Our condo is owned by one family, the Fleenors of South Louisiana. We treasure the wonderful family time we spend on Molokai and are hopeful that your time on Molokai will be as joyful and satisfying as ours is. Hopefully we have left some the wonderful family karma that we have been fortunate to experience on Molokai, behind for you and yours.
We work hard to provide a clean, comfortable, well maintained property that you will truly enjoy. We appreciate your comments and suggestions and the great stories and information our guests leave in our guest book.
Rather than tell you about us I would rather tell you about Molokai.
Despite the fact that it has the largest white sand beach in the state of Hawaii, Molokai is almost completely undeveloped. Unlike Maui, Hawaii condos are very scarce on Molokai. Most of the Molokai condos are on the west end of the island where the majority of tourist development has occurred. Using the word much and development next to each other when you are talking about Molokai it never called for. There are only three condominium developments and no hotels on the West end of Molokai.
The Molokai Ranch hotel closed abruptly on April 5, 2008 with only 9 days notice. The Ranch was in a dispute with many local residents over their ability to develop La'au point, an area that historical and religious significance to the Hawaiian people. Unfortunately the Ranch owned and operated the golf course at Ke Nani Kai and the golf course is now closed. There is no word at this time on when the golf course will reopen.
The closing of the ranch and the golf course are in some ways an improvement in one of the most valuable attractions of Molokai. The people who go to Molokai are discerning travelers who have learned about the beautiful un-crowded and un-spoiled beaches. They have met and shared music and food with the wonderful local people. They have learned to slow down and embrace the spirit of Aloha and to enjoy the lack of hustle and bustle. Now it is even more likely that you will have unimaginably good beaches like Kawakiunui Beach completely to yourself for the entire day. We have never had crowds and now we have this magical world even more to ourselves.
The three condominium developments (Ke Nani Kai, Paniolo Hale, and the Kaluakoi Resort Colony) are all on the golf course (which is now closed) and adjacent to the beach. These three properties have a total of a little over 200 Condos. All are privately owned and are part of the Kaluakoi Resort which has the Kaluakoi Golf Course as well as Papohaku Beach (the longest and most unoccupied white sand beach in Hawaii) and Kepuhi Beach. Many of the owners of these condos never rent their units. Even during the high season (December - April) when Hawaii condos are almost all booked, the Kaluakoi Resort is a very quite, peaceful, laid back kind of place.
About 15 of the west end condominium owners are retired people and are full time residents. About another 50 Molokai condos are owned by snowbirds that spend the winter months relaxing in the warm tropical breezes of Hawaii. Most of the other owners visit from time-to-time, but do not rent. This leaves very few Condos available for tourists. Although Molokai has more than its fair share of tropical wonders (beaches, waterfalls, etc.), the peace, tranquility, and lack of tourists is one of the island's most outstanding attractions.
Father Damien of Molokai (now Saint Damien)
Father Damien is known for his ministering of people with what was then widely known as leprosy, who had been placed under a government-sanctioned medical quarantine, on the island of Molokai in the Kingdom of Hawaii. He eventually contracted the disease himself, and is widely considered a 'martyr of charity'. In the Roman Catholic and Anglican traditions, as well as other denominations of Christianity, Damien is considered the spiritual patron for Hansen's Disease, HIV and AIDS patients as well as outcasts.
As the patron saint of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Honolulu and of Hawaii, Father Damien Day is celebrated statewide on April 15. Upon his beatification by Pope John Paul II in Rome on June 4, 1995, Blessed Damien was granted a memorial feast day, which is celebrated on May 10. You can still visit Kalaupapa (where Saint Damine lived and worked) and ride one of the sure-footed mules (or walk) down the spectacular Kalaupapa sea cliff trail.

Mahalo for sharing your wonderful condo with us! The telephone and the internet, in addition to the water toys were certainly put to good use! Our children loved the frequent visits from the turkeys and deer to our lanai! They would show up everyday! We throughlly enjoyed all of the restraurants and beach spots that you recommended. That was quite helpful in planning our activities! This was our first visit, but it will not be our last! Mahalo for a memorable vacation!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

This wa a very peaceful relaxing location we are hoping after our daughters graduation! Normally we go to Kanai, but decided that it is getting too crowded there. We were supprised at the laid back attitude of the island folks and were able to relax our way right into it. Most of all we enjoyed the lovely condo, everything that you need and beautifully decorated. It is the perfect location for resting! mahalo!Did you find this review helpful?

Thank you so much for the use of your amazing condo! I'm pretty sure we utilized every aspect from the pool to the computer to the syrup in the frig. We really felt right at home It was so nice to see the set for the last scene of Pirates of the Carribean and we truly enjoyed Coffees of Hawaii. The kayak trip thur the Fish and Dive Shop was awesome and the Friday nigth music at Hotel Molokai is highly recommended. Thanks so much-you have thought of everything to make your guests feel right at home. It was a great way to start our marriage.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Kawakiunui Beach (the secret beach) View on map
One of the most beautiful beaches you will every find. About a 25 minute walk along the coast or down a dirt road. During the week the beach has very few visitors. During the weekend lots of locals show up. Just north of this beach is a small bay that has some of the best snorkeling in Hawaii.
