Find beach rentals near Makiki Forest Recreation Area

We loved every minute of our stay at this property. Josh communicated everything we need to know throughout. The property is close enough to the coast to enjoy it, but far enough to have a sense of peace and quiet. We can’t wait to return again one day.

We had a wonderful time staying here. The location was perfect and the free parking and 2 separate bedrooms made things a lot easier!

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.

The apartment was just as pictured. Modern, clean and in a great position. Well supplied with everything needed to stay for a week or longer, although it would have been great to have some beach chairs. Would definitely stay there again.

Everything that’s been described on the listing is here and more! Everything that the family needs , Courtney has taken care of. We loved being on the property and it’s close to everything. Definitely will be coming back and recommend this to family and friends.

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.
