About this property

great for families & professionals

We welcome everyone and especially love hosting families and traveling professionals for extended stays. Easy access to highways in both directions for access to Waikiki, downtown, military bases and hospitals. Our guest house is completely free-standing and elevated above our roofline so the views are even better! Our 2 bed/ 1 bath house has its own smart hot water heater, full-size washer/dryer, kitchen, living room, covered lanai with outdoor dining and a rainforest garden.

Please "request to book" for a price quote; all bookings must be a minimum of 30 days per Honolulu city & county code, but may start and end on a day other than the 1st of the month (we'll pro-rate). We are happy to accommodate families and having a little one of our own, we have lots of toys & gear we can share with you.

Now about our place: Rainbow Bungalow is a 2bd/1bath fully detached private guest house. Rainbows are commonly seen in the afternoons if the rain comes over the Manoa range as the sun is setting. Our location is close to everything in town but secluded and quiet at the same time. Manoa Marketplace, which is about 1.5 miles from the house, has everything you need - grocery store, drug store, 3 coffee shops, vegetarian cafe, ahi bowl cafe and more. Enjoy award-winning restaurants, a farmer market, grocery stores, mall and beautiful community park nearby. Freeway and public transportation access close by.

Perfect Vacation Rental!
We came in the middle of March and it was perfect. There was four adults and we were comfortable the entire time. The house is very clean, and has a fully stocked kitchen. The owner was very flexible with our schedule changes, and was very easy to deal with. Would book this house again in a heart beat!

Clean ,private, close to restaurants, awesome host.
The accommodations met our needs. We were here for a medical reason. Jess was a lovely hostess , excellent communication. We hope to come back again. So nice to be away from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki.

Aloha spirit showed
Loved my stay here!!! Went with 4 other girls for a girls weekend and the location was perfect!! Quiet area and very clean! We did run out of toilet paper and I was able to contact the owner and get the “situation” fixed extremely fast and officiant. (Thank god!)

About the host

Hosted by Jess Lawrence

Host profile image
We are a fun-loving family that makes the most of living and working in Hawaii. The photo of us is of my most recent birthday with my best friend piloting the helicopter we just got out of!

Why they chose this property

We love Manoa and are sure you will too. We value a good night's sleep so our house is extremely quiet and yet close enough to the heart of Honolulu so you don't feel stuck in the worst traffic in the US (seriously, Honolulu is #1 or #2 every year behind LA).

What makes this property unique

We are happy to share our experience of best things to do, place to see and you can use some of our sporting gear (kayak, stand up paddleboard) if you are adventurous too. Manoa waterfall/hike is within walking distance of our home. Our guest house is kid-friendly and we have supplies for babies too (like a pack n play) etc. Just let us know the age of your kiddos and we'll offer what we have to make the trip more enjoyable for them too.
