It was wonderful. The location of corse is by far beautiful
1.0 / 5.0
After an 8 year hiatus, we returned to Molokai to visit friends. While we can sympathize with owners and their headaches of owning a property battered by wind and salt spray, (we owned two neighboring condos and have rented other units in this area) we were shocked to find this unit in such disrepair and dismayed that we had not taken the reviews more seriously. First of all, the condo had not been cleaned from the previous renters when we arrived at check-in which set the tone for our two week stay. You want to believe that the housekeeper actually spends more than just an hour or two cleaning up after the last occupants, but clearly she does not because we had to wait until she did. (We were reimbursed $100 for our inconvenience.) There are dusty cases of bamboo flooring under the bed (per Dana's 2015 comment when it was installed); 12yo magazines; a non-functioning smoke detector; used stuff in the medicine cabinet & frig; and a useless, outdated information book. And can we discuss those infamous lanai doors that have needed repair since 2018? (per Stuart's comment) Or the broken louvre handles, the chipped paint... We expect a high degree of hospitality when we travel such as good quality kitchen equipment, up-to-date entertainment systems and plenty of good linens, not to mention a clean and well maintained unit. And to call someone every time something breaks just isn't our style. Unfortunately we will not rent this unit again, even though it has a good view.

As others have said, this may not be the place for everyone. It is not fancy and there are some things which could stand repair, but it was well equipped and comfortable. We visited in February so I cannot comment on how hot it could be in summer but it is well ventilated. The loft area is a bit tight, so we kept our luggage downstairs. The bed was comfortable. The view is beautiful, was perfect for me working remotely. We loved the lack of crowds, seeing only a handful of people on both the beach in front and three mile beach just down the road. I will say the documentation provided both through VRBO and the binder on site could stand updating - some of the travel/sightseeing information is outdated and there were three different sets of instructions for connecting to wifi, it was a struggle to find the current info. However Dana was prompt in getting back to me when I messaged her for the current wifi password. Thank you, we enjoyed our stay :)

We really enjoyed staying at Dana’s place on Molokai! The views from the condo were amazing and the sound of the ocean at night led to excellent sleeps. The pool is close by as is the beach. It is a quiet complex great for a low key get away, far from the crowds of Maui and the other more developed islands. We will be back!

The view makes the place. The building had not been cleaned properly in some time. The sliding door failed during the week leading to mosquitoes that attacked my wife with a vengeance. Fortunately they didn’t like me. Fix the door and clean up the place and you’ve got yourself a true gem!

The reality of this place is it's a gem, but in a state of disrepair. Nothing can compare to the spectacular view of ocean waves breaking on volcanic beach just 50 yards away, and the sound of it pounding in the night. Incredible. But the place is weathering away--so much is rusting, the screens have holes, window louvers don't open anymore, and a film of red dust is pervasive, blown by wind and weather. If you can deal with OK clean, unusable worn Teflon pans, a sink that drips, a rusting electrical panel, and the feeling of accumulated salt spray on everything, it's just fine.
5.0 / 5.0
A nice property although out of the way. As the description says, it is on a resort that used to be a golf course. Room itself is very nice, close enough to the beach that you could hear the waves from bed.

Great sea view and sunsets right on the beach.
Overall very nice if you are looking for a peaceful beach experience without the crowds. Very comfortable accommodations except no A/C. It was a bit warm some afternoons but nice breeze kept it cool enough. I would definitely rent it again.

Rich and Dana's beach condo
Nice beachfront condo - great deck for whalewatching, etc. Quiet neighbors. All the amenities. The landline phone was beeping so we unplugged it. The Wifi password didn't work for us, so I tried texting the owners but got no help. Another issue was finding the condo. We arrived after dark with no map of the condo resort area, and no building number. Luckily we were able to contact the housekeeper and a neighbor who helped us find the condo. In retrospect these were minor issues in comparison to the unforgettable beach scene, the sounds of surf, the birdsong and butterfiies, and miles of beautiful beaches to explore.

