Beautiful property, exactly as pictured. Loved watching the sunset every night from the lanai, and swimming in the pool every day. One resident sounded a conch shell most evenings at sunset, very cool. We only encountered a few other people staying there, not crowded at all - which is why we chose to stay here vs. Waikiki. Char was easy to communicate with and provided a nice treats basket. Condo had beach chairs, umbrella, boogie boards and snorkel gear. Only taking off one star because of the road noise - but I'd be happy to stay here again if I had the chance. Aloha.

The beach is so gorgeous and the uncrowded pool is lovely. We went in every day. The place has everything you need to cook your own meals. There is some street noise but not too bad. I use earplugs at night anyway. We hiked the pink pillbox trail and diamond head for incredible views.
Moonlight as seen from the balcony. It is not a touristy area and that’s why we liked it.

We had the best 2 weeks staying in condo, Serendipity on the Moana, located in the friendly town of Waianae. We enjoyed meals on the lanai, beautiful sunsets, listening to the waves, and a view of the ocean. The Maili Cove community is well maintained. The pool is cleaned every morning. It was never crowded. We cooked meals on the outside grills. We only used the A/C a few nights. Leave the doors open and enjoy the beach breezes. The condo has everything you would need to make your stay memorable. We had amenities that we have not found in other rentals. Not sure we will get an opportunity to return. If we did, we would stay here again. Thanks to Char for being a great host.

Great condo and great host! The condo is really clean, fully stocked, beautifully decorated, has very comfortable bed and is right on the beach. The balcony was the most perfect and peaceful spot, looking out over the ocean and listening to the sound of the waves.The salt water pool was fantastic and the sunsets were amazing!

Wish we could have given it 5 stars.

The apartment was clean and very nicely decorated. Everything we needed in the kitchen and laundry in the apartment. I would have given 5 full stars but the neighborhood was less than desirable. So many homeless, boarded up windows and SIRENS! We felt safe as there is a gated area around the pool and the apartment had multiple locks - just disappointed with the ability to walk around the area or down the beach (homeless on the beach). Neighbors were lovely.

Waianae

The condo owner of this property is great. The condo itself is very clean and well stocked. But the location is surrounded by tent encampments and is right next to a very busy highway. Waianae is a community that is really only locals and we got the impression that tourists aren’t really welcome. If you don’t leave the condo and only want to sit by a pool and have an ocean view, then this location would be fine.

Beautiful view and very Nice condo

Very clean, we stayed 12 days! There is a wonderful welcoming basket so when you first arrive you have what you need and do not have to run to the store immediately. We cooked every night. The kitchen has everything! Which is rare. I highly recommend this condo and did I say the view and pool are awesome!!

Return to Maili

I discovered this special place in 2017. I returned again in 2019. Shortly after that the owner passed. Though I kept looking for it to return as a rental it was not until late last year I spotted it again listed on VRBO. The new owner has changed/improved on some of the furnishings. The washer/dryer is new and because it did such a great job we now are looking for a set just like this unit has. Note: though the west side beaches have some homeless encampments these condo units have security guard service. I never was concerned. The new "landlord" is top shelf. You can't beat the view location and comfort.
