SUPER family friendly home with minimalist design, cribs, high chairs, and more! 🌺 Your Hawaiian home is located in a 24/7 onsite security-guarded and gated community tucked away in beautiful Mākaha Valley.

We offer three spacious bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, along with a full kitchen and a two-car garage—a perfect vacation space for the whole family.

Inside your Hawaiian home is a cool, clean modern décor, with a split AC system in every room. In addition to the basic essentials, the kitchen comes with a coffee maker, air fryer, Instapot, large toaster, and a professional blender for all your smoothie needs. The main bedroom features a luxurious Purple 3 king mattress, while the other two bedrooms have memory foam beds to make you feel right at home.

The cottages at Mauna Olu neighborhood is an incredibly serene and calm environment. Traffic noise, loud music, or parties are almost non-existent leaving the quiet serenity of the birds and crickets chirping. You are surrounded by two gigantic Hawaiian cliffs with a magnificent ocean view to the west and luscious green valley to the east. The area is guarded by 24 / 7 security. There are 2-4 parking spots in the driveway. However, please do not park on the street to abide by HOA policy. You will enjoy your experience best by having a car to help you get around.
