Maui will welcome you!
90% of our beautiful island was not in the affected fire zone – so please COME VISIT!
You’ll be greeted with warmest ‘aloha’ and your dollars will go towards rebuilding what was lost in Lahaina.
☞★Enjoy our brand new central Air Conditioning
☞★Jump-start your journey along "The Road To Hana" and relish in the convenience of our prime location, allowing you to stay ahead of the crowds and truly enjoy the experience!
☞ Experience the beauty of Maui from the comfort of Rainbow Lookout, your perfect getaway situated at the beginning of the ROAD TO HANA! Our top-floor suite boasts breathtaking views of the ocean and cliffs, spanning along the coastline and reaching up to the summit of Mt Haleakala. Whether you're here for a romantic escape or a family vacation, Rainbow offers a magical retreat away from the stresses of daily life. Plus, we're only a short 15-20 minute drive away from grocery stores and a variety of dining options, making it an ideal base as you explore the island.
☞ Rainbow Lookout is a dramatic two story accommodation which has a feeling of privacy and seclusion. Upstairs, you have Cal King bed with six foot skylights overhead for star-gazing - (our stars are very bright here, far away from city lights)... two private balconies, one with gorgeous ocean views and the other over our beautiful pool. Downstairs, there are two small sitting rooms (one with a couch/trundle so if you have an extra little one, we can make space for you) ... full bathroom, wet bar (fridge, sink, dishwasher, coffee maker, blender, microwave etc ... cooking is done outside under the covered lanai - perfect for light meal prep ... and we have lots of 'plug ins' - griddle, electric frying pan, plug in hot plate etc) + dining area leading out on to one of several private lanais with soothing waterfall gardens, barbecue, and of course, your own private hot tub. Do be aware, though, that as we're 'in the jungle' you'll see an occasional gecko, or ant! So don't let them freak you out! :):):)
☞ From Rainbow Lookout, you can see all the way along the north shore cliffs of Maui to Hana, and then the spectacular views just keep going ... over our orchard greenery and all the way up the slopes of Mt Haleakala, our 10,000 ft dormant volcano.
☞ Our location is ideal for exploring the whole island - but you don't have to stay in a crowded tourist area to do it ... 20 mins to Paia or Makawao, 1 3/4 hours to Hana, 75 mins to Lahaina, 45 mins to Kihei, 1 1/2 hrs up to the top of Haleakala etc. Maui is small enough so that you can stay in one place and have the whole island at your fingertips! BUT PLEASE BE AWARE THAT WE FEEL 'REMOTE'. The last mile of the Hana Highway before you turn off to Door of Faith Road is curvy, and the last third of a mile of our little road can be bumpy/ pot holey (depending on whether we've just had rain). This is a location intended for people who want that 'away from it all' feeling ... so if you're looking for big-time shopping and night life, this is NOT the place for you. Also note: nearest beach is Ho'okipa, about 20 mins away by car.
Enjoy the seclusion of a jungle paradise with everything that a Maui vacation has to offer right at your fingertips!

Our beautiful 44 ft" jungle pool" is shared but you rarely see anyone else at all as everyone is out exploring the island! Also, each accommodation is landscaped for absolute max privacy ... each cottage has its own private hot tub, lanais and barbecue areas.
There is now a lovely walk down to the top of the ocean cliffs - especially spectacular round sunset when the greens are fluorescent, the ocean is blinding blue, the hills are velvet and the cows peacefully inquisitive on either side of you in their pasture. A 'must' do (only a 10 minute walk).
We leave guest to enjoy their privacy, but we're always available for questions etc and all guests have our personal cell #s.

This region of the island is an outdoor paradise. There are so many things to do in Maui, and all of them can be accessed from our property. You will be minutes away from beaches, jungles, waterfalls, restaurants, and state parks. Everything you need to make the most of a trip to Hawaii.

We're very much a 'local style' neighborhood where people are relaxed, friendly and into the organic lifestyle. ★ Please drive along our small local road very SLOWLY (10 mph or less) as we like to 'blend' into our local neighborhood and be respectful to our neighbors.
We're a jumping off point to the road to Hana and our three small local towns - Haiku (15 mins to restaurants & groceries), Paia (a quaint beach town with a modern, fun vibe), and Makawao (a 'paniolo' / cowboy town with a unique Hawaiian flair). Then, of course ... you have golden beaches, giant sea turtle resting places, tide pools, boogie-boarding ... hiking the crater ... exploring the winery, the lavender farm, the goat farm (Surfing Goat Dairy - how cool is that?) ... the famous 'road to Hana' with all its riches ... waterfalls ... bamboo forests ... Maui's beauty will take your breath away. We think it's the most romantic island in the world (and we've lived here for 26 years!
This area is considered Maui’s “North Shore” and is full of lots of boutique shops, restaurants, farmers' markets, and local jewelers. No matter where you wander you are sure to get the full island experience and find something for the whole family.
You'll definitely need to rent a car for seeing the island. We recommend a medium clearance vehicle as small country roads can be a bit bumpy, (ours included - please drive only at 10mph on gravel roads). You won't need a 4WD unless you're going up to the Poli Poli State forest.
No resort fees, free WIFI, free laundry and most importantly, lots of Aloha!
-We don't do daily maid service, but will happily supply you with fresh linens or cleaning supplies. Ocean Lookout has its own private laundry.
-We make the security and privacy of our guests a priority and as such request that OUR ACCOMMODATIONS ARE FOR REGISTERED GUESTS ONLY.
Another note - we're a SMOKE FREE PROPERTY.
-We request that you please please please shower off all sunscreens/body lotions etc before using our hot tubs or pool! Also, please do NOT use any scents or soaps in the tubs as this will necessitate a complete draining of the tub, replacement of filters etc and you would be charged $100 from your security deposit. Also please rinse off after the beach as it's no fun vacuuming sand out of our hot tubs!
-WE DO NOT HAVE CABLE, but we do HIGH SPEED INTERNET so you can stream Netflix, Amazon video, etc on your smart TV. We're an ideal home base if you need / want to plan a 'working' vacation, and need to conduct business calls from your place.

