Why we opened NSL
Throughout our many travels we have made lasting relationships while staying at alternative lodging options and have been inspired by other world travelers along the way. We decide to open a bed and breakfast to providing a similar alternative accommodation where travelers can experience the beauty of Hawaii and all of its adventures while making new relationships and connecting with other travelers on a deeper level with the spirit of aloha. At North Shore Lookout our favorite meaning of aloha is "To consciously manifest life joyously in the present." With that said, our goal is to provide a place to relax and rejuvenate after your adventures and to help you find joy every day you stay with us. Aloha!

Peaceful, relaxing, and accommodating
This B&B is so peaceful and romantic. It is perfectly tucked up in the mountain giving it an amazing view all around. The interior was clean and the welcome basket was a nice touch! The grounds are well kept as well. The food is absolutely amazing, I would strongly recommend attending breakfast every morning!! The hosts are so kind and accommodating and are happy to share the best local attractions. We were a little disappointed that the private firepit outside our suite was not functional, as it was one of the main reasons we picked the pricier Hoku Suite. I would also recommend that the owners add full-length mirrors to the rooms. But aside from those couple of minor things, this place is the perfect getaway spot for anyone looking to truly unwind!

Nice place. Great people
Nice place. Great people - very attentive and very sharing of their knowledge of the island. Room is outstanding. Be sure you want an up country spot which is rural. If you do, this is an excellent choice. Very quiet, very authentically modern Hawaii. Excellent restaurants are within a few minutes. Unquestionably five stars.

New Competition for the Four Seasons Resort . . . .
Simply put, if the Four Seasons had B & B's, this would be one of them. If you are looking for peace and tranquility, the North Shore Lookout is your place. Spent 5 days with Shannan and Josh, and couldn't have asked for more. These folks are the consummate professionals, and the views from the edge of the Makawao Forest overlooking the city lights and the ocean are second to none. All I can say is, book early. This is about to become very popular. . . .
