. . . . . . . . Just a few of the comments from our happy guests.

THE MOTHER OCEAN or Ke Moana Makuahine (in Hawaiian language) (tm) is a 5-STAR, private celebrity-style grand estate on the Island of Molokai of 2-acres of lawn-covered, palm tree-laden park grounds with private sandy beach and magnificent views from its shoreline of Lanai and ocean beyond, comprised of a modern (main building built in 2003) plantation style estate that is "Old Hawaii" comfort at its best. The Mother Ocean was constructed to resemble a Hawaiian royal summer home. For those familiar, The Mother Ocean resembles the historical Allerton Estate home near Poipu Beach on the Island of Kauai. The Mother Ocean is for the exclusive use of the renting party, and is supervised by a pleasant and helpful professional caretaker who resides in a separate residence on the estate.

Located along the highway within a convenient 4.5 mile distance east of Kaunakakai on the beach in Kawela, this beautiful, secure and secluded beachfront estate is spacious and fully furnished with all of the modern comforts and amenities, such as a stone-rimmed swimming pool with adjustable "lap pool" jetstream and tropical waterfall, central air conditioning, satellite HD plasma screen televisions with Tivo recorder and DVD home theater sound system, Lenovo desktop computer, printer, and high speed broadband computer Internet access for guest use, gourmet kitchen, and premium quality traditional Hawaiian plantation home-style furnishings.

Truly unique features of The Mother Ocean (tm) include thrilling views of breaching humpback whales all day long in the Kalohi Channel between Lanai and Molokai Islands during the winter months (Dec-Apr) which can be seen in plain view from our lanai porch or from our beach chairs. And then for diving and snorkeling enthusiasts, Hawaii's longest fringing coral reef (30 mi. long) and all of the sea life living in and surrounding the reef, including Hawaiian green sea turtles, lies just 1/8 mi. from our beach.

• View/Location
  • Beachfront: "The Best Little Beach on Molokai" . . . The Mother Ocean (tm) has its own 270 feet of safe, sandy beach in its back yard. The lawns ends where the sand begins, and the sand ends where the Pacific Ocean begins -- no hikes to the beach here -- it's a private beach and all contained on the property. We've had disbelieving inquiries about the sandy beach (people must think it just can't be true); but we assure you it is ALL TRUE. Almost a football field length of sandy beach -- safe and nasty rip-tide free -- for playing, swimming, wading, sand castle building, sunbathing, and sitting in our beach chairs watching the whales or the sunsets -- a major difference between The Mother Ocean (tm) and most other vacation residences in the world.
