Wonderful hosts. I had a few issues and they were super responsive. Place was clean and comfortable. Aki's beach is a reason to come here if you like quiet and quaint Hawaii. Only small thing was there were no spices (not even salt and pepper) as in the description. There is a close grocery store for all needs. Thank you Joe for all of your help!! Hope to be back soon!!!

Everything about this place was perfect! The whole place was clean and comfortable. There were plenty of utensils and appliances for anything you could need. Lots of closet space and storage space. The bathroom was so big and the shower was amazing! I am short and most shower heads are way too high. I loved that this one adjusted according to your height. And, the different settings on it were great. I loved the surroundings of the property. Seeing beautiful mountains from one side and beach from the other was just what we wanted. There were no other large hotels surrounding us and deterring from our views. Having the security guard post with an actual person there, made it feel very secluded and definitely safe. We used to have chickens, roosters and a peacock for many years until he died of old age. So, having so many peacocks, pea hens and chickens around did my heart good.We were doing so much every day that we only got to the pool one time. It was in the evening and we were the only ones there. The pool, pool area and BBQ area were very nice. They had tiki torches lite and it created a nice ambiance.The host was amazing. Any time I had a question, he responded immediately. He also gave suggestions on places to go and where to see wildlife. Aki’s Beach was one place he sent us to see sea turtles. It did not disappoint. We saw at least 4 of them swimming along with a seal that was just lounging.I would definitely recommend this place!

The property itself was very clean and really beautiful. We did have some incidents with a couple of the front gate employees that were really rude and actually yelled at my friend twice when entering the property. We complained to the front office who said they would address it with them. Other than that, the only other complaint is that once you leave the property, a couple of miles away, you are surrounded by countless homeless tents and camps that line the Makaha beach. It was not in the best part of town, the homelessness is out of control. Not what you would expect in Hawaii. With all of that said, the host was great, their apartment was very nice, just wish that the Makaha beach wasn't overrun with homeless camps. We had to drive a ways to get to a beach that didn't have them camping everywhere.

It was a lovely well stocked unit - felt like home after a 2.5week stay. The shower is amazing. Cute kitchen with everything you need. Host was pleasurable, helpful, and diligent, ensuring my stay was error free. Television works well, has HDMI input so you can run video ouput from your laptop to it. The two beds are of different calibers. One firm and the other soft, who doesn't like choices? It is a very quiet unit with no-one on one side, nor below. During the Tsunami scare this month,the Makaha Towers were the place to be! The pool is also very lovely and clean. I would definitely stay here again. The Makaha beaches were perfect for the recluse I am. It may not be for everyone, but those that like to walk the path less traveled, this is the place for you. I will definitely return. BTW: Who knew Peacocks mew? That's what they sounded like to me. Cute! Didn't bother me at all.It's not a hotel, so don't go into it thinking it is. Think of it as an apartment and there are things you should be prepared to do for yourself. Observe and respond accordingly to parking strategies, and loading. It's a bit of a walk to the unit from the elevators (I usually took the stairs), but you get used to it. Also, the grounds of the towers are just amazing. The vegetation and the mountains are beautiful. I spent quite a bit of time stargazing from the 18th/19ths floors at night in the company of a cool breeze.

Very nice condo on west side of Oahu

Enjoyed our 28-day stay at Makaha. Nice condo unit. Spacious bathroom. One of the best we've had in 4 years with VRBO. Laundry is conveniently located on the same floor. Management staff are friendly and helpful. Like that there is 24/7 security. Condo location is a bit further than we like, but it has all the amenities we needed for our stay. Entry to unit at Core 1.

This property is very beautiful. The grounds are gorgeous. You are surrounded by mountains and beautiful gardens. Down the valley there is a nice and quiet beach. The neighbors are nice and friendly. There are wild peacocks on the property. We loved to watch them. Often we have seen the peacocks show off their beautiful feathers. It was an amazing experience. The apartment is clean and well stocked with everything you need while on vacation. The beds are comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay there.