Island paradise
Great location. Second time staying here in this area. This condo has a better location and overall better condition. Could still use a little maintenance, i.e. fix screens, upstairs TV does not appear to work, and there is a hodgepodge of kitchen utensils but they are adequate, nothing for baking. Condo association rules appear to need updating as it is evident that pets are allowed as we saw several dogs, and some smoking outside. But overall a great place to stay.

Room with a view
The highlight of this unit is definitely the view over Hepuhi beach!
Overall the space was comfortable for the 2 of us staying, my friend on the sofa bed and me in the loft.
The doors to the lanai were difficult to move from being weathered. The heavy screen door fell off the track and the glass doors we couldn’t really close easily.
The burners on the stove top are quite crooked and need some adjustment.
Overall it is a comfortable space with a wonderful view! Thank you for sharing it!

Wonderful Molokai condo
If you imagine the ideal condo on Kepuhi beach, this is it! Nothing between you and the water. Pool and store close by. Condo has everything you need. Easy check-in and gracious hosts. We will be back.

Great getaway!
Location is perfect! Beautiful view. Wifi worked perfectly. Bed was comfy. It was hot during our stay, very muggy. Very. Not the owner’s fault of course! But, there was a floor fan that we’d lug downstairs then upstairs for sleeping. Two would be nice. But no complaints ! We’d stay again !

Beautiful view front row Kepuhi
I loved my stay. The view was perfect, condo comfortable, clean, and well supplied with all the comforts of home. The cross breeze was great for keeping cool, the pool and grounds gorgeous, and surrounding beaches and hikes were very stunning. Enjoyed having more time on the west end, as I usually stay near Kaunakakai. Thank you for such a great stay.

Relaxing piece of laid back paradise
We had a fantastic time at Rich and Dana's condo. Molokai, and probably this condo, isn't right for everyone, but it was perfect for us. This was our 6th trip to Hawaii in the last 20 years. We've been to Oahu, Kauai twice, Maui, and the Big Island. We've stayed in condos, guest houses, bungalows and hotels. This one was probably the most dated and had the most maintenance issues...but it was also our favorite.
Location: You can't beat this. Right on the ocean, sound of the waves all night, very quiet, laid back area. Yep, there's a boarded up old pro shop right in front of the Lanai. Doesn't block your view though, and it's not ugly. The abandoned golf course has wonderful hiking/running trails. We don't play golf, so that was perfect. There are some boarded up empty buildings on the property, but the grounds of the occupied condos are immaculately maintained.
You have a perfect view of the sunset, but it is tough to choose between that or watching the whales. We saw whales from the Lanai more times than we could possibly count. I'll bring a spotting scope next time.
Condo: It was probably built in the late 70s/early 80s, so it's not new, and there are some minor things, but it was extremely clean and there were absolutely no bugs. The wifi worked great, use the password on the fridge. I don't know if the TVs work, we never turned them on. Had full 4G LTE AT&T coverage anyways, enough to check email and make all my Facebook friends jealous with photos. One reviewer mentioned the rusty sub-panel. I'm not an electrician but I do all my own electrical work on the farm. It's just a cover plate, and it appears to function just fine. If it was an issue the power would just shut off, not start a fire.
The infamous patio door: It would take a finish carpenter to make this repair, but I found a solution. When you arrive get a six pack of Kona Long Board Lager. When you get to the condo, open one, but keep the bottle cap. Walk out on the lanai, turn around, close both screen doors. There's a slight gap at the top. Just fold the bottle cap in half, use it to prop up the right corner of the right door, which doesn't slide easily. Turn around, sit down, drink your delicious Long Board Lager, and enjoy the view. Just use the other door for the rest of your trip. If it still bothers you, have another. If you drink all six and it still bothers you probably picked the wrong island for your vacation.

Lots of room for a lofted condo. Nice washer and dryer and dishwasher! We will be back.

The experience was just what we were looking for.
We loved the island and our place with a view.
Thank you Julie for all your help with trouble shooting the wifi. She goes above and beyond besides cleaning the place. If you want a swim up bar in the pool this place is not for you. We love the laid back feeling.

