Stay was nice! It was a good deal for having a kitchen. It’s a bit of a drive to the city (1hour on most days). Security was nice but parking was kind of a pain. it’s not necessarily a party scene if that is what you’re looking for choose another spot.

The condo is listed as “elite” but there is nothing elite about this place. The place is very dated, minimal renovations, annoying check in process, far drive to anything. We got an email to “remove shoes due to white carpet” the carpet is brown with a million stains which are covered up with indoor/outdoor rugs. Just don’t peel them back, you’ll be in for a grimy surprise. The shower curtain was moldy, we contacted host and she sent someone over to change shower curtain- that was nice but it didn’t change the rest of the grimy condo. Mold, rust everywhere. The vent was constantly blowing dust, dirt, hair and stuff which make the place dusty and yucky feeling. The check in process is also a pain. Check in is at 4pm, but the office closes at 5pm to get a parking permit so place your arrival accordingly. We then had to have $50 cash deposit for parking pass. Fine- not a big deal but we checked out before 8am to catch our flight and nobody is in the office before 8am making it a loss of money. So note hours are 8am-5pm. The dishes were also not clean and the dish rack that holds the “clean dishes” was dirty- I washed the rack. I dusted the vents, and slept on top of the sheets knowing the cleanliness is lacking. If we knew what we knew now we would not have booked it. The pictures are deceiving. Pay a little more and have a nice clean relaxing stay, and stay closer to anything else… this is at the end of a road- so the only way out of the west shore is to back track. No fun.

Friendly secure quiet

The condo was dirty and the pool and BBQ deck were closed. This was not communicated to us before or during our stay and the only reason we booked this condo- was for the pool. Our disappointment was communicated to the owners with zero resolution and they seemingly did not care.

Views from the balcony overlooking the valley and the ocean were second to none. Condo itself was clean and modern and everything you need for a relaxing stay.

Bathtub had mildew. Room rugs were bunched up and the corners were rolled up to cause tripping hazard. I did notifiy owner of these. Room could stand to have a good cleaning.

Nice stay with a GREAT view. If you are wanting an experience that is disconnected from the main cities, this condo in a great little location. Close to the beach with lots of wild peacocks/wildlife. Ps - make sure you bring personal care products and larger beach towels.

Awesome

Really enjoyed the view and the comfort of this place. Close to Makaha Beach. Loved staying here...

Love the Makaha Valley area. The locals say “west is best”! We agree. Beautiful, uncrowded beaches and great sunsets. Not the first time we’ve stayed here. Won’t be the last.

Lovely

Great view, great pool, owner very accommodating!

The check in process was easy but takes a while, though the office staff and security were very kind and helpful. The condo was very clean and beautiful, and all utilities were provided. There is even a shared laundry area. Plus, quick access to gas, food, and shopping, and a short drive from some of the most beautiful beaches on Oahu. Definitely a great place to stay! 11/10

Our stay at this property in Makaha Valley was incredible😀 Vanessa was the perfect host right from the start, with great communications and allowing us an early checkin. The condo was spotless and had all the amenities we needed. The saltwater pool and property is kept super clean by the friendly and very helpful staff. The beautiful peacocks that live on property are entertaining and even seem to abide with the quiet time rules😀 With bus service here and close proximity to great beaches and restaurants, we would highly recommend this condo and will definitely return! Thank you Vanessa for sharing your little slice of heaven with us🙏💕🥂

This stay started out inconvenient and got worse from there. Upon arrival the check in process is confusing and inconvenient. (be prepaired to furnish $50.00 cash deposit for parking pass) Once checked in we found the place had not been cleaned from the previous renters and when I went to the office I was told I have to deal with the owner as they only do the check in and have nothing to do with maintenance. When I called the owner I was told there was a miscommunication with the cleaner and she could not have the place cleaned. She told us where the spare bedding was and we could make our own bed and pile the dirty towels and bedding up for retrieval later. She did refund our cleaning fee. This property is in a very run down condition with the dresser drawers will not close from being off track. The mirror that belongs on the dresser is sitting on the floor leaning against the wall and the carpet is filthy with many stains. The owner has tried to cover the dirty carpet with several area rugs that have the corners curled up causing my wife to trip several times. The TV is so confusing that we never could get it to work for local stations or cable. The ROKU did work to watch movies. It would help if the owner would leave a phamphlet to explain how the TV works, Where the laundry is and how to get a card for the washer/dryer, How to get to the pool. Overall I could not with clear concience recoment this property.

Great views, condo was clean and the bed was very comfortable.

