Makena Makai - Villa 3 chambres face à la mer - à partir de 825 $. 00 / nuit

This is a special home. It reminds me of a family home on a lake I knew of as a child with that carefree indoor/outdoor kind of living. It is casual and grows on you the longer you stay. Outside is beautiful landscaping in a breathtaking setting where you could easily spend the entire day relaxing, snorkeling, and swimming. My family of 6 adults were here for 10 days and we did not leave the property (except for food) for the first 4 days. Wear your reef shoes to get to the water as there are rocks that take a bit of getting used to. We rented paddle boards and a 2 person kayak very nearby and paddled them easily back to the house. A day trip to Molokini boarded us right on the beach just a 5 minute walk up the street. Beautiful sunsets and moonsets every day. I must have taken 50+ photos in varying shades of light and dark of the small tree-accented rocky spit that extends into the water out back. You can’t take a bad photo here. Underwater are beautiful reef fish, corals and turtles. If you like this kind of setting and marine environment, you will appreciate this place. I hope to return some day.

My family of six adults spent a week at Makena Makai. There were lots of positives about our stay. The setting is gorgeous. We enjoyed a number of dinners on and gorgeous sunsets from the patio. There was plenty of room for six people and the house was well stocked with beach equipment and kitchen condiments. It was awesome to have an outdoor shower to use after snorkeling with the turtles in the water right by the house. We enjoyed mangoes from the front yard tree. A few things could be upgraded/fixed, but didn’t interfere with our enjoyment of our stay.

Wonderful location right on the water, and lots of room. Amazing access to the water both outside the back door - and a short walk down the street to the beach.

The grounds were well kept, the view is amazing, except for the hundreds of snorkelers brought in by boat, the table, railings and inside of the property were not clean at all. We spent about 6 hours cleaning, including the outside railings and eating area. I requested an umbrella for the outside table as the tree shed constantly making it impossible to eat or have coffee there. It took 3 days before one was "loaned" to us. Each day the manager said he was getting one to bring over and did not show nor call to say he wasn't coming. It was pretty obvious that very little cleaning had taken place, there were cobwebs everywhere, once we got them down, there were none for the 10 days we were there, Some items were in disrepair, there were patches on the walls, the electrical is scary. Lights blink on and off, one ceiling light has a short, so sometimes it would not come on at all. One air conditioning unit would not turn off unless it was unplugged. There was ice cream spilled on the coffee table when we got there, so that was yet another cleaning project. Walls around the kitchen sink had brown stuff splashed on it, there were other issues as well. If you were to arrive with the house clean, the green railings washed off, etc. this would be a great place to take your family. No one met us and I was frantic to get the information on getting into the house before we left Oregon, there was no phone number to call. Good luck with that.

Makena Makai is a wonderful place. It is difficult to adequately describe the beauty of the setting. Sunsets are unforgettable. Snorkeling among the sea turtles and fish is exciting. The privacy is exceptional. The property owner is very helpful and responsive. I highly recommend Makena Makai.
