From this local girl: Central location and incomparable view. If you long for the serene hilltop view from Spaulding House or the Liljestrand House, this is the closest you’ll get from Makiki Heights.
It was the perfect setting for our small family reunion of three generations. The kids played chess and pool, I did yoga on the lawn, and my sister lounged in the master bedroom patio. From big kitchen to multiple lounge zones inside and out, we had so many places to enjoy ourselves as a group and alone. On-site “home keeper” lives in this sick treehouse built into a banyan tree and you’ll likely get a tour of it, plus he let us use his grill. Quiet local neighborhood with friendly tenant above garage.
Would love to stay in Jose’s property again for my next visit back to my home town.
