Perfect for me
Danny was a great host. I was looking to surf around the island as an intermediate. He gave me good advice. The suite was exactly what I was looking for. Chill vibe, comfy bed, easy surfboard storage. West side was right up my alley. Met a lot of friendly people here.

Functional, pleasant stay
Perfect for a functional and comfortable base camp, but don’t expect spotlessness or luxury. Highlights: Danny was a fantastic host, excellent at communication and recommendations. Provided a bunch of free gear for us to use, like snorkeling gear, beach umbrella, beach towel, and beach chairs. Outdoor shower is refreshing, but beware of bugs at night. Room had everything we needed, including hot plate which we used to make breakfast each morning. Comfortable and clean bed. Private patio with great view of large lush backyard and stargazing. Private entrance. AC and fan work great in tandem to keep the room cool. Reef the dog is a highlight. Quiet, local neighborhood. 5-minute walk from stunning beach. Danny hooked us up with well-priced and fun surf lessons. What could have been better: the room was definitely well-worn (instances of water stains, rust, chipped paint, chipped wood, worn caulking, etc.). Blackout curtains would have been nice to keep out the sun, as well as a stronger curtain rod. Some of the provided kitchen amenities had a layer of dust on them, and the instant coffee was well-expired. Keep in mind this is natural Hawaii; you will likely see bugs in the room.

Really enjoyed our stay at Surfers Dream Studio
We found Danny's place to be a great home base for our time in Oahu. Everything was just as stated in the listing. The room was neat and tidy. The A/C worked well the bed was super comfy. The coffee/cooking area and bathroom were well supplied. The shower was great and had plentiful hot water. We also really enjoyed the small deck just for us! The location was great, easy drive to all the things you want to do on Oahu. Danny was a generous, helpful, and very friendly host. He answered messages promptly and had great suggestions and advice for things to do and how to get there. Definitely recommend the Surfers Dream Studio.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Needs a thorough clean, pests present
Most important: From the beginning my partner was killing roaches and I feel terrible because I was dismissive, saying it's like FL, there are roaches that come and go. I didn't look until later and they were German roaches. German roaches are the only kind I would not want to bring home, they are infestation pests unlike other roaches. The last two nights we also saw a mouse. We kept our food closed and on the counter. The mouse seems to be living in the dresser structure. Danny was notified and provided a mouse trap. Danny and his girlfriend were very nice but were nonchalant about the things we noticed, roaches, mouse, things not drying in the bathroom. Communication: Danny texted me the day of check in. He is very communicative and friendly. Location: Quiet, beautiful rocky shore with tide pools behind the neighborhood, walking distance to sandy beach. We liked being away from the major tourist areas. There are many homeless camps nearby. Plan accordingly when exploring the island. Amenities: This room potentially has a ton of amenities! But you will probably need to ask about them. We requested shampoo/conditioner. Washer/dryer is located in Danny's home. Entrance to the room is inside his garage. The room: This room needs updated photos. My partner is very tidy and noted the grout color, bathroom smelled musty, lizard poop on the blinds. He sanitized everything prior to us using it. Danny/his gf were made aware of all of the above during our stay.

LOVE!!
Perfect for our stay. Super comfortable and clean. West Oahu is an interesting area, but Danny‘s home is in a beautiful neighborhood. We absolutely loved that it was not commercial or crowded. Very peaceful. Danny was a spectacular host. Answered all of our questions, provided fantastic recommendations, plus, interesting and fun to talk with and hang out with. It felt like we were staying with old friends. Danny owns a surf school and invited us to take lessons one day. That was not on our agenda, but ended up being a huge highlight of our trip. 10 out of 10 recommend. We would definitely stay here again. Mahalo For your kindness and graciousness.

A great location far from the tourist hordes, and a fabulous host made this feel like home. We loved the local feel and the family friendly beach (walking distance) which was mostly uncrowded in early April. Danny goes out of his way to be accommodating and helpful and we'll definitely stay here again when we make it back to Oahu.

10 happy days at Makaha
If you are not fussy there is everything you need indeed. Birds were singing in the distance before dark like at no other place . Large back yard was pleasure to look at and exclusively for us. The host Daniel was very helpful. His dog was the best behaved dog I 've seen. His black cat was coming to stay near us and like the dog was friendly. West Oahu has the best beaches. I did some swimming and free diving at the Makaha caverns nearby and was pleased to see more turtles and fish that I remember from 10- 15 years ago. Even small sharks were cruising at 35-40 feet deep. My wife and I can't surf but watching the locals and specially the young kids do it was amazing. We enjoyed walks before sunset . Sometimes the sunset would be so beautiful. There is a lot to see if you are into unspoiled nature.

Great studio, location and host!
We are a couple who stayed at Danny's place for 6 nights and we would stay there again! We much appreciated the tranquility, safety, and beautiful uncrowded beaches of the neighborhood. The air-conditioned studio gives access to an outdoor terrace where we enjoyed sunny breakfasts and stargazing with Reef and Midnight, the owner's very friendly pets. We also really appreciated the closed garage space for our car rental. Most of all, Danny was very welcoming and responsive: he gave us access to beach gear (chairs, towels) and provided many local tips for restaurants (Coquito's, The Beach House by 604) and island activities. On top of all this, he is an awesome surf instructor and in no time we were up on the boards enjoying the waves in Pokai Bay! The souvenir video, filmed by a drone, was an amazing highlight of our trip. Thank you Danny for being such a great host!

3 day stay
Danny is super nice and very friendly! Every recommendation he gave us (The Beach House for lunch, Ka’ena Park for a hike, Country Cafe for breakfast) was fantastic! We were able to take a surf lesson with him on our last day of our stay, which was AMAZING. An honest description of the property; it is a room built into/onto his garage so we had 3 cockroaches and 2 lizards (that we saw) crawling around the room… Everything else was clean. The room had a stocked little kitchenette, which was perfect. Danny’s neighborhood was quiet and safe, but getting to it was a little questionable (it’s not Danny’s fault, I just wished someone had given us a heads up about parts of the west side of the island).