Worked well for us.

Apartment was very clean. Great shower head. Bathroom well laid out. Beds were Ok and could benefit from a mattress topper. Well stocked kitchen. Recommend guests to empty the refrigerator when they leave. There were fresh food items we had to throw away as they had been in the fridge too long. Location is a bit out of the way, but it was fine in our case. We would definitely stay here again.

Needs updating

Beds very old. Had to sleep on the couch as springs left me with sore back and hips. Suggest at minimum 2-inch foam toppers on all beds. Kitchen cookware and stove need replacing. Shower needed thorough cleaning. Old food left in the refrigerator with mold. Otherwise, the views are great, the staff is very friendly and helpful. Would stay here again in the towers but different unit.

Love Makaha!!!

This was our 4th stay in Makaha and first time in Makaha Valley Towers. We absolutely love this part of the island as it is away from all the hubbub of the rest of the island. A rental car is a must due to the location but that was not unexpected for us. We arrive on the 4th of July and were overjoyed to hear the ooohs and aaaws for the fireworks in Peacock. While some may find the Peacocks off putting, we laughed at them and miss them now that we are away. Joe was very responsive and we only wish we had checked in before getting supplies as most of what we needed was already there. Parking is $4/day with an additional $50 deposition for the tag and needed to be paid in cash. The office was very flexible about returning with cash later so no worries. Upon leaving, when returning the parking pass, the $50 was returned which was a surprise as they said it was to be mailed. Check in was simple, stopped at security when arriving to get temp parking pass and went to the office the next morning. These people were very friendly and flexible. As for location, it is away from everything but everything is easily accessible. We enjoyed two evenings at the Kani Ka Pila grill in Waikiki listening to Sean Na’auao and Nathan Aweau who we absolutely love. We also enjoyed a Luau at Nutridge which was the best of the Luau’s we have done (Paradise Cove and Polynesian Cultural Center) and driving up the mountain we had a great view of the island that we had missed in our previous visits.

West Side

You do need a rental car as this side of the island is more off the beaten path. Perks of this are much less crowded beaches, a great taste of local flavour, west side. People are so friendly here. We enjoyed the security of our complex and even loved the peacocks that live on the property.

Rental

The unit was not as clean as stated. Rug and living room furniture needed to be cleaned as well as the drapery. Lots of stains. We believe there is mold on the trim in the living room, but not sure. Too much stuff stored in the unit, did not have enough room to unpack our clothes and be able to put them away. Had to move bins that where filled with towels and sheets and etc. Hardly any room in the closet also. The mattresses where very uncomfortable. I think the biggest thing was that they never got back to us on the process of checking out. The whole unit needs a good cleaning. There was only 1 key to the unit. It would be nice to have another.The property was beautiful and we enjoyed the pool and bbq area. Loved seeing all the Peacocks, but they are noisey. We didn,t mind though.

Good trip but...

My two week stay was pretty good. The condo was spacious but it had a few cockroaches, a few of which were dying. One found its way into a glass of wine I had on the floor; yuck. The living room rug and couch were soiled and in need of cleaning. The cushions were pretty worn. The patio door was hard to open and close and one shade didn’t work. The door in another condo I went to opened and closed with ease. The kitchen was fairly well equipped. But, as a wine drinker, not finding any wine glasses was a let down. If you are bothered by the sound of peacocks yelling loudly at night be sure to bring ear plugs. The condo complex has a number of peacocks on the property. One hung out below my balcone which was cool.

A home away from home!

I enjoyed the stay at Iosif's place. The place was clean, and the views from the balconies were fabulous. It is very thoughtfully equipped with everything you could need for visiting Oahu. The kitchen was well decked out for eating at home, and beach gear was also provided! Makaha beach, which is roughly a mile from the complex, was one of my favorite beaches. The host is also very responsive, and he was able to address all my questions and requests quickly. I would love to stay here again for a future Hawaii visit!
