. My interactions with Mari were pleasant and extremely helpful. Having someone who is familiar with the area and willing to help proved to be invaluable. Thanks Mari! I found the house to be immaculate inside and out. The rooms are very spacious with plenty of closet space. The living area is filled with comfortable furniture that is arranged perfectly to provide an excellent view of the beach. We took full advantage of both kitchens and was pleasantly surprised to find the upstairs kitchen was fully stocked with all the spices and utensils needed to prepare our meals. If you, like me, prefer to cook outdoors, the barbeque grill is large, clean and ready to go. I was able to cook four large steaks, corn on the cob, three large Portobello mushrooms and asparagus simultaneously. The ceiling fans throughout the house kept us cool at night which allowed us to turn off the A/C and enjoy the sound of the waves crashing on the shoreline. The second floor deck provides the perfect place to enjoy meals and take in the beautiful sunsets. There’s an exterior spiral staircase which leads to the upper deck that provides a great view of the stars at night and the lush mountains during the day. There were plenty of lounge chairs on both decks and around the pool to relax on and perfect one’s tan or enjoy a good book. The nearby beaches were practically empty and the storage room stocked with boogie boards, snorkels, fins, goggles, and ice chests came in handy on our day trips to the beach. I will definitely return to this gorgeous house when I return to Oahu.

Great comfortable spacious place :-)

Some friends and I decided to forgo the hotel scene this year and rented this vacation house on Oahu. It turned out to be a great idea. We had this huge clean house right on the beach, away from all the tourist nonsense in Waikiki. Yet could still be in Honolulu or North shore within an hour. We had two kitchens and a barbecue which enabled us to eat healthier, it was much less expensive as well. We had a fabulous golf course 5 minutes away that was super reasonable, with very few others on it and we had great beaches near us to surf or snorkel. We will definitely return someday and next time bring a few more friends, as it could accommodate more people quite easily. Oh, and the upper deck was a fabulous way to end each day star gazing. This is definitely the way to hang out in Oahu!

You won't get better sunsets!

This place was fantastic! My husband and I decided to take my parents to Oahu for their 50th wedding Anniversary, as well as my Aunt and Uncle...for their 52nd Anniversary and my Mother-in-law, for her 72nd birthday. When looking online, it was overwhelming to try and find something that would accommodate all of us and allow us all to be together, yet have our own space. Then, my husband came across this listing. When I initially reached out to Mari, she responded immediately and was SO helpful throughout the entire process. It was so important for me to make this trip "special" for our families and Mari helped me do that every step of the way. She was in constant communication before the trip, sending us links on things to do and where to go. While we were there, if I had a question, she responded immediately. The girls that take care of the day to day things at the house were absolutely fantastic. Mari and her team were nothing short of amazing. I was really impressed. This home is located on the "country" side of the island, so it's away from the hustle and bustle of downtown. It is peaceful and quiet and the views are UNBELIVABLE! You get the mountains and the ocean all in one place. The house was stocked with everything you could need to go to the beach or cook with or to lounge around the pool. We bought all kinds of things at Costco that we didn't need like spices, toilet paper, etc. It's all there. My husband and I travel a decent amount an enjoy seeing new places. We are so grateful that we had the opportunity to take our families here and make special memories together. Whether it was exploring the island together, visiting the beaches, swimming in the pool or just sitting on the balcony together taking it all in...it was all amazing. My family called it "Their trip of a Lifetime". That means more to me than I can even put into words. I thank Mari and her staff again for being a part of such a significant time in our lives. Mahalo!
