Laid back Molokai beach-hideaway

One of the few Paniolo Hale units within steps to the beach! 2 Bedroom, 2 Bathroom, & Wrap Around Lanai with Ocean Views

Our spacious, ocean-view townhouse is only steps from Kepuhi Beach. This 2000 sq ft townhouse feels more like a beach home with its generous living space, 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, single-bed/couch in living room, and wrap-around lanai. Our townhouse is a lovely space for two people who just want a little extra room, yet also large enough to accommodate up to 5 people with ample room to relax. Beautiful French doors open the entire downstairs up to a 500 sq. ft. screened lanai - the ultimate space for dining or just basking in the breeze and enjoying the spectacular views of Kaiaka Rock. This Paniolo Hale townhouse makes optimal use of the panoramic lanai views with an open-air floor plan. Our hale has a fully equipped kitchen including a dishwasher, refrigerator, ice-maker, filtered drinking water, oven, stove, microwave, coffee maker, blender, etc. Our townhouse is also equipped with a full-size washer and dryer for your convenience.

Wake up every morning on a comfortable king-size bed to the gentle sea breeze through the open French doors. Breathe in the fresh ocean air and listen as Mother Nature pounds her waves onto the Kepuhi Beach. The downstairs bedroom has a King size bed and an adjoining full bathroom making for a convenient and comfortable stay. You’ll also find a comfortable Queen size bed upstairs plus a single bed, with amazing ocean and garden views. A full-size bathroom is also located directly adjacent to the upstairs bedroom. Our charming townhouse is nicely furnished with a dining table, living room seating area, and an extra pune'e (single bed/couch) in the living room.

Paniolo Hale offers a beautiful pool & BBQ area for your enjoyment. Take a short walk North to Make Horse Beach, or venture only minutes south to Papohaku Beach, the longest white sand beach in Hawaii, where sometimes the only people on the beach are you.

Molokai is known as 'The Friendly Isle.' It is also considered the most Hawaiian island. Literally, step back in time 50 years. You will not find traffic lights, elevators, malls, glitz, or nightlife here. If you're looking for a rural place for relaxation, snorkeling, beautiful ocean views, quiet beaches, and old Hawaii, you'll find it at our condo. Some say 'Only on Molokai', we say 'Always on Molokai’. Come visit and find out why.

Lazy friends week
The home is beautiful as is the location, you are on the most beautiful beaches of the island. We literally drove every mile of paved road on the island and did not see anywhere we would have rather Ed stay. We ate in on the beautiful escreened in porch for 2 meals a day and tried a new restaurant for the other. We read other reviews that there is no ac in the house (not allowed by the condo association) and it was hotter than we prefer but hey, we were in Molokai, can’t complain. The owners have provided eveything you could need from a ton of fans to beach coolers, coffee grinders, board games etc. A very nice place to stay.

Wonderful condo near the beach
My family of 4 (2 adults, 2 kids ages 13 and 10) stayed at the condo for 5 nights. We had a wonderful time. The location is the condo is perfect and we loved being able to walk to my husband's favorite beach on Molokai, Make Horse. The condo is well stocked with appliances and other needed supplies so that was very convenient. We would definitely stay here again!

Amazing family vacation
We went for a family trip looking for peace and nature to recover from our busy lives, and boy, did we come to the right place! First I was a little worried about the deserted location and thought, if the condo isn’t as advertised, I have nowhere to go, but when we arrived after a 30 min drive from the airport, it was the best place ever. Sparkling clean, lots of space, super well-equipped. Patio doors open up to surrounding veranda that is protected with mosquito-netting so you have the indoor/outdoor feel without any bugs. The beds are comfortable, it’s cool at night and we were there hight of summer. The grounds are clean and well maintained, there is a super cute pool area with lounge chairs and the manager is super responsive. The beaches are a hop and skip away, you hear the waves crashing on the shore at night. Washer/dryer, dishwasher, rice cooker, coffee maker, coffee grinder - everything there, everything in great working order. You walk to ride pools, spectacular scenery, monk seals - all within minutes from this condo. Stunning in every way! For true nature lovers - so much to see, very few people, almost no tourists. Rent a 4 wheel drive if you want to go see stuff on this island - we were so happy we had the jeep. And this was the perfect stay - so comfortable! Can’t recommend enough. The pictures don’t do it justice!

