About this property

Kepuhi Beach Oceanfront Gem! What a view! Steps to the beach!

This property is on Molokai! Our second-floor condo is a 1 bedroom, plus sleeping loft, 1 bath unit that sleeps 6 and sits yards away from the beach with lovely views of the Pacific Ocean and Kaiaka Rock. It features an updated bathroom, full kitchen, TV, Wi-Fi for cell and laptop use, a nice couch to relax on after a day spent at the beach, a king-sized bed in the main bedroom, a full-sized bed in the sleeping loft, and a queen size pull out couch. (You can see directly into the main bedroom from the sleeping loft so neither room are completely private if you’re using both rooms.)

We bought this condo in May of 2022 and will be upgrading various elements of the condo as we are able. In the meantime, we’ve made sure that our priority is cleanliness and comfort! We’ve upgraded amenities that were an absolute must! So, what’s new in the condo: in the kitchen, you’ll find all new plates and dishes, in the bathroom, you’ll find a new vanity and sink and a new washer/dryer all-in-one unit. In the bedroom and sleeping loft, there are all new pillows, sheets, and blankets. We also have new beach towels and towels for showering and bathing and new bath mats. Our dining room seats have new cushions and there is brand new outdoor furniture and a new outdoor rug on the lanai, a new rug in the living room, and a new queen mattress and linens for the pull-out couch. There are new drawers in the main bedroom closet and new drawers in the sleeping loft. You may notice that a fresh coat of paint in the living room would be a good addition and we think so too! In the meantime, we hope that you will find our eclectic home away from home with the best, most stunning ocean-front view, a warm and inviting place to stay! Please know that our pricing reflects the updates we have made and that there are still improvements that will need to be made in the future.

Also, GECKOS: There are geckos everywhere! Inside and outside. Please don’t be surprised if you see gecko poop in the condo. It was a shock to us at first that these little guys are so prolific. And, yes, chances are you will find the poop on the floor and everywhere else. The cleaners will do their best to clean everything up before you arrive, but don’t be surprised when you see the poop because it’s inevitable. (It looks a bit like bird poop, just so you know!)

The condo is a short walk to the beautiful oceanfront pool, stainless steel gas grills, and beautiful beaches. Here you'll enjoy unobstructed views of the ocean from the lanai, including glimpses of humpback whales in the winter and views of Oahu on clear days. You can sit and relax to the peaceful lull of the ocean surf, palm trees rustling, birds singing, and views of stunning sunsets all year long.

Kepuhi Beach Resort is an oceanfront property on the west end of the island of Molokai, with grounds that include an oceanfront swimming pool, gas grills with picnic tables, and a sundry shop with trinkets and food to purchase. Right out front is Kepuhi Beach, which is great for surfing in the winter months, ideal for swimming and snorkeling come summer, and the site of many paddle races to Oahu. You'll also be a short stroll across the old golf course from Papohaku Beach (aka 3 Mile Beach), one of the longest beaches in the state of Hawaii with waters that are rough in the winter but calmer for ocean swimming in summer. Kepuhi Beach Resort is less than a mile from Make Horse and its many tidepools, seven miles northwest of the town of Maunaloa (the only town on the west end), and 20 miles west of Kaunakakai, where most grocery stores, art/gift shops, mini markets, restaurants, and equipment rentals are located. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself to be the only one on the beach! This is part of the magic of Molokai.

This arid west side of Molokai, just 12 miles from the airport, is known for having less rain than the east side of the island. Molokai is perfect for romance, connection, families, solitude, and quiet. Discover the charm of Old Hawaii away from traffic lights (none on the island), tourist traps, and crowded malls. If you value seclusion and relaxation, the slow pace of Molokai is for you. Molokai is about entertaining yourselves and disconnecting from the world for a little while.

A word about Kepuhi Beach Resort:
Without going into a lot of detail, our condo resort started out as part of a hotel complex that is adjacent to our condo property. For economic reasons, the hotel closed operations in 2000 so you will see some buildings that are shuttered and boarded up. It is unsightly but isn’t something you will be seeing when on the majority of the condo property. One of the remaining agreements between the condo resort and the owner of the hotel property is the use of the common areas which includes the swimming pool. So you will walk past some of the old buildings (the entrance, reception area, and some meeting rooms) as you walk to the pool. The old restaurant faces the pool on one side (it was a wonderful amenity back in the day!) There are ongoing issues between our association and the hotel property owner but we continue to enjoy the breathtaking views from the oceanside pool which makes walking past some old buildings worth it.

Quiet and serene!
Everything was as advertised for this condo! It was easy to find and get into. The view from the lanai was amazing. We had one small issue with the internet and Diane was quick to help us remedy it (roll the router and not just the modem). Even the people staying in the condos around us were very friendly. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

Great location, beautiful view, proximity to pool and beach. Quick communication with owner when toilet was over flowing, we shut off the water and happen to run into Dana who works on the properties and it was fixed quickly. Would definitely stay again!

Kepuhi Molokai Nui
Kepuhi Oceanfront Condo was considerably clean and comfortable for four adults. The large open concept and high ceiling provided plenty of cool fresh breeze day and night. Thanks to previous review, knowing the well stock unit made it easy to quickly settle in. The sliding bathroom door was off its hinge. But, was a simple fix with the screw-driver in the draw by the front door.

About the host

Originally from Ohio, I am a California transplant and am so excited to share our piece of paradise with you!

Why they chose this property

We love Molokai and its peaceful beauty. The ocean may be roaring but there is solitude and relaxation all around you. This is not the Hawaii you see advertised for the tourism industry. It's sleepy and undisturbed by the glitz, resorts, and chain stores you might see on the other islands.

What makes this property unique

Our condo is a rare second-floor end unit with a main bedroom and a sleeping loft. Lots of space for togetherness or for some quiet alone time. And, most importantly, there are unobstructed ocean views and just steps to the beach. I hope you'll love its homey, quirky feel because we wouldn't have it any other way!
