Welcome to this exquisite Japanese-inspired retreat, a sanctuary of elegance and tranquility. This luxurious guest house seamlessly merges architectural sophistication with serene, peaceful vibes. Attached to the main residence yet offering complete privacy through its own entrance, this gem is a true testament to masterful design and craftsmanship. From the inlaid onyx at the entrance to the hand-planed ohia wood flooring sourced from the Big Island, every detail reflects exceptional artistry. The intricately crafted glass cherry blossom handrail adds a touch of delicate beauty to the space.
Upon stepping through the custom-designed French doors, you're welcomed by an open, airy floor plan featuring wood staircase flooring that gracefully leads you upstairs. The expansive living area invites you to unwind in comfort, complete with plush leather seating perfect for several guests. Additional cozy seating is tucked away behind, offering intimate spaces for conversation or relaxation. A 65-inch flat-screen TV, recessed lighting, and top-tier amenities elevate the experience. The gourmet kitchen, a chef’s dream, is equipped with stainless steel appliances, a side-by-side refrigerator with water dispenser, a gas range/oven, granite countertops, and a breakfast bar. Every convenience is considered, from a coffee maker to a rice maker, toaster, waffle maker, cookware, and more.
The master bedroom suite is a peaceful retreat in itself, featuring a king-size bed and a private bathroom adorned with Corian surrounds and a luxurious shower over the tub. The second bedroom, equally elegant, offers a queen-size bed, a TV, and a walk-in closet. For additional guests, the U-shaped couch in the living room doubles as a comfortable sleeping area for two. A second bathroom, also with a shower over the tub, is conveniently located in the hallway. Both bedrooms offer breathtaking views of the pool, while the living room reveals a partial view of the ocean.
Designed with modern comfort in mind, this guest house offers air conditioning, high-speed Wi-Fi, cable TV, and a washer and dryer. Guests are also invited to enjoy a shared pool with the main house—perfect for basking in the tropical sun.
Nestled in the serene Makaha area of West Oahu, this retreat is just a short stroll to Turtle Beach (Aki’s Beach, renowned for its turtle sightings) and the peaceful Papaoneone Beach, a hidden gem with crystal-clear waters. With a mere 5-10 minute drive to other stunning beaches, Makaha Golf Course, Kaena Point State Park, and Yokohama Bay, adventure awaits just outside your doorstep. For those seeking additional amenities, the Ko Olina Resort, shopping malls, Costco, and Target in Kapolei are a quick 20-minute drive away, while the Waikele Outlet Mall is 30 minutes, and both the North Shore and Waikiki are easily accessible within an hour, depending on traffic.

The house was beautiful and very clean. Easy check in and great amenities. The beach was a little bit of a walk but a great beach to see turtles and cool off.
Beware of lots of dogs in the neighborhood.
There is also no access to turn on pool waterfalls or hot tub and hours of operation were set by owner. The water was very cool to swim in as well.
Overall we were very satisfied as they had a washer/dryer and soaps provided. Would definitely recommend.

Loved the place that we stayed and it was very clean and comfortable. Beautiful property. It was further away from a lot of the activities we did so that would be a downside, but it was very secluded in private and we really liked that.

This wonderful property is perfect for those looking for a chance to get away from the hoardes and manufactured feel of the Ko Olina resorts. (In my opinion, you don’t even feel like you are even in Hawaii there!) But it was still close enough for us to easily and quickly get to all of the wedding related events there that brought us to Oahu.
The Makaha corner of Oahu is mostly populated with local residents. We enjoyed the authntic vibe!
We spent a few days relaxing and exploring the area’s beaches, and especially LOVED the hike to Ka’Ena point, which we did 2 times! But we didn’t mind the hour or so drive to it took to get to Hanauma Bay, the North Shore, and Kailua Beach. (We found that the highways of Oahu make getting around so much easier than on Maui.)
The beautiful home and property itself is very accurately described by the home owner and the other reviews. We had no issues with maintaining a comfortable temperature in the unit. Crowing roosters are a part of the Hawaiian experience and did not bother us. The barking dogs were a minor nuisance. But we didn’t really hear them much from inside the unit.
There was salt, pepper, oil & some spices. You will need to bring coffee or tea and sugar.
We had a great stay and would eagerly return!

