We adored this house and loved our stay in North Shore! The views were incredible, especially in the morning. The kitchen was well appointed and the beds were comfy, with great views from almost every corner of the house. It really made a difference for our drive time on the Road to Hana and Haleakala- we hope to return soon!

If you’re looking to get away and truly enjoy the beauty of Maui this is the place to be! My husband and i enjoyed morning runs, the quiet property and the most amazing sunrises. The kids enjoyed playing in the pool and relaxing in the hot tub. You can tell this property is very loved. We were welcomed with fresh eggs (which were amazing), fresh coffee beans, bread, lemonade and a nice chilled bottle of white wine. I never experienced a vrbo like this and it was truly special.I hope one day we can return with my mom and inlaws.Thank you for sharing your piece of heaven with use!

First, a note about the host. The day before our stay we were scheduled to be in Kahului at a hotel. Unfortunately, this was the timing of a Tsunami warning. Our hotel and surrounding area were evacuated, meaning we would have to stay in a shelter or our rental car (with 3 children, not fun). We called Sharyn on the off chance that she might be able to help, as the property is well out of the Tsunami Zone. She called within 5 minutes and made arrangements for us to arrive early and provided recommendations about getting provisions. In my opinion, you can’t truly know how a host is going to be until something goes wrong. Take comfort that you are in fantastic hands on this property!! She saved our vacation!On to the space…the layout of the house was perfect for everyone to have privacy when needed and together time when wanted. Cooking was easy and comfortable, the AC was helpful when the winds were too strong to keep the windows open. But the true gem was the property, landscaping, and ways to enjoy both with Lanai space. You could literally walk around and feel like you were in paradise! They maintain it beautifully with such interesting flora! The pool was the best I have ever swam in…it was beautiful, comfortable temperature the entire time, just enough sun, and located inside lush plants that really gave that feeling of privacy. Great location for Road to Hana and North Shore towns and beaches! A true 10/10!!

The lookout house was amazing! This side of the island is a complete different experience from the west side. The house is a great jumping off point for the road to Hana. The grounds are truely magical and the house is very comfortable. 5 Stars!

Our crew had an amazing time at the property. The house is great with lots of natural light. Our hosts were very thoughtful and decorated the house with tropical flowers and even left us some goodies for our arrival. The house has a rustic charm that feels warm and inviting. We spent a great deal of time with the a/c off and the doors open letting the breeze blow through. The location cannot be beat if you're considering driving the Road to Hana or exploring Haleakala, both of which were our primary objectives of this trip. The grounds of the property are stunning and feel like a well-maintained tropical paradise with an abundance of tropical plants and flowers throughout the landscape. The pool was also nice, and the kids thoroughly enjoyed it. The walkout to the cliff was spectacular and offered stunning views overlooking the ocean. I will also say the stars from the upper deck at night were a treat and we enjoyed sitting out there late staring up into the heavens. I cannot say enough positive things about our stay, the friendliness of our hosts, or the natural beauty surrounding the property. We would definitely recommend it to anyone really wanting to enjoy the lush tropical beauty of Maui while also enjoying a little personal space.

We loved our stay at The Lookout House! The house was perfect for our family of five. We couldn’t get enough of the views from the deck and loved star gazing at night. The location was secluded, quiet and peaceful. Great location if you want to drive the road to Hana, too! The host(s) were lovely, we felt so welcomed here.

We loved our time at the lookout house! It is so remote, quiet, and peaceful. We loved not having any road noise in the background and just the sounds birds, cows (yes, cows!) and the distant ocean. There were rainbows and whale spouts to spot almost every day. And it truly does jumpstart your Hana drive. We hardly met any crowds or traffic. Wish we didn't have to return to a polar vortex, but it was nice while it lasted!

This home was the perfect home base for us to experience all Maui has to offer! On top of that the ocean views and stargazing made for a trip we will never forget.

This house was all that was promised and more. We loved the chance to relax and be on the road to Hana. We woke up to the best sunrise around with tropical birds singing to us. The pool and hot tub were the kids favorite. We could not have asked for a more peaceful place to enjoy Maui.

This is a perfect spot for a family. You could get all your food in town and enjoy youre whole stay at this place. The staff was extremely nice and good with communication. The host went above and beyond and were more than accommodating to our stay. I would say if youre looking for a place with a pool and amazing views this is it. Dont miss this one. 10/10 for a reason!

What a wonderful place to stay in Hawaii. We stayed for 3 nights to get a jump start on the Road to Hana but this would be perfect to do any and everything on Maui. Such a beautiful spot, home was very well appointed and very secluded.

Our stay was amazing! The views were great, hosts were always available if needed, and very welcoming. It’s a great jump start to the road to Hana. Plenty of space for a large family, really great get away from hustle and bustle of town. We piggy backed this off of time at Ka’anapali and it was great to get both experiences in for a fabulous balanced trip ❤️. Hawaii is truly one of a kind!

This home was gorgeous! From check-in to check-out communication was great! Can’t thank the crew enough for restaurant recommendations (prior to checking in)to the detailed touches throughout the home once we arrived! Great home base to be able to wind down after exploring the Island!

I've been going to Maui some 30+ years, and I am not a cheerful reviewer; so my review comes with some weight and with some experience -- this place, and the hosts, is an absolutely outstanding gem of Maui. Everything one could say good about a vacation retreat (hosts, quality of the place and surroundings, beds, interior, exterior, feeling, ambiance, countless little sweet and touching details) - all is in there. Absolutely recommend! Thank you Kari and team!!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! It was such a beautiful property; very comfortable and inviting. My favorite part was waking up to the beautiful sunrises through our bedroom window. That and the cliffs. We loved it!

This property is just amazing. It is part of a "compound"style that is best for couples and not large families and its a more quiet, peaceful, serene location and while it has a pool its not heated and it more of a relaxing than boisterous place. Cannot recommend it enough for relaxation, beauty and the most beautiful part of the island, The owners are amazing as well
