We recently stayed at Makana's place with our 14 year-old daughter and found the place to be more than adequate. Arrived late at night but instructions for entry were very clear. The common area included a kitchen, dining area, and living room and was very spacious. We had our breakfasts there before heading out to visit with family or going to the beach. It was very comfortable and we could have spent more time there if we did not know anyone in Oahu. Our only complaint was the soft mattress on the bed in the master bedroom. Also, our daughter would have preferred her own space for her bed which was in the common area. The town and beach of Kailua are the nicest on the island, in our view, with lots of options for kayaking, windsurfing and kiteboarding, and we would love to return again.

Aloha, Im very happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay. I apologize for the soft mattress in the master bedroom (my fault, I like a soft mattress). Also, this property does have the option of reserving it as a 2 bedroom (or a 3 bedroom) that way your daughter would have had her very own room. I hope to see you all again soon! Mahalo.

Thank you for letting us staying at your place - it is spacious, comfortable, and close to the beach. Mahalo!

Thank you!

The rental was absolutely beautiful and well furnished. The only reason I rated it a 4 out of 5 is because the rental does not have a stove which for us was a much during the holiday season. The owner was gracious enough to allow us to use hers.

There is a stove top along with a convection oven in the house that is large enough to cook a turkey.

Nice owner and clean environment. The owner bought a nice fruit basket as a welcome gift. The restaurant recommendations in the tour aid book are excellent. The room is equipment with everything you need should you need to cook or bar-b-que. It is not far from nice beaches!

My pleasure...

The unit we rented was cozy, and super clean, which was extremely appreciated. Even though I expected to be only 3 blocks from the beach, per the information received through my initial booking, the unit was definitely worth the distance. Thank you so much. Debbie

Thank you.

We were extremely surprized at the grandeur of the place. The pictures on the email do not do justice to the place. We really felt as if we were in our own house with no interference from the landlords. The great part was the availability of towels etc. There was no view of course but it also gave us a feeling of living like an Hawiain Thanks again.

Happy to hear you had a great time.

Very comfortable, quiet and easy to find. Conveniently close to Honolulu. Just a short 20 minute ride over the Pali Hwy. The Kauliua area beaches are quite beautiful. We live on Kauai and would very much like to rent Makana's Place again for our Oahu excursions.
