Laid back Molokai beach-hideaway
About this house rental
One of the few Paniolo Hale units within steps to the beach! 2 Bedroom, 2 Bathroom, & Wrap Around Lanai with Ocean Views Our spacious, ocean-view townhouse is only steps from Kepuhi Beach. This 2000 sq ft townhouse feels more like a beach home with its generous living space, 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, single-bed/couch in living room, and wrap-around lanai. Our townhouse is a lovely space for two people who just want a little extra room, yet also large enough to accommodate up to 5 people with ample room to relax. Beautiful French doors open the entire downstairs up to a 500 sq. ft. screened lanai - the ultimate space for dining or just basking in the breeze and enjoying the spectacular views of Kaiaka Rock. This Paniolo Hale townhouse makes optimal use of the panoramic lanai views with an open-air floor plan. Our hale has a fully equipped kitchen including a dishwasher, refrigerator, ice-maker, filtered drinking water, oven, stove, microwave, coffee maker, blender, etc. Our townhouse is also equipped with a full-size washer and dryer for your convenience. Wake up every morning on a comfortable king-size bed to the gentle sea breeze through the open French doors. Breathe in the fresh ocean air and listen as Mother Nature pounds her waves onto the Kepuhi Beach. The downstairs bedroom has a King size bed and an adjoining full bathroom making for a convenient and comfortable stay. You’ll also find a comfortable Queen size bed upstairs plus a single bed, with amazing ocean and garden views. A full-size bathroom is also located directly adjacent to the upstairs bedroom. Our charming townhouse is nicely furnished with a dining table, living room seating area, and an extra pune'e (single bed/couch) in the living room. Paniolo Hale offers a beautiful pool & BBQ area for your enjoyment. Take a short walk North to Make Horse Beach, or venture only minutes south to Papohaku Beach, the longest white sand beach in Hawaii, where sometimes the only people on the beach are you. Molokai is known as 'The Friendly Isle.' It is also considered the most Hawaiian island. Literally, step back in time 50 years. You will not find traffic lights, elevators, malls, glitz, or nightlife here. If you're looking for a rural place for relaxation, snorkeling, beautiful ocean views, quiet beaches, and old Hawaii, you'll find it at our condo. Some say 'Only on Molokai', we say 'Always on Molokai’. Come visit and find out why.

The whole process was easy. Everything was great, the updated kitchen was perfect. I really appreciated the fragrance free laundry detergent and eco friendly soaps provided. the beds were comfortable, the view is awesome, and there is nothing like going to sleep listening to the ocean. I look forward to staying in your beautiful Hale again in the near future.

Everything was as advertised we had ever thing we needed. Only compaint was the downstair bed sheets where not clean, no big deal since we had a washer. The bedroom doors did not open as they where getting repaired. Over all we where very happy and it's a great location close to the ocean.

Hale was beautiful and spacious, covered lanai with many places to sit or hang out expended living room and bedroom. Hale had everything we could think of and much more. Beautiful landscaping surrounded the whole complex and it was so close to the beach. Tracy and Nalani were super hosts, they responded quickly and were very accommodating. Nice appliances, fridge with filtered water and ice was very appreciated. We enjoyed our stay and would love to come back! Thank you for sharing your hale with us. Mahalo nui loa

We loved the wrap around porch! It’s all screened in so we could leave the doors open all night and hear the ocean.

The hale (house) was beautiful and well-equipped with a lovely lanai (veranda). It was a short walk to two beautiful beaches. The kitchen had everything and more that you could need, and there were great “extras” in the closets - beach chairs, umbrella, snorkel equipment.
The stay was peaceful and restful. The hosts replied quickly to any concerns that we had. I would highly recommend this property!

Everything we could imagine was provided in the house. The screen-in covered porch on two sides opened to inside with floor to ceiling bifold doors. The porch offered a choice of chairs or hammock and was a great place to relax with sound of surf or even gentle rain. We ate all our meals on the porch.

We felt very fortunate to have found this beautiful place to stay on the island of Molokai! Tracy and Nalani were excellent hosts, and their bright and airy 'Hale' is incredibly well equipped, and situated in lush surroundings, with the sounds of the ocean and many tropical birds a constant in the background. Molokai is very laid back, and not a typical Hawaiian tourist destination, but we loved the slower pace of life and found that we were never bored. A rental car is vital, as distances between services are considerable, but there's plenty to see and do, and we enjoyed exploring. In all, this was a wonderful getaway from Canadian winter, and Paniolo Hale is very highly recommended as an exceptional vrbo property.

