"Quiet and clean! Spent the week with my daughter and had such a wonderful vacation. Located on the west side of Maui, near so many sandy beaches and restaurants. Snorkeled at Black Rock beach and swam with the sea turtles and fish only found in Hawaii . The condo had a full kitchen that we used through-out the stay. We never ran out of things to do. There were sea turtles on the beach on the condo property. Spotted whales and dolphins off the coast from our balcony. We looked forward to...

This sleepy main town on Molokai offers authentic Hawaiian culture at Kaunakakai Harbour and local shops along Ala Malama Avenue. Grab fresh-baked bread from Kanemitsu Bakery's famous 'hot bread' window after 8pm, or join locals fishing off the state's longest pier.