Studio Molokai
The view from the Lanai is stunning. The accommodations are B+. Amazing group of people seem to stay or live in this resort area. Especially enjoyed our Canadian friends nightly trumpet homage to the sunset, which are spectacular on the island. Some of the neighboring buildings are boarded up due to developer issues and gives an abandoned feel. While the golf course has not been cared for in years, it can provide a nice running / walking trail. Came for a working vacation and owner does need to fix the wi fi problem. If you want R&R, then this island is the spot. Beautiful beaches with no one to bother you for miles (at least in Jan).

Drift off to sleep to the Hawaiian surf!
My wife and I recently spent 4 nights at the above property on Molokai. Most visitors to Hawaii never visit Molokai, which is a shame. Molokai is like Hawaii frozen in the 1950s, with very rare rentals relative to the other islands, and many pristine beaches with NO ONE else on them but you! It is a very special place if you enjoy privacy and being away from the thronging crowd.
That said, however, a couple points should be made to future renters. First, DO NOT expect the kind of active and bustling complex you may be used to elsewhere! The property is largely vacant and for sale, although that only adds to the appeal to the condo owners who remain! The other owners were VERY friendly, bringing some food over as soon as they learned we just arrived and had nothing to eat yet. The remaining owners are a very collegial lot and clearly enjoy their rather unusual (for Hawaii) situation. The original restaurant and many other buildings from the heyday of the property in the 1970s remain shuttered and empty, with overgrown abandoned golf course. That course, no longer fit for golf, though, makes an EXCELLENT walking and jogging track for the residents. The condo where we stayed showed some signs of aging with, a sticking and difficult to slide, sliding patio door.
So, if you cherish privacy in Hawaii, and don't mind a few condition issues or property quirks, this can be a real find for you!

Outstanding location, very quiet
We stayed in the condo for three weeks in December.
The good:
The unit is small, really a studio with a loft, but was comfortable for 3 adults. It is right on the beach with a gorgeous view of the beach and ocean with Oahu occasionally visible on the horizon. The majority of the well-maintained resort grounds and other units are mauka and not visible from inside the condo. While we were there, the surf was high and it completely drowned out any sounds of neighbors or cars. The unit was very clean and while there is no air conditioning the condo has very good ventilation (as long as the wind blows) with Jalousie windows along the back and screened sliders to the lanai on the front.
The not so good:
Some maintenance would make the condo more attractive. There were holes in some screens, wood rot beside the bathroom window, peeling paint on the lanai sliders and one slider frequently came off its track. It is the sub-tropics and there are biting bugs. Other than a very small store on the grounds, the nearest grocery shopping and restaurants are a half hour drive away. Cell service on the island is very spotty.
The bad:
We had notified the owner prior to arrival that we needed a phone and internet service in order to conduct mainland business. She assured us that while the island internet was not always up to mainland standards it was operable. When we arrived there was no internet, no phone and no TV. We notified the property manager Julie, who advised us to contact the owner directly. Although the owner was very defensive, she did respond and full services were available by the end of the second day. Julie was very responsive to a couple of other minor issues and should be a renters’ first contact for any problems.

Nice view but the condo is in major need of an upgrade and bug infested.
The area is very pretty. Property complex seems rundown.
View from the deck is very nice. Deck furniture and carpet are old and need replacing. Interior of condo is VERY dated and needs a major renovation! Furniture covering are old and dirty with some growing black mold. The place was overrun with bugs which made it very difficult to sleep.
I would never stay here again.

Awesome Kaluakoi Condo in a Stunning Location
3 of us stayed in Dana’s Kaluakoi condo for 3 nights in Sept 2018. The condo is spacious, clean, functional with sensational ocean views. We loved our stay & we would definitely recommend Dana’s condo.

Beautiful location right on the beach! Gorgeous Sunsets!!
Very nice 1 bedroom condo, with queen sofa bed. My husband & I went swimming right in front of the condo almost every day. It was like having our own private beach, with only a couple other people swimming or walking the beach. The beach does drop off quickly so I wouldn’t recommend it for small children. The wind kept the condo comfortable, as it was blowing from the East/Northeast during our stay. The loft bedroom was a little warm for me, so we used the sofa bed. We enjoyed exploring the island & meeting the friendly people of Moloka’i. Special Thanks to Capt Tim at Moloka’i Fish & Dive for a Terrific snorkeling trip!

