Makaha towers
This property is a perfect spot for exploring the island. Peaceful and still plenty of things to see and do, If you don’t mind driving a bit. Stayed 10 days and explored the island. Would stay on west side again if we return ( which I’m sure we will:). East side and north shore were beautiful but too busy for our liking. Was nice to come back to the peacefulness of this area. Went whale watching from marina just 10 minutes away. Seen several whales and 2 dolphins and went snorkeling with sea turtles. Would highly recommend Dolphin excursions snorkel adventures. Our all women crew were the best.

Breathtaking Ocean and Mtn Views
My family (4) including our daughter who attends UH, spent part of our Thanksgiving vacation here in Makaha Valley Towers. It was our first stay out of Wakiki and it was great. The condo was perfect. Fully stocked with everything we needed. It literally had EVERYTHING! Just like home..The beds were comfortable, and the views from the balcony were unbelievable. Golfing in the am before starting our day was great. The golf course was close and there are beaches and beach parks that are close as well. I cant say enough about the view. We did do some excursions this trip, so just know you are about an hour away from most locations. We knew that going in, so it was perfect. But really if you want to just relax at the pool or bbq or take in the views , you would never have to leave. Also don't get discouraged with the surrounding neighborhoods on your way to the towers. It is a local vibe and not a touristy vibe. We tried a local restaurant Coquitos and the food was great! There is also a guidr/info book in the condo with lists of suggestions. Don't miss out on this wonderful part of the island. Great sunsets!!! Thank you Kyong for sharing your home. Maria. Tom, Natalie and Mia

Great location
The location is great for easy access to beaches and activities. Quiet hotel with nice views of overlooking The ocean and a possible future golf course.

NOT AS LISTING STATES
The drive to the property is not a good one. You drive through pretty rough areas to get to the property. The listing states there is beautiful beaches minutes away but does not state that they have been taken over by the homeless and each beach is actually a homeless encampment. The sheets in the master bedroom were dirty upon our arrival and the walls in the entire condo are filthy. We contact the property management company who then contacted the owners and we were told they would not do anything about it. We made the decision to leave as we did not feel safe and could not sleep in a dirty place and ended up at the hotel near by. I want to warn anyone who plans to rent this place that it is not anything like what is listed.

Response from VrboOwner on Mar 22, 2020
Charla, the homeowner would like to share the following message: "Aloha Charla, I’m so sorry to hear that your visit to the Makaha Towers was not what you expected. I was informed by the caretaker, Desiree, that you contacted her to inquire about a refund the night of your arrival. As she is not involved with that department, she referred you to the management company’s phone number. She did try to find out if there was anything wrong or could assist you with anything. You yourself said 'Everything is fine, we just weren’t expecting to be this far out'. Poor travel planing is out of our control. We were happy to provide a clean, secure, gated community, that is stated in our listing, and mentioned by the other 34 reviews, but a refund, the day of, due to distance is not part of our policy. Once again, I am sorry that you weren’t happy or willing to give the west side the opportunity to stun you with the infamous Makaha Beach, beautiful sunsets and our safe community. I wish all the best to you and your future travel endeavors." Best, the Evolve Team

The greatest View ever
This was by far the cleanest apartment we have stayed in. Nothing in the apartment was old or worn which makes the stay so much more comfortable. We found everything we needed incl. beach chairs. The view is simply amazing and it is absolutely quiet.

Happy in Hawaii
It looks a little tougher on the outside than the pic but still a beautiful piece of property nestled in the mountains of the Westside. We were so happy when we entered the condo. Looks just like the online pictures, clean, spacious for the 5 of us, and a great view! It was quiet and the staff of the Towers were very friendly and helpful. We were so happy to have such a wonderful home away from home. For us, it was worth the trip out into the country and if we didn’t have business in town we would’ve been content to just stay local and hang out at the condo and surrounding areas. We’ll be sure to check this place out again, much Mahalo for the great experience!

