Makaha on the Beach-Back in Time =Direct Oceanfront & Cove

Only 1 opening in 2025 & 2026 September available 30 night minimum
2027 has 1 July 13th- August 23rd.
Located on a Golden Sandy Beach Cove, we are direct Ocean & Cove front. A rare find, one of the few where sea turtles rest daily. You can see the beach & turtles from the kitchen windows, Relax in the shade of palms or swim in the cove with the turtles. A great place to enjoy the Hawaiian sunsets, in fact the point we are on is known as Sunset Point. The comfy/clean 3 bedroom 1-1/2 bath cottage is perfect for 1-3 couples or small families to enjoy the sights and sounds of the Ocean & visit the island Of Oahu. The home living areas have been remodeled in April of 2018 and has now been painted and has new windows, Air Conditioners in main living areas as well as new ceiling fans in each bedroom.
**30 night minimum stay** contact owner for questions.

Still close enough to Waikiki for a day trip, but far enough away to see the 'real Hawaii'. Amenities on site are kayaks, Stand up paddleboards and Boogie boards. The home is our personal weekend getaway so we keep it well stocked with all the conveniences of home.
We have fish ponds and tiki's to enjoy but of course the ocean & sunsets are the main focal point for all who visit. Tiki torches are available to create the ambiance of old Hawaii and you are far from street noise so the ocean will rock you to sleep and the birds will wake you in the morning. Many have called it paradise on earth and repeat visitors are very important to us. Many return year after year and book multiple years in advance.

Spectacular Sunsets!

Place is exactly as described, right on the beach and saw turtles everyday! A little ways away from tourist attractions so you do have to drive, but absolutely worth it! Would stay here again for sure. Tom always checked in on us to make sure we had everything we needed and the place had plenty of ocean toys to use right there 🙂!

Best View in Makaha !!!

This house is located on a beautiful cove with amazing sunsets an abundance of sea life. We were able to see pacific green turtles and schools of fish almost everyday and the snorkeling in the cove was fantastic too! The house is cozy with all amenities you’ll need for an extended stay. Tom stocks the house with plenty of towels, toilet paper and cleaning supplies which is nice so his guests don’t have to worry about buying them while there. There is also a ton of water toys, ranging from kayaks, boogie boards, snorkels and fins to surfboards. The house is situated in a quiet neighborhood with shopping and restaurants not too far away. Tom checked in with us often to make sure we didn’t need anything and would bring us papayas and avocados from his mountain property. They were so delicious. Overall it was a great experience and we have rebooked another stay at this lovely location.

Love the quiet side of the island. The house has everything you need for comfort and fun. Saw a turtle and people watching in the cove on the weekend was fun. Don't miss end of the road drive and beaches!

My perfect Hawaii

This place has everything I was hoping for when I planned my vacation to Hawaii. A house that is comfortable, has a feel of individual character that you can immediately settle into as if you were home. And this is not the best feature. The location right on a small neighborhood beach is the best and the views of the ocean and sunsets from the front lanai are the best I have ever experienced.

Family vacation

The house and property are absolutely amazing. Perfect location. The house has anything you could ask for. Very comfortable living conditions. Tom is a great guy who is always there if you needed him. We loved Bill the duck who would come sit out front at night while we were on the lanai. We saw turtles on the beach every day and a seal one day. We also went through a storm while we were there and had no problems. Amazing views! Will definitely return.

Home away from home

Loved our stay. Tom & Kathy make you feel relaxed and at home from the moment you arrive. Away from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki yet close enough to enjoy all the sights Hawaii has to offer. Enjoyed watching sea turtles on the beach just feet from the house, watching whales pass by out front, and beautiful sunsets from the front yard - who could ask for anything more? How about a Koi pond and a resident duck named Bill. Mahalo Tom & Kathy for a wonderful vacation!

We loved everything about Tom's property. He has an awesome set up! We miss his place. Fully stocked home close to the best little beaches with turtles and waves!!! All the water toys you need from boogie boards to surf boards and paddle boards. Even a cute little rare duck who my husband and kids loved to feed every morning. Mahalo Tom for providing a great home away from home for us and being a great host.

Awesome View and Sunsets

The views from the porch and the backyard was were very beautiful and having access to the beach was a big plus. The duck named Bill who resides by the Choi pond was an interesting character. My family did enjoy the stay overall, we just wish that it would have been a little bit cleaner. The house was nicely redone inside and it worked for us having the 3 bedrooms and sofa bed. The kitchen has everything you need and the outside shower was really nice to use after you hang out at the beach.

Beautiful location and friendly owner.

Tom met us at the property to show us a few things. Home was bigger than I expected with everything we needed. Lots of water toys, great backyard for morning coffee and of course, the resident duck, Bill. Our 22 year old daughter already misses him. We saw many turtles and one seal at our stay on the beach. It was very close to many things, thank you so much.

Perfect ... as good as if not better than advertised .

My family has stayed at Makaha back in time for 4 yrs in a row. We already booked a month in 2019 too. We love everything about this place. The town, the cove , the neighbors as well as the house we call our second home. Tom is a great Landlord, and the house is perfect for families. I hate to shine a bright light on this Gem (selfish I know) but it really is heaven on earth...

Amazing dramatic coastline views

Overall the best location on the islands with views that change every minute. While the feeling your in a far away place called "paradise" is present from morning coffee to sunset its a feeling not found elsewhere on Earth. We did not even turn on the air conditioners as the trade winds kept the home fresh & cool. The kids did not want to leave because who is going to feed the Duck & fish at the Koi pond. Best in class award for this one.

Back in Time with Incredible Views

Couldn't ask for a better relaxing place and a great host. Fruit Plate on arrival of harvest grown by the host. Free views of Hawaiian Green Turtles every day relaxing on the beach (even an unintended swimming with one). Home is roomy, clean and truly a reflection on how Hawaii was before the glitter of Waikiki. What a pleasant get away for us...Plenty of time to enjoy the scenery, and even watch only the TV we wanted, if we wanted. Bill, the female Mallard was a great friend and guest who often occupied the beautiful tropical fish pond out back. Great neighbors too. Nuff said.. be back someday...Mahalo!

Great & Memorable Stay

Tom was very good to work with us on our arrival and departing times. He met us at the house and was extremely nice and personable!! The house was great and worked well for our family of 7. It was well stocked with everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The neighbors on the property were very nice and pleasant as well. My kids loved the pet "Bill" that was there as well they are wanting one now!! We were at the house when Hawaii had the missile scare and Tom & Kathy were great in telling us what to do!! They were a GREAT help!! The only downfall I could find with this property was we were not able to spend as much time just relaxing that was wanted and we could only stay there for 7 days! I would recommend this house to ANYONE!! Great Price, Great Location!! Would definitely stay there again on another trip!!

A jewel, you won't want to leave!

Tom, the owner was a wonderful host, from the time we made our booking to suggesting a rental car option. When we arrived there was a dish of fruit from the trees on his property. We were made to feel very welcome, and at home during our stay. We had a small issue with a toilet, and Tom was there right away with the part to fix the problem. A brand new fridge and microwave, comfortable beds, lots of comfy chairs and loungers on the lanai and in the yard. We will be back to this property, and a longer stay next time. We've only been home a few hours and already miss the cozy house, sound of the waves and birds, and the daily visits from the turtles at the beach, (which is 16 steps from the kitchen door). I have to say I feel a little reluctant to give a glowing review, only because I feel like keeping this place a secret. Thank you Tom, for a wonderful vacation experience.
