We stayed at Brett's place for a month. He's a fantastic host, helpful, pleasant, responsive. He knows his property well and has folks available to tend to issues. Makaha is very picturesque with mountains and the ocean views. It's an hour away from town (Pearl Harbor, Aeia, etc.), farther from Waikiki. Perfect for surfers and beach goers who don't need the hubbub. Watch your littles; the waves are ruthless. The complex is well cared for. We enjoyed having our kids over for a cookout in the pool area. Feral peacocks and chickens roam the area -- beautiful, but the roosters will not honor your sleep schedule! Creeping things are a way of life on the island, so we did battle with them. The unit itself is spacious; the decor is a bit dated, but comfortable. Beds are comfy; kitchen is fully stocked. Perks: W/D in the unit; beach accessories available. Negatives: the daily noise of neighbors and workers outside our unit (dumpster nearby); so-so AC when the afternoon sun hits.
