Had a great time!

Danny is a great host from the area that can recommend fun things to do and will also take you surfing! Highly recommend surf classes, it’s a fun and easy day on the water.

The price was very fair, especially for Hawaii. The host was helpful and the location was good for us. But the room was a bit tired and could use some paint and deep cleaning. If you are a surfer guy the place is a bargain. But for a couple it may not be the best choice.

The little Makaha studio was perfect for us. It contained everything we needed and was right near our ohana on the west side of the island.

My husband and I loved our stay with Danny! The studio is a perfect base for day trips, the bed was nice and firm (exactly how we like it, we slept like babies), and we really enjoyed getting to know Danny, Malacai, and Reef a bit during our time there. Be sure to sign up for some surf lessons with Westside Surfing, too - my hubs and I were both absolute newbies but Danny and Malacai had us surfing in no time. What a treat!

We had such an Amazing time! Danny was so accommodating. Always available to give great recommendations. He made our stay very relaxed and easy. He even gave my son and his friend surfing lessons one day. We loved his friendly dog, Reef. This area was just what I needed away from the hustle and bustle of the city! I will definitely stay here anytime I visit Hawaii again.

Danny is awesome and chill! Even tho we arrived a bit later than expected at about 8 or 8:30 pm, he was outside to greet and welcome us and give us a quick rundown! It is a little cozy, but that was expected and it was nice for my wife and I on our honeymoon. This spot on the island is good for some hikes, long days at the beach without a ton of people. Danny also helped us surf! We had never even tried anything like it, but even so we were both able to stand up on a board!

Daniel was a really kind host with a lovely home, not far from some fantastic beaches and lovely walks. He and his gorgeous dog, Reef, made us really welcome and we also had a great surfing lesson with him. Makaha feels more Hawaiian and a lot less touristy we’re so glad we went to the West and spent a couple of days here. We were a British mum and teenage daughter travelling together and having read mixed reviews on the area weren’t sure what to expect but Daniel was great and we felt really comfortable staying in his home. Thank you Daniel and Reef for a fantastic Hawaiian experience.

We've used VRBO numerous times and this one ranks at the top. Wonderful experience with a great host. Danny treated us like family and his easy going laid back attitude even gave us the confidence to try surfing for the first time. Never thought we'd attempt it at our age but so happy and excited we gave it a shot. Great host and surf instructor. Would definitely stay with him again. Additional thanks to his friend Jay for the drone footage of our surfing attempt. Mahalo Danny for your aloha spirit

On residential property of owner, off of his garage area. Nice neighborhood, but general mahaka area has a lot of homeless people and it’s pretty run down. Owner is very social, and I’m not used to having social contact with Vrbo owners, or traveling alone, so that was kind of anxiety provoking. Otherwise I spent a vast amount of time with family on the island and came in late to the room/with good communication with the owner.

Danny and Reef were great hosts. We loved our two night stay.

Danny is not only a great surfing instructor but also an excellent and communicative host. He gave wonderful hiking and restaurant recommendations. Would definitely stay here again!

Danny and Reef were great hosts. We loved our two night stay.

Danny is the host with the most! Enjoyed every second of our stay. We love Danny! Room had everything we needed, plus a private beautiful patio. Just a quick walk to the beach!

We had a wonderful time. Danny's place is way out of the city, which was exactly what we wanted. He was helpful, kind, and made sure we had everything we needed. I would definitely stay with him again. Big bonus were Reef and the 2 cats that hung out with us, it made me able to miss my cats (a little) less.

We stayed here for 8 days ! My husband has back issues and he was worried about the bed . But it was great ! It has AC , a Keurig, a ceiling fan and a nice patio for your use . You park in the garage which is a nice perk . Danny was great ! Every restaurant he suggested was excellent ! We had a surf lesson with Danny and we were up on the board in no time. It is right down the road from a whale watching spot , surfing & snorkeling area . It really felt like paradise ! We came home to 10” of snow and we miss it already ! Thank you Danny !

My wife and I absolutely adored our week long stay here. The nearby beaches and parks are absolutely stunning, quiet, and great for surfing and playing in the waves. There's lot's of hikes, beaches, and great local cafe's and restaurants all within a 15 minute drive. The studio had everything we could ever have needed for a place to spend evenings after sunset. Danny was a great host, was quick to answer any and all of our questions, and had great recommendations for activities to do nearby. An added bonus was getting to pet and hangout with his beautiful dog whenever he was playing in the yard. Would definitely stay here again! Mahalo

Danny and his dog reef, were awesome! Danny is a local boy and knows all the great hidden spots around town. Don't forget to take his surfing lessons, you will be up and surfing in no time. His buddy Geno was my instructor and was amazing. I recommend an individual lesson to get the best opportunity for surfing.

Danny was a great host, quick responses. We loved the dog and neighborhood. Very close to Mahaka beach park. Nice backyard with grill & fire pit.

