Excellent vacation rental in Maui

Great communication. Beautiful place. Perfect for 3 adults. My only complaint is noisiness of the main bed. Birds were our wake up call each morning around 5 am. Lots of geckos were cool. Very well stocked placed with many extras. Would highly recommend this place. Way better than a hotel room.

Really nice cottage

Many nice amenities found here not in other places on Maui we have rented. Excellent AC and internet service. Computer in the cottage you can use. The fridge had a giant basket full of bars, fruit, cheese and other items. Also had OJ and milk and some other things. Communication with the owners was easy and fast. Actually, can't say enough good things. A very nice experience for us all.

Perfect place to stay!

We had a great stay in Kihei. The apartment was perfect and we felt very welcome. The location in South Maui is close to many beaches, some for snorkeling, some for swimming, some for bodyboarding. We even spotted turtles! Good coffee bars, restaurants and foodtrucks are also nearby. We definitely recommend!

The property was in a very convenient location, close to Safeway, shops and Foodland. They have so many amenities available to us, boogie boards, beach chairs, hiking gear, binoculars, towels, basically fully stocked kitchen. Perfect place for two couples or less. I would gladly come back to this vrbo location!

Amazing

Joe and Mary Ann have created the most complete and comfortable home in an amazing location in Maui Meadows. Completely secluded on a private property in beautiful Maui but incredibly close to all the great beaches and activities/restaurants. This beautiful home lacks for absolutely nothing as every need had already been anticipated and supplied.

Third wonderful stay at Rainbow Cottage

We had another amazing stay at Rainbow Cottage. We continue to be highly impressed with the cleanliness and the outstanding hospitality provided. Joe and Mary Ann truly understand what guests need to feel comfortable. From the comfortable beds, to the wonderful linens, to the beautiful landscaping and location, it can’t be beat.

Another perfect stay

What’s not to love? Once again impressed with the extremely clean cottage, the views, the landscaping, the comfort. Joe and Mary Ann have thought of everything you could need for a comfortable stay. The linens are high quality, the appliances (including full sized washer/dryer) are all in good working order, great water pressure. The welcome basket and extras (milk, juice, yogurt, granola, coffee, and more) is delightful, and can sustain you for a couple of days. And the sunsets! We so enjoyed our time there after two years of not traveling, and will definitely be back! Mahalo Joe and Mary Ann!

Above and Beyond!

We loved our time at the Rainbow Deluxe guest house - truly a hidden gem! The house was exactly as described, although the pictures don't capture the beauty of the surroundings. The house was well-stocked with all the essentials needed in the kitchen, bedrooms, and bathrooms, as well as for outings and activities. Joe and Mary Ann have thought of everything. We were thrilled to find a welcome basket with fruit, snacks, and coffee as well as a fresh pineapple, upon arrival. What a nice surprise. The beds were so comfortable and the linens and towels were high quality. We felt pampered after long days hiking and scuba diving. The cottage is in close proximity to the beach and relatively close to Haleakala National Park and other hikes. We usually spend most of our time away from our accommodations when travelling. In this case, we felt very torn and longed for more time at the house, which was so relaxing. On the day we checked out, we were able to spend several hours on the lanai drinking coffee and enjoying the surrounding nature. We will be back!

Rainbow Deluxe - - Oct 22

This place is so nice, we’ve now stayed here twice! Spotlessly clean and well supplied with everything you need, from a fresh pineapple and welcome basket of goodies that lasted the whole week, to all the beach supplies imaginable, to the plushest bath towels this side of the Four Seasons. Not to mention the full-size washer/dryer so we could return home with clean clothes. Our thanks to Joe and Mary Ann, with hopes we will have an opportunity to stay here again!

Home Away From Home - The Perfect Place for our Ohana's Maui Vacation.

