We came to Hawaii (Oahu) from New England with the Navy back in 1989 and fell in love with the people, the island, and the climate. We were blessed to return to Oahu again in 2009, but the increasing traffic made it less enjoyable & took a toll on us. In May of 2015, we made our first visit to Molokai & immediately fell in love with the island and the people. It's like "country" in the tropics. Imagine Hawaii of the past, unspoiled country and untouched beaches, no traffic & no stoplights! It reminded us a bit of the Oahu we knew 25 years ago, but even less developed. We retired from the Air Force this year (2016) and moved to Molokai full time, enabling us to focus on managing and maintaining our vacation rentals. If you like lights, noise, chain stores & restaurants, construction and need constant entertainment, then Molokai may not be for you. But if you love the ocean, are looking for peace, tranquility, beauty and want to see the Hawaii of yesterday, you may never want to leave.

Molokai is an amazing place. Unless you have actually been here, it is hard to explain. It is surreal to be the only one on a beautiful pristine beach in Hawaii or to come to a stop while driving, only because you want to, or because you've arrived at your destination. There are only 2 gas stations, 2 grocery stores, and a few restaurants in town. You can buy organic produce & eggs fresh from Kumu Farms (open Tues-Fri) and your grass-fed meat fresh from Moloka'i Livestock Cooperative (M-F 7:30 am - 3:00 pm). We have kayaks, bikes, a SUP, snorkel and fishing gear along with beach chairs and towels and we serve a continental breakfast daily. We have tried to provide everything that you need to enjoy your stay and strive to continuously improve.

Kahakai Hale is not just another vacation rental, it is a passion of ours. Since we retired from the Air Force in 2016 and moved to Molokai, we get to focus all of our attention on our vacation rentals (Kahakai Hale - 1044414 & Hale Kamaluhia - 740667) and ensuring our guest have the best time that we can provide (within our control). We are one of the few owners who actually live here and are in our unit after every guest to make sure everything is clean (we strive for Disney clean) and in good working order. We are available to answer any question you may have about Molokai, our units, current weather conditions, best places to go, how to get here (best inter island airlines)... We want our guests to feel like they are coming home so we have tried to provide everything you could need (except food & clothes) and are always trying to improve and welcome suggestions. Our units and Molokai offer the chance to get away from it all. Enjoy the view of Lanai from the private lanai, walk along the beautiful pristine beaches (usually alone), drive on roads where there are very few other travelers, listen to what nature sounds like when there are no man made noises to clutter it up. Fall asleep to the sound of the wind or the waves on the rocks. Kahakai Hale is right by the ocean which enables you to enjoy the constant breeze and hear the waves and wind. When you are here, you can truly relax and unwind. Mahalo for considering us for you next getaway.
