Photos and Description of the Makaha vacation house rental
Beachfront House, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible Beds, 2 Baths. Sleeps 6.

Want a house on a sandy beach? This two bedroom two bath beachfront house is located in Makaha, about 29 miles from the airport and 40 miles from Honolulu/Waikiki. The weather in general in Makaha is the sunniest and driest on the island. At your home away from home you can watch turtles frolic in the surf line, watch the whales swim by from your window, take a romantic walk on the beach at sunset and fish and swim on your own sandy beach. Our beach house is in a private sheltered cove and one of only three houses with direct access to the beach on that side of the street. We are just a few minutes away from some of the most outstanding golf courses on Oahu. The water park is just a short drive away. Want to attend a luau? No problem, Paradise Cove is just a few minutes away by car. At our beach house you will have the option to experience Hawaii as it was 'back then' without the hustle and bustle of the city or experience both the city life and your very own Hawaiian retreat.

Unique Benefits of this House: The construction of this house allows you to have ocean as well as mountain views from every room. Even though it is a one level house, it is raised so that you can have an even better view of the majestic ocean below it. The kitchen is newly renovated with granite counter tops, new cabinets and brand new appliances. The house has been totally renovated inside and out. As you sit on your living room sofa, you might see a whale swim by because there is nothing between you and the ocean except the sandy white beach. Want a BBQ? You can fish for your dinner, walk a few steps and throw it on the BBQ grill in your patio or you could grill it on the beach while you watch the sunset. There are also two world class golf courses a few minutes drive away and one about 10 minutes away.The water park is also very near. Want to attend a luau? You will find one just a few minutes drive from where you are. I have provided a book with directions to all these places and more for you to look at.

Mr. & Mrs. Aloha: This gated house is wonderful because we have an on site manager who considers it a privilege to host guest from all over the world. Herman and Julie are called Mr. and Mrs. Aloha because they love their job so much. They can answer all your questions and give you a wealth of information about the area. Our beach house is located on the west side of the island where it is sunnier and drier than any other place on Oahu. In fact, when it is raining on other places on the island, you will still be having the sun shine down on you. Because the sun sets on the west side of the island your days will be longer and sunnier which means you will be lounging on the beach longer & soaking up that sunshine so when you return home it will be with a beautiful tan. If you would like to stay at a retreat like beach house that is very private and peaceful, come to our beach house.

Why Our Beach House?: Our family inherited this property from our Aunt whose husband was a contractor and built this house many years ago. Because it is on the west coast of Oahu and one of the most beautiful places on the island, we decided to turn it into a vacation rental so that other people could enjoy the natural beauty of this unspoiled paradise as much as we do. We have totally renovated the house so that all our wonderful guests can experience the natural beauty of this island as well as the comfort of a retreat like home. Our house is located in a private cove where there are only two other houses with direct access to the beach on that side of the street. For that reason you will find very little local traffic, if any, on your own private beach. The house is also by a natural reef so that when you are snorkeling, you might get to see the local marine life up close.

Nearest Airport : Honolulu International Airport at 29 Miles
Car: recommended

We are a beach front with ocean property, so you will have lots of sand to lay on to get your beautiful tan 24/7 all year round. White sandy beach is just 10 steps away from your door.

Golf: There are three world class golf courses very near to our beach house. The Ko Olina golf course is Oahu's premier Ocean View Championship Golf Course designed by Ted Robinson. It is an 18 Hole Championship Golf Course which provides exceptional water features, multi tiered greens, expansive landing areas, no parallel fairways and measures up to 6,867 yards from the back tees. It is a 10 minute drive from our house. The Makaha Resort Golf Course is about 2 minutes away by car. This golf course was designed by William F. Bell to accent the stunning natural landscape of Makaha Valley. This championship course was acclaimed for its beauty as much as its rigor by Golf Digest, and was named the Island's best course by Honolulu Magazine. This classic 18 hole, 7,077 yard, par 72 course calls for a variety of shots and just about every club in your bag. With a USGA rating of 73.2 it challenges professionals and amateurs alike. Those with a sense of history will delight knowing that Hawaii's royalty used Makaha Valley for their recreation. The peacocks seen and heard throughout the valley were a gift from King Kalaukaua to the owner of the historic Makaha Valley Ranch more than 100 years ago.

This was our first trip to the Island. The house exceeded our expectations! It was beautiful and peaceful. there were 5 adults staying here and we had plenty of room. We had several BBQ's while we were here, and my local son and his family come over to visit and swim. There is a nice beach down the road with plenty of sandy beach for swimming. There is a local store down the street to for groceries. There is snorkel gear, boogie boards, fishing gear, all available for use. The one thing that came in extremely useful was the washer and dryer!! This alone is a big benefit! Herman and Julie were very accommodating and informational. Mahalo!