We were blessed to be able to stay at the Rainbow Deluxe in July, 2022 for 15 nights. This was the 6th visit to the RD Cottage and we have enjoyed every time we have stayed there. It is a wonderful 2 bedroom/2 bath home in a quiet neighborhood called Maui Meadows. It is the located close to the Wailea and Kihei beaches, shops and restaurants. You can get to the beach in 3-4 minutes and shops within 5-10 minutes. The owners, Joe and Mary Ann, have thoroughly thought through the needs of the Maui Vacationer and provide just about everything that would come to mind to make it a special and memorable one. You do not have to spend valuable vacation time shopping or renting items such as boogie boards, beach towels, beach chairs, umbrella, snorkel gear, coolers, and even backpacks, pole and binoculars for hiking. The exterior is always manicured and well taken care of. The property has always been pristine upon arrival and we are always impressed by additions and improvements installed by the owner over the years. The interior is the same as above, it is always neat and organized and everything is well stocked to make the stay as comfortable for guests. In addition to comfortable living quarters, there is a nice kitchen, sitting room and closets for ample storage. We appreciate the gift basket with drinks and goodies waiting for us in the fridge upon arrival. Although there are many sights to see, experience and shop on the island, the true gem of this location is that it matches up with our Ohana's vacation style of relaxing, rejuvenating and taking in the mana of the island. This has been the perfect place to serve as home base for our surfing, skateboarding, and continuing to bond as a family. We enjoy going to populated places such as Ka'anapali, Lahaina, Kihei, and Wailea, but also appreciate that we can also stay at the cottage to do what we call "Lanai Therapy" to do things such as yoga, meditation, bird watching, taking walks in the neighborhood, watching the sunset, and star gazing. Although there are some really good restaurants with ocean views on the island, they can be very crowded and ocean/sunset view seats are not guaranteed. One additional gem we have come to enjoy is cooking meals on the BBQ grill and having a relaxing family dinner outside on the shaded Lanai while looking at the ocean view and sunset and not have to fight for a reservation. We look forward to coming back in the future.

Home away from home

This is a lovely 2 bedroom home situated on a manicured yard tucked into a quiet residential neighborhood just off a main highway. The only sounds were the birds/roosters and we felt very safe. You are close to all the Wailea/Kihei restaurants/beaches and a good central location to all of Maui. The home is in great condition and well cared for. It has all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay (great AC, the best shower water pressure I have even experienced, robes, softest bath towels that I wish I knew the brand of because I would buy them immediately, quality beach towels/chairs/umbrella, snorkel gear etc). This is a special home and we wouldn't hesitate to return!

Maui Comfort

We were very happy we chose the Rainbow Deluxe cottage for our twelve-night stay on Maui. It’s a well-equipped, quiet place to escape the very busy beach areas of the island. As long as you have a vehicle, you can easily access everything Maui has to offer from here. Our hosts were quick to respond to our questions.

My stay in Kihei

I was supposed to take part in a one day retreat and give a talk to a zen Buddhist group in Wailea but because of the Covid-19 virus quarantine I could not meet with members of the community. So I had the opportunity of doing my own private retreat at the Deluxe Rainbow Cottage. The time I spent there was beautiful, restful and lovely. I cannot express my gratitude to Mary Ann and Joe for creating such an environment of peace and serenity, plus the wonderful hospitality. Even though we were all in a stressful time, I credit these property caregivers with making my stay in a valuable and unusually gracious experience. Thanks for all you did for me.

About the host

Hosted by Joe & Mary Ann

Host profile image
Established in 2011 upon obtaining the operating license from Maui County, we offer our former personal guest house to the public, to enjoy a very private home and experience living like a local in a peaceful residential area of this spectacular island of Maui, away from the hustle and bustle of the busy tourist resorts.

Why they chose this property

Unlike condos, duplexes or private homes in close fitting residential subdivisions, you will find yourself secluded in the middle of your own quarter acre of open landscaped privacy well off the street with no view of someone's window directly opposite your windows or lanai, no person looking into your front entrance from a common walkway, no one on the other side of a wall, above your ceiling or below your floor to disturb you, your own private driveway entrance and shaded parking. Home base during your vacation will really feel like your very island home away from home.

What makes this property unique

Only 1 mile to Keawakapu Beach, one of the best on Maui. We are conveniently located next to and above the Wailea Resort within 500 feet distance of its world class restaurants, shopping, golfing and beaches, all the enjoyment of the Resort's offerings without the price. Truly an affordable island getaway in paradise.
