Quiet and remote location but can be noisy
Property is at a quiet and remote beach. Expect to drive a hour or more to most of the popular stuff on the island. Assigned parking space is nice, but it's on the basement level which is prone to flooding in storms so keep that in mind. I had to reach out to the host the day of arrival because she did not send the check in instructions. Once I got a hold of her she sent them but I had issues opening the PDF she sent and she never got back to me asking for her to resend it. Luckily I was able to get it cleared up with VRBO but the host never checked. Reading other reviews communication can be an issue it seems. Other than that the property was as expected, homelessness is an issue in that area and it can be loud at night but overall fine.

As expected
We enjoyed our stay. It was perfect for my husband and myself. We never did receive our check-in info prior to arriving, however as soon as I sent a message a response was immediately received with easy check in instructions and an apology. We have previously stayed on this side of the island so knew what to expect; travel times to other parts of the island. It is out of the hustle of Waikiki, which we appreciate. Great ocean views and access to the beach. Everyone at the complex were very nice; staff and local residents:)

Makaha Shores is great place to visit and all we had hoped. It was a very clean, safe property, nice warm pool, friendly neighbors and a nice BBQ area. Ming was very helpful and quick to reply when we had a question. The condo had everything we needed, was very clean, and the beach/ocean view was fabulous! A little bit of paradise at a very reasonable price. We hope to return for sure!

Nice Clean Unit in Locals Area
Clean, comfortable, secure property on the beach at Makaha Shores. The pool was very clean. Nice bbq area with two propane grills that got nice and hot. Propane was always full. Bed and linens were very comfortable. The view was outstanding. Ming was very responsive and sweet. Would definitely stay again. The only thing that was odd was check in. We arrived after hours so we filled out the check in/parking form and attempted to bring it to the office in the morning, but could never find the manager. She kept taping more checki in sheets to our car and unit door. We ended up giving it to the maintenance man. Nothing happened; it was just weird.

We loved it here!
YES,parking to this unit is tight b/c of a post,so don’t rent an SUV if staying here,but it’s covered which is nice so your rental isn’t constantly in the sun. The loud music by locals on the beach happened 1 night out of 7. A call to police stopped it in less than 5 minutes. The condo itself is very quiet & there’s no noise after 9. As for locals yelling at us? Never,not once. Locals were the nicest,most polite people ever! The tent cities lined up along Fairington Hi-way on the beaches thru Waianae B4 getting to the condo are rampant. Lots of homeless people,but they don’t bother you. Once you get to Makaha Beach & the condo,there’s none. It’s a quiet, beautiful beach with locals surfing,boogie boarding,& groups in outriggers racing early morning or late eve. 1/2 way thru OUR stay,a filming crew took over the beach to film a movie! That was fun to watch! The condo is older,but so well maintained inside & out,you feel like you’re staying in a new place. Awesome views! New cupboards,countertops,the bathroom is all new,but door to unit & lanai doors are older. The unit is very well equipped! Even a cooler we used DAILY for lunch picnics. Sadly the beach umbrella was broken. I do wish there was an ironing board,even a tabletop 1,since they had an iron. There’s NO AC! A.M. & eve is fabulous with fans provided,open lanai doors & louvers on unit door(best sleeping ever!)but have plans to be gone 10a.m.-7p.m.,it gets warm in there. Want remote & beautiful? This is it!

Not clean or ready at check in time.
Flight landed at 12:30, at 3:30 still no word from manager as to check in codes. Called VRBO to get codes. Manager finally called me around 4:30. The room not cleaned/ready “I forgot you were coming, I’ll try to get someone out to clean unit”. At 9:00 pm we finally decided to just head to the room… still wasn’t clean (in process). After cleaning person left (9:30) we observed…mold around shower, mold in coffee pot, no sheets on bed (had to make bed ourselves), old food left in refrigerator (not cleaned), no working wi-fi. This was unacceptable. We got a full refund for 7 nights. Good price for a hotel if you don’t mind mold or places that aren’t clean.

Best beach on Oahu
This property is located adjacent to the best beach on Oahu. The surfing during wave season is amazing and the swimming and snorkeling during the reminder of the year is wonderful. The property itself is well equipped with all that you need including beach chairs, beach towels, snorkeling gear, sunscreen, spices (the coffee maker needed some attention),full sized appliances-everything you need for a perfect stay. This unit’s parking space is extremely tight-anything over a midsize car is a challenging fit. Driving to the unit you pass many homeless encampments but the unit itself is very secure. The view from the unit is amazing!!! We required assistance from Ming and she was amazing as well. This unit is one of the best I’ve ever stayed in. Oh and, the Thai/Viet food truck at the beach is absolutely delicious!

Condo is from the 70’s but has been upgraded. Nice views of beach and ocean. Friendly environment. Loud music from beach annoying at times. Property manager missed a message I sent regarding an issue that need immediate attention. She contacted me a day later and was apologetic. Just an honest mistake. We enjoyed our time here and would definitely consider staying again.
