Molokai Shores 131

The place was lovely, comfortable, and convenient. The amenities were great, the view stellar, and the administrative staff friendly.

Pool was relaxing after exploring the island all day

nice place to stay

Everything in this unit has been totally updated. The one bedroom, King bed is comfortable and well thought out. The condo is so well well appointed. Anything that we needed was found at our fingertips. The view is of the ocean and near the pool. We found the quiet and serenity we were looking for...We only wish that we had booked more days at this little slice of heaven. You never know what you are really going to get until you see what the booking really is. If you are looking for comfort, quiet and serenity in your crazy lives ...you will find it here. Many thanks to our hosts!

We reserved a ground floor unit at Molokai Shores. The information we received the day before check-in moved us to a different, second-floor unit. That was fine with us, but it would be a problem for someone who couldn’t climb stairs. The location is good, close to town. Bring your own salt, pepper, coffee filters, etc. The condo complex is a popular place for local families to gather. Beautiful grounds, small beach, lovely view of Lanai. We enjoyed our stay.

Great location and very nice condo. Everything you needed for a comfortable stay. Loved the art work.

Extremely well equipped unit, only issue was lack of space to put away our stuff (clothes and groceries)

It was very much like being at home

Place was dusty and dirty floors were horribly dirty. Needed earplugs to drown out roosters sounding out starting at 4am. People above us were clopping around all the time. Place was so hot it was horrible. We had windows open and no breeze. We would never stay here again. Place was not exactly like pictures

First time to Moloka'i and I debated on staying here or out on the west end of the island. I'm glad I chose this property -- central location on the island, close enough to walk to town (about a mile on the side of a busy road -- do-able for adults, but not with kids) and to a nice restaurant/bar at Hotel Molokai (1/4 mile on same busy road). The property is great -- FANTASTIC view with a nice pool, quiet-ish condo complex, updated furnishings and original artwork, comfortable bed, private-feeling lanai with quality furniture, and the best stocked kitchen I've seen in a rental. Given this, I was surprised that some things were overlooked-- no coffee filters, no bathroom sink soap, no clean kitchen sponge, no beach towels or beach chairs. These weren't a big deal -- we wound up getting these ourselves, but it would've been nice to have had ready, and these seem standard for a (beach) condo. The check-in process was challenging, in part due to low staffing with Covid -- reduced office hours, no one answering the phone on the ph# posted on the office door, etc. Eventually, we did get the lockbox code but had to wait a couple hours. It would be nice if that could simply be emailed the day of check in rather than going on a goose chase with an off-site office and multiple phone numbers. Despite these minor things, we loved our time and would definitely rent this unit again.

We spent 5 nights at the condo in February during which we experienced incredible weather. The condo itself was nicely appointed and well equipped. Condo grounds are well maintained and the pool area is really nice. For first time travellers to Molokai beware the roosters who will do all in their collective power to wake you, very early. Ear plugs are a must. This location is very central for exploring and close enough to town that we walked.

The condo is in the perfect location, well laid out, easy parking. The view from the lanai is perfect. We appreciated how quiet it was and how beautifully kept the buildings, parking lot, pool, lawn, and landscaping were. The building maintenance guys were friendly and very interesting. The condo was quite clean, although we killed a couple roach-type bugs in the bathroom (but that’s to be expected in the tropics, the chickens and lizards can’t eat all the bugs!) And when we stripped the bed upon leaving, we noticed the mattress could use a good vacuuming. The condo manager was a problem. The paperwork left for us in the condo instructed us to go to the management office in town to officially check in. They gave the address of the office, but no directions, nor do they mention the office is completely hidden from view, and there’s no signage. We finally called the office for directions and found the place. While there, l asked if we could get a bar of soap, as there was nothing but a mini tube of face wash in the condo. “We don’t supply soap,” she said, “because we’re not a hotel.” When l replied we’ve stayed in VRBOs dozens of times and they’d all been supplied with soap, she said we’d just have to buy it ourselves. Later that day, we found that the keys didn’t unlock all 3 of the door locks. No one answered at the management office; the phone rolled over to another number but no one answered that, either. So back we go to the office at 1230, just as the woman was leaving. She complained that we were keeping her from her kids. l pointed out that their office was supposed to be open until 2pm and no one had answered her phone. She called someone to unlock our door. Thankfully he answered his phone and met us at our door. He was very nice and told us if we had any other issues just to find him. A few minutes later we got a call from the woman at the office. She didn’t identify herself but started scolding us for calling the emergency number. I said we’d called the regular number but that it had rolled over because she didn’t answer. She apparently didn’t realize her phone system worked that way. After that 1st day there were no more issues, thank goodness. So, bring your own soap, check to make sure the keys you’re given unlock all 3 locks, try not to have anything to do with the condo management office, and you will have a lovely stay.

I just began a review and I’m not sure it went through. I had more to say. The property was very pretty and the condo was clean, nicely decorated and perfect for our needs. The two major issues were that the electrical appliances - the disposal and the dishwasher did not work. It took several calls to get through to the administration even during their very limited business hours. The disposal eventually was fixed. The dishwasher was not fixed by the time we left - 36 hours after we reported it. Additionally, the house had few provisions. Coming to the island for less than a week, it would have been nice to have salt, sugar, coffee, coffee filters and garbage bags at the very least. We have come to expect that when staying in a condo.

Check in with the ladies at Castle Resort Office was a breeze. In Awe From the moment we walked into the newly renovated beautiful unit! And let’s talk about the amazing view from the lanai that pulls you right outside that takes your breath away. You just have to appreciate the little things of how the beauty of nature can instantly warm your soul no matter how or what you’re feeling that can take you into a whole new world of happiness and content. And believe it or not, we’re from Molokai; Hawaiian born and raised; decided to do a quick overnighter as a change of scenery and it did absolutely just that! You will not regret it! The convenience to the pool and grills right outside your door and central location is the cherry on top! Do yourself a favor and book this unit when you have the chance. You’re welcome! 🌺 #notpaidtoadvertise #happycustomer #paidatownexpense

The management company was really great to work with and the property was better than expected. Decorated nicely and well appointed with linens and small appliances. Steps from a private beach and centrally located to tour the island.
