Had a great time at Hale Makai. Having the concierge service to contact with any issues was a great bonus. The views are stunning, the pool is a great alternative as you can't swim right out front. Easy walk to many places such as parks or down to Waikiki. We hosted a family gathering for my extended family from Australia one evening and booked the Private Chefs on offer for the night. It was brilliant! To bring family together in such a great setting was the perfect end to our family reunion.

Gorgeous home, spacious living area with huge breakfast bar and dining table. Kitchen very well equipped. Location on the ocean was spectacular. Very quiet neighborhood. Walking distance to outskirts of Waikiki. Everything you could possibly need for a fantastic Hawaiian vacation. My family loved it!

One of our favorite AirBnbs we’ve ever stayed in! The house was gorgeous, exactly as pictured (if not better). The location was amazing, 5 min for everything we wanted to visit in Honolulu. The team was fantastic, helped me arrange baby equipment rental and in house massages. Perfect size for our group (three adults, two kids). Stocked with everything you would need for a visit, we stayed a week. The pool and house were immaculately cleaned.

The communication from the host was above and beyond what we expected. Check-in was done remotely with key-less entry to the property. The property is set off the main road and is extremely private. And the property itself was breathtaking. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed cooling off during the day in the pool, and listening to the waves crash on shore at night. Thanks to the open design of the kitchen (with an amazing view of the sea), dining area, and family room, cooking each night became a family affair. We had one minor issue with the garage during our stay, and thanks to a quick response from the host, it was addressed and fixed immediately. My family had the most relaxing getaway and feel recharged physically and mentally as we return to “life.” We would highly recommend the property!

This location was amazing! Grant was very helpful and very accommodating (he was able to give my parents who were staying there late check out). The oceanfront property was spectacular to stay at for those who want to get away from the hustle of Waikiki while staying within walking / short drive distance. The front door was broken and kept on swinging open which was annoying but it was a minor annoyance. The driveway is tight so it’s hard to turn a larger car around. Just FYI for those who plan on staying here. It’s definitely doable but we did use a second person to spot. We will stay here again.

I loved the house. Perfect for a family get away. Grant the property manager was fantastic in providing local knowledge and responding to our requests. I highly recommend this property!
