About this apartment rental
Located between Oahu and Maui...Molokai is an undiscovered treasure. 'The Friendly Isle' is a family-oriented island with deep connections to its Hawaiian traditions. Unlike the tourism driven other islands, here you can relax, slow down and have your own space. Nowhere else in the Hawaiian Islands will you have the opportunity to be the only one on a long white sand beach.
Ke Nani Kai #132 is a welcoming spacious end unit (the largest of the 3 floor plans) that has been decorated in fantastic Hawaiian style by the owners. Fun fresh paint throughout as well as vintage travel posters adorn the walls. The sofa and chair covered in a mocha palm print add to the island-inspired makeover. Ke Nani Kai floor plans were designed so that the master bedroom can be closed off or opened up to the living area to give the unit a spacious feel and take advantage of the tropical breezes. The master received a tropical touch-up with a bamboo comforter set and bed. The master bathroom has been remodeled to add a new vanity area and walk-in shower. The second bedroom has new beds and is decorated in a surf shack motif.
The glass top dining set in the open great room has brightly colored green and blue chairs. The newly updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances and new tile countertops is connected by a helpful pass-through. The kitchen is well stocked with Circulon pots, kitchen gadgets, flatware, and glasses (both glass & plastic since glass is not allowed at the pool). You will have no problem preparing delicious meals with the local organic fruits and vegetables as well as grass fed Molokai beef or freshly caught fish.
There is a southwest facing wall of sliding glass doors that open up to an oversized shaded tiled patio and rolling lawn with the surprise addition of a mango tree. You are just a minute stroll from the best pool in Molokai and the regulation tennis courts. The Ke Nani Kai grounds are gorgeous. Look for hibiscus, plumeria, and banana trees when you walk the short 5 minutes to Kepuhi Beach. And, enjoy the wild turkeys and other exotic birds walking by in the morning while you eat your breakfast.
Ride a mule to Kalaupapa, hike to a waterfall, explore lush tropical forests, eat coconut pastries at the bakery, read a book at the pool, or just do nothing. Visiting Molokai will change your life for the better.

First, sand & dirt over the entire units flooring. We swept and mopped the entire place. Dirt covered window sills & screens. All the linen smelled like it sat for months, smelly like damp. The dryer was not hot enough & took all night to dry the items washed. The wall outlet nearly shocked me when plugged into my phone charger in. The price charged for a dirty place was not worth the stay. Three nights for over 800.00. Your housekeeper is not doing a good job. It was awful. I feel i should have got a discount.

Spacious 2bd/2bth condo. Bottom floor with nice lanai and grassy area in front. Close walk to the pool, and 5-minute walk to the beach. Condo floors felt really dirty, and we washed all the linens the night we got there as they smelled musty and felt dirty. Small task that takes little effort. After all its Molokai. Relax and enjoy. You don't need much.

We were a family group and loved the privacy of two separate bedrooms and two bathrooms. The kitchen had all the standard kitchen items and spices so we could make what we wanted to with the groceries we brought with us. The linens and towels were plentiful. The communication and instructions were super helpful and appreciated. Loved the vintage posters and extra leisure activities found in the closet! We had two phone numbers to call in case we needed anything. The pool was nearby and it was just a quick walk to the ocean. We couldn't have been happier with our choice to stay at this location!

The kitchen had what we needed & we did have good dinners. The place is in a very quiet area. There are beaches in walking distance both north and south. We heard Hawaiian music at the pavilion that’s just past the mac nut farm (Sundays 3–5). We went to Hiros for lunch one day. A very relaxing and fun time.

We had so much fun at this property! The host was extremely kind, and the house was exactly as described, and we loved it.
Walking to the beach is super fun in the morning/evening and playing all day in the sand is so therapeutic.
There are so many places to explore. The pool is kept very clean and the barbecue area is perfect for family dinners.
Can’t wait to return!!

My graduate student and I stayed here during our 2 week trip to Molokai to tend to my winter corn nursery. The unit was clean and organized. It was super convenient to get to/from the field. The visiting peacocks and chickens were fun.

