We had a pleasant stay. The place is smaller but it was perfect for a couple. I love that it’s in a gated community and the outside views are spectacular.
A great studio, perfect for our weekend stay with two people. Quiet neighborhood, easy drive to beach, shops and market. Host was communicative and responded quickly when contacted.Only drawback, and not the fault of the property or host, someone nearby was smoking and the smell would enter the studio.
Everything about this property was beautiful! My family enjoyed staying there! Very spacious for their needs. We definitely recommend Marbella Lane. Mahalo!!
Our checking was simple and directions for the cottage were straightforward. The pictures online didn’t do justice as once we arrived it was a beautiful location up in the Maratha Valley and surrounded by mountains and several near by beaches. It was an awesome place with plenty of room for us and amenities provided were great. The only problem was the motion security lights didn’t work very well and hope the problem gets fixed as it was very dark at night . Overall our stay was great !
I was please with the location of the property. It was very private and secure with check point at entrance of property. Feel safe. The property itself was very clean and had all the amenities for cooking meals. The only thing I wish was that the AC was less noisy especially during sleep time. Overall it was a good experience.
We enjoyed a week in Paradise at this gated community. We felt safe and got to know the security guards as we left for adventures and came back at night. The morning bird sounds were amazing! The stars at night were awesome! The beaches didn't disappoint. We appreciated the extra beach towels and chairs provided by our hosts. The apartment was comfortable for the two of us to rest and enjoy nature. Thank you for providing this space for us to enjoy for a week. We also appreciated the quick replies to any concerns or questions we had about the property during our stay.
The unit was lovely! It had everything we needed for our 10 day vacation. If you’re looking for a place to stay that’s in a quieter, less touristy spot this is it. It’s located in a gated community so the location felt very safe and well maintained. There are several grocery stores and drugstores less than 10 minutes away. Keep in mind you’ll have to drive a lot to most recreational places as there’s not too much to do in Mākaha Valley. If you don’t mind driving and you want to stay somewhere other than a high rise condo then you’ll love it here!The unit fit my husband and I comfortably. Having a kitchen and laundry in unit was a big plus! A/C unit worked great.
The property is well kept and clean! Check in instructions came late so we had to park for about 20 minutes until we heard back from the host. The host is responsive and kind. The community feels safe. The only feedback I have is there is not a fan in the bathroom, and the people upstairs were a nightmare. Almost every night at midnight we would be woken up to stomping upstairs. I highly recommend earplugs if you chose to book this place. The beds and pillows are not comfortable. The gated community feels safe but outside the gated community there are a lot of homeless camps along the beach. Its about a 1hr dive to honolulu and a 1 hr drive to north shore. On a good day its about 45 minutes to honolulu. So keep that in mind when deciding to book this place. Other than that the room didnt feel too small for the two of us. I appreciated the kitchen and fridge and the host is very responsive!
Located in a gated neighborhood, this is a beautiful property. A short 20 minute or so drive to Waikiki. It's not in the middle of the action, but if youre looking for a quiet place to kick back and relax, this is it.
If you stay in the east it is a quiet perfekt place. The way to Honolulu and further is very long so it not be the right spot for you. The equipment leaves no wishes open.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication
Disliked: Listing accuracy
Upstairs neighbor
First off the place is definitely cramped. The most room you had in a single area was in the bathroom. The listing said a 1 bedroom studio which just didn’t make sense. It also mentioned that we would have the whole house which was a complete lie. The other side of the house/ upstairs were obnoxiously loud. The foot steps in that place were horrid. I’m not sure if it was just very humid but the refrigerator has pools of water in it under our stuff.
Worse experience with the property managers EVER, they refused to give us the check in code to access the property despite the booking being locked in, everything being paid for and me having provided every piece of information and documentation that they requested over the many emails they sent me after making the booking... they had us sitting in the driveway for hours arguing with them over emails as they wouldn't answer the phone either... overall, appalling service.
This place was amazing!Everything is clean, organized, and lovely. We've been enjoying our relaxing rest time in this beautiful and peaceful place We really enjoy and love it!
