Laid back Molokai beach-hideaway

One of the few Paniolo Hale units within steps to the beach! 2 Bedroom, 2 Bathroom, & Wrap Around Lanai with Ocean Views

Our spacious, ocean-view townhouse is only steps from Kepuhi Beach. This 2000 sq ft townhouse feels more like a beach home with its generous living space, 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, single-bed/couch in living room, and wrap-around lanai. Our townhouse is a lovely space for two people who just want a little extra room, yet also large enough to accommodate up to 5 people with ample room to relax. Beautiful French doors open the entire downstairs up to a 500 sq. ft. screened lanai - the ultimate space for dining or just basking in the breeze and enjoying the spectacular views of Kaiaka Rock. This Paniolo Hale townhouse makes optimal use of the panoramic lanai views with an open-air floor plan. Our hale has a fully equipped kitchen including a dishwasher, refrigerator, ice-maker, filtered drinking water, oven, stove, microwave, coffee maker, blender, etc. Our townhouse is also equipped with a full-size washer and dryer for your convenience.

Wake up every morning on a comfortable king-size bed to the gentle sea breeze through the open French doors. Breathe in the fresh ocean air and listen as Mother Nature pounds her waves onto the Kepuhi Beach. The downstairs bedroom has a King size bed and an adjoining full bathroom making for a convenient and comfortable stay. You’ll also find a comfortable Queen size bed upstairs plus a single bed, with amazing ocean and garden views. A full-size bathroom is also located directly adjacent to the upstairs bedroom. Our charming townhouse is nicely furnished with a dining table, living room seating area, and an extra pune'e (single bed/couch) in the living room.

Paniolo Hale offers a beautiful pool & BBQ area for your enjoyment. Take a short walk North to Make Horse Beach, or venture only minutes south to Papohaku Beach, the longest white sand beach in Hawaii, 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. Literally, step back in time 50 years. You will not find traffic lights, elevators, malls, glitz, or nightlife here. If you're looking for a rural place for relaxation, snorkeling, beautiful ocean views, quiet beaches, and old Hawaii, you'll find it at our condo. Some say 'Only on Molokai', we say 'Always on Molokai’. Come visit and find out why.

JUST WHAT WE NEEDED… not long enough!
We are 2 couples. Life-Long best friends. We live in beautiful, shovel & blow white snow country so to get away together and RELAX lulled to sleep by the surf was a total needed blessing! The screened porch made for the very best place for morning coffee and meals. (We chose not to eat inside.) comfy beds, lots of towels, great supply of everything in the kitchen. Extra spices above expectations. Cinnamon in my coffee was delightful. The wagon & sm ice chests to carry all to the beaches all week was a true blessing as well. The landscaping is well cared for and tropically lush. Whomever designed this resort did a wonderful job! Our unit and all are spaced for privacy and laid back enjoyment. Everything about our stay here was “Just what the Dr. ordered.) Rest, relaxation, beauty, comfort. Best place on the island!

The whole process was easy. Everything was great, the updated kitchen was perfect. I really appreciated the fragrance free laundry detergent and eco friendly soaps provided. the beds were comfortable, the view is awesome, and there is nothing like going to sleep listening to the ocean. I look forward to staying in your beautiful Hale again in the near future.

Aloha slow down it’s Molokai
Hale was beautiful and spacious, covered lanai with many places to sit or hang out expended living room and bedroom. Hale had everything we could think of and much more. Beautiful landscaping surrounded the whole complex and it was so close to the beach. Tracy and Nalani were super hosts, they responded quickly and were very accommodating. Nice appliances, fridge with filtered water and ice was very appreciated. We enjoyed our stay and would love to come back! Thank you for sharing your hale with us. Mahalo nui loa

Lovely peaceful location
The hale (house) was beautiful and well-equipped with a lovely lanai (veranda). It was a short walk to two beautiful beaches. The kitchen had everything and more that you could need, and there were great “extras” in the closets - beach chairs, umbrella, snorkel equipment. The stay was peaceful and restful. The hosts replied quickly to any concerns that we had. I would highly recommend this property!

Molokai Magic
Everything we could imagine was provided in the house. The screen-in covered porch on two sides opened to inside with floor to ceiling bifold doors. The porch offered a choice of chairs or hammock and was a great place to relax with sound of surf or even gentle rain. We ate all our meals on the porch.

A Hawaiian Oasis
We felt very fortunate to have found this beautiful place to stay on the island of Molokai! Tracy and Nalani were excellent hosts, and their bright and airy 'Hale' is incredibly well equipped, and situated in lush surroundings, with the sounds of the ocean and many tropical birds a constant in the background. Molokai is very laid back, and not a typical Hawaiian tourist destination, but we loved the slower pace of life and found that we were never bored. A rental car is vital, as distances between services are considerable, but there's plenty to see and do, and we enjoyed exploring. In all, this was a wonderful getaway from Canadian winter, and Paniolo Hale is very highly recommended as an exceptional vrbo property.

Very Comfortable!
This is an oasis on the dry, western coast of Molokai. The condo does not directly face the beach, but it’s only a one-minute walk to some beautiful ocean scenes. It was quiet and relaxing! The lanai or porch is screened-in so the living area is open and airy. There were plenty of kitchen tools and appliances to make your meals perfect. The upstairs bedroom was a bit warmer because not all the windows opened, but there were two ceiling vents and fan. We REALLY enjoyed the spacious, relaxing condo and Tracy has done a great job in making it a perfect vacation setting.

Great location
The condo was near the beach. There were lot of things for the beach: chairs, umbrella, cooler, etc. In the kitchen we had everything to prepare the meals and lot of dinnerware. The first day, it was really hot, too hot, not able to sleep in the upstair room. Should open the condo at least 12 hours before our arrival. No air conditioner so it's hot. But at night, it's not so bad. The blinds upstair really need to be cleaned. Everything was as expected. We appreciated the things in the fridge left by people who rented before us, so we left lot of stock also. Thanks to the owners, we'll surely be back someday.

Very nice stay!
My family of 5 (2 adults, 3 teenagers) had a very good time visiting Molokai and staying at this property. The complex is nicely landscaped and we enjoyed the tropical foliage around the unit. The lanai was beautiful and we spent time relaxing there. A short walk brought us to a beautiful beach and amazing sunsets. We could not always get in the water at the close beach due to strong surf but found plenty of opportunities to swim at other places - other beaches and the complex pool. The kitchen had most everything you need to cook. Chefs may want to bring their own knives. The main town is about 30 minutes away so stock up with groceries and enjoy the solitude of the west side of the island. The unit had a few minor maintenance issues that weren't a big deal - leaky sink, some lizards/bugs, but nothing major. It was a bit hot inside during the day in July, especially upstairs, but cooled off at night. If you've never been to Molokai, I highly recommend a visit but do your homework first since there are few stores and restaurants and operating hours are short. The unit and the island itself were great places to get away and relax - few people, beautiful scenery!