My husband and I spent the weekend at the Rainbow lookout and had a phenomenal time! The B&B exceeded our expectations and the hosts made everything easy from the moment we landed on island and throughout our stay. They made the check in and check out process easy and smooth and provided excellent directions to the house and more written information in the house with recommendations on how to make the most out of our stay. The house was beautiful, clean and best of all, private. You felt as if you were in your own world and oasis. We had all we needed to feel comfortable and completely immerse into the peacefulness of this off the grid location. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience to enjoy our wedding anniversary and will definitely be back one day!
This house was amazing. We chose to stay here for a few nights of our honeymoon and could not have been happier. It’s very secluded and a great break from the busier resort towns. But it’s close enough to dining and grocery. We loved all of details of this house. It’s private and the hosts make sure you have everything you need. We enjoyed cooking breakfast and feeding the chickens on location. The pool was right outside and we had it all to ourselves. The AC was well maintained. And the owners were very responsive. 11/10 would recommend
We had such a great experience with the property! It was a great kickoff to our first trip to Hawaii. We stayed there for 4 days at the beginning of a trip to Maui and Oahu and trekked up to the top of Haleakala and down past Hana. The location is really great - along the road to Hana, but close enough to Paia and Haiku for restaurants if need be. The kitchen was well outfitted for cooking and other amenities were greatly appreciated. Our two teenagers loved being able to get back to the bungalow to chill after our days full of activity. We will definitely recommend to others and hope to make it back someday!
We loved this place so much! We never felt more relaxed. It was just as described. The communication with the host was easy and enjoyable also. We would definitely recommend this for people looking for a relaxing getaway!
Walked in to a house full of fresh flowers, fresh bread and champagne! Everything about this property is thoughtful, you can tell they put a lot of time and work into it! The landscaping is beautiful and functional to give each house their own private space. Definitely a perfect romantic getaway.
My partner and I wanted to get away for a trip just the two of us (leaving our kiddo at home). We stayed at the Rainbow Lookout for the first half of our trip and it was so beautiful, peaceful, private, and a great launching off point for us to explore adventures nearby. Sharyn was incredibly helpful when I had travel related questions - she went above and beyond with tips and recommendations. The place is well stocked with treats and there is a beautiful walk out to the cliffs you can take with expansive views and no one else around. We loved the pool and hot tub. Thank you. Mahalo. We are forever grateful.
After staying on Oahu for 6 nights, our 3 nights here seemed way too short. Every detail Sharyn, Jeff, Kai, and staff put into this home is just incredible. It is so clean and bug-free, especially considering you are in the jungle! It is a great location, away from crowds yet accessible to so many things. The location is ideal for a truly unique-to-you experience. We enjoyed dinner at Mama’s Fish House after a sunset at Hookipa our first night. Our second day we drove the Road to Hana and, because of its location, still had time for a soak in the hot tub under breezy palm trees before sunset views on their private cliff walk, a simple homemade meal, and star-gazing under the most amazing sky! Rainbow is also an easy drive to Wailea and Kihei if you want to check out that area as well! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home and the extra touches that made our 25th anniversary trip so very special!
The Rainbow Cottage was absolutely lovely. We enjoyed everything about our stay. Sharyn left us some lovely fruit, farm fresh eggs, a bottle of wine, and some home baked bread. It was all fabulous. The sunrise views were beautiful. We also enjoyed the dark skies at night and the stars, especially through the windows above the bed.
My wife and I spent the latter half of our honeymoon in Maui, but wanted to get away to the quiet part of the island. Sharon’s property was perfect for that. It is right along the road to Hana yet close to some of Maui’s best beaches on the northern side of the island. The house itself was also stunning- clean interior, gorgeous views, and surrounded by jungle. Sharon was also extremely responsive and personable!
Unique property with some flavor of "Old Hawai'i." Very private, yet the long-time proprietors are close by and wonderfully friendly. Incredible sunrise views. Do not miss the cliff walk! Thank you Sharyn!
Amazing!!! Great location, amazing hosts, great hospitality! We absolutely loved our stay!!
