Enjoyed being in the middle of the road to Hāna, close to the Twin Falls. We drove the road to Hana starting at 5am, we are on eastern US time, which was nice to see the sunrise and have no traffic. We first visited the black sand beach. Hiked the Pīpīwai trail and headed back. Stopped in Keanea at Kōkī beach for the huli huli chicken lunch which was fantastic and so gourmet! Although there was a sprinkle every day, we avoided getting wet pretty easily. It only lasts a few minutes most of the time! I appreciated being able to do laundry since I packed light.The property was cute and well maintained. The treats and flowers upon arrival felt really special. And I enjoyed the chickens (felt like home) despite the roosters wake up call. Chicken are everywhere in Maui!! Thank you for making our time in Maui special.
If you're looking for a little hideaway outside of the hustle and bustle this is the place for you. My husband and I loved it here and would come back again. But if you're looking to be close to restaurants and away from chickens that start crowing before the sun rises you may want to look elsewhere.
My friends and I stayed for a girl's weekend and wanted peace and tranquility. We had a fantastic time and Kai was outstanding before and throughout our stay! The extra touch of welcome goodies and Aloha throughout our stay was terrific. As was the hot tub, perfect for sore muscles after our Haleakala hike!
We had an absolute wonderful time in the Rainbow Lookout. The welcoming details and the way the cottage was prepared for our visit was beyond belief. Fresh eggs and awesome bread in the fridge made my wife want to make breakfast every day! The property itself is wonderful and so lush. Plenty of privacy and a great space. It was very windy and rainy while we visited but I think that actually made it more fun! Owner is very responsive, hot tub was great, plenty of laundry facilities, I could go on - just everything was exceptional!
This place was beautiful, the views were amazing and the hosts are a real treat. The weather was a little hot. We had the fans going and are hosts went above and beyond to unsure our comfort.
The cottage was a very lovely and private place to stay. The best Hawaiian rainforest experience possible without having to live in a tent. Easy off season drive to the beaches. Loved it and would stay again.
An unbelievable gem, given my criteria in identifying a suitable place to stay on Maui. Yes, I like nice beaches, but I am far more interested in staying at a place away from the crowds, low density, discreet, lush and which hearkens a bit back to old Hawaii. This place checks all the boxes. During our stay, it was often difficult to tell if anyone else was staying there with us. The pool was empty every time we went there, and it was refreshing to come back from a daily excursion and take a cool dip. The beds were comfortable and we were able to cook most everything we wanted to in the kitchen. The hot tub was an extra bonus - it was clean and worked flawlessly. On top of all that, and probably best of all, our host Sharyn was absolutely wonderful, warm, very attentive and communicative to our inquiries, yet completely out of sight, to the extent that we invited her over to chat a bit one evening. All in all, a perfect stay, and a place I would definitely return to when in Maui again!
Wonderful, peaceful paradise. If you've stayed in Lahaina or Kaanapali and were horrified by the overcrowding and sterility, this place is the remedy. Spotlessly clean when we arrived and SO MANY cute touches. You might see some ants or lizards inside...but that's how it should be in Hawaii! The pool is wonderful and the property was incredibly cool. We didn't have any problems without a full kitchen - there is a hot plate and microwave etc.
All in all - highly recommend this place!!!
