This is such a great find! We wanted to stay in a quieter place on Oahu. We found this gem before our trip. Danny was the best host ever. Communicated very well. Set us up with everything we needed. Hooked us up with surf lessons and told us all the tasty places to eat. I can’t recommend this place enough. If you want a quiet place to stay on Oahu on the part of the island where the real culture is, this is the place for you.
Danny and Michelle were great hosts. Thank you for your hospitality!
Danny was the perfect host! Beautiful studio and great suggestions for things to do. Can’t wait to come back!
Danny is the best. Knows where to eat and what to order. He also owns a surf lesson and rental company as well. Learned a lot. Cool guy to hang out with too. His dog Reef is awesome too. Sweet golden retriever.
Great spot! Beautiful beach nearby! Host is very kind and accommodating. The host also has surf lessons and he is an outstanding teacher !
Great comfortable and cozy studio. Down the street from the beach! Danny was super friendly. We would love to stay again!
Had an amazing time staying here on our honeymoon! We would definitely come back. 10/10 recommend :) Danny is an amazing host!
My husband and I stayed here for our 5 yr anniversary and we couldn't have been happier!!! Danny and Michelle were so kind and easy to talk with. They had wonderful recommendations for watching sunsets and awesome restaurants with local foods. This was my first time to Hawaii and they made us both feel right at home! We will be booking again with them in the future! I couldn't have asked for more!
Danny was super helpful and a great host! The place had everything I needed, was really peaceful and relaxing. Plus they have the coolest dog ever!
Hands down. Best host ever. Daniel was fantastic and very helpful in getting to know the area. His surf lesson was very affordable and worth every penny. The area is not commercialized, so if you're looking to escape the city and want just a relaxing city to hang out in, then book here. The room has everything you need. A bed, AC unit, shower, toilet, and refrigerator/microwave. I would definitely stay here again if I visit Oahu.
We had a late check-in, but Danny still met us. We only stayed 2 nights while waiting on family members to arrive. Good location, great hosts
The studio was nice, clean, and a perfect size for one or two people. Immediately felt like home and unko danny was kind, hospitable, and easy to get in touch with. for those not from the area, mākaha stay pretty far away from a lot of major conveniences and staying in the country does mean the occasional roach inside (canʻt necessarily be prevented) just so you are aware. the studio had everything i needed during my one week. it was a great value and i would stay again.
If we could give this studio 7 stars, we would! Anything it lacked in conveniences, Danny made up for in hospitality. From the time we landed he was in touch with directions, suggestions, and assistance. He was the perfect amount of helpful and respectful of our time and space. Every place he recommended seeing was amazing and every restaurant he suggested absolutely delicious.The studio itself was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The location was amazing. We were a short walk from a beautiful beach and loved being on the side of the island that kept us away from crowds and tourism. We felt like we got to see and enjoy “real Hawaii”. We would choose to stay here again and again. Thank you, Danny!
We only were there for a couple of days. Host was very nice and affable. Offered soup and mango at our arrival which were welcomed.Thanks again
Had everything we needed plus more. The private balcony/deck was a bonus. Great hospitality by the hosts! We will definitely be back!
The hosts were very nice and helpful. Our studio apartment was very spacious and clean. The bed was extremely comfortable. It was nothing fancy but that was fine for us. The neighborhood was quiet and away from Honolulu (which is what we wanted). There was some rooster noise early in the mornings but with the air conditioning on, you couldn’t hear it. We were very pleased.
This is a great location for nearby beaches, surfing, and swimming in the ocean. Danny is a fine host, takes good care of his guests, and provides a quiet space for a comfortable visit to the Waianae coast. Aloha!
Although this was a very reasonable price, it was basically a room in the back of the landlord's garage. He was very congenial and willing to help, we felt a little confined.
The studio is located in North-West Oahu. This is the "Real Hawaii". We liked it very much.
Because it is located an hour from the main airport, you will need to rent a car to stay in this part of Hawaii.
Warm and welcoming folks, they have good tips on where to go and spots to check out. They provide a cozy room where you can retreat after a day full of activities. The host also teach surfing lessons so dont hesitate to inquire.
Some of the most welcoming and sweet property owners I’ve ever encountered. Highly recommended! Thank you so much!
We really enjoyed our stay here! The room was clean and had plenty of space for our luggage. They provided towels/beach towels and cooking suppies with a griddle. Danny made check in easy and was quick to reply whenever we needed anything. He even took us out surfing which was a great experience!.It is a little far from the big tour attractions so just plan on extra driving time with morning traffic. But the neighborhood is quite and only a 5 minute walk from a gorgeous beach.
This rental was exactly as described—a great base camp with all the listed amenities. The host was communicative and cordial, making the stay smooth and hassle-free. Perfect spot for our needs! Would stay again.
Danny and Michelle were awesome! This is a perfect place to stay, for a couple that want a local vibe. Quiet and private area. Mahalo
Danny’s place was exactly as advertised. He and Michelle looked after our needs and advised us where to eat and what sights to see. His dog Reef visited us often and he’s super friendly. All said, this place was exactly what we expected. Mahalo Danny and Michelle!
The host and hostess were so lovely, and requests were greeted with helpfulness. The king-size bed was comfortable. The indoor shower wand was quickly hot and easy to adjust the temperature. We could have subsisted with just a Microwave. Though the electric frying pan exponentially increased our ability to prepare more-nourishing meals. This location is great if surfing, swimming and relaxing on the beach is your pleasure. It is near the best hike on the island at Ka'ena Point State Park. We were early to bed and early to rise during our January stay, as it was hot in the afternoon sun even then.
This is a quaint room close to the beach. Danny is a very knowledgeable host of places to go for food and surfing. The air conditioner was on, but room was not cool for a few hours after arrival. My husband and I did not personally feel comfortable staying here the whole time we booked because of the locking/entrance arrangements. Understandably, even after discussing the issues we had with the property, we were not refunded any amount of money. Overall, not a bad place. It may have been a better fit for others, just not for us on our honeymoon.
Loved the little oasis on the west coast. The room was clean and had a comfortable feel about it. Danny was a great host and was very friendly and knowledgeable. Thank you for a great stay!
Quiet neighborhood. Lovely beach right around the corner. Excellent hiking trail to albatross sanctuary nearby. Hosts were helpful and friendly. We enjoyed our stay!
This is a small, clean, easy accessible studio but really is just set up to be a place to shower & rest. There is no TV so if you're like me & want to watch something to wind down at the end of the day you'll have to use your own phone, iPad, laptop, etc. The host is very kind & friendly & lets you say hi to the dogs if you'd like (which who doesn't love dogs?!). The host let us borrow beach gear & offered surf lessons! My boyfriend took the lessons while I relaxed on the beach & we both enjoyed ourselves a lot! The location is rural, definitely not a tourist part of the island which was a nice change of pace during our stay on Oahu. Overall, it was exactly what we needed just to rest & I would recommend this place to anyone who was looking for something simple.
