What a gem!! After living in Honolulu for 12 years, I knew I wanted to try staying on the Westside & I’m so happy we did!! Although the unit has no A/C, there is a strong trade wind breeze that blows through constantly cooling the unit. I really enjoyed the leftovers that the other guests & host left (laundry supplies, aloe, etc) that made it feel a little more like home. You get to fall asleep next to the beach & hear the ocean waves crashing all night. We even saw a monk seal from the lanai one morning! They have a private pool, shower, & beach access which opened the last day of our stay.
A few things to know - this unit is about 45 minutes from Honolulu without any traffic & a very local area. Please be respectful. There are a few restaurants in the area, but we stopped at Costco & loaded up on food which lasted us our entire trip. This unit is closer to the road & there is road noise & beach parties. However, the noise typically died down before bed. This unit is for you if you want to get away, work remote, or just enjoy the beautiful Makaha beach every day.
We would definitely stay with Daniel & Oscar again. They were fantastic hosts with excellent response time!
