great location, condo dated

both smoke alarms pulled off the wall. one woke me up at 2 am. It was in a drawer by the bed. toilet room light did not work. appliances and furniture are dated. location of the unit is great. you have to know that this island is much different from the other Hawaiian islands. Not much night life here on purpose. It provides a great relaxing atmosphere.

Sehr schöner Blick auf den Strand und das Meer. Leider ist die Einrichtung etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Die Anlage steht zum Teil leer. Wir haben die Ruhe sehr genossen.

Kepuhi 1A

Location was outstanding it was near the beach. We could watch surfers and boogie boarders surf. Furnishings, appliances and carpet were old and worn. We couldn’t use the lanai very much due to the cold westerly wind. A wall on the east side of the lanai would have helped to block the wind allowing our family to sit outside more.. The working washer and dryer was a great convenience. The placement of the MW oven on top of the refrigerator made it hard to use. Besides all the imperfections of the unit we still enjoyed our stay.

Great views from your lanai

This unit at Kepuhi Beach is very private with excellent views of the surf from the lanai. It is well equipped and comfortable. They are planning on remodeling it which will only make it an even better place to stay.

Recovery

This property and Molokai is just perfect for recovering from the stress of the pandemic. You can watch the surfers from the Lanai, relax to the sound of the waves, and walk the old golf course if feeling up to some exercise. There was a miscommunication with the cleaner about our arrival, but she came after and washed the sheets and towels and checked to see what we might need.

Beautiful location

Molokai is a great island and this property has an amazing location. The place is run down and was quite dirty, but we worked with the property manager to come up with an agreement to make things right and he was very friendly and accommodating. I would think they'll do a deep clean of the place before the next customers come in, based on our conversations. The location is truly unbeatable. The lanai is really nice too!

Beautiful location and rustic charm

The location of the cottage, just steps from the beach and walking trails, is superb. We also enjoyed sitting on the patio, using the BBQ (although they are quite far away from the cottage), and cooking dinner in the kitchen. Although the unit is aging, it was comfortable, and wonderful for our needs. We would stay in the cottage again.

Response from VrboOwner on 30 March 2020
Thank you Alex. So glad you had a good time in my Hawaiian home. I want my guest to relax and enjoy yourselves. That is what Molokai is all about. In case you tire of the amazing view, I try to leave things like movies, coolers, beach toys, books to make your stay more enjoyable. So glad you loved your time at Cottage 1A

Absolutely magical setting

Magical setting. Uncrowded surf spot. Monk seal on the beach. Turtles 10 yards offshore. Whales 300 yards offshore. Charming Beach cottage. Soooo good for the soul. Had a great 5 day stay. Thank you and I will be back.

Perfect Getaway Place for a Family

Killer - Killer - Killer!!!! We rented the place to come up and watch our son paddle the Molokai Channel. Our family has a lot of ties to Molokai and it is a place we go often and have since we were kids. Molokai for us is a place to put the brakes on our busy lives on Oahu. This place was perfect for us - everything we needed was in the place and the location was excellent. Had a blast on the beach - shell diving, collecting salt, and the next day had perfect surf. Plus, the view is perfect and sunsets are as good as they can get! We are already planning on renting it again for next year. Thank you for renting it to us. Aloha

Misled

The photos are not an accurate representation of the property as it currently exists. The "resort" is half abandoned, with an overgrown golf course, many vacant buildings with boarded up windows and a crumbling, graffiti covered beach house whose steps to the beach have been washed away. We were stunned. The rental unit itself was a disappointment, with stained carpeting and drapes, broken screen doors, rusty kitchen appliances and an old shower. Fortunately, the ocean views were excellent, and the beauty of Molokai could be found elsewhere. As experienced world travelers, we know how to make the best of difficult circumstances, but we can not recommend this property as it is advertised.

PERFECT vacation in this wonderful cottage

This was our fifth trip to our favorite island, Molokai, but our first stay in this cottage. It was AMAZING!! Our family has stayed in a few of the other cottages on the property but this one is now our favorite. The location and amenities are far superior than the others we've stayed in. :) We can't wait to come back and stay here again! Ideally located, this cottage has an amazing panoramic view of the ocean and wild beauty of Molokai. The washer/dryer in unit was very nice and the expansive lawn off the lanai was perfect for the kids to run around on while the adults relaxed. The unit was clean, well-stocked, and maintained nicely. There was also a nice Hawaiiana Library that the owner has assembled to enjoy while staying there, I loved it! The owner is kind and helpful. It was nice to unplug for awhile: There is no wi-fi in the unit (although there is free wi-fi nearby) and the cell reception was spotty at best. I highly recommend this cottage to anyone wanting a nice relaxing vacation in a peaceful and tranquil place. Mahalo for sharing your wonderful slice of paradise!

4/10 Poor

paradise lost?

You do need to be prepared. The condo is located on a resort property that has basically been abandoned. The grounds and pool (nice pool) are still maintained and once you get over the initial shock of the many rotting buildings, I would stay in the community again. The closest eatery is 20 miles away. That being said, this part of the island is absolutely stunning. I understood going into it from the photos that the condo was dated. But the condo itself is really quite worn and fairly dingy (stained carpet, threadbare linens, stained curtains, screen door could not be inserted in the track). A very high plus is that it has a fabulous, large lanai and fortunately that's where we spent much time enjoying the gorgeous view.

Cottage 1a Beachfront Rental- Molokai,Hawaii

We have gone back to this same cottage year after year! The views are so beautiful and the sunsets are so gorgeous and the sound of the surf lulls us to sleep each night . Several times the whales came to play so close that binoculars were not needed! If you are looking for a peaceful,restful, totally beautiful vacation, don't overlook this cottage on the beach on Molokai !!

Hawaiian Paradise

Amazing location - this has to be the best location on the island. An absolutely beautiful place for watching the sunset. A great location to allow you to see all the island has to offer (don't miss the bakery or Molokai cookhouse). Amazing snorkeling and ocean opportunities right outside the door!!

Paradise!!!

What a great place to find peace and tranquility. We’ve been twice and hope to go again soon. My favorite time of the day was when my wife and I would take the 20 steps to the beach, share a Corona and watch the sunset. I highly recommend it!!!

Private, comfortable, feels like home...not a hotel!

I love the pool, the walks on the old golf course, sitting on the lanai....this is a gorgeous property with an incredible ocean view! We'll go back many times!
