The location right on the beach is absolutely stunning, it couldn’t be better. Every morning I enjoyed a one-mile beach walk, followed by coffee on the porch while watching the waves crash against the reef. Our stay here was truly wonderful.
We booked this house because we wanted a private residence on the beach. The views and sounds were spectacular! We were very happy with the house and accommodations. It was clean and well stocked with necessities. The host Reyna was responsive answered all questions. I would recommend this house to anyone looking for a quiet vacation away from the city.
House was clean and as advertised. Has all the amenities that you’ll need to have an incredible stay. The sunsets are everything you could ever ask for.
Great location and excellent house! Snorkel every day. Far from tourists and still easy to visit the entire island.
This property has everything you’ll need for four people, the owner is nice and quick to respond if you have any issuesThis was our best family vacation

Great place to stay on the beach with our family!
The home was right on the beach on an essentially private beach. It was beautiful and oerfect sunsets and apparently its a section of ocean that turtles love. I deemed it the turtle highway! Only thing didnt like is lack of local eateries and places to walk too but I would definitely rent again! Very peaceful and relaxing. Just a little piece of heaven.
The property sits on the shore of the leeward side of the island up the west coast away from the big cities. If you are looking for a relaxing time in a casual atmosphere this is definitely the place. It has all the basic amenities. Nothing fancy, but nothing missing. The daily sunsets were an amazing pleasure, with the sounds of the waves breaking an added relaxing sound. We look forward to our return visit.
It was like a dream come true. Beautiful area, pristine beach, house was amazing. Comfortable, spacious and pretty much everything you need. Lots of towels and beach towels. Communication was on point. Answered all questions about the area. I traveled solo, and felt very comfortable in the house and the area. You definitely need a car. There is a bus stop nearby, but I would still recommend a car. Wild chickens, beautiful birds, a couple of lovely cats and also a family of brown anole were among my visitors. It was so relaxing, quiet and just perfect for a zen getaway. I highly recommend this property!

Reyna’s adorable beach house is absolutely perfect!! From the moment you walk in, you’re swept away with the incredible view!! The decor was adorable and beachy. The rooms were cute with comfy beds and ceiling fans. The house was stocked with everything imaginable! Beach chairs, beach towels, coffee, condiments, spices, and necessities. You name it, Reyna had it! The pictures in the listing really don’t even do justice to the beach house. It truly is a little slice of heaven!! If I ever find myself back on Oahu, Reyna’s place is where I’m staying!!!

