I've been to Oahu many times for business and personal reasons, usually I prefer to stay in Waikiki for a couple nights for shopping and foods then take off to Kailua Beach (East side of the island) for more calm and quality time. This time, we wanted to try out West side and randomly found this place facing down Makaha Beach from the 11th floor. When I walked in to the unit, I was speechless (I truly believe that the photos didn't capture what this place offers). During sunset hours, this unit turns into the first class, the front row of sunset. You can never compare this to Waikiki sunset view. Before we got here, we stayed in Waikiki for 4 nights, so it was even more satisfying (glad to get out of Waikiki traffic and noise).
This unit was super clean, well equipped, descent products and appliances. The host was very responsive.
About the location... Makaha Beach is right in front of this building (Hawaiian Princess), very private and convenient for people who's staying there. You get to see the same people every morning, afternoon, sunset hours, and night which I like -- you get to make some friends if you wish.. my 7 years old only daughter made good friends there. I felt very safe yet private enough to enjoy every moment of the day especially sunset every night (disclaimer: I was traveling with my mom and daughter this time). Here is the reason -- the building is facing the beach and many people are sitting in their balcony, at least a few almost always, so even if you go out by yourself after sunset, you still feel safe yet don't get bothered by anyone.
Next time, we won't spend much time in Waikiki or elsewhere. I am going back to Kathy's place.
