About this property

Lovely 2 bdr 2 bath condo in prestigious Paniolo Hale, 4min walk to Kepuhi Beach

There is a place in the world where time seems to have stopped, where simplicity rules, where peace of mind can be found. Welcome to Molokai, the most Hawaiian of all the islands.

Here on Molokai, one can’t help but be allured by the ruggedness of the world’s largest sea cliffs towering above crystal clear, turquoise waters, or the gentle stretches of untamed beaches, including the second longest beach in Hawaii.

Take a leisurely drive, hike or ride a pack animal through misty rainforests, to the silvery waterfalls, or through royal coconut groves. Watch out for the wild spotted deer, Molokai is a place where authenticity reigns supreme, the only main island in which native Hawaiians are the majority - only 7,000 people live on the island. You will find a warm welcome and friendly conversation among the locals and delight in their stories reaching generations back. See how National Geographic rated it #6 out of 111 islands in an article as it was published in the November/December 2006 issue of National Geographic Traveler Read Article.

Come discover this little corner of the planet and lose yourself in its splendid beauty…or perhaps more accurately, find yourself.
Paniolo Hale is an intimate cluster of condominiums located on the sunset rich west end of Molokai. Densely landscaped and quietly private, the grounds are a tropical garden. The sounds of chirping birds, whistling trade winds and ocean waves will carry you into tranquility. Truly a place of seclusion at its best.

Our two-bedroom end unit, with 1900 square feet, sleeps five, is newly decorated and enjoys garden and partial ocean views. Completely redecorated and furnished, the two-level, two bedroom, two bath condo features a downstairs living room with stereo/CD player, cable television and VCR/DVD player with movies, dining room, a large lanai wrapping completely around two sides, fully equipped kitchen, a downstairs bedroom with two double beds and TV, and full bath. Upstairs is a spacious master bedroom with king-size bed, TV, full master bath and private sundeck. All linens are furnished, as well as boogey boards, snorkel equipment, and beach mats and other amenities.

Within the grounds of Paniolo Hale is an inviting swimming pool, an outdoor shower, and several outdoor grills and dining areas. Unfortunately the Kaluakoi golf course that is directly adjacent to Paniolo Hale has closed along with the Molokai Ranch Hotel. The picturesque shoreline is just steps away where you can enjoy the solitude of the many sugar-sand beaches, including Hawaii’s second longest sand beach, and the breathtaking sunset views famous to the islands.

Everything you need in a Condo

The condo was exceptional and had everything. The facilities were great and the lanai was a great place to chill and have a drink listening to the birds. Big comfortable beds with ample linen provided. We really enjoyed our stay and wouldn't hesitate to recommend to others.

Steps from the ocean

The screened in wrap around lanai was wonderful as was the open air concept living room. This condo complex has well established gardens, and is located a short walk from some of the beautiful beaches on the west end of Molokai.

Absolutely perfect

This condo was the nicest I have ever stayed in. Perfect Hawaiian decor. Perfect location short walk to deserted beaches. Perfect location for a hike to even more isolated beaches. Quiet area and green oasis on the dry side of Molokai. The lanai was the highlight. It wraps around the living room and has a bed for relaxing in the shade. I plan on going back.

Lovely, lovely condo - highly recommended

Absolutely terrific condo in one of the best areas to stay on Molokai. Comfortable. Lots of places to sit and relax. Great internet. Well stocked kitchen with all the appliances you need to cook anything. Terrific bed and pillows. Good shower with lots of hot water. Awesome ventilation and shade from large trees so it was never hot. And...that deck/patio. Wow. It's a wrap-around and *huge*. It's like you are sitting in the trees. Perfect for morning coffee, dinners while spying on the wild turkeys or axis deer, and afternoon naps on the day bed!! You'll love it. The only thing to note - the view is quite small. You can see the ocean, but not much. That said, I've stayed in ocean front places in this same development and would choose this one *hands-down*. It's that great. The beach is a quick walk away and the tree view from the deck is truly lovely.You should stay here! I know I'm coming back.

Dream vacation house

Laura’s beautiful home was the best place that we have stayed at during our 15-nights, 3-islands visits. Laura puts a lot of love into the house - it is beautifully decorated, richly equipped, and highly maintained. We felt so blessed to be able to stay at her magnificent home. Thank you Laura for sharing your piece of heaven with us. We hope to come back again.

We loved this place! The screened in porch was incredible and the place was perfect for our family to have time to be together and play games. There were four large beds and the place was tropical and minutes from the beach. We will stay there again. Highly recommended!

