Ke'ala Kai: Enjoy paradise for less in picturesque Makaha Valley

Relax and enjoy Oahu’s beautiful West side for far less than you would pay at a hotel. We have a laid-back vibe and the sparkling, turquoise Pacific Ocean is just one mile down the hill. Fantastic, uncrowded beaches await. The unobstructed ocean and mountain views from the lanai are spectacular. Perfect at sunset or any time of day.

Our studio unit is bright and cheery. You'll find a comfortable queen bed and a full kitchen with ample cooking tools and utensils. Coffee maker, microwave, rice cooker, blender, food processor. Granite counter tops, a stainless steel fridge and glass-top range. The dining area has a newly repainted counter-height table and stools.

Our comfortable sofa is great for just chilling or watching TV. We have a 42-inch smart TV with Spectrum cable with high-speed wifi.

Out on the lanai, you'll find two deck chairs and a drink table to enjoy your morning coffee or a cold beverage while taking in the verdant Waianae Mountains and the beautiful, blue Pacific Ocean. You will rarely find these spectacular, unobstructed views at any price.

Ultra-clean bathroom with a great step-in shower that features unlimited hot water. Soft, comfy bath towels and over-sized beach towels.

We provide beach chairs, an umbrella, body boards, a cooler and ice packs, perfect for a day at the beach. The famous Makaha Beach Park is nearby as are Pokai Bay Beach Park, Makua Beach and Yokohama Bay. Ko Olina Resort is half an hour away.

The grounds feature soothing landscaping, leading to a pristine salt-water pool surrounded by a stone deck with umbrella-shaded tables or chaise lounges to stretch out on.

Near the pool is an excellent barbecue and picnic area with six clean, well-kept gas grills and ample picnic tables to enjoy outdoor dining. It's a really cool area when the tiki torches are lit after sundown.

Free parking and central air. 24/7 in-house security. Same-floor laundry room.

Perfect for singles, couples, retirees, traveling nurses, remote workers.

29-night minimum rental.

Joe was fantastic about communicating with us! The view was great. Everyone kept telling us how far away it was but we loved it as we are not city people. Would absolutely recommend it if you want outside the city!

Owner and suite lovely. Suiye has pretty much all you need and killer view as its right on the end, ocean side.Considering its in a remote area, you would think its quiet and peaceful. Lots of traffic, busses, residents of the building leaving around 5am blasting over the speedbumps. The area is not close to anything to walk. So a short stay at the price parkimg os okblastingoover speedbumps.

Everything you need to have a comfortable getaway!! This was the perfect location for us to rest after a long day exploring the island. Amazing sunrises and sunsets from the balcony, set against a dramatic mountain + ocean view. Host was very thorough and provided many great recommendations for the area. Thank you so much!!

We were two people staying at the apartment. Joe is a wonderful host and has lovely tips & tricks handy. We would recommend Joes place, because of the stunning ocean view. You can view the sunset while eating on the balcony!

We had events planned on the west side of the Island of Oahu so we decided to stay in Makaha and were very pleased to find this studio property. It was perfect for the two of us. Great ocean and mountain views from the room. A convenient little kitchen to make meals. The host supplied plenty of towels and linens as well as the laundry detergent for the washer and dryer which were located down the hall.The property staff and security were very polite and accomodating. Nice pool area too. Overall we had a very relaxing stay. Mahalo Joe

The property was marketed as a 1 bedroom but turned out to be a studio. There was very little comfortable furniture to sit on and a very small table to eat at. The general area was not as appealing as other places we have stayed at in Hawaii. Some of the beaches had homeless tents and the general area was more run down that other places we have stayed at. They had very tight security due to the general safety in the area. The complex was nice but isolated as there were few places to eat at and the golf course down the street was not in good condition. If you want a quiet getaway it is nice except for the peacocks and the chickens which could keep you up. Overall, the place was very small even for two people and due to the security concerns not a place we would come back to.

Out of the way for most of the touristy stuff, but stunning view when you wake up in the morning. Amazing shower pressure and temperature stays HOT. Water filter on sink was nice. Locks a little temperamental. Not being upfront about having to pay the office for parking in the listing and finding out after I booked it with no cancellation policy was a tad uncool.

If you want a seamless booking, this is NOT THE PLACE for you. The listing does NOT include the parking and extra fees you have to pay like cash deposit, and damage insurance fee. Also, the owner will spam you with so many messages instead of consolidating instructions. It doesnt help that this booking is nonrefundable.

Absolutely loved the location and views. Everything we needed and the most beautiful west side views. If you want tourist spots, picn elsewhere. But as for more local vibes and absolute beautiful sunsets and beach access. Peacocks everywhere, which are gorgeous but noisy. Sound a like cats crying, it didn't bother us but someone who is a light sleeper might not love this. Lastly the cleaniness of the place left some room for improvement, bedding was dirty and we had to wash all dishes and silverware before using. I feel like this might have been just an oversight, but overall we loved our stay and would stay again. I just hope a little more attention to the cleanliness in the future. Thank you for sharing your home with us. Honestly loved the place.

This condo has a stunning view of both the mountains and ocean, and the grounds are both safe (gated with 24-hour security) and beautiful. (If you’ve never seen peacocks up close, you’re in for a treat!) The unit is clean, well-maintained (with a beautiful new shower), and amply stocked with towels, dishes, and other amenities. It’s on the small side but perfect for one or two people. The bed and bedding were comfortable. But the highlight is the patio set on the balcony, because that’s where you’ll want to relax when you’re not out enjoying the island. This end of the island is very non-touristy and locals-only, so there are not a lot of restaurants or attractions. But the beaches are gorgeous and free of crowds, and the people could not be friendlier. The host was on-top of communications at all times and very easy to work with. He provided very detailed info about places to eat, local attractions, navigating this part of the island, visitor information in general, and even updates on local road construction. I’ve stayed at lots of rentals, and I’ve never gotten that level of information. Plus his restaurant and bar recommendations were spot-on! I would be happy to stay here again.
