Enjoyed being right on the beach beautiful sunsets and people. Lots of sand track inside but hey u in Hawaii on one of the most beautiful beaches where u can meet the locals
An amazing beach front location,property needs updating,homelessness is a nearby problem,overall was great.
Enjoyed our stay the view and the beach is prime, it can’t get better. It is a public beach with late “fishers” but we had nothing to worry about we felt very comfortable leaving our outside door open. No air conditioning which we weren’t used to but there were a lot of fans to use. Everything you need is there plenty of towels, chairs, umbrellas. we’d stay again the price was worth what we got. The owner does warn not to leave food out and we would recommend that as well, keep everything in fridge nothing in sink and empty garbage frequently, there were a few big cockroaches BUT for the view, the beach and the price it’s still well worth it.
I’m not sure how this place has the rating it does. The owner waited until 4 days before our stay to notify me about a change in Hawaii laws so I didn’t have an option to rebook. It was late when we got in so we didn’t notice until the next morning that You have to drive through a very sketchy neighborhood to get here and the beaches are lined with homeless camps. That first night, we noticed a couple small bugs and ants but chalked it up to tropical climate. That is until we started to bring in our groceries. As soon as the food came out so did the roaches and ants and we were ultimately unable to cook or eat in the unit. The neighbors blasted music or loud cars from the busy road could be heard roaring by the condo at all hours. My young daughter hid inside from nosy neighbors who kept looking into our windows and yelling into the unit. We had to keep the curtains closed. There was a homeless set up about 100ft from the porch which a resident told us to becareful because they’re known to rob people on the first floor so despite being on the beach, we never got to enjoy it. At one point my daughter went to open a towel to dry off and a roach flew out and a giant roach planted itself on the night stand by the bed. We ran away from this place as soon as we could find a hotel with vacancy. I tired to contact owner but got no response. DO NOT BOOK THIS PLACE!!!! I have photos to prove my review.
We loved being able to take 50 steps into the ocean.
Great property. Fabulous location, away from the tourists. Thank you for making sure there were coffee filter papers in the cupboard. Being on the ground floor, walking from the beach directly into the apartment means lots of sand gets walked in, too. A low foot bucket to be filled with water and placed outside the back door would be most useful to wash sand off before entering the apt. Also one extra mat to collect any sand/ dry feet as we walked in would be useful. Soap and shampoo in the bathroom needs to be replenished. It was fortunate I had my own with me. Minor details which would make the whole experience of staying in this apartment perfect.
Our first visit to Hawaii was great. The room at Makaha Condos was just as described. It was very nice waking up and walking out onto the beach. The sunsets in the evening were amazing. The water and beach were clean and very clear. We were visited by a seal that swam up on the beach to get some sun. We saw some sea turtles swimming just off the beach. The climb up Turtle Rock was incredible. That was just the stuff we did at the room. The property manager was excellent to deal with and communicated well.
The condo was exactly as pictured. Everything was clean and ready for our stay. The other guests and residents were friendly and welcoming. The staff we met were helpful and full of great stories. Kenike was awesome to work with. Already planning our 2020 visit.
This was the 6th year in a row we stayed at one of the Makaha Beach Cabanas. First time on ground floor with walk out onto beach.
Owner was very responsive to various issues that came up during our stay. Cabana could benefit from some upgrades to make stay even more enjoyable such as seat cushions on lanai chairs, additional beach chairs, updated linens and cutlery. Would definitely stay again at this cabana.
