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!!
Best pool ever!

Pictures don't do it justice

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.

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!

Wow! What an incredibly beautiful property! The lush natural landscape and the colorful decor of the spacious home truly represent the highest sense of a tropical paradise. Our family of 8 appreciated how clean the home was on our arrival and we made great use of the well equipped kitchen during our stay.

The owners were friendly and accommodating and ultimately Huelo Point Lookout was a wonderful location for our family to spend valued time together!
