We had the most relaxing and enjoyable time in this beautiful condo. Cheryl is very accessible to offer suggestions to try to maximize one's time on Molokai. The condo is beautifully decorated, immaculately clean, and has every ammenity and resource one would need. Even though we had purchased two books about Molokai, we downloaded and ran off Cheryl's material and used it as a major resourch throughout our trip. The location of the condo is ideal- last building, upper corner and is very quiet with beautiful unobtructive views. We very much enjoyed sitting on the lanai. We cannot say enough good things about Clayton, their property manager. He met us at our rental car, helped us move our baggage and groceries into the condo, and had a gift basket for us with local goodies as a welcome. What a very kind and warm gesture this was, especially after our one day delay arrival to the island due to airplane equipment problems. Clayton, too, was very accessible, only a phone call away if we needed something. It is so obvious that he loves his job and takes great pride in doing it well. There is no doubt that we will be back to stay in this condo, as it is wonderful! In fact, it is the standard by which we will evaluate future condos in our travels.

Owner response:Tyrrel and Alicia, Thank you so much for all your kind words. We really do aim to please. We love the island of Molokai and are thankful to be sharing with others. Molokai is a unique island and we love it ourselves and want others to be able to share in it's beauty and tranquility. Clayton is a gem and we are more than thankful for all he does for our guests and ourselves. We will be looking forward to your return stay. Thank you again for your appreciatiation. Cheryl/Larry and Clayton

Perfect Condo

Guest: The Lundgrens (Washington)
Date of Stay: 05/20/11 Review Submitted: 06/01/11

We stayed in this wonderfully quiet condo for four nights. It had a great view of the ocean--especially nice sunsets each day. The owners have thought of everything you could need: beach chairs, beach bag, ice chest, spices, etc. The caretaker is wonderful, being very attentive but certainly respecting our privacy. We spent many hours walking on nearby beaches and never ran out of Mother Nature's beauty. We plan to return to this great condo on Molokai.

Owner response:Kelly, Thank you so much for you review. I am so glad you had a great time on the island of Molokai and our accommodations met your expectations. We hope to see you again in the future. I am also glad the mule ride worked out for you with your fear of heights. You are a testimony to others that this is so worth it... thank you, CherylLarry Andresen

This was a wonderful getaway for my 7th wedding anniversary with my husband. We sat on the lanai both nights and watched the sun set over Oahu. The condo was very tastefully done and well maintained. It was so worth the trip! Cheryl was great in and had a very quick response to all my questions. Thanks for a wonderful place to stay on Molokai.

Dear Truckee Neighbors, Larry and Cheryl We are sitting at the table on the lanai and enjoying the beautiful view and gorgeous day. Last night the sunset was an amazing orange coral globe setting into a still sea. Today we are off on the ferry to Maui then back to Kauai before heading home to Truckee. We will surely miss this beautiful spot. You have graciously thought of every convenience to accommodate our stay here. We loved being back to Molokai after 17 years (1991) and it was reassuring to see that things have changed very little. We retraced our steps to Dixie Maru, the lookout and Halawa Valley to name a few. We loved the Farmer's market on Saturday morning and the music at Molokai Ranch last night (Sun) Uncle Aki and Willy (Father& son with beautiful voices) Thank you for 5 wonderful days of nostalgia and Aloha (See you back home in Truckee) Bob and Kathy Crawford

Dear Cheryl & Larry, Mahalo for sharing your condo in paradise! We have been to Kaluokoi Villas many times, but we have enjoyed it here this time the most. You have a beautiful place and you have thought of everything-even beach chairs!!! We loved: Eating our Molokai toast on the balcony every morning as the sun came up. Watching for whales from the pool any meal at the Cookhouse including talking with the locals and listening to Benny sing Mocha Mamas at the coffee plantation Aloha Friday at the Hotel Molokai Moana's halau at the Civic Center Clayton Snorkeling off the rocks just past Murphy Beach Halawa Valley the Pot luck dinner at sunset (Jane invited us) Hamburgers chili and rice at Mana'e Goods and Grinds on the East side of the island Walking on the big beach in the mornings Movies at the cinema on rainy days entertainment at the ranch on Sunday Bule skies , clear water, gentle breezes and flowers But most of all we love the Aloha spirit of everyone we have met. When we come to Molokai it feels like we are coming home! We will be back!! Aloha, Phil & Judy Snyder West Jefferson,OH

