People love Makaha for its year round beautiful weather, as rain is very rare here. Visitors say this is the real Hawaii. The beaches are raw, natural and pristine. In a few minute's drive is Yokohama Beach where the nature is uncontaminated by manmade construction. Within 25 minutes in close by Kapolei you will find all the shopping you need to stock up, movies, more golf, water park, and resorts.

Waikele premium outlet mall is also about 25 minutes away. Ala Moana Mall, the largest outdoor shopping mecca in the country and Famous Waikiki are an hour away.

Renting a car is highly recommended as shops and restaurants are all too far to walk....but the beach is outside your door. It's great to take a day to drive the entire island perimeter and see the famous North Shore, Haleiwa and white sand beaches of Kailua. The hustle and bustle of Waikiki is about 45 minutes away.

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.

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.

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🤗

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!!!

"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!
