This place has a lot going for it...
Being very familiar with this complex, one of the best features of this particular unit is the location.
Unlike many others, the outdoor lanai is in the shade as of about 1 pm.
This makes it nice and cool to sit outside in the afternoon whereas most other lanais become unbearably hot.
Furthermore, the apartment itself remains nice and cool throughout the day with virtually no need to turn on the air conditioning.
As far as interior furnishings go - everything you could possibly want is supplied.
Most notably:
- Super fast Internet
- A blender to make drinks
- Lots of dishes, pots, pants, etc.
- Lot's of spices! (no need to have to go to the bother of buying them)
With respect to the Makaha valley location:
It's the best kept secret of the Hawaiian Islands - Period.
Amazing views of the mountains and valley right from the balcony.
Beautiful pool and BBQ area.
Spectacular hiking right from site (if you know where the trails are)
World famous Makaha beach a pleasant 20 minute walk away.
Access to Kaena Point Nature reserve hike a short 10 minute drive up towards the NW.
All in all, we felt at home right away and would definitely rent this unit again if available
