🤙The Makaha Shaka! 🤙3BR Villa Oahu 5 Min to Beach, Ocean View, Pool, Hot Tub
Why guests LOVE our home? Why guests find it such a great VALUE? - Free parking for 5 cars (save $40–$100/car nightly) - Private backyard & BBQ, full kitchen to cut dining costs, - Spacious single-story for large families, 3 bedroom, 9 beds, 2 bathroom, perfect for seniors and kids - Repeat guest favourite, peaceful spot near beaches & away from Waikiki crowds. - 24/7 Gated community with Oceanview pool, gym & mountain views, - Filtered water (no bottled runs), - Washer/dryer to travel light
🌴: What kind of space is this? Welcome to our family’s Magic Makaha Ohana — a single-story retreat in sunny West Oahu. This is home to our little family of three, where evenings often end with our daughter Lizzie stargazing from the lanai. Occasionally, wild peacocks wander into the yard. Lizzie always tries to pet them — no luck yet, but she wouldn't give up!
🌴: How is the home laid out? The layout is ideal for large families and groups:
🛏️ Bedroom 1: KING bed, en-suite bathroom, walk-in closet + optional twin fold-away bed
🛏️ Bedroom 2: Queen bed + optional twin fold-away bed, and a bathroom
🛏️ Bedroom 3: Bund full-over-full bunk bed + one pullout twin bed, + a 4th optional twin fold-away bed
🛏️ Living Room: two LazyBoy QUEEN sofa beds that can turn into QUEEN beds at night
🌴: Is the home spacious and comfortable for the price? Yes — it’s rare to find a legal short tern rental, single family home this size and this new (built in 2023), especially one that’s so well-equipped for families. With 1,582 square feet of step-free living, flexible sleeping arrangements, and peaceful surroundings, it offers a great balance of space, comfort, and value.
🌴: Is the home secure? Yes — the community is protected by 24-hour gated security. There are also outdoor security cameras (front door, sides, backyard, driveway), along with one camera in the garage facing the garage door — all outward-facing and there for safety and peace of mind.
🌴: Can friends or visitors stop by during the stay? Absolutely! The home is for quiet stays, so only registered guests are allowed overnight. If you're unsure whether your plans are a fit, just reach out — happy to clarify.
🌴: Is it baby- and kid-friendly? Definitely. As parents, we’ve stocked the home with thoughtful touches to make traveling with little ones easier: High chair, Pack-n-play, board games, etc
🌴: What amenities are included? - Fully stocked kitchen with modern appliances from 2023 - Washer & dryer - Commercial grade High-speed Wi-Fi - Smart TVs with Netflix, Amazon, YouTube, and more - Foosball table in the garage (My husband takes game night seriously) - Board games and poker chips for family fun
🌴: What about parking? There are enough room for 4 cars, two designated parking spots, plus room for two additional cars in the driveway.
🌴: What’s nearby? Makaha Beach — one of the island’s most scenic and uncrowded beaches — is just 5 minutes away. if you're lucky after the rain, you might catch a waterfall cascading down from the Makaha mountains — truly one of those once-in-a-lifetime sights.
🌴: How far is the home from Waikiki? It’s about a 1-hour drive — just enough distance to enjoy all that Waikiki has to offer, then retreat back to a peaceful home base. Many guests say it’s the perfect setup: explore the island by day, then come “home” for a quiet evening, a homemade meal, and a good night’s sleep — all without the hustle and bustle. A lot of past guests are regulars in Oahu, and they’ve told me they actually prefer staying here over Waikiki or the North Shore!
🌴: Is commercial filming allowed? Yes, commercial shoots are welcome. Message for pricing and details.

Perfect Hawaiian Getaway!This home is a true paradise—clean, spacious, and beautifully maintained. The open layout, natural light, and ocean breezes make it incredibly relaxing. Conveniently located near beaches, restaurants, and attractions, it’s the ideal spot for a dream Hawaiian vacation!
Literally from check in to check out, the best experience! Our host Emma actually was actually very communicative with us a few days prior to check-in! Super personable with us the whole time, we didn’t feel like just another tenant, but like a true guest to her home! Never had a single issue with the beautiful home that we stayed in. My husband was even able to access the gym while we were here.The location is a little away from Honolulu/Kapolei, so a rental is highly highly recommended. But for those looking for quiet calm, the short distance is actually very much appreciated. The neighborhood is quiet, and gated. And in good proximity to beaches. Maybe a five minute drive to the closest beach from driveway to parking. Not only would I highly recommend this home/host, but I will likely search specifically for this host any time we go to Hawaii!! She truly gives the spirit of aloha and made us feel at home and welcome. Mahalo Emma!!
I recently had the pleasure of staying at a lovely home booked through Vrbo, and I can't say enough good things about my experience!
From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by text with warmth and hospitality. The hostess was incredibly welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed to feel comfortable. She provided us with a detailed guide of the home and local attractions, which was a great touch! If any questions arise, I was able to send a message and she responded very quickly. Emma was truly amazing at making us feel very comfortable in her home.
The home itself was immaculate and beautifully decorated. It had all the amenities we could ask for, including a well-equipped kitchen, cozy living spaces, and comfortable bedrooms. The outdoor area was a highlight, with a lovely patio that was perfect for morning coffee and evening relaxation. There was games in the home for the kids to play as well as outdoor activities. We had a beach day and all the amenities we were able to use from their home, which was really nice
Location-wise, it was ideal—close to local attractions, dining, and shopping, yet tucked away enough to provide a peaceful retreat. We truly felt at home during our stay.
Overall, I highly recommend this Vrbo property for anyone looking for a fantastic getaway. Great home, great hostess, and an unforgettable experience! I can't wait to return!
