The Makaha Towers was a great place to stay for my wife and I, we aren't huge on cities so it was nice to be in a quieter area. You are very close to Makaha beach, which we never saw busy at all. Also, if you drive further up Highway 93 at night there are some great stars. The view from the condo is also spectacular at all times of the day!
The condo comes equipped with a kitchen with all the cooking tools you'll need, a microwave, and toaster. There's shared washer and dryers that you can use, and they work just fine. Also, there are spare beach towels and 2 low sitting chairs you can use in the unit. Additionally, there's an older tv (no HDMI port) with a lot of DVD's you can pick from, wifi, and AC.
I would rate this five stars, but there were several dirty dishes we ran into during cooking, crumbs on the kitchen table and chairs, and the clean bed sheets had some permanent stains on them. There is a little bit of an ant problem, so be sure to keep your food in the fridge if it is something an ant could get into. We also killed one cockroach and found another dead one, but that is to be expected practically anywhere in a tropical place. I looked throughout the condo for any other ones and couldn't find any, so I don't think it is an issue.
Without traffic, it is about a 45 minute drive into Honolulu, but if you plan day trips it isn't bad at all. We rented a fuel efficient car and drove all over the island. If you get a little later start (leave after 7:30-8 am) and stay out later (get back past 7 pm) traffic is practically non-existent.
As other people mentioned, there are a lot of peacocks around the towers, and they like to make noise at dawn and dusk. It didn't bother us past the first night, but it is surprising how loud those evil things can be, the baby ones sure are cute though. We never had any noise issues with the neighboring units, all the people were very polite. Outside of the towers and closer to the beach there are some gas stations and small stores that I would suggest staying away from. The beach area is nice, but there are some sketchy figures around those small stores.
Overall, we had a great experience and would love to re-visit, although those few minor things would be great to have addressed. Definitely a worthwhile place to stay!
