While we were in Hawaii we stayed in a great little rental house right on the water in Makaha, which is on the leeward side of Oahu. The house had amazing views with nothing more than rocks separating us from the Pacific ocean. We were lucky enough to get to see “honu”(the Hawaiian word for green sea turtle) and watch humpback whales from the back lanai daily. Next to the house is Aki Beach, which is a small, private “locals” beach where the turtles like to sunbathe. Such a peaceful and quiet setting which was a nice change of pace from busy Honolulu. Being able to fall asleep and wake up to the sound of waves is what island living is all about.