We loved staying at this sweet condo… can’t beat the location, just a stone’s throw from an absolutely gorgeous beach and the condo has everything you could need. Our arrival time changed and the host was great at adjusting our check in so we weren’t hanging out in town, waiting several hours to check in. Five big stars… perfect quiet place to celebrate my 60th.

JUST WHAT WE NEEDED… not long enough!
We are 2 couples. Life-Long best friends. We live in beautiful, shovel & blow white snow country so to get away together and RELAX lulled to sleep by the surf was a total needed blessing! The screened porch made for the very best place for morning coffee and meals. (We chose not to eat inside.) comfy beds, lots of towels, great supply of everything in the kitchen. Extra spices above expectations. Cinnamon in my coffee was delightful. The wagon & sm ice chests to carry all to the beaches all week was a true blessing as well. The landscaping is well cared for and tropically lush. Whomever designed this resort did a wonderful job! Our unit and all are spaced for privacy and laid back enjoyment. Everything about our stay here was “Just what the Dr. ordered.) Rest, relaxation, beauty, comfort. Best place on the island!

The whole process was easy. Everything was great, the updated kitchen was perfect. I really appreciated the fragrance free laundry detergent and eco friendly soaps provided. the beds were comfortable, the view is awesome, and there is nothing like going to sleep listening to the ocean. I look forward to staying in your beautiful Hale again in the near future.

Aloha slow down it’s Molokai
Hale was beautiful and spacious, covered lanai with many places to sit or hang out expended living room and bedroom. Hale had everything we could think of and much more. Beautiful landscaping surrounded the whole complex and it was so close to the beach. Tracy and Nalani were super hosts, they responded quickly and were very accommodating. Nice appliances, fridge with filtered water and ice was very appreciated. We enjoyed our stay and would love to come back! Thank you for sharing your hale with us. Mahalo nui loa

Lovely peaceful location
The hale (house) was beautiful and well-equipped with a lovely lanai (veranda). It was a short walk to two beautiful beaches. The kitchen had everything and more that you could need, and there were great “extras” in the closets - beach chairs, umbrella, snorkel equipment. The stay was peaceful and restful. The hosts replied quickly to any concerns that we had. I would highly recommend this property!

Molokai Magic
Everything we could imagine was provided in the house. The screen-in covered porch on two sides opened to inside with floor to ceiling bifold doors. The porch offered a choice of chairs or hammock and was a great place to relax with sound of surf or even gentle rain. We ate all our meals on the porch.

A Hawaiian Oasis
We felt very fortunate to have found this beautiful place to stay on the island of Molokai! Tracy and Nalani were excellent hosts, and their bright and airy 'Hale' is incredibly well equipped, and situated in lush surroundings, with the sounds of the ocean and many tropical birds a constant in the background. Molokai is very laid back, and not a typical Hawaiian tourist destination, but we loved the slower pace of life and found that we were never bored. A rental car is vital, as distances between services are considerable, but there's plenty to see and do, and we enjoyed exploring. In all, this was a wonderful getaway from Canadian winter, and Paniolo Hale is very highly recommended as an exceptional vrbo property.

Very Comfortable!
This is an oasis on the dry, western coast of Molokai. The condo does not directly face the beach, but it’s only a one-minute walk to some beautiful ocean scenes. It was quiet and relaxing! The lanai or porch is screened-in so the living area is open and airy. There were plenty of kitchen tools and appliances to make your meals perfect. The upstairs bedroom was a bit warmer because not all the windows opened, but there were two ceiling vents and fan. We REALLY enjoyed the spacious, relaxing condo and Tracy has done a great job in making it a perfect vacation setting.

Great location
The condo was near the beach. There were lot of things for the beach: chairs, umbrella, cooler, etc. In the kitchen we had everything to prepare the meals and lot of dinnerware. The first day, it was really hot, too hot, not able to sleep in the upstair room. Should open the condo at least 12 hours before our arrival. No air conditioner so it's hot. But at night, it's not so bad. The blinds upstair really need to be cleaned. Everything was as expected. We appreciated the things in the fridge left by people who rented before us, so we left lot of stock also. Thanks to the owners, we'll surely be back someday.