This house was great to stay in. We wanted freedom of movement. The shopping was so good and you are away from the noise. Will definitely in the future stay with Reyna again. The view from the backyard was truly amazing. And our host, also amazing. Thanks.
We had an amazing time. We really enjoyed the sunsets and the view of the sea.
My family visited Oahu for the first time and hoped to stay right on the beach. This house was exactly what we hoped it would be. Right on the beach, easy access to several other area beaches and very quiet. If you are hoping to travel back and forth from other parts of the island there is heavy, slow rush hour traffic but we loved hanging out on the west side. We saw whales in the distance and sea turtles swimming right our front in the surf. We also enjoyed a daily walk down to Aki’s beach to snorkel and catch the sea turtles sunning themselves right on the sand. The house was exactly as pictured and had everything we needed. We hope to return again!
This beautiful beach front home has stunning views and easy beach access. The home was well equipped with all the essentials to make for a relaxing holiday. Communication with the host was informative and easy. Highly recommend this home!
We stayed here on our honeymoon and it was absolutely perfect! We wanted something low key and away from the hustle bustle of Waikiki and this was perfect . Loved having the option of laying on the bench, sitting in the yard or reading on the deck out of the sun while still enjoying the amazing views and crashing waves!! For us this was the perfect location….thanks Reyna!!
We had a great, relaxing vacation here. It is a distance from nightlife and restaurants, but the isolation and beauty is tremendous. The house is decently stocked with cookware, dinnerware and sharp knives! There are a couple of local grocery stores nearby, and major shopping is a half hour drive East.The beach directly in front of the house is steep, so the surf hits it fairly hard. A shallower, gentler beach is 100 meters west. On calmer days, we saw residents swimming across the bay at Makaha Beach Park. Surfers were active at Makaha Beach every day. There are few visitors to the beach in front of the house, so you get a lot of privacy.There is only one road into Waianea, and it can get crowded at rush hour. There are also homeless encampments on the beach that can be seen on the way to the house, but no one bothered us that far West. The beach is patrolled by lifeguards from further down the beach, and you will see them about twice a day on quads.Highly recommended, if you want peace and quiet.
I’m so happy I cancelled my room at the Hilton and stayed at this beach house. After daily outings to the cities/tourist areas, it was really nice to be “home” and away from it all.
I’m not a crowd/city person, so I was happy to have my own kitchen, make my own food and not have to wait in crowded lines for my coffee and meals.
I also go stir crazy if I’m cooped up in a small spaces, so to be able to walk outside and have my own private beach whenever I wanted, was more than I could’ve asked for in a vacation. The home’s backyard faces west and we caught gorgeous sunsets every evening and the ocean roared us to sleep every night.
Just be aware, that this location is pretty much as far West as you can go and you cannot drive North without going about 30-40 minutes back East. The nearest “mainstream” shopping area is also about 30 minutes away.
We loved the location and space to relax. We loved the access to Mākaha and Aki beach, and Kaena point. We were dazzled by the sunsets and relished the waves from the beachside viewpoint.
This house was the perfect getaway. Quiet, peaceful, comfortable...just perfect for us. The sunsets were gorgeous, the walks on the beach happened from the moment you walked out the back door. Hope to be back!
This place was a hidden little gem on the island. When we were driving up I was slightly concerned with all the homeless tents on the way. Give it a chance. Once we arrived it had everything and more to feel at home. It was a nice place to have silent time after our daily activities.
This amazing property was exactly as described and in the pictures provided. We enjoyed our stay and would stay again. We renewed our vows on the beautiful beach behind our house at sunset. It came out amazing! Thank you, Reyna, for everything.
Overall we loved the property and the view was amazing! It was a pretty easy drive to other areas of the island to explore. We had plenty of room, and the AC was nice to have, although opening the window at night to hear the waves crashing was very relaxing. The neighborhood was quiet. I would recommend staying here.
This was a great location for sitting in the beach. You never have to leave. If you do want to leave it is a bit out of the way. It just depends on what you want to do. We enjoyed our stay. There was plenty of room, great water pressure lots of towels and staples in the kitchen. If I had a complaint, it would be no direct ac in the bedroom. We made the fans work to cool the bedroom when sleeping.
We absolutely enjoyed our stay here in Makaha!
We have made so many memories. This home is set up perfectly for 4. It is equipped with just about everything you need. We have vacationed on different islands and this spot has definitely been our favorite. Private beach front property and a short walk to swim in the ocean..
Amazing experience and host had everything you could possibly need in this beautiful home. Will definitely stay again on our next trip. 10 out of 10 recommendations for this beautiful property.
This house was ideal for our family of 3. Perfect water view, great beach down the road that was safe to swim, AC that worked well, etc. looking forward to staying here again! The host was wonderful.
Owner was on top of things. Had instructions on check in when we landed. We enjoyed our stay and look forward to coming back.
We hoped to find a relaxing and quiet beach front house that we could choose to stay close to. But also go on excursions if we choose to. This house is ideal. Clean and updated, and stocked with necessary kitchen items. We can't wait to plan our return.
We have a very good time in Honolulu and would book this same house.
Such a memorable vacation - and booking this beachfront home was one of the reasons we had such a wonderful time! The home is clean and so comfortable - our friendly host covered all of the necessities and more. It's a quiet and homey place to truly soak in the magic of the island. Beautiful sunsets, gorgeous surf views, friendly neighbors and lots of special experiences available within a short walk or drive from the property. The beach and surf on the leeward side of Oahu can be a bit rough - the beach profile can be a tricky to navigate (definitely not like a typical US mainland beach). We are looking forward to another visit! Don't pass up this gem of a house!
