We loved our stay in Makaha Valley - just 5 minutes from Makaha Beach Park where we were attending a surf contest. Having beach toys, snorkel masks, and boogie boards was a lovely perk. The place itself is beautifully decorated - I’ll call it modern simplicity. First thing our kids did was break into the games - Jenga, checkers, chess, and backgammon. The washer / dryer were key for all of our days at the beach. It was nice to also have beach towels at the house for our use. The cooler came in super handy for our long days at the beach and we even used the reusable shopping bags when we went to the grocery store. We forgot to buy rice - and there was even rice in one of the cupboards! We have a baby and they provided a pack n play. Finally, it was nice to feel safe in a gated community. Security was always really sweet. But they were also definitely doing their job. Thank you!
