Modern Oceanfront W/Lanai and WiFi–Molokai Shores
Molokai Shores unit #131, on the ground floor: Stroll across a manicured lawn from the ground floor lanai of your renovated oceanfront suite to a gorgeous beach. The beach is perfect for a morning stroll or an evening of stargazing. Celebrate with an evening toast on the lanai that has seating for four guests and a small sofa with a side table. Open the sliding glass doors and find yourself in the main living space.
Tasteful tropical décor, modern finishes, and a wide-open floor plan provide you with the ideal space to call home during your island getaway. Relax in the stylishly comfortable living room furnished with a large sofa, cushioned lounge chair, and a coffee table. For in-home entertainment, there is a flat-screen television perfect for lazy evenings. The designated dining area holds a glass table and seating for four guests.
For the chefs in the family, the kitchen has beautiful cabinetry, backsplash, and generous counter space for prep. Brand-name stainless steel appliances include a stove, oven, full-sized refrigerator and freezer, teapot, and microwave. Help yourself to the coffee maker with complimentary local Hawaiian coffee or concoct your favorite iced beverages in the blender.
The separate bedroom provides an oasis of serenity with a gentle island theme and a warm color palette. The cozy king-sized bed is fitted with top-quality pillows and linens. The bathroom has a shower and complimentary towels and toiletries. The en suite bathroom has a large vanity and mirror to help you look your best before taking photos exploring Molokai.

Everything in this unit has been totally updated. The one bedroom, King bed is comfortable and well thought out. The condo is so well well appointed. Anything that we needed was found at our fingertips. The view is of the ocean and near the pool. We found the quiet and serenity we were looking for...We only wish that we had booked more days at this little slice of heaven. You never know what you are really going to get until you see what the booking really is. If you are looking for comfort, quiet and serenity in your crazy lives ...you will find it here. Many thanks to our hosts!

Given a different unit
We reserved a ground floor unit at Molokai Shores. The information we received the day before check-in moved us to a different, second-floor unit. That was fine with us, but it would be a problem for someone who couldn’t climb stairs.
The location is good, close to town. Bring your own salt, pepper, coffee filters, etc. The condo complex is a popular place for local families to gather. Beautiful grounds, small beach, lovely view of Lanai. We enjoyed our stay.

Disappointed
Place was dusty and dirty floors were horribly dirty. Needed earplugs to drown out roosters sounding out starting at 4am. People above us were clopping around all the time. Place was so hot it was horrible. We had windows open and no breeze. We would never stay here again. Place was not exactly like pictures

Great property, view, and location
First time to Moloka'i and I debated on staying here or out on the west end of the island. I'm glad I chose this property -- central location on the island, close enough to walk to town (about a mile on the side of a busy road -- do-able for adults, but not with kids) and to a nice restaurant/bar at Hotel Molokai (1/4 mile on same busy road).
The property is great -- FANTASTIC view with a nice pool, quiet-ish condo complex, updated furnishings and original artwork, comfortable bed, private-feeling lanai with quality furniture, and the best stocked kitchen I've seen in a rental. Given this, I was surprised that some things were overlooked-- no coffee filters, no bathroom sink soap, no clean kitchen sponge, no beach towels or beach chairs. These weren't a big deal -- we wound up getting these ourselves, but it would've been nice to have had ready, and these seem standard for a (beach) condo.
The check-in process was challenging, in part due to low staffing with Covid -- reduced office hours, no one answering the phone on the ph# posted on the office door, etc. Eventually, we did get the lockbox code but had to wait a couple hours. It would be nice if that could simply be emailed the day of check in rather than going on a goose chase with an off-site office and multiple phone numbers.
Despite these minor things, we loved our time and would definitely rent this unit again.

Gorgeous Molokai!
We spent 5 nights at the condo in February during which we experienced incredible weather. The condo itself was nicely appointed and well equipped. Condo grounds are well maintained and the pool area is really nice. For first time travellers to Molokai beware the roosters who will do all in their collective power to wake you, very early. Ear plugs are a must. This location is very central for exploring and close enough to town that we walked.

Bring your own soap for the bathroom sink!
The condo is in the perfect location, well laid out, easy parking. The view from the lanai is perfect. We appreciated how quiet it was and how beautifully kept the buildings, parking lot, pool, lawn, and landscaping were. The building maintenance guys were friendly and very interesting.
The condo was quite clean, although we killed a couple roach-type bugs in the bathroom (but that’s to be expected in the tropics, the chickens and lizards can’t eat all the bugs!) And when we stripped the bed upon leaving, we noticed the mattress could use a good vacuuming.
The condo manager was a problem. The paperwork left for us in the condo instructed us to go to the management office in town to officially check in. They gave the address of the office, but no directions, nor do they mention the office is completely hidden from view, and there’s no signage.
We finally called the office for directions and found the place. While there, l asked if we could get a bar of soap, as there was nothing but a mini tube of face wash in the condo. “We don’t supply soap,” she said, “because we’re not a hotel.” When l replied we’ve stayed in VRBOs dozens of times and they’d all been supplied with soap, she said we’d just have to buy it ourselves.
Later that day, we found that the keys didn’t unlock all 3 of the door locks. No one answered at the management office; the phone rolled over to another number but no one answered that, either. So back we go to the office at 1230, just as the woman was leaving. She complained that we were keeping her from her kids. l pointed out that their office was supposed to be open until 2pm and no one had answered her phone. She called someone to unlock our door. Thankfully he answered his phone and met us at our door. He was very nice and told us if we had any other issues just to find him.
A few minutes later we got a call from the woman at the office. She didn’t identify herself but started scolding us for calling the emergency number. I said we’d called the regular number but that it had rolled over because she didn’t answer. She apparently didn’t realize her phone system worked that way. After that 1st day there were no more issues, thank goodness.
So, bring your own soap, check to make sure the keys you’re given unlock all 3 locks, try not to have anything to do with the condo management office, and you will have a lovely stay.
