My family and I vacationed at Karen's home for a week and we had an incredible stay. She was a great host from the beginning. Any questions, I had received a prompt and clear response, so we felt prepared for a week on Oahu. The house was very clean when we arrived, had comfy beds and a fully functional kitchen that was well stocked with pots, pans, plates, utensils and everything else we needed to prepare our meals. The house is also gated, which gave us some additional security. We enjoyed the privacy of our ocean-view yard while still being able to walk right onto the beach within seconds. Makaha Beach was a simple stroll from our beach gate, which made enjoying the water that much more convenient and enjoyable. Surfing was plentiful during our stay, so most days were filled with the entertainment of waves, which we could watch from the yard. The backyard is beautiful and so relaxing and you could not beat this view of the ocean. We even saw many whales! Every night we enjoyed waves crashing. The palm trees were also the perfect distance to hang a hammock and there was plenty of seating for our party to lounge inside and out. We can’t wait to return and hope to stay here again.
