We absolutely adored staying at this lovely and well-appointed cottage! What you see in the pictures is exactly what you get. But even the photos cannot capture the breathtaking seascape and the view of Maui and Lanai, nor the mountainscape in the back of the house. This is the perfect place to unwind. Having a precious cat and two cute visiting and very friendly dogs contributed to our happiness. Our stay was much too short, and we didn’t want to leave. We’ve already booked our next stay.

This is a house that people have lived in and still do, and it shows in its being really well taken care of and in all sorts of nice small touches. The outdoor shower is fabulous, and the beds are very comfortable. Yes, you are fairly close to the main road, but the traffic is negligible. There would be excellent swimming in the summer, but the trade winds were a bit strong and the rains a bit too frequent for swimming at this time of the year. Still, on a sunny calmer day, you can go to the small beach right off of the lawn or drive a mile down the road to another protected shore.

When coming to Molokai, be ready to cook your own food. There are few restaurants. The local supermarkets are also not great, but you can get the basics there. You can also obtain excellent meat from the Livestock Coop and great fruit and veggies from Kumu Farms, both near the airport. You can also get fresh fish. Just talk to Karen, the property manager, who is wonderful and very helpful..

Of the three properties we stayed in during our trip to Kaua‘i, Moloka’i, and Big Island, this was by far our favorite because of its beauty and serenity. There is no mass tourism in Molokai, and it makes the island and its people very special. Truly a treasure.
