About this house rental

Working from home? Why??? when you can work from Paradise.
Now accepting 30-day reservations You will find it's less crowded, a little unexpected, and truly delightful. The vibe here is RETRO and CHILL, so let the good times roll. Please message us for details as we do not use the VRBO calendar.

Perfect for 2, 3, or 4 guests. Walk out the gate directly onto Makaha Surfing Beach. Our Oceanside 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 next to the bungalow. Go snorkeling 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 Oceanside Bungalow shares the front yard, (which overlooks the ocean) along with the beach equipment found in the cabana with our Mountainside Bungalow. If you like to play golf, Makaha Valley Resort has 1 golf course with spectacular views.

Barbecue on the front lawn and eat under the 100+-year-old Hau tree, the perfect place to enjoy those beautiful Hawaiian sunsets. There is a grill outside your bungalow and you will find charcoal and lighter fluid in the cabana.

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. A lot 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 have two bungalows on our property, we trust that you will respect your fellow guests. The entire property is for everyone to enjoy.

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.

After doing a bunch of research on places to stay away from Honolulu/Waikiki and something with close proximity to the ocean/beach, we stumbled upon the Bungalows and we were very impressed with the reviews and pictures. We thoroughly reviewed the reviews and figured this was the perfect spot for us with nightly sunsets and a somewhat private beach. We were even more impressed after visiting with the location and calm vibe of the leeward side of the island. It is much more "local" if that makes sense. Not many tourists and the ones we did run into on the beach seem like tourists who are basically regulars. They know the secret that is the north west side of the island. But mostly, on this side of the island you're with native Oahu'ans and everyone is friendly. There is some question about the "feel" of Waianae and the local homelessness that I saw in the reviews. We never once felt unsafe. The property is gate controlled and the property is far enough north that the feelings expressed in other reviews aren't really accurate. I could also tell that there is a strong police presence in the city of Waianae so they are very active in their monitoring. Like I said, we never felt unsafe or worried about our safety or our belongings. The sunsets here are AMAZING. That is probably the one thing we were really excited to experience. Personal, full-view sunsets, literally every night. Very happy with the property, the owners, the location and the experience. Will stay again!

I want to tell you not to stay here, because I have a feeling this spot will soon blow up and getting access to it in the future may be difficult. The photos on VRBO do not do the property justice. The mountain rolls right down behind the house into the beach. The beach in back of the house is nearly deserted and there are all the amenities you need for a fun beach day in the shed. While swimming you’ll bump into several sea turtles and see whales from the back yard. It’s magical. Pro-tip: if you stay here check out Aloha Poke down the road. Best Poke we had on island!

There are 4 adults in this house, with plenty of room and privacy. The property is so clean, and functional with everything needed to prepare meals if desired. The private beach is amazing! We would definitely rent this property again. Donna, Adrian, Scott and Julia.

Marvelous beach property! If you want a private, out of the fray of other tourists, with beautiful grounds, all the beach supplies you need and stay on a beautiful beach that feels like your very own, this is the place! My family of four adults stayed here for a week and loved every moment. In fact the last day, we couldn't soak up enough before heading to the airport. The property itself is a rustic beach house, but well supplied with all you will need from a fully stocked kitchen, 2 bedrooms and a very comfortable futon for relaxing or sleeping, washer and dryer, grills and a cabana filled with all you need for your stay. The grounds have beautiful foliage that is well maintained. The Hau tree with tables and chairs on the beach side and the yard side were well used during our visit. We woke in the morning and either went straight to the beach to look for turtles, whales and surfers or sat and watched the waves with coffee under the tree. The grills, table, chairs lights and the tiki torches made for lovely dinners while we listened to the waves. Lisa and Ken were fantastic hosts and provided us with sight seeing and insight on best travel times when asked. I can't say enough good things about this property. We would recommend to family and friends as well as stay again ourselves.
