This is a beautiful, renovated apartment with great views! Everything is as listed and worked great! Waking up to views of the mountain and water was amazing - the unit is perfectly positioned. Makaha Valley is a gem and feels like a private getaway (especially compared to tourist filled Waikiki). The Makaha beach was a fun swimming spot with very friendly locals. The Makaha Valley Towers were very safe, with security 24/7 at the front entrance and patrolling the ground. Both the security and the other residents were really helpful/kind and seemed to look out for one another. The grounds are well maintained. There are beautiful peacocks and cats and birds all over the property! The peacocks can be loud in the mornings, l we often had the large balcony doors open throughout the nights. Closing those doors might’ve limited the sounds, but I didn’t mind hearing them - natural alarm clocks! :-)
Lyn (host) was very responsive to any issues I ran into or concerns I had! When we had an issue with the internet, she helped coordinate to get a new router and modem set up for us within 24 hours. (This can happen in any rental, and she was very eager to help resolve, which I appreciated.)
She would often respond within a few hours to my messages and was always very respectful and so nice. She made me feel welcomed throughout the stay and would check in to make sure everything was going as I expected!
I would definitely stay here again! Miss it already! ☺️
