My wife and I just returned from a week in Oahu, staying at the Rainbow Inn. This is an apartment in the lower level of Mike and Terri's home, about 20 minutes (without traffic) from downtown Honolulu. It is very convenient to the airport, and, of course the whole island is not a difficult drive away. The apartment has a... More

We booked the Rainbow Inn a few months in advance based on TripAdvisor reviews and we were not disappointed. Firstly, the photos here and on the VRBO website don't do the place justice. It is a complete, LARGE, one-bedroom apartment. You have a large sleeping area, a sitting area with what I think was a futon that could sleep another... More

We stayed at the Inn for three nights and highly recommend you do the same. The view is phenomenal over the whole Pearl Harbour area. You can see the Memorial and the Missouri from you room and you do not have to fight with Honolulu traffic. The apartment is brilliant with everything you need to hand, spacious and very quiet...

Quiet, peaceful, stunning views and very private. Most relaxing place to stay, away from the crowds. Hosts are wonderful and non-intrusive. Pool is wonderful. Stay as long as you can!!!!! Easy access to Honolulu or the North Shore

Certainly going to Hawaii you'd like to stay on the beach, but if you are venturing to other Hawaiian islands do it there. On Oahu, which has some nasty traffic around and within Honolulu, staying just outside the city, with a beautiful hillside view of Pearl Harbor, Rainbow Inn can't be beat. The views from the hillside are unobstructed of... More

We were only able to stay 3 nights; TOO BAD! It was the by far the best of the 2 B & B's of our stay. Near Pearl Country Club Golf and in an upscale residential area. No worries of our vehicle safety and ease of parking spot. Wish it had been warmer to use the pool just outside our... More

This has been our 8th year staying at The Rainbow Inn. Quiet and peaceful, a private pool, kitchen and stunning view of Pearl Harbor. Close to everything Oahu has to offer! Wouldn't stay anywhere else in Hawaii

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Rainbow Inn. It was perfectly located near Pearl Harbor and a short drive to the Honolulu/Waikiki areas. The guest room is located at the bottom of a house in the Aiea foothills above Pearl Harbor. There is a little side gate to enter and we found it very private and quiet. The view... More

We had such a great experience here. We'd read good reviews on this site and booked on that basis, and from my very first email communications with Terri I felt confident we made the right choice. The view and lanai are beautiful, and the room was cleaner than a hotel we later paid $300/night for! The value really cannot be... More
