About this house rental


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 course the hypnotizing sounds of the surf just steps away from the unit. We found ourself somewhat torn each evening about whether to watch the sunset from the beach or from the privacy of our own delightful lanai - such a hardship! Fabulous beaches all around, some easily accessible and in plain sight, others requiring a bit of work to find and access, but all marvellous. The condo is tasteful and comfortable, and Trisha is clearly interested in ensuring that you have a memorable stay.

Really enjoyed Paniolo Hale I3. The screened in lanai is the perfect place to listen to the waves all night long. Great ocean view. Nicely decorated with almost everything you need. Trisha is always quick to reply to any questions you have. Highly recommended.

We had a great stay at Paniolo Hale I3, it was our second trip to Molokai. The unit looks out on the ocean and you can hear the waves at night. We loved the screened lanai and the coziness of the unit. By far one of the best appointed kitchens I have ever used, from the quality pots and pans, to the knives, to the cutting board. (Everything you need and not filled with a bunch of things you don’t need 😉) Queen bed was great too!

Molokai is not for the searcher of night life, it is for travelers happy to explore and relax. That being said, our 4x4 Jeep was a must! There are some nice places to eat in town, and the busy grocery stores have a great selection of food and beer and wine.

September was quite a bit hotter (a couple 90 degree days) and more windy than March, we did find several swimming areas, including at Make Horse just a few steps away.

We can’t wait to come back, and I just want to add, connections from Honolulu are a piece of cake.

Thank you for sharing your home with us 😊

We love Molokai. It is the perfect antidote for the noise and busy life of the city. This unit has a lovely view and has been tastefully redecorated. Wake up to the sight and sound of the waves and birds. Great to have washer and dryer in the unit. All appliances are new and work well. Most of Molokai does not have air conditioning, so it can be quite warm, but we liked the feel of the open air from the screened in lanai. Nice collection of books about the area. It was perfect for the two of us .

This was my fifth stay at this unit, and it's my favorite unit at Paniolo Hale. I love the fact that I can see and hear the ocean waves from the bed when I wake up in the morning, and from the dinner table on the lanai at dinnertime. The unit was nicely refurbished a couple of months ago, and the bathroom and kitchen are great. On the first day I accidentally broke the glass coffee carafe; Trisha the owner immediately sent over a brand new coffee maker with a stainless steel (unbreakable) carafe. I've already booked for a return visit!

COVID UPDATE:
Currently a negative COVID pre-test, within 72 hours of your departure time from your last mainland stop is required, unless you have been fully vaccinated in the US. The negative test result, must be provided to the HOA office at check in, for all parties staying in the unit. If you have been vaccinated, you will need to provide a copy of the vaccination card with your registration. People traveling between the islands, no longer need a test, or proof of vaccination.

Masks are still required in all public indoor locations, such as stores and restaurants.
Maui restaurants, bars and other businesses now require proof of vaccination from indoor customers as part of the county's new "Safer Outside" program.

Starting Wednesday, there were also new limits on private gathering sizes — five people indoors and 10 outdoors.

The county said bars, restaurants, gyms, fitness centers and other “high risk” businesses can operate at 50% capacity indoors if all customers over the age of 12 are fully vaccinated. Unvaccinated patrons can eat in outdoor spaces or get take-out.

There is no option to present a negative COVID-19 test to patronize those businesses indoors, unlike the program on OĘťahu

We had a wonderful time in Molokai. The whole island and this location in particular is very quiet and secluded feeling and perfect for a relaxing and romantic getaway. We had the beach to ourselves at times or shared it with only a few individuals (or seals!). The ocean was warm and calm and nice to swim in (August). The condo’s lanai really makes the experience special as you hear and see the ocean and animals day and night, almost as if you’re sleeping outside. The condo itself is stocked with everything you need for cooking, toiletries and beach gear. The only beach gear missing was an umbrella. We definitely recommend this condo and Molokai in general.

All of the reviews are accurate! The view is amazing! All of the beaches are beautiful and uncrowded! Listening to the axis deer at night along with the ocean waves was so relaxing. The place has everything you need and Pauline had it cleaned to perfection upon our arrival. Great communication with the owner! What is not to love!!!

Loved this stay! Having lived at Paniolo Hale many years ago, it was nice to return and the unit was perfect for us. Molokai's quietness and community will alway be special! Not for everyone or anyone seeking a Hawaii resort experience, but for me, it brought back many memories and remains an island untouched by major change and tourism.

This is a very spacious studio for a couple. Everything is provided for your comfort. Up front on the property so there’s a wonderful view from your screened in lanai. A place where you’ll want to return. Easy communication with the property manager.

What a great location and size for this rental! Walks on the beach, seeing the whales breech from the lani- almost daily! So much to do and see and yet relaxing. Could do it again easily! Would love to be a repeat customer in this location. Anything and everything you need in the condo was there. We love to cook and found all necessities and more meaning found misc spices and condiment that if you buy personal items while you are there you can leave for the next guest to enjoy to help cooking.Plan on cooking at home Sunday and limited dinner possibilities on Monday too. The main grocery in town was well stocked.

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.
