Makaha Valley Towers

When I stayed at the Makaha Valley Towers through Airbnb and had a pleasant experience. The property is gated and there is someone guarding the gate, we felt safe. You need a sticker or pass placed on your car to park here. There is plenty of parking.There are many peacocks that roam the property, they aren't aggressive/territorial and let you walk through without approaching you or attacking. Late in the night/early morning you will hear them, they make a sound very similar to a cat. The complex is quiet, and the neighbors are friendly. The complex has a pool and grilling area on site. There is a beach about a mile away, it isn't crowded, I even saw a sea turtle on the beach. If you like to golf there is also a golf course walking distance away. My boyfriend golfed there and said it beautiful and wasn't crowded so he enjoyed it and didn't feel rushed at all.

Loved the staff and security showed friendly and safety measurements during the pandemic. I visited mid june 2021. Property and building are well maintained very clean. Parking is assigned in certain areas, guest during stay pays a fee but well worth it. Views are stunning.

Stayed here through Air BnB. Really enjoyed the unit. Nicely equipped and very clean.

My husband and I stayed here (with Airbnb) in March for our honeymoon! We absolutely loved it. It is up in the green area of the mountains, but still has an ocean view. It is out of the way- which feels very safe with tight security. There is beautiful trees, flowers and peacocks on the property! Perfect place to stay for a couple or small family!

Air BnB home-away-from for the week. Really dig it so far! The place *totally*, from afar, looks like a long-since-abandoned Chernobyl high rise, or a set from Fallout... scary looking in the light and distance! !...but it's pretty great as you approach and actually get here.We're in an end building, 9th floor. .. SUPER views!! The ocean is the horizon, flanked by some stunning mountains. One entire wall of the condo is glass... it's pretty incredible. The condo itself is pretty small, but the view and the not-in-a-Honolulu-hotel-room completely compensate for that.Neat property amenities. ..Families of peacocoks roaming, and I "met" some mongooses/mongeese today. .. SO cute, but apparently total invasive jerks that eat the native bird eggs. ...and I really wanted to like those guys too! Whomp. Laundry rooms operate on this prepaid debit card type system, so no need to hunt down quarters. There *is* elevator service in the buildings. !!Tons of real-world-size parking spots.!! :) :)

We have been an owner here since the 70's and i have been coming here my whole life. This time the old cranky woman that hate their life are absolutely out of control! My two Boys have never bothered a lap swimmer here once! They are the most well behaved kids, and i watch them closet and always make sure they respect the lap swimmers. This one however was talking crap about my kids to her friend today, and made up a total lie and pointed at them and said she had been kicked in the face by them. NEVER HAPPENED and never will. It's a shame that these woman totally hate kids and find the need to harass them. She needs to realize it's not her pool, it's a community pool and we deserve respect just like her! What a rude nasty human! Don't let these woman with no kindness ruin your time here...it's not worth it. Fight back

Came here to stay for a week. Sign on elevators says swimming pool and bbq renovations happening thru 9/22. Ask of the pool will be available after and get an odd response. There has been absolutely no work occurring since we've been here. I don't understand why the pool is closed but it s annoying as hell.

This place is awesome!!!!Beautiful view. Excellent grounds. Very clean!!This is not a hotel or a resort. This is a condo that people live in. So yes there are rules and parking is a bit of a pain. That being said staff was VERY friendly and I appreciate that there was a ton of security. Beach is a walking distance or a 3 min car rIde. Makaha valley is off the beaten path few places to eat and no "shopping". If you want those things stay Waikiki. Want to relax and enjoy simple like this is the place.

Unit 708 owned by Stephen- absolute nightmare! Stay away! I stayed at the condo in April and May 2021. Before renting with the owner/Stephen I made it clear that I would be there working remotely on Zoom calls, and the owner said the condo would be perfect for that. When I reported the below noise issues the owner refused to make it right. VRBO tried to intervene and asked Stephen to let me out of the rental early, but he refused and kept my money. It's up to owners to make things right-VRBO leaves disputes to owners and renters. Beware of the owners you book with, especially this one. If you pay up front, you basically throw away your money with this place. Stephen tried to get me to sign an agreement with him outside of VRBO when I first contacted him to rent, I now understand that he did this so I wouldn't have any recourse once the construction (outlined below) started. Somehow Stephen got my review of the rental erased on VRBO's website. I hate that other people will waste their hard earned money with him and this place. -LOUD Peacocks: The property has a population of ~50 peacocks that live on site year around and are VERY NOISY day and night. They start at 4am! I couldn't sleep, even with earplugs in. I couldn't conduct business meetings with these animals in the background constantly. -CONSTRUCTION: There was jack hammering and drilling going on for almost my entire stay. The condo staff informed me that owners were made aware of it in advance. Stephen did not tell me that it would be happening and took zero responsibility for it. -LOCATION: Makaha is the WORST PART OF THE OF THE ISLAND. There is meth/crack addiction outside the property. Homeless people are using drugs or withdrawing from them-- very sad & scary. Many homeless encampments lining the streets around the property. The listing description is false. It's far from everything you might want to see and do. With traffic (everyday) it take 50 minutes to an hour to get to a decent grocery store. For dining or shopping, it's 1 hour. There is only one road in and out of Makaha--so much traffic! So not worth staying here.- SLOW WIFI: Zoom sessions were spotty and had to end early. -BUGS& DIRTY: Cockroaches and pests in the unit! The unit was dirty, hair and dirty everywhere. Stephen said he and his wife cleaned it and bugs were a part of the island. Unsure why I was charged a cleaning fee when he "cleaned" the unit himself. The towels in the unit are moldy.Balcony doors broken, couldn't get out to the very tiny patio. The washing machines don't work on the floor, and they ate my money several times. Of course, Stephen didn't care. I had to lug my clothes to a different floor to wash my clothes. The power went out several times. Stephen said that was normal.

I was a guest at this condo. Security tried to write us a ticket because our car touched a white line in the guest parking space. See photo. We were still within the line and there were several parking spaces left, in fact more parking spaces available than not available. They called us at 9pm to walk down and move our car. It's not a short walk. And it freaked us out because we didn't believe something could be this ridiculous, we didn't believe it was actually security calling us to come out. (We are two girls.) We found security driving around to ask if this was real? The gal who we stopped was different than the man who called us. But she was also rude and spoke down to us while we genuinely questioned what was wrong? We sincerely thought it was a mistake of some kind.
