Wonderful Accommodations for a Wonderful Vacation

The location of the cottage, just steps from the beach and walking trails, is superb. Very much enjoyed sitting on the patio, using the BBQ (gentleman on the property sells fresh fish), and cooking dinner in the kitchen. The unit was quite comfortable and wonderful for all my needs. I would stay in the cottage again.

The view was spectacular and the property was comfortable. I'm not sure whose responsibility it was to inform us of the entry code, but when we hadn't received it an hour before check-in, I called Expedia. They referred me to VRBO.VRBO did not have it and couldn't reach the owner. Through a series of phone calls, I eventually reached the housekeeper who was able to provide a code. The owner did call later that evening to apologize, but I think the booking agents should have been the ones to apologize. The apartment was comfortable but there are a few things that need attention: 1) the light over the bathroom sink is so dim that it is almost useless. It made it very difficult to get ready in the morning. 2) the hot water did not work in the bathroom sink. 3) the TV did not work 4) the bedside lamp nearest the sliding glass door did not work 5) windows were difficult to open 6) there were a few copies of property rules, but it would have been nice to have more explicit instructions for the apartment itself.

Embrace Molokai's Spirit

We were drawn to the west side of Moloka'i for its remoteness, yet it's only about 35 minutes from the airport. The description was accurate; Remote and Private. Ocean view. The area offers wonderful beach strolls including the nearly 3 mile long Papohaku Beach. Relatively quiet and adjacent to the now long-time closed Sheraton Hotel that offers a ghost town feel. Interesting history there. The condo at Maunaloa is well-seasoned, clean, and just fine. It offered what we needed.

Molokai

Beautiful property! Great view of the ocean and waves! Not busy! Like walking through a picture. The condo could use some updating, ie step stool to open upper window vents, washer and dryer, and a dishwasher washer would be nice. Not enough bath towels for a week. Tom, the host, quickly responded to inquiries. It would also be a nice touch to have information about island activities, where to shop, and sightseeing. Thanks for the memories!

This is my second stay at Tom's unit. Definitely I will be returning. Everything you will need is there for a long or short stay. It also has one of the best views out of the hole complex. If you have any questions or concerns, Tom is fast to respond. Great place to stay. Mahalo Tom for the use of the unit. Chuck

Comfy condo in deserted resort

I enjoyed the condo, it was cozy and exactly as described with all necessities. Kaluakoi and this area of the island is very remote and out of the way and I used to enjoy staying here in the 90s. I was very disappointed to see how rundown the resort was, and practically deserted with many buildings looking condemned and abandoned. The beach and ocean is beautiful and if you’re looking to get away from everything this place can work.

Location is gorgeous in a small community about 30 min out of the main town. Easy walk to beach with paved walk. Area was nicely landscaped. Could use a little more cleaning and repair, corners, light bulbs, plexiglass over back screens.

Dreckige Unterkunft ohne Entgegenkommen des Besitzers

Die Unterkunft wirkte lange nicht genutzt. Obwohl geputzt wurden, waren überall Spinnweben, tote Insekten und lebende Kakerlaken. Die dreckige Dusche und die dreckigen Handtücher haben wir deshalb nicht genutzt. Der Pool hatte zum Glück eine Außendusche und wir Handtücher dabei. Die fleckige Bettwäsche wurde immerhin gewechselt. Wir haben dann selbst geputzt, damit wir die 4 Tage dort bleiben konnten. Der Besitzer war in der Kommunikation freundlich. Seine Meinung, dass es sich dabei um Inselstandard handelt, teile ich nicht. Weder sahen andere Appartements der Anlage so aus, ich haben hierzu mit weiteren Gästen gesprochen, noch sahen andere der Unterkünfte auf Hawaii so aus. Wer trotzdem die Anlage nutzen will, sollte andere angebotene Appartements nutzen. Aus meiner Sicht wird hier Geld verdient, mit wenig Aufwand und ohne Verantwortung den Gästen gegenüber.

Could've been a 5

If I could, I would give this place a 3.5 only because I figure that the owners would fix all the problems. The location is great in that it is close to the beach and the pool. The lanai was a great place for the family to eat, gather together and visit. The view was spectacular. Unfortunately the inside was unexpectedly in disrepair. One screen blew into the house. There was a mouse in the kitchen on the last night we were there. And the washing machine was not draining. The only saving feature was the price, location and scenery.

Perfect for a couple or small family of 3

My husband & I absolutely loved staying at Tom & Diane’s condo! The beautiful ocean & palm tree views really sold me on their condo — it was so relaxing waking up to that view every morning :) Plus being in a bottom floor unit was important for my husband & I since we brought our 2 1/2 year old son with us, and wanted easy access to the lawn space :) I wish I could attach some of my photos to this review! :) The place was cozy and perfect for the 3 of us. It had everything we needed, and Tom was easy & wonderful to communicate with. We really appreciated everything and had the best time here! We definitely hope to stay there again on our next trip to Molokai :) Thanks Tom!

Paradise

This unit is great. This is my third time to this resort in Molokai and this unit has to be the best so far. The sunsets here are spectacular. You have a clear view of every sunset right to the very end. It's a corner unit so you only have neighbors on one side and above you. Tom is an excellent host. Anytime I had a question the response time was fast. The unit is equipped with everything you will need for a long time stay or a short one. Thank you, Tom, for the use of your unit. Mahalo Chuck

About the host

Hosted by Tom Cooper

Moved to Oahu's North Shore in 1978. Lived, worked and raised family there. Always loved to visit Molokai. Stayed at Sheraton's newly opened Kaluakoa Resort and Golf Course. Our favorite Molokai adventures were 1) the 2 mile secluded white sand Papohaku Beach on the West End, 2) the hike down the switchbacks of the 2,000' sea cliffs to Kalaupapa Leporsy Colony (now the Kalaupapa National Historical Park) and 3) a family wedding at the chapel in Halawa Valley/Bay. So now we've decided to spend retirement time in West Molokai and explore even more.

Why they chose this property

The first built and the closest to the ocean and natural beauty of West Molokai. Why take a back seat?

What makes this property unique

Molokai, the Friendly Island and most real Hawaiian. Secluded, remote, ancient history, natural beauty, least tourism of major Hawaiian Islands. If you visit here, you'll have stories to tell, that most others won't.
