About this cottage rental
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, or the perfect place to recover from the hurry and scurry of everyday life. Come enjoy beachfront living at Kaluakoi Resort in secluded Cottage 1-A. Walk the sands of Papahaku Beach, the longest stretch of continuous beach in the Hawaiian Islands. Ride a bike along the roads and paths forged from the rich red dirt as you discover the spectacular natural beauty that surrounds you. Once you come, you will want to return...or perhaps, never want to leave.
The condo sleeps 4 - a bedroom with king size bed plus a queen sofa-bed in the living room. Enjoy the fully equipped kitchen with a full size refrigerator, range/oven, dishwasher, disposal, microwave, coffee maker and cooking/eating utensils and more.
For your comfort, the condo has ceiling fans, a color television with DVD, a bathtub with shower, a lanai with furniture, various games and a library of books. It has ceiling fans and health and safety amenities.
Resort amenities include the beautiful freshwater swimming pool with sun deck and spa, a laundromat, an ice machine, a gift shop, free parking, plus a barbeque area and safe deposit boxes.
Enjoy Molokai's rich cultural history and natural beauty. The "Friendly Island" awaits.
More details about the beautiful beaches:
1. Kapukahehu Beach - Also known as Dixie Maru Beach after a fishing-vessel wrecked here in the 1920s, Kapukahehu Beach is a perfect little cove of sand with great swimming. A family-friendly beach popular with area residents.
2. Kumini Beach - A favorite Moloka'i beach, with a narrow crescent of a golden sand and generally good swimming and snorkeling in its offshore shallows. Located at mile marker 20 east. Keep an eye out for whales in winter.
3. Mo'omomi Dunes - Management by The Nature Conservancy, Mo'omono includes coastal dunes - some used in ancient burials - as will as native and endangered plants. Call for monthly guided hikes.
4. Pala'au State Park - Perched on the bluffs overlooking the historic overlooking the historic village of Kalaupapa, Pala'au offers magnificent views of some of the world's tallest sea cliffs. In winter, watch for humpback whales in the channel.
5. Papohaku Beach - One of Hawai'i's largest and most impressive beaches, with wide, white sand stretching for miles along deep-blue water. Hazardous for swimming, but you can often enjoy the beach all to yourself! This west-facing beach is the ultimate Moloka'i destination for a romantic picnic at sunset.

Very nice.good communication with owners

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.

Great views from your lanai
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.

Recovery
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.

Beautiful location
Molokai is a great island and this property has an amazing location. The place is run down and was quite dirty, but we worked with the property manager to come up with an agreement to make things right and he was very friendly and accommodating. I would think they'll do a deep clean of the place before the next customers come in, based on our conversations. The location is truly unbeatable. The lanai is really nice too!

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.

Absolutely magical setting
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.

Killer - Killer - Killer!!!! We rented the place to come up and watch our son paddle the Molokai Channel. Our family has a lot of ties to Molokai and it is a place we go often and have since we were kids. Molokai for us is a place to put the brakes on our busy lives on Oahu.This place was perfect for us - everything we needed was in the place and the location was excellent. Had a blast on the beach - shell diving, collecting salt, and the next day had perfect surf. Plus, the view is perfect and sunsets are as good as they can get!We are already planning on renting it again for next year. Thank you for renting it to us.Aloha

great location, condo dated
both smoke alarms pulled off the wall. one woke me up at 2 am. It was in a drawer by the bed. toilet room light did not work. appliances and furniture are dated. location of the unit is great. you have to know that this island is much different from the other Hawaiian islands. Not much night life here on purpose. It provides a great relaxing atmosphere.

PERFECT vacation in this wonderful cottage
This was our fifth trip to our favorite island, Molokai, but our first stay in this cottage. It was AMAZING!! Our family has stayed in a few of the other cottages on the property but this one is now our favorite. The location and amenities are far superior than the others we've stayed in. :) We can't wait to come back and stay here again! Ideally located, this cottage has an amazing panoramic view of the ocean and wild beauty of Molokai. The washer/dryer in unit was very nice and the expansive lawn off the lanai was perfect for the kids to run around on while the adults relaxed. The unit was clean, well-stocked, and maintained nicely. There was also a nice Hawaiiana Library that the owner has assembled to enjoy while staying there, I loved it! The owner is kind and helpful. It was nice to unplug for awhile: There is no wi-fi in the unit (although there is free wi-fi nearby) and the cell reception was spotty at best. I highly recommend this cottage to anyone wanting a nice relaxing vacation in a peaceful and tranquil place. Mahalo for sharing your wonderful slice of paradise!

Misled
The photos are not an accurate representation of the property as it currently exists. The "resort" is half abandoned, with an overgrown golf course, many vacant buildings with boarded up windows and a crumbling, graffiti covered beach house whose steps to the beach have been washed away. We were stunned. The rental unit itself was a disappointment, with stained carpeting and drapes, broken screen doors, rusty kitchen appliances and an old shower. Fortunately, the ocean views were excellent, and the beauty of Molokai could be found elsewhere. As experienced world travelers, we know how to make the best of difficult circumstances, but we can not recommend this property as it is advertised.

paradise lost?
You do need to be prepared. The condo is located on a resort property that has basically been abandoned. The grounds and pool (nice pool) are still maintained and once you get over the initial shock of the many rotting buildings, I would stay in the community again. The closest eatery is 20 miles away. That being said, this part of the island is absolutely stunning.
I understood going into it from the photos that the condo was dated. But the condo itself is really quite worn and fairly dingy (stained carpet, threadbare linens, stained curtains, screen door could not be inserted in the track). A very high plus is that it has a fabulous, large lanai and fortunately that's where we spent much time enjoying the gorgeous view.

Cottage 1a Beachfront Rental- Molokai,Hawaii
We have gone back to this same cottage year after year! The views are so beautiful and the sunsets are so gorgeous and the sound of the surf lulls us to sleep each night . Several times the whales came to play so close that binoculars were not needed! If you are looking for a peaceful,restful, totally beautiful vacation, don't overlook this cottage on the beach on Molokai !!

Hawaiian Paradise
Amazing location - this has to be the best location on the island. An absolutely beautiful place for watching the sunset. A great location to allow you to see all the island has to offer (don't miss the bakery or Molokai cookhouse). Amazing snorkeling and ocean opportunities right outside the door!!

Paradise!!!
What a great place to find peace and tranquility. We’ve been twice and hope to go again soon. My favorite time of the day was when my wife and I would take the 20 steps to the beach, share a Corona and watch the sunset. I highly recommend it!!!

Private, comfortable, feels like home...not a hotel!
I love the pool, the walks on the old golf course, sitting on the lanai....this is a gorgeous property with an incredible ocean view! We'll go back many times!
