Amazing month-long stay

Absolutely lovely and spacious studio. Very clean and well-equipped with everything you need in the kitchen and for the beach. Great pool and grill area. I loved working from home here with the beautiful view. Wonderful owner to communicate with. The location, of both the unit within the towers and the towers themselves, could not be better. I can't wait to come back.

Spectacular!!

Beautiful property!! We were very happy and enjoyed our stay. The condo was plenty of space for the two of us. Enjoyed breakfast out on the lanai every morning. The view is absolutely breathtaking with the mountains and ocean. The sunsets were also pretty spectacular. The condo had everything we needed to cook. Especially loved access to the barbecue and all the beach accessories. Would definitely stay again. Thanks Bob and Peggy for use of your wonderful space!

Amazing accommodations, best kept secret on the west side.

Every time we come to Oahu, we always reach out to Robert and stay in one of his condos at Makaha towers. His units are clean, and equipped with all the living essentials. We love the view from the balcony and the serene atmosphere. We cannot wait to go back and stay at the towers again. Thank you for accommodating us all the time.

Extremely dated, original unit that needs work and is dysfunctional.

This unit is very dated (mostly original) and is dysfunctional. The bathroom needs lots of work, there are ant traps all over the unit interior, it is extremely difficult to wash dishes in the very tiny double sink and the bright light shines in from the exterior light at night and from the floor to ceiling windows in the early a.m., due to no room darkening blinds on the windows. The a/c ducts also need vacuming/cleaning. We would NOT rent this unit again.

No Place Like Paradise

It was truly a lovely stay. The condo/room has a breath-taking view of gorgeous mountains and beaches/ocean. I could have stayed in all day and been happy. For a truly "local" experience, there isn't a better place to stay. The close markets and restaurants are nothing like the "Waikiki Tourist Trap." Save your money and enjoy "real Hawaii!"

Amazing view from the balcony!

First we 'avoided' these Makaha Towers, when searching for the accomodation for our holiday. We were so glad we booked this! We really enjoyed our stay at this beautifully decorated apartment. It felt very cozy. There was evetything you needed. There is a good BBQ place beside the pool as well, which we used almost every day! View from the balcony is amazing! The place is quiet and clean. Really nice beach is only 20 min walk down the street (or 2 min by car). The hosts were very helpful and easy to contact. We would defenitely stay there again!

Delightful stay . . . . magnificent view

I spent 4 nights in this studio apartment on the 10th floor. The unit is located at the west end of the building which gives it a beautiful view from the balcony to the beaches and ocean beyond.. While it is a studio with a Murphy bed, it is very spacious with the bed hidden, and the bed is quite comfortable. We used the pool and barbecue area which were well maintained and, amazingly, for such a large complex, hardly used at all. Peggy and Bob were on the premises at the time and could not have been more helpful. All in all, it's a great place to stay, away from the hustle and bustle of Honolulu. I heartily recommend it.