Our family loved the location of this vacation home. Far away from the tourist yet close enough to all major attractions. We really enjoyed the peace and quiet of having our own beach front property for 10 days; we did not want to leave. The house was equiped with all the things we needed to enjoy a nice relaxing vacation! We would consider this a top spot for our return in the coming years. Thank you Herman for being a great host!

My family and I stayed at this rental in June 2012. The facility was found immaculate and had many things already stocked, i.e. syrup, sald dressing, mustard...etc their we're plenty of towels and and good laundry facilities.
The caretakers, Herman and Julie are the nicest people in the world. Herman made us a mango pie that might have been the best thing I have ever eaten. He spoiled us with fresh fish and even taught me how to shore fish. They both personify Hawaiian hospitality. The only hitch we had, was immediately taken care of with one phone call. We misunderstood that the building had wi-fi Internet, but in actuality it was only high speed Ethernet. However, after I explained to the owner how easy it was to have wi-fi, she went and got us a wireless router. Lynette (owner) asked if I could set it up for her. It took about a minute and we had wireless Internet. For future renters, I simply put a sticker with the network and password on the top of the router.
The only other minor problem, was the facility has no air-conditioning. It really wasn't a problem 90% of the time, but definitly a need on days with light winds. But in the evening, we were fine.

Owner's Response: Thank you Dave. We just LOVED having you visit us and it was great having the opportunity to talk to you personally. Thank you ever so much for setting up the wireless router for us. We are blessed indeed to have thoughtful and helpful visitors like you. And....All our future visitors will have the benefit of your visit. So future visitors I want you to know that hereafter the router should be referred to as the "Dave's Awesome Router". I am very sorry that you had that minor problem with no air conditioning. Most of the time we do have the beautiful Hawaiian trade winds. Your visit here was in June which is the hottest time of the year. Thankfully 90 percent of the time and at nighttime you were fine. In any case, since the comfort of our visitors is so important to us and we truly appreciate your suggestion on how to improve the place, I have decided to change out the ceiling fans to a much stronger one. I have just now finished researching it and have found Hunter fans that should do the trick. They have much longer blades and all the reviews on it say that they provide much air movement. We did not want to change to air conditioning in order to keep the rates as low as possible for our visitors. Also, the cool trade winds and the sound of the ocean are a wonderful experience for our wonderful visitors to experience. Dave, please come back to visit us again so that you can check out our new upgraded ceiling fans. Thank you again Dave, you are the best!
Sending you warm wishes and aloha.

Wonderful part of our vacation.

After a few days in Waikiki and a week long Hawaiian cruise, we finished off our vacation with a few days at this great find. Very clean, comfortable and away from the hubbub. We were in easy driving distance to anywhere on the island but it was hard to leave our beach house. We shared our beach with two monk seals everyday. My daughter and I enjoyed every precious moment of our time spent here but even more the rest of our party who finished their vacations in Waikiki, Honolulu, and Turtle Bay were very jealous. Thanks to Julie and Herman (caretakers).

Paradise on the Beach

We had a wonderful stay at this house on the west side of the island. The entire house was very clean. It is a beach house so you would expect some sand in the house but when we arrived it was spotless. Beds in both bedrooms were very comfortable and we slept soundly listening to the gentle ocean waves at night. There also is a futon in the living room that my 12 year old son slept on so our family of 5 was comfortable.

The location of the property is wonderful as you are literally right on the ocean. The back has a relatively small, well maintained grass yard that connects directly to the beach. The beach was clean and the water very clear. The beach in that area is a bit rocky but the waves were calm enough for our 9 year olds to swim.

Most of the time we had practically the entire beach to ourselves. Locals from across the street can walk to the beach but we only had to share "our" beach with others on a couple of occasions. We were delighted to see turtles casually swimming in the water near us several times and saw a monk seal two days. We were hoping it would come out of the water to sun itself on the beach, which I was told it often does, but it never actually came ashore.

The property caretakers, Herman and Julie, and very nice and welcoming. In fact, all Hawaiins we encountered were very friendly. Herman even showed my boys how to crack open a coconut on the last night of our stay.

Makaha is a small town on the upper west side of the island and getting around can be frustrating with the traffic. There are not many restaurants in the area but if you plan to cook at home you will be fine. When we travelled to other areas of the island it took a minimum of an hour. If you plan to go to Honolulu or other areas of the island frequently you may want to consider staying closer to Honolulu.

Overall, this is a great beach house and we would stay here again. Days spent at home were very relaxing and the view from the back yard is breath taking. If you are looking for a place to get away from it all this is the place.