Hidden Gem of Tranquility
We stayed in this pearl of a condo at the Ke Nani Kai Resort in the most intriguing and beautiful area of Maunaloa. A truly original Hawaiian experience. A very peaceful setting, quiet except for the lovely bird song we woke up to each sunny morning. The lanai was our favorite place to hang when around the condo. Furniture and bedding was very comfortable. Bathroom linens were nice and well supplied. The kitchen had everything we needed and was well organized, plentiful, and clean. We felt safe sleeping with the doors open and screen doors locked so we could take advantage of the trade winds moving through the rooms and keeping us cool.
We were here during mango season and enjoyed picking a fresh mango off the lovely mango tree for breakfast just off the lanai. Our neighbor was very quiet-even with our doors open and facing each other we never encountered them. The pool is beautiful, but we spent our days exploring the island and walking to the beach enjoying long walks and swims. The ocean is calm enough to swim in and there’s hardly a soul on the beach. Although we did encounter a couple of signs on the side of the road that said “Stop-Shop-Leave” all the residents of the island were very friendly, kind, and we had a great time talking story on this peaceful and laid back island. My son in law is a big lover of fly fishing and booked 2 days of bonefishing with Uncle Joe. He’d never seen bone fish as big as they have on Molokai. He had a blast! In 4 days we saw a lot of the island-gorgeous beaches, beautiful mountain preserves, wonderful bird life and marvelous views. So much to see and do there. Fish, body surf, snorkel, hike, explore. I haven’t mentioned half of what we did there. The tranquility there was comparable to being at a health spa. Our host, Meg and property manager, Julie, were very responsive. I hope you’ll enjoy you stay as much as we did!

Family Vacation
We stayed for the weekend. We came to the island to visit family who live on the other end of the island. We were very impressed with the condo and area. Some of the resort is run down and vacant, but the area that this condo is in had a very nice pool and it was very comfortable and well decorated. We had everything we needed plus some. We enjoyed waking up and seeing peacocks, turkeys and chickens everyday. There is no AC which we were prepared for because we have visited this island before. It was not needed. there was plenty of breeze and the condo allowed it to flow through. We really enjoyed our stay here.

Restful
Nice and comfortable condo. Definitely make sure you follow the orders of the property though. Accidentally not following a rule (because you didn’t see the sign and are very hard of hearing) will get you an email from the property owner. Seriously ridiculous.
Ive been to Molokai many times. This is my first time staying at this complex. It’s a nice place to relax for sure.

Molokai Getaway @ Ke Nani Kai
Location was exactly what we wanted for a low key, relaxing vacation with home comfort amenities and property staff friendly and helpful. Owner was very responsive to our communication when repair was needed for the shower on first day.
Information binder provided in the unit was very useful to help locate shopping, sight-seeing and restaurants.

Enjoyable Hawaiian Experience
We thoroughly enjoyed our four-week stay in 132. This is our second visit to Ke Nani Kai, which never disappoints. The setting is rural and remote, allowing for a quiet getaway and a true Hawaiian experience. There are trails to walk and beautiful nearby beaches. The pool is lovely, always clean, with plenty of lounge chairs and constant monitoring. Meg's unit is spacious and centrally located, with sunset and peekaboo views of Papohaku Beach. Ample beach towels and toys are provided as well as beach chairs and tennis equipment. Internet was reliable. There is a nice library of books, also games and puzzles. Appliances are good quality and the kitchen is well stocked with cookware and utensils. Ample towels, bedding and blankets are provided. Meg responded immediately to all of our communications and assured that we had everything we needed during our stay. We hope to return soon.

Relaxing Week in Molokai
Meg’s condo was perfect for our visit to Molokai -just as warm and welcoming as the island itself. A very helpful book with suggestions for what to see on the island, stores and other attractions, descriptions of the beaches, etc was provided as well as essentials such as beach chairs snd towels, washer and dryer…and lots of dishes and pots. Meg also was very prompt and gracious at resolving initial issues with internet access, uneven shower pressure, and a door problem! We loved the fantastic sunsets into the ocean and the peace of Molokai. Thank you!

Will definitely stay here again.
The owner communicated very quickly. The on-site host responded to my needs happily. The neighbor is awesome and friendly. The property kitchen is well stocked, as we did all our own cooking - which is what we recommend for your time on the west side. KNK is lovely.

Enjoyable Property
We enjoyed our stay at this property and found the home to be in good condition. The West side of the island is the more quiet side so would definitely recommend staying in Center region or even East (closer to Halawa) to be closer to most of the sights that Molokai has to offer.

Meg was very helpful and informative as to what to expect. Made the whole check-in process so much easier. The unit itself was spacious enough to accommodate our family. All the amenities made it feel like home away from home. We really enjoyed our time there and definitely made use of the facilities. We would definitely consider staying there again.

Nicest condo development on Molokai
Large, well equipped, comfortable condo in a very quiet complex close to a dramatic beach. Although the pool is well kept we found it too cold. We were told some people swim but we never saw anyone in the water. Sunday evening movie night was a nice way to meet a few neighbors. Lots of paths to explore on the abandoned golf course. No swimming or snorkeling nearby in the winter. You must have a car as the only town is a 30 to 40 minute drive away. No restaurants or grocery stores on the West end of the island. Tiny convenience store at the complex across the street if snack foods. Great place for those looking for a very quiet, relaxed vacation
