Closest Oceanfront Cottage on Kepuhi Beach, Molokai- $Discount

Enjoyed our 3 days on Molokai; first time to visit the island. Property is right above a small beach popular with local surfers and a short walk further to a splendid wide beach. The unit was well-equipped; had the charm of Hawaii of 20 years ago. Good ocean views from bedroom and living room. Two added comments are that a) the location is a goodly distance (about 20 - 30 minutes) from the airport, stores and other activities and b) being located on the grounds of the defunct Sheraton resort (closed for many years now) there are a number of closed-off buildings nearby that detract from the ambiance. However, they are "out of sight" from the beach and the unit itself so that does not detract much from the experience. As well as a decent pool less than 5 minutes walk from the unit, there is a small convenience store on the property that is well-stocked. Prices are high but can save one a long trip into the main area of Molokai. The store at Maunaloa closed earlier in 2020 so the store at the condo/resort area is the only option in the immediate area. Best to buy all provisions in the central area of Molokai. I would consider returning to this unit if I were to return to Molokai in the near future.

Thank you Cher for sharing your wonderful home with us.

We had stayed in another condo in this area, but wanted to be closer to the ocean this trip. Cher’s place fit that description! You are as close as you can be without getting wet! Falling asleep to the thundering waves was wonderful. We watched the local surfers on good wave days, whales playing, sunsets, and just the waves in general, right from the lanai. There are great walking/hiking trails right from the cottage, and several beaches within walking distance; many times you are the only one there! But a word of caution: the currents here in winter are treacherous, so swimming is not advised most days.

Aside from the great location, this cottage has everything you need for a beach vacation: towels, beach chairs and umbrella, even boogie boards! There is cable tv, good WiFi, and plenty of books and some games for the occasional rainy day. Communication with the owner, and housekeeper, is very good. Any questions or concerns I had were quickly responded to. I would highly recommend renting this cottage!

A note about Molokai: there are few restaurants, and town is a half hour drive, so be prepared to do your own cooking. If you are looking for upscale dining, vibrant nightlife, endless tourist activities, and lots of shopping, this is NOT the island for you! If you want laid-back, relaxing days, with friendly folks waving hello wherever you go, this IS the island for you! As the saying goes, “Don’t change Moloka’i, let Moloka’i change you”.

Some favorites this trip: Hālawa Valley cultural tour, fly fishing with Captain Clay of HallelujahHou Fishing, seeing whales breaching, hiking to the top of Kaiawa Rock (just to the south of the resort).

Excellent location!! We did not even want to leave our lanai. Excellent location for watching the surf and surfers all day long!
