Wonderful.One disappointing aspect was the lack of paper towels, napkins and a simple sponge or brush to clean plates or pans. These basics are provided in every property we have stayed.
Beautiful updated peaceful property with spectacular views. We could hear the ocean waves and feel the breeze with the large sliding glass doors open to the large lanai. The lanai is partially covered so we could even have our morning coffee outside when it was raining. Close to all the North shore beaches including tunnels beach which we saw turtles in the surf everyday on our walks. The home has modern appliances, kitchen and bathrooms and comfortable beds. ,
Amazing property. Clean, comfortable and amazing views. Would highly recommend!

The house has a perfect beachfront access and beautiful views from the front yard and Lanai. Beds are comfy on the Medium Firm side. A/C in both rooms makes it very comfy. There was a lot of spices and oils in the cabinet, check before you shop. Great Check in/Out process and responsive managers! Mahalo!

Nice airy house in perfect location. Lots of good things. Kettle,toaster,Airfryer,oven,cooktop,gas BBQ grill. Main bedroom is lovely. Second bedroom is a big disappointment. We were 2. But if there had been another couple there would be a short straw. Gloomy and Smells musty and is uninviting due to washer being in there. No teaspoons and only 2 decent wine glasses. Also dishwasher out of use.
As every other review states, this house is amazing. Most things don't live up to the hype, but this house does.
Here are some items that would have helped us with our trip.
The house had beach supplies: really nice chairs, towels, a cooler, and an umbrella. The showers were stocked with body wash, shampoo, and conditioner.
If you stop at the store before you drive in, don't get coffee filters. The last few families must have done the same thing we did, so there was an abundance.
The kitchen also had basic spices and olive oil. I'm not sure how long they will last, but a trip to Hanalei, where the market is located, was part of our daily routine.
The two master suites with king beds were a nice feature for two couples traveling together. One has an ocean view, and the other is quieter and has less light. The non-ocean view room has a nicer shower.
Finally, the Sonos sound system throughout the home was a nice touch. It was nice to hear some island music during our stay. The property also has Apple TVs in each room, but we did not need them.
Mahalo for sharing your beautiful home.

This is a beautiful home in the pacific beachfront. The home was pristine and well cared for. We spent many hours on the lanai enjoying cool breezes and enjoying the beautiful view. The house is about 20 minutes from the nearest town and tucked away from the main road. It is very easy easy to get to and from shopping and restaurants.
This house has it all. Location on one of the best strips of beach and reef around, great layout, all the amenities, and great communication from the property managers. We will be back for a third time soon!!

The home was in a great location, very close to nice beaches. Home is well laid out and plenty of space for our family of four. The oven was not working and the property management brought over a air fryer/toaster oven that worked in it's place. Kitchen cabinets could use some TLC but other than those things it was as advertised and a great home. On the right side of the home it is on a path to the beach that sees alot of foot traffic so be advised if you were looking for privacy. There are nice restaurants a few miles away and a fish market if you want to cook. Just a great relaxing stay! Mahalo!

Makana Akua is a quiet, well maintained, comfortable home on the beach within walking distance of Tunnels. The house is exactly as it is represented in the photos. We loved the neighborhood and the overall location. Hawaii Life provided good service, and communication with our island host, Justin was great. We'll be back for longer next time. It would have been nice to have had portable loungers to set up on the lawn in that gorgeous, shady backyard. Thank you!