I visited Oahu for two weeks, and spent 6 nights at this studio. This was my second visit to Makaha. The location of the studio is great. Sunrise or sunset walks to beautiful beaches within minutes. The place is as described, has a comfortable bed, plenty of storage space and access to a fridge. The small deck provides a place to have meals and watch the stars at night. The kitchenette could use a dedicated light. I used my headlight to prepare food. Having the Keurig and microwave was great. It would have been wonderful to have a toaster and a blender to make smoothies. The studio has limited ventilation. It was often cooler outside than in the studio and I left the patio door open a few times to cool the place and cockroaches came inside. I wonder if the deck can be screened to prevent bugs from coming in. A deep clean is needed. The time between checkout and the next guest is only a few hours. I cleaned up a spill and picked up tons of dirt from the floor. The sink has a ring of mold. I cleaned all mugs and utensils before I used them since some were dirty. While I enjoyed my stay at the studio with a friendly host, I missed a full kitchen and will most likely stay somewhere else next time I visit Makaha.

It was exactly as advertised. Nice and quiet neighborhood. It’s a great place if you’re out and about all day and just want to rest at night.

This vrbo was perfect for the first half of our trip on Oahu. Thanks to our host Danny for all the great recommendations, we had a great hike, beach and restaurant to go to. The space was just what we needed. The bed was comfy! And happy it had AC. Location of the property was perfect, away from the main road and busyness of the town. But a short drive to an incredible beach. Danny and his dog reef were incredible hosts, so friendly and knowledgeable. 100% recommend this VRBO.

We had a great experience with Danny, he was an excellent host, and we really enjoyed getting surfing lessons from him as well!

Host was incredibly friendly, and the place was great for what I needed. Private garage apartment with fan, A/C and not far from town.

Check-In was very easy. Danny had messaged us before we arrived letting us know where things were and how to get in and was easily available to us. He was very welcoming when we are arrive, and also quite helpful in regards to what to do on the island, where to go to eat, places to try, etc. He was available when needed and also left us to do our thing. We had no issues while we stayed. The room was what we needed - a bed and bathroom and a place to relax at the end of the day and at the start of our mornings. There was coffee and a Keurig machine, which was nice for us to enjoy our mornings and relax before starting the day. There is an indoor and outdoor shower. There's a closet to hang your items, a laundry basket, drawers for your clothes, a microwave and some kitchen items if you are cooking while you stay. There's also a fridge we had available to store leftovers, water, etc. The beach is within walking distance. Sitting outside on the deck was a nice treat. The place is out of the way from most things, so if you want seclusion, it's the right spot. If you need a place to sleep and leave your items, it's the right place to stay. If you are not an early riser or a light sleeper, the roosters may bother you, but otherwise there was the breeze at night to cool off or there was an A/C machine. Danny's dog Reef is very friendly and would pop over to say hi to us. The room was clean and simple, which was just what we needed. Danny was very kind, funny, and helpful. He allowed us to use his beach chairs and had towels for us to use, as well as boogie boards for the beach, which was nice to have so we didn't have to either bring them ourselves or go out and buy them. We wanted a place to sleep at night, to relax in the morning, and to know that our things were safe while we were gone. It was exactly what we needed for our stay in Oahu. 5 Stars - Definitely would stay here again.

Property is within quick walking distance of a gorgeous beach with surfing. Host was attentive and has a great dog.

The room was perfect for what we were looking for in regards to accommodation and price. Comfortable bed, nice bathroom (although the shower/shower curtain needs a deep clean), quiet neighborhood, nice patio, no bugs in the room, and an AC unit that can turn the room into an icebox. There was parking in the garage and we had use of a large refrigerator, also in the garage, which was very handy for storing some food and drinks. Danny was super friendly (as was his dog Reef) and a great host. He gave us tips on where to hike and eat as well as gave us surfing lessons. We loved waking up, opening the patio doors and listening to the orchestra of birds. There is a beach that is only about a 3 minute walk away and was perfect for an evening or early morning stroll. Overall, we had a great stay here and will definitely book again in the future.

Sun, ocean, fresh air.

Danny is a great host. He also gave us great recommendations for exploring the beautiful island and for local restaurants. His dog Reef is really sweet. We really enjoyed our stay. Mahalo.

Way chill spot, Danny was great with area help for food beaches hikes Nice bed bathroom backyard birds and patio Studio style place

Danny is great, giving awesome tips and his dogs are absolutely amazing, making for a welcoming atmosphere. Danny was always available whenever we had questions or needed anything. We appreciated being able to park our car in the garage for free, thus not worrying about the car or anything in it. The neighbourhood is really quite and the house is only 1-2 minutes away from a beautiful beach. However, the place itself needs a deep, deep clean. Especially the bathroom, as the space beneath the counters was really dusty. I understand that we stayed at Danny's apparently during the cockroach mating season, as we encountered two roaches in our space and several more outside both dead and alive (once we saw them, we only opened up the door/window early in the morning to get some fresh air).
