Book with confidence! This property is professionally managed by Ali'i Beach Rentals, an award-winning property management company.
Escape to this stunning paradise retreat, tucked away in the tranquil beauty of Makaha Valley—worlds apart from the bustle of Honolulu. Surrounded by lush mountains and island breezes, this private getaway features a custom-built deck and gazebo designed for unforgettable outdoor living. Whether you're grilling under the stars, rinsing off in the open-air shower after a beach day, or simply lounging with a drink in hand, the backyard offers endless relaxation and entertainment, day or night.
The cottages at Mauna Olu are a newly developed family oriented gated community with 24 hour security on Oahus famous west side. The 26 acre community features 118 homes situated within the breathtaking Makaha Valley, and is located at the foot of Mount Kaala of the Waianae Mountain Range, the tallest mountain on Oahu. Makaha Valley is one of the largest on the leeward coast. Mauna Olu is the perfect getaway from urban city life, ideal for enjoying peaceful starry nights and a resort-like ambiance while preserving a cozy home away from home feeling. World famous Makaha Beach known for its world class surfing is a mere 5 minutes away and frequently boasts some of the best weather on Oahu. It's also known for incredible snorkeling and scuba diving as well when the waters are calm. The westside of Oahu is home to some of the most beautiful white sand beaches on earth frequented by countless pods of dolphins. At the Makaha Valley Country Club you can play at an exclusive golf course located at the base of the Waianae mountains. Known for its varied challenging doglegs and breathtaking elevation changes, it is one of the most enjoyable courses in the island chain to improve one's golf skills. Numerous outdoor hikes abound throughout the area, which are sure to delight any outdoor enthusiast. Perhaps the most famous is the Kaena Point state park, a bird sanctuary hike at the westernmost tip on Oahu, known for having some of the biggest waves on earth! In Hawaiian lore, it's known as a jumping off place for souls to enter the afterlife... You can definitely feel the mana (power) everywhere here! When a taste of the city life calls, Makaha is 16 miles away from the urban offerings of Kapolei, home to such exciting attractions like the waterpark, Ko Olina golf course and the Disney Aulani resort and its multiple shops and restaurants. There is no shortage of excitement in store for the entire family!

Excellent place with all needed amenities. We all enjoyed the stay and had a great time.Thank you
We were so happy we chose this house for our mother-daughter trip. 7 of us enjoyed comfortable beds and everything this house offered, especially the backyard and the view. From upstairs rooms, we could even see the ocean. We had a little trouble with the dryer not working properly but when we messaged the property manager, someone came and tried to fix the issue promptly. Thank you for sharing your house!

Reviewer Comments:
The property was perfect and had everything we needed for our stay. While it seemed a little out of the way and remote the Beach at Makaha (take a right at the lights at the bottom of the road) was a beauty which we only discovered on our last day. Safe, secure and stunningly beautiful location.We were disappointed not to have access tonthe pool and gym facilities during our stay and hope that this is available in future. The house itself was amazing and perfect for our group of 8 adults.

Reviewer Comments:
This home was everything and more for our family vacation in O'ahu. Entry: Easy access, they gave us a code so that we did not have to deal with a key, and everyone was able to enter the house at any time. Kitchen: Fully stocked on everything you can think of - from plates, silverware, cups, cooking tools/utensils, and spices/condiments. We believed that the condiments were left behind by previous visitors, and we did the same with our unused things as well. Bathrooms: Everything was clean and well stocked. There were plenty of extra towels, and they provide complimentary travel sized shampoo, conditioner, and lotion. Bedrooms: Bedrooms were clean and the beds were comfortable. Beach Going: They provided 8 beach towels, and had sunscreen, aloe vera, and bug spray available right at the entrance. They also provided cute sun hats!Backyard: spacious, comfy patio furniture, and even an outdoor shower! Best of all, you can see the beautiful ocean from the yard. There was also a grill, but we did not use it during our stay. Overall, I would highly recommend this stay. The only caveat is how far it is from the popular tourist destinations, but it was refreshing to see a part of Hawaii that isn't very touristy. I felt very safe as well, since it is in a gated community with a friendly greeter at the front gate 24/7. All of the rooms had their own individual A/Cs so we were able to keep cool during the hot day.
It took a long time to get to many destinations because of heavy traffic and being outside of the big town but the quietness of the location and safety we felt there was worth it.

We absolutely loved staying in this house for our vacation. It was beautiful, there is an amazing local beach 5 minutes away. Everything was in pristine condition. Amazing views! You do have to drive about an hour into cities if you want “touristy” explorations but we loved the peaceful visit here.

Absolutely beautiful. Everything was clean. Nothing was broken The yard was well Manicured, The staff people were friendly renting this place literally made my vacation so much better. Thank you.
We stayed here for 3 nights with our 2 kids. The neighborhood is well kept and has a security guard at the entry. The house is exactly as listed. The interior is kept clean and everything seems in good working order and new. The A/C's in each room work really well. The best part is the back patio -- it has comfortable seating and it's landscaped well. The only item that needs attention is the washing machine. The rubber gasket on the door is dirty/mildew and we tried to clean it but it still smelled bad. Perhaps a guest left wet items in there too long. We opted to not use the washing machine. I would stay here again even with the washing machine issue.