A Great Spot for a Unique Sleep

This unit has a large family room area with a pass through to the kitchen and a large lanai that wraps around the property with large doors that we never closed when we were there. It was very comfortable. It may sound funny, but the beds were a real highlight. Not only were they very comfortable, but there was a double bed outside on the screened-in lanai. I slept there every night and woke up with the birds when the sun rose. It was so unique and so great. The bottom bedroom has 2 beds in it while the upstairs has a king. The upstairs gets hotter during the day, but there is a portable a/c unit in that room that helps cool it down a bit for the hot nights. We loved this place and would gladly come back.

Quiet and Relaxing

Internet connection very sketchy even after moving to different areas of house. Sporadic incoming messages and email every few hours beginning at 5:30pm until midnight. Upstairs shower had no hot water. Also no instructions for complicated tv. So due to no WiFi we were cut off from everything. Other than that we enjoyed celebrating 82yo birthday . It is not a place for seniors. Mahalo !

Wonderful Family Get Away

This trip was perfect. The location of the house was about 25 min from town but had a kitchen to cook in and great space for hanging out. The beach is a quick walk and everyone was so friendly. I wouldn't have changed a thing. We have kids ranging from 8-14 and everyone loved it.

Awesome setting

Condo located in beautifully landscaped and tended complex. It has a very clean and nice swimming area. Folks there were very friendly and the whole place very quiet. The beach is about a 5 minute walk down a slight hill. The unit was nice but slightly dated. It has a wonderful lanai that wraps around 2 sides and is fully screened. A few things like fans only worked at one speed (full speed) and lights (a couple would not come on). The beds were good and the bathrooms very roomy. The upper unit got quite warm in the heat of the day but cooled down enough for sleeping. All in all we enjoyed our stay and enjoyed staying at this unit. The owner was very helpful and responsive.

Relax in paradise.

We have rented in this complex before and enjoyed both times. If you seek a laid back relaxing vacation this hits the spot. This unit was well equipped . I love to cook and the kitchen had everything. When we went on outings there were beach chairs, coolers and other extras that we took along.. The unit itself is close to many beaches which you can walk to, but we also loaded up our rental vehicle when exploring the island. We would recommend this unit to everyone seeking excellent accomodation on an island that seems frozen in time.

Not well maintained

B building has the best location for trade winds wonderfully ventilating this unit and feeling removed from the others. Being an end unit is also a plus. Great pool, frequently all to ourselves, well done paintings of fish on the bottom giving the illusion that they're there. The first floor has a one step level change which might be trouble for some people. The maintenance of this unit is not up to what I've seen in other VRBO units: needs painting, some doors need repairs or replacing, the main bedroom closet was piled with stuff that I had to remove just to be able to hang things in it, one smoke detector out of three looks functional, switches for lights and fans are very hard to know what's what. I've owned rentals, so I always care about maintenance. Your past reviews are very positive, so visitors do love being there, that's always good to hear about Hawai'i and Molokai'i.

Great townhouse

My entire family loved this place. It has a great wrap around screened in porch where we hung out and ate all of our meals. The place was very well equipped. Great for cooking meals for the entire family. The complex is quite nice with beautiful grounds and a nice pool. There are out door grills and the one next to the pool works better. This place is a very short walk to the beach with some good swimming nearby. The only downside of this property is that it is a 30 min drive to the main town, which has the restaurants and grocery stores. Nevertheless, I would stay here again if I return to Molokai.

About the host

Hosted by Laura Darke

Host profile image
We had traveled to all of the Hawaiian islands and enjoy them all but there is nothing like the magic of Molokai. The first time we came, we just fell in love with the slow pace and the natural beauty. There is not a single traffic light on the island! Living in Los Angeles, this place provides a sanctuary from crazy city life.

Why they chose this property

Paniolo Hale is a very exclusive community of properties on the west side of Molokai. The vegetation is lush and the sound of the birds is enticing. There are not a lot of restaurants on the island so get ready to pick up some fresh fish at the wharf and some natural food products in town and settle in to your condo in Paradise.

What makes this property unique

There is a wrap around lanai that is pure heaven. The condo is lovingly decorated and feels very much like a home. There are plenty of towels and pool/beach toys, chairs, etc. The beaches are uncrowded often to the point of being deserted. On a clear night you can see the lights of Oahu across the Chanel. The stars are amazing! The outdoor balcony off the master is a wonderful place to enjoy a cocktail and some star gazing. Don't miss Aloha Friday at Hotel Molokai and the Mule Ride down some of the steepest sea cliffs in the world leading to the old leper colony and the grave of Father Damien. The cultural tour of the east end is also a must with hikes into the land of waterfalls!