We enjoyed our stay here very much! Yes, the guest "house" is attached to the owners main home, however if the owners were there, we did not see or hear them at all in the 7 days we were there. All windows near the pool had partitions and closed blinds.
The house was clean and we loved that it included beach towels, toys, chair, life jackets, etc. as did the pool. Everything we needed was available to us aside from food. The roosters did go off in the morning but we were always awake before they did so it never bothered us. There are some neighborhood dogs that barked like crazy but nothing the home owners can do about that and again, it was always after we woke. The beds/pillows were very comfortable.
Aki/Turtle Beach was a nice little neighborhood beach but we did not see any turtles out unfortunately.
The only downside for us was that the location was quite out of the way of basically everything we wanted to do on the island, which was again not the owners fault at all but I feel like it's something to mention.
All in all, it was a nice place and suited our needs!

We cannot rave enough about this beautiful rental property!! I usually do not rent places where the landlords are right there but Cynthia and her family could not have been more accommodating. Although this rental is attached to their house we virtually never saw them. They gave us all of the privacy we needed and were so quiet yet whenever we had a question they answered right away. The rental is beautiful and fully equipped with everything you could ever need. Everything is brand new and spacious. The west shore is not a popular tourist spot and a little rougher than some of the other shores but we felt completely safe at this rental and thoroughly enjoyed exploring and visiting the many gorgeous beaches close by. We could not have been happier with this rental. We would highly recommend Cynthia and her beautiful rental to anyone who wants a wonderful vacation on Oahu!! Thank you so much Cynthia for your wonderful hospitality.

This is a beautiful house however you are literally connected to the owners house and share the backyard and pool with them. They watch you the entire time you’re in the backyard and it’s strange. I’ve stayed in many VRBO’s and never shared a house or backyard with the owners. You’re not allowed to bring ANY guests to the house so if you have family you can’t bring them to the place you’re staying. Also there are cameras watching you at all times outside which is uncomfortable. There’s no privacy and when we travel and pay for a place to stay it’s not intended that we’ll be babysat by owners. Had o known this we wouldn’t have stayed at this house. The owners windows are open all the time so you literally have no privacy! The pictures are exactly what it looks like inside but they fail to show the outside and explain what part is their house and what’s yours. The pool picture doesn’t show the house either so you can see the windows that look straight to the backyard of the owners house. Also it’s a bit hot in the house and you can’t control the A/C it’s locked.
If you don’t mind sharing common areas and being watched then this house is perfect! The owner should be very specific on the description and tell you the details of them living on property in a connecting house and sharing a backyard with them!

There were pros and cons. First unit was very clean and contact for property was easily available by text message. Pool area a little disappointing water falls only ran for two hours a day from 7:45 am to 9:45 am. Not enough glassware nice assortment of appliances. Major con was surrounding neighborhood and the chicken coop behind the house with roosters which started crowing at 3:30 am, luckily second night we found the noise maker, beach near place was very small with a lot of litter on it and more than a few steps from house . At least an hour drive to anywhere like Pearl Harbor,Waikiki and airport.

Great value for a beautiful 2br guest-house-style unit, tucked away on a quiet street, hardwood floors throughout and 5-minute walk to a beach spot where turtles sunbathe!
Up-to-date kitchen with high quality countertops and appliances. Washer and dryer in the unit plus flat screen TV in each room. Pull the car right up to the front door.
Location is 45 min from HNL airport, so distant suburbs in a more rural setting. Local flavor with roosters, 2-lane roads and a small town atmosphere.
Beautiful, uncrowded west-facing beaches and Pacific sunsets are a couple of miles north; we enjoyed not being packed in urban Honolulu with overpriced accommodations. We were often the only ones for morning walks on the beach - we didn’t think this possible on Oahu. Although note the trade-off is a bit of a drive for fine dining, shopping or Waikiki city lights.

Our family had a great time at this property. Owner was very nice, responsive and easy to work with. Pool was great, house was clean and has all the amenities a family would need. As other people mentioned, yes there are chickens next door but you can plan on hearing those anywhere outside of downtown, including fancy resorts. The West side was a little bit of a drive every day, but totally worth it for the privacy and awesome beaches nearby.

This is the best place to stay! We loved the location! The home is just like in the pictures and even nicer in person. The pool was beautiful and very refreshing after a day in the sun. The hostess (Cynthia) was always willing to answer any questions we had and was very detailed! We definitely plan to come back next year ! The beaches which are many are very close and not as crowded as the ones in Waikiki or the North shore and in my opinion more beautiful. Two large bedroom and two full bathrooms and a fully equipped kitchen! Appears to he like an in-law suite but very well appointed with hard wood floors and upscale decor throughout the home . In the charming neighborhood it was probably the nicest home. Thanks again for letting us rent your beautiful home!
Loved it All

PS —Feral chickens are a real in Hawaii (google it no joke)—-The neighbors Chicken which does start around 4 was faint and the house was well insulted. Simply put it was a minor allowance and definitely tolerable!
