This is such a great find! We wanted to stay in a quieter place on Oahu. We found this gem before our trip. Danny was the best host ever. Communicated very well. Set us up with everything we needed. Hooked us up with surf lessons and told us all the tasty places to eat. I can’t recommend this place enough. If you want a quiet place to stay on Oahu on the part of the island where the real culture is, this is the place for you.

My husband and I stayed here for our 5 yr anniversary and we couldn't have been happier!!! Danny and Michelle were so kind and easy to talk with. They had wonderful recommendations for watching sunsets and awesome restaurants with local foods. This was my first time to Hawaii and they made us both feel right at home! We will be booking again with them in the future! I couldn't have asked for more!

Hands down. Best host ever. Daniel was fantastic and very helpful in getting to know the area. His surf lesson was very affordable and worth every penny. The area is not commercialized, so if you're looking to escape the city and want just a relaxing city to hang out in, then book here. The room has everything you need. A bed, AC unit, shower, toilet, and refrigerator/microwave. I would definitely stay here again if I visit Oahu.

The studio is located in North-West Oahu. This is the "Real Hawaii". We liked it very much. Because it is located an hour from the main airport, you will need to rent a car to stay in this part of Hawaii.

Bertrand

Liked: Amenities
This is a garage suite off the owner's bungalow. Great if you are a surfer boy or maybe an adventurous cheap young couple, but do not bring your bride there. This is NOT A HONEYMOON SUITE. Studio is functional and convenient. Amenities are as seen on pictures. No BBQ. Everything is a bit aged and worn. The place needs some TLC. Communication with the owner was limited. If you need something, you must ask. The owner is not really proactive. However, if you want a surfing lesson, he is your man. Cleanliness was borderline in the garage, which happens to be your "private entrance". The inside of the apartment was okay. The (shared) fridge was dirty. Do some research on Makaha before you book. It might be your surfer's dream (great waves), but Makaha has a homelessness problem that may trigger your sense of safety. I wouldn't walk there at night. Even parking your car out of sight feels like a mistake. Half the local beaches and public waterfronts are covered with "tent cities" and the accompanying liter. Never again. Spend the money and visit the east shore or the north shore.

Great Studio

The studio was nice, clean, and a perfect size for one or two people. Immediately felt like home and unko danny was kind, hospitable, and easy to get in touch with. for those not from the area, mākaha stay pretty far away from a lot of major conveniences and staying in the country does mean the occasional roach inside (canʻt necessarily be prevented) just so you are aware. the studio had everything i needed during my one week. it was a great value and i would stay again.

Very nice people

The hosts were very nice and helpful. Our studio apartment was very spacious and clean. The bed was extremely comfortable. It was nothing fancy but that was fine for us. The neighborhood was quiet and away from Honolulu (which is what we wanted). There was some rooster noise early in the mornings but with the air conditioning on, you couldn’t hear it. We were very pleased.