First time to Molokai
We had a wonderful stay and enjoyed the beach at Rich and Dana's condo. We were surprised there was no restaurant or much of anything else other than a small store on the property, but it was no big deal. The views were great and we did some exploring on the island. Everyone we met was friendly and it seemed like what Kauai, where we live, was probably like 40 years ago. If we do get back to Molokai, we'd book the Maunaloa condo again!

Great unit close to ocean
We enjoyed hearing the crashing waves all night long. The unit is very comfortable for two people. It is a bit of a drive to get to the main town where all the stores and restaurants are so be prepared to stock up before you get to the condo

Wonderful unit, but the grounds and facilities are in Sad shape.
The unit was nicer than the photos in the listing represent. Very well equipped unit with an amazing amount of room for what was originally a studio unit. The bed upstairs was a nice surprise, we have had some real back killers in other units at KBR. We love Molokai, it will always be a very spiritual place for us.

Needs a bit more TLC. Tired but being improved
Great location. Fantastic view! Place has had obvious upgrades but could use a bit more TLC. Overall clean and comfortable. Had sent an email to owner about how we found the place when we arrived. Shared some things that need attention. Was surprised by their response. Would not be sharing here if I was treated with a little more respect - why would I lie. Place apparently has the "best housekeeper" on the island. Will give her the benefit of the doubt .... either was having a bad day or had someone else clean for her/him this time. Thought the owner would like to know about the torn screens but apparently was not interested and basically called me a liar in an email. Too bad because I shared with them in an email so that I did not have to share in this review but ... treat me poorly and get what you deserve I guess. Dirty dishes in the cabinets, food stuck on/under multiple cabinet/fridge handles. Dirty beach towel on the lanai, dirty dish towel on the couch under clean sheets. Crackers in the couch.
Should not be called a one bedroom, more like a studio with a loft but comfortable for 2 if you do not need privacy. Several of the light bulbs were out. Found one in a drawer though.
Hate to leave a negative review as if not for a couple of small things listed that I shared privately with the owners but their response was so scathing. One should not state that they want to be notified of any issues if one does not want to hear it.
I use VRBO all the time and most owners like to know what is going on with their places. But not all even though they say they do.
Would have given 4 stars but ......... and again, not a 1 bedroom. studio with a loft.

Spent Christmas week with my 3 teenaged boys. Both the property and the island of Molokai were exactly what I was looking for. Quiet, peaceful, non-touristy, amazing beaches, tasty waves. The condo was great. Front row with unobstructed views of the ocean. Two of my boys slept upstairs in the large bed, the other slept downstairs on the pull-out. I slept out on the lanai and we all fell asleep to the sound of breaking waves. Woke up to local coffee and gorgeous sunrises and always the sound of breaking waves. There is world class surf on Molokai but I'm not saying where ;). Nice 10-12 wave sets. If you surf, give respect and you will get respect. If you don't surf, choose your beach wisely. Shorebreak can be dangerous but there are beaches that are flat and suitable for even small children. Finding them is half the fun. Shopping is about 30 minutes away driving but there is a small shop in the condo complex if you need something basic (groceries). Heard some people commenting on high prices but we're from Alaska so no sticker shock for us. All in all, we had a wonderful stay and I'm already thinking about booking again for next Kalikimaka. Mahalo!

This rental has great ocean views. Nice trails for walking. Great beaches. The minus is that this entire property is pretty run down. Several condo buildings are boarded up and in very poor condition with Keep Out signs on them. I think the cleaning fee is steep considering I had to wash the floors as our feet ended up filthy. If I could attach a photo of the rag I used, I would, eek. Dishes and blender, toaster were dirty. Foul smell coming from the garbage disposal. Only one roll of toilet paper. Just being an honest reviewer. I’m sure at some point in the past these condos had the “Malibu Row” feel. Not so much now. This might not bother someone else. Based on what I read, I expected a bit more.
