We come to Hawaii yearly and do a different island each year. This condo was absolutely beautiful, very convenient and very helpful staff at the office. As for the condo, it was very well stocked and by far the most comfortable bed, we’ve stayed in in any of our trips to Hawaii. There’s also some gorgeous beaches, nearby and owners of other units that reside on the property. We’re very friendly and helpful with tips of things to do in places to go.
Very nice, clean condo. My favorite part was the view—both mountains and ocean. Loved the beautiful grounds with roaming peacocks. They really do a great job keeping this place maintained. It is an oasis on the west side.
We stay at Makaha Towers whenever we are in Oahu, It is a great deal for what you get. The views never get old! The towers now however require a daily parking fee of 15 unless you stay for 30 days. So I would advise inquiring if your unit comes with “primary” parking, otherwise you pay for the privilege of hiking back and forth to your car in non-primary areas (not good). Otherwise it’s a great deal if you don’t mind driving a litttle further for your activities in the city!
Check in was fine the unit was clean and as advertised. Had a couple of issues with water and toilet. Advised owner and he responded quickly. We thought the dishes and cutlery were.a little skimpy for a unit the can sleep four.
We've had a great time staying in this condo. We got double gorgeous views: the valley and the ocean. Check-in was easy, the condo was super clean when we got in and looked exactly as advertised; thank you Ken! There were so many wild peacocks roaming around the area and that was a plus, they can be loud but we sleep no problem, had our earplugs with us. The kitchen was well stocked. There are also local grocery store not too far away from the condo. Overall, we love and enjoyed our stay in MVT, thank you once again Ken for making our stay wonderful.
Beautiful view and close to the beach. Very clean, fully equipped kitchen.
The condo was beautiful and really met our needs during our trip. Makaha beach is right down the road and was wonderful!
Condo was very clean and well furnished! Extra bedding/blankets, towels for the beach and chairs as well, things you don't often find in VRBO's. Loved the location, it was exactly what I was hoping it would be for our vacation. Upper west side of the island, quiet and the beaches were great and just down at the bottom of the hill, not very touristy at all. Just know traffic can be awful on the H1 at times, and a 40-45 min drive could be an additional 20-40 min depending on time of day and if there is construction work going on. We live out in the country so for us the drive wasn't a big deal since we have to drive. Makaha Valley Towers community was awesome, loved the peacocks and the view is AMAZING! I sent a couple of messages to Ken for info and he responded immediately. Would recommend this stay in a heartbeat if you don't mind the drive, but again, this was EXACTLY what we were looking for. Thank you Ken!
Great location and updated residence. Location is close distance to beaches.
Was a very nice property! Enjoyed the stay!
This immense and iconic apartment complex is immaculately kept particularly for its age. Ken's unit is clean and tidy. This complex offers 24/7 security and commanding views of the beautiful landscape from ocean to hilltop. Great amenities such as pool, reasonable parking fees, laundry facilities, and an incredibly friendly staff.
Condo is very nice and overall a great stay. The condo itself is 5 stars. Pros-Gorgeous and updated-Comfortable beds-CleanCons-There isn’t a washer or dryer in the unit. Figuring out how to use the common machines is difficult.-The cable doesn’t work on the TV, we were able to cast movies and shows from our phones -Poor communication with the property manager when we texted about the issues -parking is an issue and make sure if you are leaving on a weekend that you return your parking pass before otherwise getting your 100’s is a problemAlso, be aware that there is no shampoo, conditioner, or body soup. Bring your own! This condo is on the west side and there are a lot of homeless people along the beaches. This is very sad and most of them are displaced natives and many with families. Finally, it takes at least 30 minutes to get just about anywhere and traffic is a problem. There is an amazing beach if you stay on the main road all the way to the end along with an amazing hike. We also loved swimming with the dolphins and snorkeling with turtles in this area. We liked being away from the Waikīkī crowds and the more quiet environment. Great vacation and hope this info helps!
We started for a four night trip in January. The condo was comfortable and well stocked (especially the kitchen). Ken was a great host and allowed us to check in early, which was super helpful. The waves were a little rough for swimming at this time of year, but the beaches were beautiful and the condo was a great "base camp" to explore the island. We didn't know before coming that we can't drive from Makaha directly to the northern shore so that is something we'll consider for future trips, if we're lucky enough to return. However, a little planning was all it took to have a great time.