Thank you Cheryl and Larry for a comfortable and relaxing stay in paradise! We loved watching sunsets and the incredible surf crashing against the rocks from the lani. We found everything we needed in your cozy condo. We went right away to the farmer's market in Kaunakakai on Saturday and stocked up on veggies and salad. Then to friendly isle market, most places were closed for New Year's Eve and Day. For Must dos whil on Molokai: Mule ride down to Kalaupapa incredible views of sea cliffs. Drive to Halawa Valley- road narrows to single lane right on edge of sea (stop alot) great beaches near mile #20 Sea kayak through narrow channels on south shore and have one of their tasty daily specials. Thrus eve is local entertainment night. Sunday night is local music Hula at Moloka Ranch in Maunaloa. Our favorite beaches for hanging out is a 5 minute walk to the other side of hole #10 and Dixie Maru at the end of the road past Papohaku Beach. If you enjoy the power of the crashing surf, hike up the trail in front of the lani and scamble over the lava out to the rocky point.and wait for a big set! Mark and Brenda

Dear Cheryl and Larry Thank you for the opportunity to experience "Aloha" on Molokai. The condo has all to feel at home in our case far away from home. We loved to watch the sunsets;stroll along the empty beaches and the quiet surroundings. We had really nice days here on Molokai and hope to come back sometime. Mahalo, Nicole and Ralf

Dear Cheryl & Larry, Thank you for allowing us to use yoru condo. It was great, had everything we needed and felt very homey. The lanai was our favorite spot where we spent hours just relaxing and watching the ocean. The sunsets were spectacular both from the lania and the beach, each different and jsut as breathtaking. Molokai lured us with it's promise of peace and seclusion and didn't fail to deliver from the first day we noticed how quiet and peaceful this island is. The careless highway to the condo was just a taste of things to come. Papohaku beach is a great place for sunset walks and truly feels as though it is your beach with no one in sight. Dixie Maru is the beach for swimming with calm waters and on our trek to Kaunala Bay we crossed paths with a small hear of deer. "The Rodeo at Molokai Ranch was great and the view from Manoloa was nice. Kaunakakai is the place to get groceries with a nice bakery and good places to eat. The Cookhouse is a must, so is the Mocha Mama at the coffe plantation. To get a great view of Kalaupapa take the tour or lookout close to Pallic Rock if you don't want to make the trek. The beaches at mile 20 are very calm with good snorkeling spots. The drive to Halawa Valley is an experience on it's own, but the views and Halawa Valley are worth it. If you crave a more busier place, take the ferry to Lahaina in Maui for the day shopping is great with lots of things to do. We had a great time in Molokai, a truly unique experience that we will hopefully get to experience again. Thanks!!! Mohamed & Zahira Omar Chicago, IL

Cheryl and Larry, Thank you again for your generous hospitality with both 2231 and 2242. Talk about beauty and peaceful settings. Just what the doctor ordered! The only thing that would have made it any better would have been your joining us and the lack of the cast on my leg. Next it's our turn to host you in our little slice of paradise at the end of the road in Amreica's little swiss Alps! Phil and Kath Calwell Enterprise, OR

Dear Cheryl and Larry, Thanks for the use of your cozy hideaway. You've put it in a very nice shape and you've equipped it well. We encountered some rare stormy weather which had us spending our first Molokai night in Honolulu because the Moloakai airport was weathered in. In spite of the rainy weather, we had an enjoyable stay. Molokai is certainly unique amont it's Hawaiian neighbors. We were here 33 years ago and it hardly seems to have changed. It's like a trip back in time. May it preserve it's unique haven. It's a refreshing change. Mahalo, Bob and Carol

Cheryl and Larry, Molokai was exactly what we needed. Peace & relaxation! We enjoyed everything Molokai has to offer. We tryed biking;hiked to Halawa Falls; the "mule trip" down the Kalaupapa trail all 26 switchbaks is worth the trip.... Papahaku Beach is amazing beach and we went for a wlak on it most mornings Great meals at the "Cookhouse" went back 3 times. The view from the Lani is amazing. Whales were active every day which was wonderful. The condo was very comfortable the extras were great. Beach towels, beach chairs beach bag, Hoe to be back one day.
