Pool condo
The house was beautiful and very clean. Easy check in and great amenities. The beach was a little bit of a walk but a great beach to see turtles and cool off. Beware of lots of dogs in the neighborhood. There is also no access to turn on pool waterfalls or hot tub and hours of operation were set by owner. The water was very cool to swim in as well. Overall we were very satisfied as they had a washer/dryer and soaps provided. Would definitely recommend.

Loved the place that we stayed and it was very clean and comfortable. Beautiful property. It was further away from a lot of the activities we did so that would be a downside, but it was very secluded in private and we really liked that.

A slice of real Hawaii!
This wonderful property is perfect for those looking for a chance to get away from the hoardes and manufactured feel of the Ko Olina resorts. (In my opinion, you don’t even feel like you are even in Hawaii there!) But it was still close enough for us to easily and quickly get to all of the wedding related events there that brought us to Oahu. The Makaha corner of Oahu is mostly populated with local residents. We enjoyed the authntic vibe! We spent a few days relaxing and exploring the area’s beaches, and especially LOVED the hike to Ka’Ena point, which we did 2 times! But we didn’t mind the hour or so drive to it took to get to Hanauma Bay, the North Shore, and Kailua Beach. (We found that the highways of Oahu make getting around so much easier than on Maui.) The beautiful home and property itself is very accurately described by the home owner and the other reviews. We had no issues with maintaining a comfortable temperature in the unit. Crowing roosters are a part of the Hawaiian experience and did not bother us. The barking dogs were a minor nuisance. But we didn’t really hear them much from inside the unit. There was salt, pepper, oil & some spices. You will need to bring coffee or tea and sugar. We had a great stay and would eagerly return!

Great place to lay our heads at night
We enjoyed our stay here very much! Yes, the guest "house" is attached to the owners main home, however if the owners were there, we did not see or hear them at all in the 7 days we were there. All windows near the pool had partitions and closed blinds. The house was clean and we loved that it included beach towels, toys, chair, life jackets, etc. as did the pool. Everything we needed was available to us aside from food. The roosters did go off in the morning but we were always awake before they did so it never bothered us. There are some neighborhood dogs that barked like crazy but nothing the home owners can do about that and again, it was always after we woke. The beds/pillows were very comfortable. Aki/Turtle Beach was a nice little neighborhood beach but we did not see any turtles out unfortunately. The only downside for us was that the location was quite out of the way of basically everything we wanted to do on the island, which was again not the owners fault at all but I feel like it's something to mention. All in all, it was a nice place and suited our needs!

Best rental ever!!
We cannot rave enough about this beautiful rental property!! I usually do not rent places where the landlords are right there but Cynthia and her family could not have been more accommodating. Although this rental is attached to their house we virtually never saw them. They gave us all of the privacy we needed and were so quiet yet whenever we had a question they answered right away. The rental is beautiful and fully equipped with everything you could ever need. Everything is brand new and spacious. The west shore is not a popular tourist spot and a little rougher than some of the other shores but we felt completely safe at this rental and thoroughly enjoyed exploring and visiting the many gorgeous beaches close by. We could not have been happier with this rental. We would highly recommend Cynthia and her beautiful rental to anyone who wants a wonderful vacation on Oahu!! Thank you so much Cynthia for your wonderful hospitality.

The house is connected to the owners!
This is a beautiful house however you are literally connected to the owners house and share the backyard and pool with them. They watch you the entire time you’re in the backyard and it’s strange. I’ve stayed in many VRBO’s and never shared a house or backyard with the owners. You’re not allowed to bring ANY guests to the house so if you have family you can’t bring them to the place you’re staying. Also there are cameras watching you at all times outside which is uncomfortable. There’s no privacy and when we travel and pay for a place to stay it’s not intended that we’ll be babysat by owners. Had o known this we wouldn’t have stayed at this house. The owners windows are open all the time so you literally have no privacy! The pictures are exactly what it looks like inside but they fail to show the outside and explain what part is their house and what’s yours. The pool picture doesn’t show the house either so you can see the windows that look straight to the backyard of the owners house. Also it’s a bit hot in the house and you can’t control the A/C it’s locked. If you don’t mind sharing common areas and being watched then this house is perfect! The owner should be very specific on the description and tell you the details of them living on property in a connecting house and sharing a backyard with them!

Not exactly what we were expecting.
There were pros and cons. First unit was very clean and contact for property was easily available by text message. Pool area a little disappointing water falls only ran for two hours a day from 7:45 am to 9:45 am. Not enough glassware nice assortment of appliances. Major con was surrounding neighborhood and the chicken coop behind the house with roosters which started crowing at 3:30 am, luckily second night we found the noise maker, beach near place was very small with a lot of litter on it and more than a few steps from house . At least an hour drive to anywhere like Pearl Harbor,Waikiki and airport.

Small Town Splendid Retreat
Great value for a beautiful 2br guest-house-style unit, tucked away on a quiet street, hardwood floors throughout and 5-minute walk to a beach spot where turtles sunbathe! Up-to-date kitchen with high quality countertops and appliances. Washer and dryer in the unit plus flat screen TV in each room. Pull the car right up to the front door. Location is 45 min from HNL airport, so distant suburbs in a more rural setting. Local flavor with roosters, 2-lane roads and a small town atmosphere. Beautiful, uncrowded west-facing beaches and Pacific sunsets are a couple of miles north; we enjoyed not being packed in urban Honolulu with overpriced accommodations. We were often the only ones for morning walks on the beach - we didn’t think this possible on Oahu. Although note the trade-off is a bit of a drive for fine dining, shopping or Waikiki city lights.