The property was lovely. To be able to go to sleep and wake up in a quiet area was very cathartic for the body and mind. The room facilities were great enabling self catering with ease. The bed was very comfortable and extremely big! Hardly many people on site making it very peaceful. The on site security were very helpful on the whole however the listing should really provide a bit more information on costings. Whilst I understand it’s not under the hosts direct control it enables people to consider options / budgets.The views were magnificent and a great base to go exploring the local area whether by vehicle or by foot to the local beaches. A good spot to go running for those avid runners!
Very clean with an amazing view of the valley and the ocean!
The condo was amazing and had everything we needed to feel at home. Loved waking up to the amazing view from bed!
We loved everything about this place. We wanted to stay somewhere away from Waikīkī and the resort type hotels at Ko Olina and this place was great! We loved waking up to our ocean & mountain view each morning. So many fun things to see as we left the property each day…peacocks, chickens, roosters, and huge cacti that grow just across from the property. Parking was quick and easy. The apartment was clean and what we expected from the pictures and description. The murphy bed in the extra room was perfect for our 10 year old. It was much more comfortable than a pull-out couch. We were so happy with our stay and would definitely rent again.

The pictures do not even do this place justice. It was soooooo beautiful and wonderful. We had the very best time. Everything was clean in beautiful condition. We had absolutely everything we needed and more. We really loved our stay and would love to come again! My four year old cried when we had to leave and said, but this is our home!!! We really truly loved it! Thank you, Ken!
My family and me was before in this towers. we like a lot Makaha beach and location of this place,
But $15 it's too much money for parking, more than I pay for parking lot at the Airport. And it's should be say in the description not very bottom in the amendment.
Overall I say good .
parking $15
We really enjoyed staying at this beautiful condo. We had an amazing time and had everything we needed. We would come back in a heartbeat!
A quiet, clean, relaxing place to base yourselves for exploring Oahu. Ken was super helpful - thanks!
The beach is only 3 minutes away from the condo. I highly recommend if you are stay at this condo to rent a car because everything is like 15 to 30 minutes away and when you rent a car make sure that registration and inspection for the car is good because if not you won’t be able to get in at the condo. I rented a car from Budget and it was expired the inspection and i couldn’t get in so i went back to budget and they switched cars for me. I love that this condo has 24 security guards it was super safe. And the view is amazing you can see peacocks everywhere. You have to pay for parking and make a deposit that I didn’t mind also it has to be cash for the parking. We stayed July 04 - July 13, 2024. My daughters and I love it
Really nice place. We found it difficult to get an apartment with two bedrooms at a reasonable price, so this was a winner for us. Spacious and spotlessly clean. Looked like it was newly decorated and tastefully done. Large, well equipped kitchen with easy to operate appliances. Great shower and big, fluffy towels. We had everything we could have wanted. Thank you very much.
We loved our stay at Ken's property in Makaha. The unit was lovely, updated and clean. It had everything we needed for our stay. All the kitchen appliances and utensils were great. We loved all the beach gear (chairs, umbrellas, towels, boogie boards, etc). The view from the lanai was gorgeous. We loved seeing all the peacocks roaming the property. The gate and office staff were very friendly and welcoming. Ken made the check in/out process a breeze. We would most definitely stay here again! Mahalo Ken!
This apartment was perfect for all what we needed. The apartment is newly renovated and provides everything you need for a comfortable stay. The kitchen is a dream and all appliances and tools are there to make you own breakfast, lunch and dinner which certainly assists if you would like to keep your holiday spendings down. The BBQs at the pool are great and we made use of them. The apartment complex is a bit weird in its location. 580 apartments in the middle of almost nowhere feels initially a little bit odd. The apartments are typically occupied by older people and there are quite strict rules around the usage of the space. A security team is ensuring that the rules are being followed. But saying this, this also ensures that your stay is not disturbed by noise or other unsocial behaviour.
The location is good. You can go and stay at the nearby beaches. We made a whale-dolphin-turtle tour, leaving from Waikanae port. We also drove up the coast to Yokohama bay but also back towards the airport for an all around the island roadtrip. So for us, the apartment was exactly what we needed and we would always love to come back.
The room is clean and comfortable and has everything you need for your stay. The view is like a dream. Ken checked on me when I got there to make sure everything was OK. Thanks for a great stay!
I did not stay at this property. I canceled my trip
Very secluded, beautiful view, and close to beach access
