Hawaii> Maunaloa
- 1 bedroom
- 1 bathroom
- Sleeps 4
Experience spectacular sunsets, white sand beaches, and gentle breezes as you put the cares of this crazy world aside. Relax and step back into the tranquility and natural beauty of this island, rich in the history and culture of old Hawaiian moods and customs. It is said that Moloka'i is the birthplace of the hula and each year hosts a three day festival (http://www.kahulapiko.com).
As you first arrive, you see the lush landscape and gentle slopes of green. North of Ho'olehua airport you find Ironwood Hills Golf Club, RW Meyer Sugar Mill Museum, Pala'ua State Park, Kalaupapa Lookout and the mule trail that leads down the high cliffs to Kalaupapa National Historic Park where you learn of Father Damien's mission and Leper Colony. There are only four main roads on the island, one in each direction. South of the airport you find the main town of Kaunakakai where you can stroll among nut and fruit trees, museums, restaurants, and shops or view the harbor where the boats and sea vessels moor.
Toward the west end you might picnic among Hawai'i's last Royal Coconut Grove at Kapua'iwa Coconut Beach Park or see the petroglyphs or visit the plantation town of Maunaloa.
Go to the east end of the island, following Kamehameha V Highway, and you will see the shallow round stone basins off shore of the many ancient fish ponds; Our Lady of Sorrows Church, built by Father Damien in 1874; St. Joseph's Church; and small roadside businesses. As the road turns northward you find settlement ruins and the mountainous regions of the east coast with its high peaks, rugged landscape, majestic waterfalls, and deep forested valleys. Much of the northside is accessible only by boat or helicopter. This area is the face of the highest sea cliffs in the islands with amazing vistas of the sea.
The northwest side is your home on the islands. Locals say this condo, Kaluako'i Resort Cottage 1A Beachfront Rental, has the best ocean view location on the island! So after or between your explorations, take your book and lounge by the pool which rests above an open ocean and is just set steps away from the whitest sand beaches in Hawaii or watch the waves, search for seashells, discover the rocky sides of the bay, go snorkeling along the coastal reef, or enjoy a cook-out on your lanai as you view the sparkling lights of Oahu across the water in the distance. Then let the sound of waves lull you to sleep.
Make this lovely getaway your place for romance, ...

Location was outstanding it was near the beach. We could watch surfers and boogie boarders surf.
Furnishings, appliances and carpet were old and worn.
We couldn’t use the lanai very much due to the cold westerly wind. A wall on the east side of the lanai would have helped to block the wind allowing our family to sit outside more..
The working washer and dryer was a great convenience.
The placement of the MW oven on top of the refrigerator made it hard to use.
Besides all the imperfections of the unit we still enjoyed our stay.

This unit at Kepuhi Beach is very private with excellent views of the surf from the lanai. It is well equipped and comfortable. They are planning on remodeling it which will only make it an even better place to stay.

This property and Molokai is just perfect for recovering from the stress of the pandemic. You can watch the surfers from the Lanai, relax to the sound of the waves, and walk the old golf course if feeling up to some exercise.
There was a miscommunication with the cleaner about our arrival, but she came after and washed the sheets and towels and checked to see what we might need.

The location of the cottage, just steps from the beach and walking trails, is superb. We also enjoyed sitting on the patio, using the BBQ (although they are quite far away from the cottage), and cooking dinner in the kitchen. Although the unit is aging, it was comfortable, and wonderful for our needs. We would stay in the cottage again.

Magical setting. Uncrowded surf spot. Monk seal on the beach. Turtles 10 yards offshore. Whales 300 yards offshore. Charming Beach cottage. Soooo good for the soul. Had a great 5 day stay. Thank you and I will be back.
