We wouldn't recommend it to rent or buy, as the management doesn't seem to be concerned with the thefts, gang bashings or noise problems. Perhaps a little paint once in 20 years by the elevator and cleaning the entry way would be good. Especially with 18 units x 9 stories at $300+ per month maintenance fees. That's why we wouldn't recommend it, to rent or buy.

We loved the beach and the local feel of the neighborhood. This is not a touristy area so if you want to do anything other than hang out on the beach you will need a car. The closest grocery stores are within 3 miles. Public transport is on the main road outside.

We really didn't like that the owners lied about the unit. It was not a one ...

The cabanas is not a hotel. It is a private residence building with owners renting units. THERE IS NO SWIMMING POOL.

DO NOT CALL THE CABANAS!!!!!!! THE MANAGER CANNOT RENT UNITS

The Cabanas are so perfect for the beach and the setting sunsets every evening. This was the most relaxing time in my life and our condo was like a baby ceasers palace. We will be back and most likely move there. It is the most un-congested beach on oahu we loved it.

We loved it at Makaha Beach Cabanas. Our 9th floor condo was awesome and a truly treasured find. The people were wonderful and the condo was awesome! Thanks for the wonderful stay in 917.

Since I live at the Makaha Beach Cabanas, I have to say that this is one of the nicest beaches by far on the island. If you are not into "local style" than stay in Waikiki. The leeward side of the Island is about local style and respect. Please do not come on this side of the Island not expeceting the true local lifestyle. Yes, there ...

This was my first trip to Hawaii, but my spouse was born and raised there. I researched and checked on all the condo rentals on the leeward side of the island, so we would be close to my in-laws. I didn't want to stay anywhere near a tourist type area. We decided on Makaha Shores due to the price, availability, and we wanted to stay ON the ...

We were VERY pleased with our unit at Makaha Shores, but then again we did have a unit with lanai (patio) overlooking the ocean. It was a studio, but VERY awesome for the price we paid. There were some TINY tiny little ants in the kitchen but not a major inconvenience or anything. Small unit but perfect for the budget minded. Our stay in Hawaii was ...
