You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Beach Front Family Vacation on Makaha Beach. A secluded, relaxing beach in Oahu.

What you will find. A 30-day rental that is less crowded, a little unexpected, and truly delightful. The vibe here is RETRO and CHILL. Friends and Family fun await you. Please message us for details as we do not use the VRBO calendar.

Located in Makaha Valley Resort District, perfect for 5 to 8 guests. Walk out the gate directly onto Makaha Surfing Beach. We have 2 Bungalows on our property. Each bungalow is... 700 square feet with 2 air-conditioned bedrooms, 1 bathroom, a living room, and a fully equipped kitchen. Boogie boards, snorkel gear, beach chairs, and umbrellas, are all available in the cabana. Snorkel with the sea turtles right off the beach. Do a little Whale Watching from the front yard….migrating season is late December through March, or just enjoy a good book while swinging in the hammock. Sunsets you ask.....absolutely!

Makaha Beach is truly the hidden jewel of Oahu. You are only 35 miles northwest of Honolulu airport away from all of the crowds. Makaha Beach is famous for surfing dating back to the '50s but there is also great snorkeling and just plain lying on the beach in the sun.

If you are looking for a great location with a beautiful secluded beach this place is for you. Our Bungalows come with a large front yard, which overlooks the ocean, along with the beach equipment found in the cabana to help you enjoy your stay. If you like to play golf, Makaha Valley Resort has 1 golf course with spectacular views.

Barbeque on the front lawn and eat under our 100+-year-old Hau tree. It's the perfect place to enjoy those beautiful Hawaiian sunsets and a great family meal. Beach chairs, snorkeling gear, and boogie boards are located in the cabana. A washer and dryer are located outside each bungalow and a separate parking space for each bungalow is inside our gated yard.

This is really "local" Hawaii. The Makaha Country Club for golf and they now have the restaurant open. Great deep-sea fishing out of the Waianae Harbor and the freshest Ahi Tuna on the island can be found at our local grocery store. Lots of farming nearby which means lots of fresh vegetables and fruits. The farmers market is open on Saturday mornings. There are no bars or restaurants in our immediate neighborhood which makes this the perfect spot for a zero-proof vacation. There are restaurants within 3 miles, Coquitos Latin Cuisine and Kahumana Organic Farm and Cafe. The Beach House by 406 is a nice restaurant and has a nice bar. In Ko'Olina, (20 minutes) Roys, Monkey Pod, Island Vintage Coffee, and more. In Kapolei, (30 minutes) Chilis, Cheesecake Factory, and many more restaurants.

You will have a relaxing and thoroughly enjoyable time here at The Bungalows. We look forward to meeting you and sharing this little piece of paradise with you.

We do not use the VRBO calendar. So please reach out to us to see if your dates are available. Sorry, no weddings or large parties are permitted.

Great property, amazing beach!

We had a great stay in this Bungalow. We visited beaches all around the island, but preferred the beach in our back yard. It's a huge, clean beach with very few people and amazing views. Great for sunbathing, swimming, snorkeling, surfing, turtles, seals, whales and especially sunsets.

Amazing double bungalow

The bungalows are right on the water. It was absolutely amazing catching sunsets every night and boogie boarding. We even saw a sea turtle on the beach one night. Great restaurant, the Beach House, just down the road and reasonable supermarket for food. The only downside is it is somewhat far north and the road north was closed; so, we ended up driving an hour to attractions most days.

Bungalow were fantastic

Right on beach. Large grassy beautiful yard. Amazing sunsets. Hammocks and swing were enjoyable. Sitting under the 100 year old Hau tree and listening to the waves crashing on the shore was very relaxing. A little out of the way to most attractions but manageable and that’s part of the appeal. Beach chairs, boogie boards, ice chests, beach umbrellas all provided in cabana. Bungalows were well maintained and well stocked with everything we needed. If you’re looking for peace and quiet away from the hustle and bustle of Honolulu this place is for you. Lisa and Ken are amazing hosts.

Truly memorable family holiday

Spectacular location right on the beach, away from the crowds of Honolulu. As a family we loved being able to walk out of the back yard straight on to the beach. Sitting outside in the evenings watching the beautiful sunsets was wonderful. As was seeing turtles and a seal whilst swimming. Lisa was quick to respond to messages, and Ken, who was present in our second week, was full of useful information and provided us with some delicious mangos and avocados.

Amazing spot for a relaxing family getaway

What a wonderful property! The perfect spot for our family getaway. The beach is steps away with crystal clear water and plenty of beach toys and supplies in the cabana. We spent most of our time at the beach or in the beautiful yard. The bungalows can get hot during the day - A/C in the bedrooms only. Lots of natural light - Bring an eye mask if you want to sleep past dawn. Private, safe, and away from the touristy areas of Oahu, we thoroughly enjoyed our week at the bungalows.

Great location!

I was very impressed with the property overall. Location is away from the crowded beaches and you can get all your basics close by. We spent most of the time in the back yard and on the beach. We saw turtles and whales just in front of the property so that was great. The backyard was great for family BBQ's. The accommodations had all the basics for cooking and cleaning that we needed. I would highly recommend this property to anybody that doesn't want to be in the hustle of Honolulu.

You will have all the comforts of home plus an amazing view of the ocean and the GORGEOUS sunsets! Magical! Wait until you hear the waves crashing on the shore! WOW WOW WOW!!!! Book now! You won't want to leave! We will be coming back soon! Mahalo!

Your own piece of paradise for a vacation

Staying at Lisa and Ken's bungalow was the most relaxing vacation we have ever had! We loved listening to the waves every night, taking walks on the beach in the morning and the evening and watching those braving the beautiful waves. We BBQ'ed our dinners and ate at the fence line to enjoy the ocean. The house was the perfect size for us and our 2 adult children, never turning on the TV once! We used the AC in the evenings, once the sun went down, enjoying our company and like I said before, listening to the ocean. Be prepared with mosquito spray and be sure that you are clean with your food as the insects will let you know if you aren't. We got to see itty bitty lizards, adult lizards, a preying mantice, beautifully fragrant flowers and again...did I mention the ocean?!? Lisa and Ken have the kitchen well supplied with what you may need as well as towels, puzzles, movies, books, outdoor chairs, tables and fun toys to play in the ocean. We found a Save and Shop (Foodland) that we liked buying all of our groceries at as well as having several fast food places close by. We were really sad to say good bye to the property and will definitely stay there again when we come to the island again. All I have is praise for this location! Thank you Lisa and Ken!

quaint comfortable home with beautiful views

Enjoyed our stay with a family of four. Easy access to beach. Had plenty of snorkel gear and boogie boards for the kids. Beach was clean and safe for swimming. Location not crowded. We slept comfortable on the beds provided. Had everything we needed for cooking in the kitchen. We would stay again.
