About this property

Moloa'a Bay Villa on the Beach

This impressive home consists of three bedrooms, three baths, and 3,289 Sq Ft. of living space siting on pristine 2.5 acres of white sand beach frontage area. Moloa'a Bay was the site location for the TV pilot of "Gilligan's Island". Here is where the USS Minnow and its crew originally shipwrecked. This may be as close as you will come to living on Gilligan's Island. Here is everything you ever dreamed Kauai to be! A perfect crescent sand beach and turquoise waters. Mystical Moloa'a Bay is located on the North East side of Kauai. Truly "Off-The-Beaten-Path" giving one the sense of an exclusive & genuine experience of the REAL Hawaii.

Home is fully air conditioned. A wrap-around deck provides 2nd floor views of the ocean and coastline along with dramatic mountain vistas. The well-manicured Estate grounds are verdantly planted with Hawaiian tropical flora. A thick hedge at the beach edge provides privacy and security. There is an outdoor shower near the beach access.

**No Weddings or Events Allowed at this Property**

(Be advised that ocean conditions can be unpredictable and unsuitable for swimming at times. Please use cautionary discretion when entering the ocean at any location on the island).
*This home is located in a "Tsunami Evacuation Zone*

As a guest at Moloa'a Bay Villa & RE/MAX Kauai, you'll have access to Kauai's Premier Concierge Service, we will help you build your perfect vacation.

The home is next to the beach. The view is awesome. It is out of the way and a 10 minute drive to a store.

Great property
We have stayed at higher end locations all around the island and this is definitely one of the best. The property is very well kept, the location is great and the communication and responsiveness with the property management company was great. We highly recommend and can't wait to come back!

Oh My Gosh, So Very Nice
Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very unhappy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location and the house were both amazing. The kitchen was well appointed everything was tidy and clean. We had two reservations. The fan in the bedroom facing the beach was too noisy to use. We think it needs repair. The deck furniture was in adequate. Two pretty nice chairs and then a bunch of folding wooden chairs that were not comfortable'

Quiet get-away
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Villa is situated on a premium lot overlooking Moloa'a Bay. The view is exceptional and access to the beach is amazing. The house was very clean and comfortable, although a few more cushioned chairs on the lanai would be great. There were a few blips with appliances but Angela with ReMax was very efficient and helpful. We had no issues with insects, etc. and were all pleased with the comfort of the beds. The kitchen served its purpose for our family of six. But the location is the real draw. We visited other beaches but always ready to come "home" to Mola'a Bay beach!!!!

Amazing Location
What an amazing spot on the planet! This bay has it all: tide pools, sea life (sea turtles pull out on the beach), hikes up to the point, spirited swimming (at low tide for good swimmers only in Winter), and a large, quiet and private property with a beautiful shady beach front and exceptional views. There is a guest house on the property that is also rented but it's set well apart (if you got both you could host a large group very well). The layout was comfortable for our 4 kids (two each per room using the trundle pullout). The kitchen is very well-appointed and in the perfect location. The only thing we wished for is a bit more space at the outdoor table on the lanai so we could all dine together outside. It is an older home, but everything works well and there have clearly been updates to the appliances and furnishings. The teak railing around the lanai is the nicest work I've seen! In terms of location, it's well situated on the North shore on a very quiet bay down small one-lane style roads. So not many people know about (but locals do: quite a few were fishing on New Years day made for great conversations). Great restaurants and stores within 15min drive, and good access to Hanalei and the rest of the north shore. Would absolutely return.

Ideal location
This how was our little piece of heaven for the last week. The beach is steps away and we had ideal weather so it was perfect for all of us to snorkel. It’s the type of home and beach you never want to leave. The house had incredible views and it was very private. Our kids played in the open floor plan and on the outdoor patio. It was easy to keep track of everyone. The kitchen was great for a large family cooking all together. We are already trying to plan when we could come back.

5 star location, but...
The location for this property is perfect - nice beach just steps away, but the owner is relying on the location and neglecting the house itself. The house is in need of some major TLC. For the price, one would not expect knobs falling off cupboards, a jet engine AC above the great room, or an inoperable stove/oven. There were so many things wrong with this house, we developed a punch list to provide to the agent and owner. The oven/stove has been inoperable since July and they keep stating they are waiting on a part or qualified people to install it. We had to do all our cooking on provided propane burners. When one is paying a premium for luxury accomodations, one expects these things to work. We had plumbers and electricians out to the house to put temporary fixes on things (they never returned to fix them properly). We were there for 2 weeks and there was ample time to address these issues. The house is really in need of a refresh.

Beautiful Bay Retreat
The house is in an amazing location on a quieter bay. There were usually more local fisherman than beach goers. It looked to be a good spot for catching Scad as there would be a dozen or more fisherman clustered pulling them in throughout the day. The house is well equipped and has an amazing bay view. The wrap around lanai and sand room were great. The yard was spacious, well maintained, and great for the keikis. The neighborhood was very quiet and peaceful. We received a heads up ahead of time that the oven was out and a repair person would be coming during our stay. They provided butane burners and plenty of butane refills so It wasn’t a problem. Property management communicated well for the repair visit. We did have a rodent get into our food in the pantry so the broken oven became the food storage. We found later the rodent was a rat which woke us up in the night as it clumsily thumped around in the closest. We chased it to its hidey hole and notified management who said it would be taken care of. Overall a wonderful place and we’ll be retuning hopefully sooner than later.

Awesome place to spend your vacation
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house is nicer than we expected because they've updated some of the furniture but not the pictures. Very comfortable. You essentially have a private/semi private beach, there is public access to the beach but parking is so limited just a few locals show up to fish. One day we had a pair of endangered Monk Seals in the Bay. Swimming and snorkeling was great. There is a nature trail at the northwest corner of the bay. I'm sure we will rent this home again. It is secluded. Excellent communication from the property manager.

But, beware of the property management company since they do not prepare the property well upon arrival and are pretty much non-responsive. they also ask the tenant to do many chores that are the responsibility of the management company.

Beautiful Bay - Matching Home.
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The home was incredible from the time you walk into the front door and have the view across the entire back of Moloa'a Bay. The large open kitchen gathering area created an atmosphere of togetherness. It was also very nice to have A/C at night - a big plus in August. The bay is beautiful. Crescent beach with a reef protected calm side to the right and waves in the middle. i snorkeled by the reef and we all did some boogie boarding in the waves. The house is absolutely gorgeous and located such that we could get the the north shore and south shores quickly.

perfect house for a family reunion
Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved the layout of the house and its proximity to the beach. It met with nearly all my expectations: it was spacious and comfortable for our family of 10 including four small children; the ocean was always calm in the rocky pools at the end of the beach and often was calm enough for paddle boarding. The kitchen and laundry are spacious and well equipped. One drawback is that the cell phone signal does not reach the house (although there is wifi).

Great Stay along the Ocean
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: If you like the sound of waves, the feel of the trade winds and easy proximity to the beach, this property is for you! This spacious house on stilts along the beach. The view is outstanding and the beach is fairly private. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was nicely stocked with the basics. The only negatives were that the 2 of the 4 screen doors to the deck were difficult to open/close and some of the kitchen drawers did not open easily - some maintenance would solve these issues. The refrigerator was huge and the full-house zoned satellite radio system was a nice bonus!

Princeville a short but beautiful drive but there were farms stands and country markets if you didn’t want to go far. The home had more than we could ask for and will definitely do this again.
