About this property

Molokai Dreams Oceanview Studio @ Kephui Beach Resort/ aka Kaluakoi Resort

Discover the charm of Old Hawaii away from traffic lights, tourist traps and crowded malls. If you value seclusion and relaxation over glamour and glitz, the slow pace of Molokai is for you.

The view from our lanai is steps away from the ocean, beaches, pool and bar-b-que. Sit and relax to the peaceful lull of the ocean surf, palm trees rustling and birds singing.

From December to May watch humpback whales and enjoy spectacular sunsets all year long.

Our beautifully remodeled studio condo is value priced for an affordable vacation in paradise. Click the link to our website for more photos and info.

Lovely, cozy place with ocean view

We really enjoyed our stay here! The condo was very clean, had more than everything we needed, including a well-equipped kitchen. The view of the ocean is breathtaking. Only downside is the distance to any bigger city and mobile connection. But they had wifi and this is Molokai ;).

Perfect restful holiday

I was very pleased with the studio and location, and felt at home right away. I decided that I prefer the west end for the quietness and incredible view. Thanks Cal and Barb for making your place available. Molokai dreaming, for sure!

A Peak at Paradise

We didnt know what to expect on our first visit to Molokai but it is hard to beat this! The views, especially sunsets, were magical. Morning coffee to the song of local birds was a favorite patio time. Molokai was like our own private island from the nearby Papohaku beach reserved for only us to hiking in solitude at Kalaupapa overlook. Be sure to stop at the market in Kuanakakai after you land for the best stock of groceries and Kumu Farms along the way for fresh produce. The condo is stocked with a healthy supply of staples and everything else you'll need. We now want a murphy bed...awesome!! Mahalo Barbarba and Cal for being perfect hosts!

Oasis

I was in love in the first minute. The view from the lanai was stunning. The photos barely capture the tastefulness of the remodel. The breeze cooled us perfectly. The surf was up and watching the surfers and the surf was a meditation on enjoying the island’s beauty. Unit was very clean and super organized and kitchen pans/items were quality pieces, so prepping meals for grilling was a joy. We often had the beach to ourselves on morning walks. Book if you want a remote oasis with only a few other people around.

Fantastic Location and Home - Foto says it all

We stayed for 1 week and when arrived on 1st evening not sure how it will work out. No Restaurants open and no grocery or Shops (we arrived on a Sunday). There was Nothing in the town and 30min. drive to Condo. But then, Condo is well equiped, it is small, not luxury but all you Need is there and all maintained with a "heart" on the home! The view from terrace is unbeatable and every evening we enjoyed sunset during dinner. We never had a full week with self made dinner and bottle of wine on terrace during our Holiday! Then all day we walked to 4-5 beaches nearby and this is uneblievable paradise and NOBODY else there. It is Kind of "bitter-sweet", it used to be Hotel Resort until some 10-15y ago - then all closed - Looks a bit sad but then on other Hand if you look for some days of original paradise, self cattering not an issue and enjoy sun and sunset alone then this is defenitely best place we have ever been! Many thanks to Cal and Barabara for letting us stay here. we recommend 100% and have many Fotos for poster collages for our home back in Austria.

Peace and quiet in your home paradise away from home.

Your home away from home- in paradise. Barb & Cal have created a unit with the comforts of home in an idyllic setting: a panoramic view of the Pacific ocean and beautiful sunsets. But most striking is the peace and quiet. Molokai, with a history and reputation for resisting development, is a throwback to the days before Starbucks and big box stores. No Vegas shows, no Casinos. Not even a single stop light on the entire island. Just peace and quite in the middle of a tropical paradise. In fact, you'll feel out of place wearing a Hawaiian shirt. Western Molokai is dry, even parched in places. Water is not wasted. Technically, it's a desert: 27" of rain per year (vs Kauai 70" - 400" per year), although torrential rains are possible in winter. So, although Western Molokai tends more to brown than green, you can almost guarantee sun every day in April and throughout the summer. This resort was part of a major resort with a world class golf course 20 years ago, funded by the Japanese before the recession, when they pulled out. Later attempts to revive it were opposed by people of Molokai; for example, a developer demanded 10 million gallons of water a day to water the golf course. But Molokai Dreams is in one of a group of buildings owned by private owners; it was not part of the commercial development. The owners have taken an active interest in maintaining the quality of their area and units, as is evident by the pictures in the website. You will notice boarded up buildings on the perimiter (eg pro shop, bar), but the owners manicure their area and keep the family-sized pool pristine clean. What you won't find is the beat of sub-woofers pounding your chest, party animals carousing until all hours of the night, or garbage from drive thrus blowing in the breeze. What you will find is a green gem overlooking Pacific Ocean sunsets. And Peace, And Quiet.

This unit has to be one of the best in the hole resort. Very clean and well equipped. I'm considered a long term stay and enjoy cooking. The kitchen has everything you need including a set of sharps knifes and new cook where. The view from this unit is spectacular. Barbara and Cal are great hosts. Any questions or concerns, they respond quickly. I will be returning to this unit in the future. Mahalo Barbara and Cal for letting me stay at your property. Aloha Chuck

Cozy Studio for Two

We absolutely enjoyed this delightful cozy studio for two. I didn't expect such a wonderful view from the lanai or such close proximity to beach. We enjoyed watching the deer and turkeys roaming the property. Our stay was quiet and peaceful. I would stay again in the future and would recommend to others.

Amazing

The condo itself has everything you could ever need. There’s a small store in the resort that has most of the essentials and some food. The sunset view is pretty wicked. The beach in front of the condo was mostly empty when we came. It’s great for walking and chillen but definitely not for swimming. Overall a wonderful stay.

Perfect

This was our 2nd time to Kepui Beach Resort, the 1st time in this suite. It was fantastic. The owners have everything you could ever need. The Murphy bed was very comfortable, lots of towels, beach chairs, books, CD and the best view. We had stayed in a upper suite before and the view from ground level was just as spectacular. We would come back and highly recommend

Quiet and Peaceful Getaway

This was a great place to stay as we celebrated our 50th anniversary. A beautiful ocean view and sunset along with a well equipped condo made this a perfect location even for day trips to the east end of the island. We enjoyed several of the local restaurants and the friendliness of all the folks we came in contact with. We thought living on the Big Island was laid back but this takes relaxed living a nice step further.

25th Anniversary

The place was clean private and secluded , we really wanted to get away from the eat race enjoy private beaches and just SLOW DOWN! It was beautiful. Just prepare being some food being cash some places do not take cash. Barb and Val were easy to reach and have thought of everything to make your stay perfect,the only thing I would add is Tommy Bahama beach chairs for the beach.😀

Great Condo with Awesome views!

We loved our stay at this condo. The host thought of everything, and everything we needed was provided in the Condo. Beautiful views out to the Ocean and hearing the waves crashing during the night was paradise! Thank you Barbara and Cal for providing this unforgettable place to stay while in Molokai.
