Our second time there. We stayed 7 nights. It is a small efficiency but it is well equipped. We like the location and it is reasonably priced. Being just above the beach is great. Usually the beach is very quiet but there can be exceptions. Sunday of Labor Day week end, we had loud music below our window for the whole afternoon. At dark it stopped but it was replaced by an even louder music till about 11 pm. The next morning, music started further on the beach at 7 am.
Overlooked the beach as advertised. Listened to waves all night. It was great
Listen to the waves falling asleep at night. Perfect.
Property is at a quiet and remote beach. Expect to drive a hour or more to most of the popular stuff on the island. Assigned parking space is nice, but it's on the basement level which is prone to flooding in storms so keep that in mind.
I had to reach out to the host the day of arrival because she did not send the check in instructions. Once I got a hold of her she sent them but I had issues opening the PDF she sent and she never got back to me asking for her to resend it. Luckily I was able to get it cleared up with VRBO but the host never checked. Reading other reviews communication can be an issue it seems.
Other than that the property was as expected, homelessness is an issue in that area and it can be loud at night but overall fine.
Overall excellent. Beautiful beach & quiet building. Well maintained & clean. Everything you need provided.
Cute small apartment full of supplies for inside and beach. Very private and safe. The sand is amazing soft. Friendly people. The
Beautiful beach, owner very responsive, condo was clean
Really nothing bad to say. View was great, plenty of beach equipment full kitchen. Would stay again.
The condo was perfect except no smokin ANYWHERE on premises. They made me go out to the street and at night that is not the safest place to be.
We enjoyed our stay. It was perfect for my husband and myself. We never did receive our check-in info prior to arriving, however as soon as I sent a message a response was immediately received with easy check in instructions and an apology. We have previously stayed on this side of the island so knew what to expect; travel times to other parts of the island. It is out of the hustle of Waikiki, which we appreciate. Great ocean views and access to the beach. Everyone at the complex were very nice; staff and local residents:)
Loved being so close to sand and water. Loved the sound of waves going to sleep and waking up.

This lodging has been very convenient for us. The description is accurate. The studio is well equipped. Shopping for food is not far, at Wai'anae. Communicating with the owner/rental agency prior to coming has been difficult.
Love being able to stay on the beach and be so close to family who live here on the Leeward side of Oahu!
Makaha Shores is great place to visit and all we had hoped. It was a very clean, safe property, nice warm pool, friendly neighbors and a nice BBQ area. Ming was very helpful and quick to reply when we had a question. The condo had everything we needed, was very clean, and the beach/ocean view was fabulous! A little bit of paradise at a very reasonable price. We hope to return for sure!
Great views from balcony and beautiful beach. Condo needed fixes to screen and sliding doors and lights. Neighborhood description was not at all accurate. Lots of homeless and decent local eateries were difficult to find.
