Holiday rentals near Makiki Forest Recreation Area

We absolutely loved our stay in Sheryl and Greg’s apartment. The accommodation was great with everything needed for our 8 night stay. It was very comfortable. The location was perfect for accessing all locations, from the Main Street, beaches to public transport and even fuel station.We’d love to stay again on our next trip.

This was the perfect property and place for us to begin our Hawaiian stay. We moved away from Kailua six years ago and it was our first visit back. The view of Kailua beach and the ocean from the room's window is gorgeous. Waking to the sound of the waves crashing is wonderful. The unit was immaculate. The bed was very comfy, and the shower was also very good. Communication with the owner, Shari, is excellent. We highly recommend this beautiful little slice of heaven on earth. Aloha.

We celebrated a big 0 birthday. The last of the trio. Stayed at the Banyan all 3 times but this place is the standout! Everything you could ever want is supplied except for a dishwasher. And excellent communication with the host. This IS the place to stay so we will def be back when we hit the 0 birthday rounds again!

Stunning views, very clean and comfortable. Central to all needs

From booking to the end the owner was extremely responsive. Check in details were very clear and precise and he answered any questions quickly. He even left coffee and chocolates which was a very nice touch to make us feel welcome. The apartment itself is very well renovated and organised also very clean. We are extremely picky with cleanliness but it was spotless. It isnt huge but it is all very well set out. There was enough storage for our 9 night stay. The kitchen is well equipped, we didnt lack anything and love cooking. The lounge has a new sofa bed (we didnt use) but looked new and was different to the photo. The bed was super comfortable which had a portable extra fan in cupboard, safe, ironing board etc. The bathroom has a decent sized shower (no bath but we prefer showers). The balcony is large and excellent to sit out on to eat a meal/drinks. There were also some beach/pool toys etc. It overlooks the Hyatt but when sitting out there is also a good view of the lagoon, beach and the fireworks on a Friday night! Laundry facilities are just down the hall (not in the apartment) for a small fee (pay by card). Parking is valet, currently at $35us a day, very efficient and friendly staff (longest wait for car was 10 minutes at peak time). The whole place has an ice cream store, restaurant, concierge and shops (one with the staples if needed). Great clean well run, friendly staff. 15 minute walk to centre of Waikiki (stroll) and is centrally located to everything you need. Lots of dining options around and only a few minute walk to Ala Moana. We loved the location as we had a car and it was centrally located to explore the island and had the night life close by for evenings out. This is an amazing place to stay and would recommend it to anyone. You wont be disappointed.

This place had everything we needed. In an amazing location. Literally a 3 minute walk to the beach. Bed was super comfy and air con worked a great for thoes hot days. Will be back for sure
