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.

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.

Real Hawaii

If we could give this studio 7 stars, we would! Anything it lacked in conveniences, Danny made up for in hospitality. From the time we landed he was in touch with directions, suggestions, and assistance. He was the perfect amount of helpful and respectful of our time and space. Every place he recommended seeing was amazing and every restaurant he suggested absolutely delicious.The studio itself was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The location was amazing. We were a short walk from a beautiful beach and loved being on the side of the island that kept us away from crowds and tourism. We felt like we got to see and enjoy “real Hawaii”. We would choose to stay here again and again. Thank you, Danny!

Great quite place to stay

We really enjoyed our stay here! The room was clean and had plenty of space for our luggage. They provided towels/beach towels and cooking suppies with a griddle. Danny made check in easy and was quick to reply whenever we needed anything. He even took us out surfing which was a great experience!.It is a little far from the big tour attractions so just plan on extra driving time with morning traffic. But the neighborhood is quite and only a 5 minute walk from a gorgeous beach.

A great location far from the tourist hordes, and a fabulous host made this feel like home. We loved the local feel and the family friendly beach (walking distance) which was mostly uncrowded in early April. Danny goes out of his way to be accommodating and helpful and we'll definitely stay here again when we make it back to Oahu.
