We had an exceptional stay! We snorkeled every day in front of the condo— so many colorful fish and sea turtles. We could even see sea turtles from the lanai! The grounds are beautifully maintained and the pool was great! Attentive and friendly people around the condo and on the beach. The condo was beautifully decorated, well-maintained and the kitchen stocked with all the basics to make cooking easy. Mahalo for one of our most restorative vacations! Thank you Heather!

Perfect location right on the beach

We loved staying here. We relaxed on our Lani and watched the surfers, whales, and sunsets. The room had everything we needed. Comfortable bed, kitchen was fully stocked and they included extras for the beach. We would recommend this place to anyone looking for a clean, quiet, and relaxing get away.

Awesome stay at the Makaha Shores

My wife and I loved our stay at Heathers condo. Everything was perfect. Most of our stay while at the condo was out on the lanai. The best views!! The bed was super comfortable too. Her place is great for a couple. We definitely hope to come back again.

Beautiful condo, beautiful view, beautiful Makaha Beach

Wonderful two month stay! What a view! Sunrises and sunsets. The beach is mostly for locals and surfers, you won't find many tourists here. Further north the road leads to more gorgeous, quiet beaches, and a trail leading to the northwest tip of Oahu. A car is pretty much necessary. The condo is very comfortable, with the ocean and beach view right in front of the balcony. Very nice staff and residents. Shopping is easy a few miles south. Also close to Ko Olina, a beautiful resort area with four lagoons and a luau. Thanks to the owner for sharing this amazing place.

Beautiful stay at Makaha Shores

We spent 30 glorious days at Makaha Shores in Heather and Pau’s condo unit. Where to begin….the check-in process was seamless and Heathers unit provides absolutely everything you need for your stay. We had booked with Heather a couple of times previous but with Covid it just didn’t work out. We’re so thankful it did this time! We arrived to a clean and welcoming unit with breath taking views of the ocean, sunrise and sunsets. Upon opening my eyes in the morning without even lifting my head off of the pillow you could see the surfers and if my eyes happened to open early enough you could also catch the beautiful hues of the sunrise. I had no need to contact Heather while there as everything was quite perfect, but she was great with informing us of things going on around the building that may affect us. The grounds of the building are very clean and well maintained and the maintenance and management staff were very friendly. Mahalo Heather…until next time🤗

Great first visit!

This was our first visit to Hawaii, and from our first contact email, we were happy we chose Heather's condo. The condo was clean, bed was comfortable, had plenty of storage and conveniences and a million dollar view! The grounds were well kept, BBQ very convenient, the pool was awesome, as were the people we met. We were fortunate to see dolphins & whales from the lanai, and a turtle on Makaha beach. We were mesmerized by the beautiful blue ocean and the surfers. We rented a car and took advantage of touring the island several times. We booked a snorkel and dolphin tour on the Dolphin Star which was awesome, with pickup in Waianae boat Harbour -the crew was friendly and informative. Tamura market was convenient for groceries, fast food restaurants were close and the local Saturday market(8am- noon) had local goods and fresh produce(located behind Longs Drugs and Pizza Hut). The Polynesian Culture Centre was a highlight for us- including the tour, luau and evening show. Kapolei has easy highway access with lots of major stores and restaurants, and Ko Olina has access to the public for swimming- we used lagoon #4 close to the marina. A wonderful holiday in paradise! Would love to return one day...

ローカルなハワイ

ワイキキだけがハワイではありません。ここマカハは華やかさは無く、ゆったり時間が流れる南の島。バルコニーは最高に居心地が良く、サンセットとサーフィンを見ながらワインと夕食を楽しめます。もちろん、自分達でクッキング。それもまた楽しみの一つです。今回は2回目の滞在で、自分達のセカンドホームのように感じました。

Amazing views and a perfect place for a long getaway

Stayed in heathers place for two months. The views from the studio were stunning. The place had everything you would need for a long stay. Not too far away from grocery stores or other restaurants, but you definitely need a car to get around. Great communication from Heather especially when I had an issue with the internet. Would recommend staying here!!!

An Amazing Beachfront Oasis!

This amazing rental provided a short-term option for my Aunty and Uncle who moved home to Hawaii. They loved watching the surfers each morning and throughout the day along with snorkel tour groups just sitting on their balcony. The owners were easy to reach with questions and provided quick replies as well. We will DEFINITELY recommend this lovely Makaha unit to friends and family. Many mahalos again!

"Get Out" - Hawaii

There were some unusual things happening during my stay. Someone was going in and out of the condo when I wasn't there. For example, a personal item of mine was taken from the condo. Not something expensive like my laptop that was sitting on the counter, but my beach goggles. Weird, right? Also, there were things being left there when I wasn't there. For example, someone's dirty socks were put in the drawer with my clean clothes. And, on one occasion when I was gone all day, upon my return, there was something in the toilet that I didn't leave there. Creepy. To me this was someone sending a clear message that I was not welcome. I am an African-American woman and I felt violated. Even though the owner stated nothing had ever happened like this before, I can't help to think that perhaps it was racially motivated. The owner was gracious and offered to change the locks, but I decided to leave instead. She did refund me for the days I didn't use. On the other hand, the property grounds were amazing! Clean and well maintained. The condo was pristine - beautifully decorated, well stocked with necessities plus chair, umbrellas, etc. for the beach. The location was about an hour from Honolulu, but it sits right on the water so you get to hear and see the ocean waves 24/7. Beautiful!

We were so surprised and disappointed when hearing of your unsettling experience while staying in the unit. As I would never question your account, we took all actions possible to secure the unit by changing the locks and lockbox. Security was notified and is on extra alert for anyone loitering who should not be. I am grateful that you enjoyed all that was available to you in the unit and the surrounding beautiful area of Makaha. We did our best to refund and reimburse you in a timely manner. We are truly sorry.

Beautiful place

I almost don’t want to write this review because this feels like a hidden gem! We spent 1 month in June 2021 in the unit. The unit has more than we needed, and a breathtaking view of the ocean. We had great nights of sleep listening to the waves and never felt hot even though it was summer with no AC. We loved sleeping with only the screen closed with the nice breeze coming in from the ocean. The full. Time residents there were very receptive of the visitors as long as you are respectful to their land which was nice to see following previous reviews. We loved staying in a local beach and away from the touristy activities in Waikiki. One piece of advice is you will definitely need a rental car here. We messed up our car rental and prices were crazy, there is a bus stop right outside on a good schedule but it takes a long time to get anywhere on the bus and you generally can’t get an Uber or Lyft there, lucky we got our situation fixed after a little while. As for the owners, Heather was always great to work with and super fast communication. We loved staying in beautiful Makaha.
