The apartment is fantastic and exactly as you see on the pictures, new furniture, clean and you have a fantastic view! The facility is very safe and well organized. The pool is clean, bug enough and relaxing. We really felt like at home and very comfortable everytime we came back from a long trip!
We definately recommend to get the parking permit from the office. But bare in mind that you get your 50 USD back only during the office hours of the facility or they send you a check. We as Europeans would have had issues to revert the check back to money...due to our early check out (4am) and Thanksgiving holidays it did not work out for us to get the parking permit. The issue is then that every single time you enter the facility with your car you have to get a new visitor pass which was very very annoying for us. Example: We left the facility for an hour to the beach, when we came back the security guy did not remember us and we had to go through many questions again and again....anyway its not under Bo's responsibility, its just a remark!
A remark about the area: Makaha Valley is far away from North Shore, Waikiki, Kailua, Ala Moana Shopping Mall and many other top rated Tripadvisor sites, restaurants, activities....at least 1 hour per ride. We as first-time-Hawaii-visitors totally underestimated that! It led to long drives and a lot of waste of valuable time in the car as we wanted to explore the island. But Makaha Beach is great, clean and cool for surfers + other beach activities. The valley is very very quite, there is only one Restaurant nearby which we can highly recommend, but also 15 minutes drive! The weather in Makaha valley was far better than anywhere...in other areas in rains often, but not on the West side.
Overall Bo is offering a fantastic apartment for a very fair price (I suppose due to area).
