Access Your Oasis: You get the whole private, free-standing Rainbow Bungalow all to yourself! Your front door faces the lush rainforest, and the journey to this secluded spot involves climbing a few stairs—think of it as a little climb to paradise! (Please note: Due to these steps, the bungalow is not wheelchair accessible.)

We want your stay to be perfect!

Due to City & County regulations, all bookings require a 30-night minimum stay (though early departures are fine!). We’ve adjusted our nightly rates and applied a monthly discount to offset this requirement.

To Meet Code: Please book the full 30-day period required, even if your actual trip is shorter. This helps us manage our calendar and "puzzle together" longer stays for future guests, which is why we must maintain a strict cancellation policy.

For questions or if you need stay options outside our calendar, please message us and reference JFodor!

We came in the middle of March and it was perfect. There was four adults and we were comfortable the entire time. The house is very clean, and has a fully stocked kitchen. The owner was very flexible with our schedule changes, and was very easy to deal with. Would book this house again in a heart beat!

The accommodations met our needs. We were here for a medical reason. Jess was a lovely hostess , excellent communication. We hope to come back again. So nice to be away from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki.

Loved my stay here!!! Went with 4 other girls for a girls weekend and the location was perfect!! Quiet area and very clean! We did run out of toilet paper and I was able to contact the owner and get the “situation” fixed extremely fast and officiant. (Thank god!)
