Melody and her husband were super friendly and very responsive. The condo located in a quiet remote area of Oahu was comfortable and had beautiful views of the mountains and ocean. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking, the bed was very comfy, and beach accessories were available for your use. The condo complex including the pool was well maintained. It was fun seeing all the peacocks wandering around!
For us the downside of this area was the heavy traffic and only one way in and out of the area, especially from 3-7 p.m. Sightseeing from the Makaha Valley was difficult when returning from tourist places like Pearl Harbor, Polynesian Cultural Center, North Shore, Honolulu, Waikiki, Diamond Head and Dole Plantation. If you are fine with fast food restaurants and cooking your own meals, dining out is not available in the condo area except near the Marriott and Disney resorts 6 miles from the Makaha Valley Towers complex.
Many beaches around Oahu were beautiful and family friendly especially the four lagoons near the Marriott and Disney resorts (6 mile drive from condo). You do need to be careful and check with the locals about which beaches are safe to visit near the condo.
