Magnificent Makaha Sunsets
Review Submitted: September 20, 2009
Date of Stay: August 2009
We drove around the island twice going to other beaches. This condo is located on the most beautiful beach on the island. It is very private and the sunsets are awe inspiring. We saw turtles in the water from the balcony. We slept with the sliding doors open on our balcony every night. We had a wonderful breeze and were lulled to sleep by the crashing waves.
The condo is beautiful and perfect for two. Since there was no freezer, we bought a small styrofoam cooler to keep ice in, which solved the problem. The internet ad said we would have internet access, but we did not. My sister and her husband rented the owner's other condo #159314. They DID have internet access, although it was not advertised in the ad for that condo. So, I think they just had it listed on the wrong ad. It was not a big deal since we used the computer in my sister's room when needed. Their room was equally beautiful.
Two sisters clean the condos. I would like to thank them because the condo was immaculate when we arrived.
The owner, Laura, was very nice and easy to deal with. She provided excellent suggestions. We went to the Paradise Cove Luau she suggested at Ko Olina. It was great!
Tacos and More is a great little Mexican restaurant nearby with excellent authentic Mexican food. Don't bother going to the Red Baron Pizza. The food was not good. For great Italian food, go to "Mediterranea" on King Street. They have the best gnocchi we've ever eaten. And don't miss out on Leonard's Malasadas.
There is a swap meet at the Aloha Stadium on Wed., Sat., and Sunday. This is the cheapest place for souvenirs with a huge variety of items with something for everyone. They all barter.
You will definitely need a car since Makaha is 37 miles each way to Waikiki. But, the drive is well worth it for this beautiful, clean condo and 'Secret Beach'. We highly recommend this condo.
Thank you, Laura and Jerry! We hope to come back again in the near future.

The best way to stay in Hawaii

Staying on the West side of the Island was the best choice we could have made. The condo was beautiful, well maintained and very modern. The beach was very quiet and private. We saw plenty of fish and sea turtles in the water and enjoyed the sunset from the condo and out on the beach. We absolutely had the best veiw on the island. We were worried about not having AC but when everything is open you get a great breeze. This was the best way to see Oahu with out blowing your budget. For the coffee lovers there is a Starbucks a few miles from the condo. We would do this again. Thanks Laura
Great Time at the Condo

We had a great time in Hawaii and adding to stay the beach and the condo were beautiful. The condo had beach equipment that was used and enjoyed. It was a great trip and this condo on the beach is lovely. Would recommend for people who want to have a romantic getaway.
Beautiful Condo Right on the Beach

We had a wonderful time in Hawaii. Both the beach and the condo were beautiful. We golfed both the Makaha Country Club and the Resort - each just 5 minutes away - and thoroughly enjoyed both courses. We also really appreciated that the condo had beach equipment for us. In fact, our trip was perfect – the weather was even perfect the whole time. We enjoyed the Ko Olina Resort lagoons and Roy’s Restaurant there too. We toured the entire island of Oahu (as far as the roads would take us) and even climbed Diamond Head. It was a great trip and this condo on the beach is lovely.
The ice problem was resolved for us by buying ice and putting the bag in a bowl in the refrigerator. It lasted a couple of days that way.

We just returned home after a wonderful stay in this condo.The suite was exactly as advertised, beautifully appointed with top of the line reno's and spotlessly clean. The view from the lanai was breathtaking. The owners were extremely easy to deal with and very helpful.
The beach is amazing and uncrowded. Some days the surf was too rough to get into the ocean but a few days it was calm and we were able to snorkle with the turtlles. We were even lucky enough to spot whales and dolphins!! One day a rare and endangered Monk Seal came onto the beach and stayed for the whole day! The Biologist that came to check on her said there are fewer than 1000 left in the world.
The building and parking lot are gated and very secure with great security people on patrol all night. We met many residents during our stay and they were all so friendly and helpful that we will keep in touch and look forward to returning to see them again.The only things we missed were not having a freezer or a land line.

Owner's Response: We so much appreciate a tenant taking the time to leave a note on our webpage. Please let us know if it is important to you to have a freezer in the unit as we are considering purchasing one. The refrigerator are the newest type with under counter drawers, all done in beautiful stainless and provide lots of space. There is also a separate under the counter Beverage cooler that has two drawers for wine and lots of space for water and soda storage.
Cant wait to come back!!

The wife and I just got back form 12 nights. We loved the place, the area, and cant wait to come back with the kids. Booking and dealing with the Lolli's was very easy and they provided us with lots of things to see and do.
The condo was great. the only thing we were not used to was not having a freezer, so that just meant we had to eat fresh market fish/food each night!!
The view was spectacular, swimming with turtles was the coolest thing ever!! and having flippers for us to use was a god send, cause it makes swimming in a stronger current way easier. The ocean was very calm for 10 of the 12 days wth swells only 1-2 feet, then we had 2 days of 10ft swells. The busiest day on the beach was thanksgiving day and even then there were only less than 50 people out. Fabulous for a quiet getaway.
Th main road that the condo is on is quite busy, lots of traffic and emergency vehicles but when all the windows and doors are closed the condo was dark and quiet, great for sleep-ins. All the other tenants were very friendly, and the night security guard for the parking lot (Keith) treated us well.
We will definitely be coming back soon and would recommend this property to everyone.

Beautiful Condo and Amazing View!

My husband and I spent our honeymoon here and it was WONDERFUL! The condo is beautiful and has everything you need. The view from the lanai is amazing, especially because the doors open all the way across the wall. The beach isn't very crowded and we saw sea turtles swimming nearby a few times. A perfect place to spend your honeymoon or any vacation. It's away from all of the hussle of Honolulu, which is nice for relaxing and unwinding. Would definately recommend!
