Aloha Derek, mahalo for staying with us! We’re glad the home was spacious, well-equipped, and a good fit for your wedding trip. The property is located in a private gated community in beautiful Mākaha Valley, and we appreciate you choosing our home for such a meaningful visit. We’d be happy to host you again anytime. 🌺🏡
Everything was great! Joe took various extra steps to make our stay perfect. Added welcome gifts and such. In addition, he included all our needs for a great week including all we could imagine for going to the beach (chairs, umbrellas, snorkels, surf/paddle/body boards, etc and all house needs (toliertries, kitchen equipment, laundry, diswasher soaps, etc). Above and beyond!

🌺 Aloha and mahalo Nate for your kind words! 🌴
We’re so glad you had a great stay and that all the little extras helped make your time in Mākaha truly memorable. It was a pleasure to host you and we loved sharing a bit of aloha through the welcome gifts and beach gear 🏄♂️☀️.
If your travels ever bring you back to the West Side, we’d be honored to welcome you again!
Much aloha from our ‘ohana to yours,
Joe 🌈🌺
The home is beautiful and spacious. The beds are soooo comfortable. Loved all the extras like surfboards, boogie boards, beach chairs and snorkels and more. The beach is less than 2 miles away. We spent most of our time exploring the island but enjoyed having coffee in the back yard watching the sun come up. We didn’t realize that we couldn’t drive straight to the East side or north shore from the property, instead you have to drive south quite a ways to get around the mountains. Wish we had more time there. It was great! Our party of 6 loved it.

Aloha Deb, mahalo nui for your thoughtful review! We’re so glad your group loved the spacious home, comfortable beds, beach gear, and peaceful mornings in the backyard. Mākaha Valley is tucked into a beautiful part of the island, so guests do need to plan drive time when exploring the East Side or North Shore, but we’re happy the home was a great base for your Oʻahu trip. We would love to host you again anytime. 🌴☕
This. Place. Is. Awesome! --- As a local, I’m always looking for family-friendly spots for a staycation with my loved ones, and this place was a hidden gem right in my backyard! The house was not only spacious and spotless but also fully equipped with everything we needed for a perfect beach day—snorkel gear, surfboards, a paddleboard, and comfy beach chairs. The kids had so much fun, and it was great to enjoy this side of the island in such comfort.
Joe was an amazing host, super friendly, communicative and quick to help with anything we needed. It’s clear he puts a lot of heart into making his home a place welcoming for families. Supporting a local home like Joe’s is so important to me, and I’m glad we chose to stay here.
If you’re looking for a place that’s perfect for families, with all the amenities, this is it!