If you are looking for something outside of the big city this is your spot. Excellent experience. Very close to beautiful beach spots. Very well kept grounds, excellent and helpful staff, clean room with great views. Check in process was very smooth and would definitely stay here again. The room is equipped with everything you need. 100% recommend.

This place is within a condominium building that has security at the gate and requires permit to come in. The person renting the apartment is required to fill out the form and submit it to the security office in order for you to be able to get through the gate and park there. There are peacocks roaming the gardens and parking lot. Quiet area. The only amenity is the swimming pool. The location, even though it’s close to North Shore, is not accessible because one would need to drive towards the city Honolulu in order to take the freeway back up north and reach North Shore. The distance is only 12 - 20 miles but because there is no access it takes 1 hr to drive there. The beaches around the area of this apartment is populated by homeless camps. This apartment building is really an Oasis. Once you enter the grounds you feel like in a total different world. Kind people, kind staff. I recommend.

Thanks for letting us to stay there.

I have been using vrbo for 10+ years for every vacation I take and there are many. This is my first experience with a listing that was so grossly misrepresented and the owner lied to the vrbo customer service about it too. The location for starters is as other reviewers mentioned BAD not just ok this isn't great, no, it is that you need to drive an hour to feel comfortable going to the grocery store bad. The location I was willing to compromise on as long as the stay was fine, but this was also not the case. The images listed are extremely misrepresented, everything was moldy, rusted, stained, dirty or just flat out different than the pictures. The shower was absolutely repulsive with black mold on all the fixtures, the vents are all missing filters and are oozing with buildup, rug is stained and gross, fridge is covered in rust, plates and cups were stained and dirty, we found roaches everywhere, bed lines are nothing like pictures and look like they came from a 15 yr olds room with pilling and stains.... I know I am forgetting some too. When we addressed these issues with the owner they said it was clean and would not refund the money for the rest of the days when we left night 1. You will be much happier to stay literally anywhere else!

Awesome property. Only unfavorable thing is the fact that its in Wainaea. Alot of homeless in the area. If you rent this property definitely going to want to rent a car (cheaper if you dont rent from airport). Property is 1 hr 20 mins from north shore. 1 hr 30 mins from sealife park. 55 mins from airport. 1 hr 15 mins from waikiki.

Needs a few updates but over all not bad. The birds are great! Just peacocks and they don’t interrupt your sleep. We had a good time for the price.

We liked the studio, but we loved the view. Honestly, the area is a tad sketchy, alot of unhoused, but the building is quite secluded. The pool is lovely, and the staff are wonderful.

Beautiful views. If you’re looking to stay away from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki and more touristy areas, this place is great. The condo had everything we needed - but lacked hangers. Laundry was easy to access and on every floor. Staff at the complex was very friendly. Be aware: if you don’t like the sound of birds for whatever reason, this may not be your slice of heaven. There are many peacocks and obviously other birds in the area that love to chat. However, if you sleep like a rock, don’t worry. 10/10 recommend. Make sure you check out Ka’ena Point State Park.

My stay was great I knew regardless of where I was staying I would have to travel and needed a rental. Parking was great with permit and only a $50 refundable deposit. Waking up being able to sit on the balcony and have a cup of coffee or at night having a night cap was awesome! Didn't realize the microwave was in the closet but good to know for next time. Communication was good and Vanessa was very pleasant when we interacted. I wasn't sure what the negative reviews were about I didn't experice any of the things they spoke about but I would say the place could use either a ceiling fan or a swivel fan to help keep cool due to the windows and natural light I have having to run the electricity as much. But there were some lovely nights!

The host has no interest in helping with check in process. Took 1.5 hours to check in at 10pm. The condo was filthy, the oven did not work, there was n microwave and the birds are incredibly noisy. It was a horrible experience and we actually left after 1 night.

The place was great. A bit of a hiccup accessing the property and waiting for security clearance but took only a short amount of time. The place was fairly clean and organized. No complaints. Location was our only concern. The property is in a valley off the main road which was quiet, clean and secluded. It was nice itself but just the closest main road was full of homeless people, tents, and many Individuals running down the streets high on drugs. We did not feel comfortable going to any of the near beaches. There were no nice restaurants close by again because of the local population. We had to do a lot of travelling to enjoy any nicer parts of the island. Locals were even suprised when we told them what part of the island we were staying on. Would highly recommend staying anywhere BUT the west coast! Overall if u don’t want to go out/tour a lot it would be a great place to stay.

The staff was very nice and friendly. The view around the area is amazing.
