I very much enjoyed using this as a "home base" during my week on Oahu.
If it seems a little "off to the side," Oahu's big, but not that big. The *furthest* point form the unit, the Northeast of the island, was only two hours away. And the driving views every where... gorgeous.
The unit itself was clean, Ms. Bruneau was easy to connect with, and the place was secure. Wondered whether my car would get broken into at some places I visited on the island, but not in the Makaha Valley complex. The security staff are front and present at the entry/exit gate. I got a "hello" and "goodbye" every time I traveled past them.
There's no *dedicated* parking spot, so every time I left I had to look for a space when I returned, but I didn't once have to slog from "too far" away. Oh, and they asked for a cash deposit for the parking pass. It's plastic and they want it back. I got my C-note back when I turned it in.
The unit's all glass on the outside wall, with blackout curtains if the sun's too bright. Chairs on the balcony are comfortable.
TV's got cable, and the unit has working wifi.
The kitchenette's fully stocked; no need to buy dishes, glasses, or flatware.
Complex has gas grills for anyone to use, so if you're into buying fresh food and grilling it yourself, it's easily doable.
Pool's nice too. Surf warnings were in effect most of my stay, and the pool made swimming possible. It's well maintained.
If anything, the owners *undersell* this place, in my opinion.