Our stay at the towers
Our family had a wonderful 2 weeks in Makaha! The condo exceeded our expectations with all the extra amenities that were provided. The availability of beach equipment made it easy for us, as we did not have to pack not rent any gear for our 3 young children. Elevator access was perfect for my older mom and we loved sitting out on the balcony drinking our coffee every morning. The view was spectacular, both mountains and ocean. We were really very impressed with how secure the grounds were, with employees being so helpful and friendly. Peacocks squawking was tolerable, and kind of neat to see wildlife roaming around, including the wild boar we came across while coming home later in the evening. Thank you for making our stay such a memorable one!

The Derby, Birthday, Family and Friends
Details, details, details! Owner thought of everything, even picnic supplies. The condo is immaculate yet very comfortable (kudos to the cleaning crew) View off the chart! One of the BEST in The Towers. Communicating with owner, and on site assistant a breeze. Security gate/guards were delightful (we did have our paperwork) and office staff most helpful with parking pass. Found new restaurants close by (been going to Makaha since 1981) great food! Enjoyed beautiful Makaha beaches, (condo has beach chairs, beach toys, towels, cooler). We brought the Prosecco! Mahalo for sharing your beautiful Makaha home. Looking forward to staying here again. Fabulous holiday on the West end.

Vacation retreat
We booked this condo for 11 days in December 2018 and very much enjoyed our entire stay. We’ve stayed at the Makaha Valley Towers numerous times over the past and love the gorgeous setting, peaceful location, lovely saltwater pool, great security, and the beautiful peacocks roaming the area. The holiday decorations and lights at night throughout the complex were a delight to see during our stay in December. The condo was extremely clean, nicely decorated, comfortable, and quite cozy. All of the beds were comfortable as well. The view from the condo (15th floor) was amazing – gorgeous mountain views and an expansive view down the lush green valley to the Pacific Ocean. The condo was very well-appointed and well-stocked, with everything you’d need for cooking, relaxing, and trips to the beach. The owner of the condo was very responsive and thoughtful from the very beginning of the booking through checkout. We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect Getaway. 6/18 to 6/25 2018
Overall, the Condo was very nice.Everything we needed was provided. My family and I enjoyed our stay. The atmosphere was very relaxing. It was home away from home. I would strongly recommend this place to anyone that visit Oahu. Thank you to VRBO and to the owner of the Condo. Much Aloha until next time. I will be back.

What an amazing view...we loved the condo and the property. Mahalo kyong for having us.
Great place, great beaches nearby, saltwater pool and bbq area!! My girls and I enjoyed the peacocks and the tropical flora at the Towers. Not a far drive to go see things but sometimes there’s traffic so give yourself enough time. Aloha 🌺🌴🏖

Great Location
Very clean, quiet and the views from our balcony was breathtaking, It has everything we need to cook, beach gear and our room sleeps 4 people comfortably. You are a short drive away from restaurants, stores and Makaha beach. I will definitely come back to the towers next time I am on Oahu. If you want something laid back in Hawaii you must come to this side of the town for a visit. JD

This place exceeded our expectations.
This place is a gem. The pool and BBQ are really nice, and it is close to some fantastic local beaches. The unit is clean and extremely well organized- it made our stay very comfortable. We had everything we needed to cook our own meals and have fun at the beach. We were very thankful for the cooler, beach chairs, umbrealla, and beach towels. Unfortunately this time of year has howling wind in the valley, which made the second bedroom unusable for our young child because it was very loud and very cold in the second bedroom. Apparently it is not windy like this all year long. We would stay here again.

Terrific quiet location overlooking the amazing Makaha valley
If you're looking for an economical, quiet retreat from the hustle and bustle of Honolulu you'll love this location. While enjoying some Kona coffee high above the Makaha valley from the 15th floor, we loved watching the sun poke over the mountains from the lanai each morning. Sunsets were equally amazing. Easy to get to and from Honolulu, (be aware of big city traffic on the freeways at rush hour though) the complex was complete with a terrific pool and bbq area. The suite was complete with all the amenities and was clean and comfortable. We never once had to wait long for an elevator and the trip to the 15th floor from either lower or upper lobby was always quick. Parking is abundant, loading and unloading area close to the elevators on the upper lobby made hauling luggage in and out a breeze. Check in and out was simple and the office and security staff were always friendly and helpful. Our party of 4 adults thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would highly recommend this suite!
