Star Lookout is a truly excellent place to stay, and we had a wonderful, lovely experience. It's one of several detached, private cabins offered at this location. Our hosts Sharyn and Jeff were very gracious, caring, helpful, accommodating, and thorough.

Of the three vacation rental homes we stayed at on this 17 day trip to Oahu and Maui, this was tops in every respect.

The location is very quiet and peaceful. The tiled outdoor shower was the perfect start to each day, and the hot tub the perfect end, with the porch, hammock, and greenery adding to both. A nice swimming pool is shared by all guests, though we were too busy running around the island to take a dip!

Everything was in great condition, and very attractive. The furnishings, linens and towels, décor, and all the flowers really made it feel like something very special, especially for a couple!

A generous selection of breakfast items, fruits, and even a bottle of wine were provided, in case you forgot something. Since it's 20 minutes to town, we suggest a little shopping on the way if you want the option of not having to go anywhere for a day or two. The Huelo Point Lookout roadside stand and the Twin Falls Maui farm stand (both 8 minutes away, 6 minutes from each other) offer fruits, smoothies, candies, and crepes.

Located in a somewhat rural area just a few miles into the Hana road, this is an excellent base from which to make day trips along same, and/or reach other attractions, restaurants, shopping, and beaches in the Northeast area.

Since about 2/3 of our trip was with friends on Oahu and elsewhere in Maui and this was the only part we had alone, we tried to do too much! Our day trips were: sites along Hana road (twice), Makena Beach on a day when the closer Baldwin Beach was too choppy (although we did get to that beach on the way to Lahaina,) and the Kula area in the central mountains to see gardens, horses, and another climate (bring another layer.)

If you are coming to Maui mainly for peace, quiet, and R&R, this is ideal. If you will also be staying in other parts of Maui running around, stay here for a couple of days to slow down!

Would we come back here? If at all possible, Yes!
