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!

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 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

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!!!

Wonderful winter escape!

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!