Just a wonderful place in paradise 🌺
This is the best place to stay! We loved the location! The home is just like in the pictures and even nicer in person. The pool was beautiful and very refreshing after a day in the sun. The hostess (Cynthia) was always willing to answer any questions we had and was very detailed! We definitely plan to come back next year ! The beaches which are many are very close and not as crowded as the ones in Waikiki or the North shore and in my opinion more beautiful. Two large bedroom and two full bathrooms and a fully equipped kitchen! Appears to he like an in-law suite but very well appointed with hard wood floors and upscale decor throughout the home . In the charming neighborhood it was probably the nicest home. Thanks again for letting us rent your beautiful home! Loved it All The Hedgepeth’s PS —Feral chickens are a real in Hawaii (google it no joke)—-The neighbors Chicken which does start around 4 was faint and the house was well insulted. Simply put it was a minor allowance and definitely tolerable!

Wonderful Property
Our family had a great time at this property. Owner was very nice, responsive and easy to work with. Pool was great, house was clean and has all the amenities a family would need. As other people mentioned, yes there are chickens next door but you can plan on hearing those anywhere outside of downtown, including fancy resorts. The West side was a little bit of a drive every day, but totally worth it for the privacy and awesome beaches nearby.

It was fine. We were there 10 days. Cynthia and Eldon are very nice. When something came up, they handled it immediately. The upstairs home was nice and clean. Newer appliances. Everything is well kept. We visited the beach several times, saw turtles and other interesting ocean life in the tide pools. Keep the portable fans going at night & you won't hear the roosters at the neighbors. The people there are very nice. Yes we would go again.

Our Oahu experience was an excellent one! Our host Cynthia was prepared with answers to all our questions that were asked with a quick response. Our stay was pleasant with an excellent home with washer and dryer and all that you could ask for especially after long hiking days. Truly the comforts of home... The home was clean and inviting.. I recommend this home for my family and friends...and you! Truly Blessed to have this 'off-the-beaten-path and local hideaway. Oh, and btw, the roosters did not bother us even with their rootin' as there was a white noise machine in the bedroom. Thank you again and we sure hope to be back soon!

Family trip in Hawaii!
The house was beautiful, clean, easy to access. Thw home did not have anywhere for our son to sleep so we ended up borrowing a pack and play from a friend. The rooms had more than enough space for the pack and play with extra space for our clothes and suitcases. The walk to the beach was only about 5 minutes! The home is located in a nice neighborhood. The home is within the west shore so there is not any tourist attractions near the home. There is a small restaurant about 5 miles down the road that was fantastic and there are some food trucks that stop on the corner that we went to a few times. The owners were quick to respond with anything we needed. The pool was a bit cold but it was the winter. So we only went to it once. I did give 4 stars for the neighbors for a few reasons. One was when we were at the pool, the neighbor had a dog pin right next to the wall so from the pool you could smell the dog poop. The other thing is, the roosters. There were not one. Not two. But maybe 15. They start at about 5 am and don't stop crowing until about 10 pm. It was funny for the first few days but at about the 4th day it was a bit much.The rooms had noise machines to help drown out the sound which helped but if you had the bedroom windows open it sounded as if the roosters were in the room. There have been reviews with the windows not opening. The handles were taken off of the windows in the main room but the bedrooms were able to open. The thermostat also had a box over it but the temperature was comfortable for all of us. Overall it was a great home in a non tourist area. Perfect if you want secluded space and a wonderful home.

Wonderful spacious unit on west end of Oahu
All aspects of our stay were very positive (except perhaps the roosters crowing at 2 am next door). Beautiful surroundings near ocean access to watch sea turtles. A 45 minute drive to Waikiki and major attractions but worth the effort to have less commercialization. Hosts were very responsive and gracious.

Very nice property located away from the hustle and bustle of the big city. Nice beach minutes walk from property. Hidden gem of a beach where you can see sea turtles. Several other beaches nearby. Only downsides, you would need a car to see the island. Can take about an hour to get to Waikiki. This was not an issue for us, we knew about it and planned for it. Preferred to stay in a quieter area. The other downside was the roosters. The neighbor had chickens in the backyard and the roosters woke us up early every morning. We are from the east coast so we were up early anyway due to the 6 hour time difference

Nice get away
The home it’s very nice there were only three things that I didn’t notice on the reviews. The unit is up a flight of stairs, which I was not aware of. My sister-in-law just had knee surgery, but we did manage. The other is the rooster, most reviews made light of it, but personally it bothered me because it does grow nonstop for several hours. Other than that it’s a bit of a drive to the rest of the island but it’s a beautiful home.

Loved this secluded Home
The property is lovely and in a quiet location. The turtle beach is beautiful. Make sure to go to the beach in the afternoon at high tide to sea the big turtles sunning. The home is cozy and has everything needed. We cook breakfast and dinner everyday without needing anything but the food. Pool is spectacular with the waterfall, and the owner even changed the time it turned on. The owner was very helpful, when we got there the temp was at 75 and they sent Art to change it to 71. There are floor fans as well and it was so comfortable. This is a guest home and so there were others in the main house but we had the use of the pool and almost never saw them. The friendly roosters made sure to let us know they were there each day but didn't disturb our sleep. We would definitely stay again.

Amazing beach access with sea turtles!
Our party included my husband and myself, his elderly parents (82 & 75), and our children (ages 7 & 10). From the youngest to the oldest, we all enjoyed our stay at this property. Aki’s Beach is a hidden gem, a 2 minute walk from the property, and so picturesque. We found sea turtles sleeping there in the morning, and they swam with us in the afternoons. The property owners are so wonderful and were very quick to respond to any questions we had. If you are looking for a more quiet place to stay, away from the high tourist traffic, but still close to everything Honolulu has to offer, I highly recommend this place.
