The views are AMAZING!! The condo is a little older but you can tell they’re making improvements and modernizing it. But seriously if you book this place (you should) you will not notice anything but the natural beauty and views! In the front there’s the Mountain Valley and Ocean view, on your Lanai (balcony) it’s just the Ocean - STUNNING.
During our vacation we stayed in Waikiki, Turtle Bay and Makaha and each was a different vibe. Makaha was further out had more of a local feel, perfect for nature lovers and people who want to be secluded. We LOVED it here.
There was an exaggerated review that someone previously left about all the homeless around… yes there were some but they did not bother anyone, act out or ask for handouts. Hawaii is super expensive, their ancestors lands were stolen and they’re just trying to survive. Anyway, that’s a different story.
Back to Janells place, you don’t have to leave and you would be happy with it. The beach is super private and even on a weekend there were no crowds. We saw turtles everyday, seals and whales here and there. It was perfect! There are tons of hikes and beaches to explore. Take out places and restaurants are good but close early due to the pandemic so be prepared to stock up before your arrival and enjoy yourselves. Mahalo!
