I-3 is a spacious open oceanfront studio recently renovated in winter, 2018. With high ceilings and a wall of doors open to the screened lanai, you can relax and enjoy the sounds of the waves and a view of the beach. There is a fully equipped fully remodeled kitchen with all new stainless steel appliances, cabinets, including a washer and dryer within the unit. The condo is freshly painted and nicely furnished with dining table, living room seating area and a brand new (2021) KING size bed. Paniolo Hale has a pool & BBQ's scattered around the property. I-3 is just steps to Kepuhi Beach. It is just a short walk to Make Horse Beach. Nearby is Papohaku Beach, the longest white sand beach on Molokai, where sometimes the only people on the beach are you.
Molokai is known as 'The Friendly Isle.' It is also considered the most Hawaiian island. Like stepping back in time 50 years, you won't find traffic lights, elevators, malls, glitz, or night life. If you're looking for rural place for relaxation, snorkeling, beautiful ocean views, quiet beaches, and old Hawaii, you'll find it on Molokai. Some say 'only on Molokai', we say 'always on Molokai' Come find out why.
Molokai is the smallest of the main Hawaiian chain; 38 miles long and only 10 to 15 miles wide. Its west side is arid and dry. Beaches in the winter are great for surfing, and occasionally for swimming. In the summer the beaches are calm for snorkeling and swimming. The East End is more lush and tropical with miles of barrier reef in front.
Molokai's North side is famous for having the world's highest sea cliffs which rise some 3000 feet out of the ocean. The 2774-acre Kamakou Forest Preserve on Molokai overlooks these sea cliffs, and is home to endangered birds and over 200 Hawaiian plants that grow only in this preserve.
Molokai South side is where you will find our main town, Kaunakakai, with art shops, two full service grocery markets, an ice cream shop, a bakery, and a fine wine and cheese shop. You'll also find limited shopping in the villages of Kualapu'u and Maunaloa.

We just spent a fabulous month in Trisha's unit and can't say enough about how special our time was there. The photos of the condo are accurate but can't begin to capture the nurturing comfort and tranquility of being there in the balmy warmth, complete with tropical aromas and of ...

We’ve stayed at other properties on Molokai and this is definitely our favorite! The view and proximity to the beach is spectacular and the unit is super well equipped. We spent most of our time hanging out on the lanai, reading and watching the surfers, and ventured out to say hi to the sleeping monkseals and swim in the pool, trading the ocean waves for bird sounds.

We spent 11 nights at this lovely property. It was probably the nicest place we have ever rented, and we have stayed in some excellent places. What made it so nice is that even though it is on the small side, it's very well designed, with very high ceilings and large windows, so it feels much bigger than it is. We would definitely stay there again.

We loved to the beautiful ocean views, and the extensive property for taking long walks. Being close enough to see surfers from our lanai was so fun, and loved the peaceful feeling of listening to the waves at night.
We cooked all of our dinners in our studio's kitchen, and found it to have all needed cookware, dishes, appliances, etc. The full size washing machine and dryer were a great help, as able to keep our luggage light for the trip.
Comfortable king size bed, lots of areas to sit comfortably and a nicely appointed bathroom with large shower.
A very short walk to the parking lot, and also to the
beach. The grounds have many varieties of plants, trees and flowers, and wildlife. Watching the wild turkeys roam the property was delightful.
Hope to return for a visit again someday!

Our 6 days at Panholo Hale I-3 was awesome. With an overlooking lanai to the ocean we viewed nightly sunsets from the comfortable rocking chairs. Awakening to the sound of the ocean through the open french doors each morning was luxury.
The condo was aptly equipped, very clean and communications with Scott were superb. We couldn't ask for more. If you are looking for rest and relaxation, we highly recommend this spot on Molokai.

The listing is accurate and was just as beautiful as the pictures. Molokai is a small Island with very little shopping and points of interest but if that's what your looking for it is perfect as we totally enjoyed our 2 weeks here. We are not hikers but there are a lot of trails here and very nice beaches of which most of the time we were the only ones on the beach. For us at 70+ it was a 5 star

A piece of paradise, this villa has the most beautiful beach front views. As soon as we drove up to Paniolo Hale the property is so well maintained, the lush flowers, when you walk into the villa it is just breathtaking. You’re welcomed with ocean waves crashing outside of the lanai. The views are incredible. The decor, was so welcoming. They offered every amenity you could think of, we used the binoculars to watch 3 whales & the surfers. Chairs for sitting to watch the sunset. The fans are amazing & with the cool night breeze we slept like babies. The bed is so comfortable. And they leave you with everything you need in the kitchen. I’ve never been somewhere where they leave laundry tabs for your laundry & it was greatly appreciated. I have traveled the U.S. & internationally, with what is offered inside & out, this is easily the most beautiful place I’ve ever stayed. ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Mahalo.

Very lovely. Did not know how far away from shopping it was. Directions might include reference to yellow fire hydrant adjacent to path leading to property