This is an oasis on the dry, western coast of Molokai. The condo does not directly face the beach, but it’s only a one-minute walk to some beautiful ocean scenes. It was quiet and relaxing! The lanai or porch is screened-in so the living area is open and airy. There were plenty of kitchen tools and appliances to make your meals perfect. The upstairs bedroom was a bit warmer because not all the windows opened, but there were two ceiling vents and fan. We REALLY enjoyed the spacious, relaxing condo and Tracy has done a great job in making it a perfect vacation setting.

The condo was near the beach. There were lot of things for the beach: chairs, umbrella, cooler, etc. In the kitchen we had everything to prepare the meals and lot of dinnerware.
The first day, it was really hot, too hot, not able to sleep in the upstair room. Should open the condo at least 12 hours before our arrival. No air conditioner so it's hot. But at night, it's not so bad. The blinds upstair really need to be cleaned.
Everything was as expected. We appreciated the things in the fridge left by people who rented before us, so we left lot of stock also.
Thanks to the owners, we'll surely be back someday.

Very nice stay!
My family of 5 (2 adults, 3 teenagers) had a very good time visiting Molokai and staying at this property. The complex is nicely landscaped and we enjoyed the tropical foliage around the unit. The lanai was beautiful and we spent time relaxing there. A short walk brought us to a beautiful beach and amazing sunsets. We could not always get in the water at the close beach due to strong surf but found plenty of opportunities to swim at other places - other beaches and the complex pool. The kitchen had most everything you need to cook. Chefs may want to bring their own knives. The main town is about 30 minutes away so stock up with groceries and enjoy the solitude of the west side of the island. The unit had a few minor maintenance issues that weren't a big deal - leaky sink, some lizards/bugs, but nothing major. It was a bit hot inside during the day in July, especially upstairs, but cooled off at night. If you've never been to Molokai, I highly recommend a visit but do your homework first since there are few stores and restaurants and operating hours are short. The unit and the island itself were great places to get away and relax - few people, beautiful scenery!

Incredible secluded location. The doors that open up to the screened in porch were wonderful even though a few of them were out of service. No AC but it was never needed. The beach accessories such as the wagon were very useful while exploring the nearby empty beaches. We would certainly visit again.

We enjoyed walking to the beach every day. The lanai is amazing; waking up to the birds singing and the waves crashing was awesome. The home is well stocked and the grounds are lovely. Molokai is indeed a special place. We hope to come back soon! 🏝🌅🌺

Absolutely beautiful!
Staying at Paniolo Hale was perfect! It’s a lush tropical oasis in the middle of a desert. We loved everything about our stay. Gorgeous sunsets, fabulous star gazing, empty beaches, a wonderful tropical breeze, and a BEAUTIFUL home that had everything we needed…it was perfect! We can’t wait to go back!

Primo Westside Condo
Great unit with everything we needed and more. Paniolo Hale is the best place to stay on the Westside and this unit is in a great location near the beaches. All you hear is the waves crashing at night...and no chickens waking you up in the morning like the east side of island. :)

Our stay in unit E2 of Paniolo Hale was wonderful. Spacious and well appointed, the unit became even larger when the huge folding doors are opened to the wrap-around screened porch that has a two-person hammock, lounge chairs and sitting areas. The smell of eucalyptus from the lanai is as soothing as the winds that traverse the unit due to its unique positioning. It is extremely quiet at night and the grounds are well maintained.
Venturing out, the ocean is a two minute walk from the unit. During the day we saw a breaching humpback whale and an endangered Hawaiian monk seal right out front. Sunsets were spectacular. The nearby beaches are majestic and private. The west end of Molokai is quiet and remote which lent itself to a perfect get-away!

Tracy was wonderful to work with. They answered every question that I had right away. They were very thorough in their explanations. They even answered right away during our visiting time.
The Hale was perfect for our boys. There was plenty of space for everyone to sleep and lounge. We loved having 2 full baths. The kitchen had everything we needed. The short walks to the beach were lovely. We hiked on the trails. We saw a seal on kaluakoi beach everyday. The grounds are beautiful with so many beautiful plants and fruit trees. It was a mini paradise inside of a paradise. Thank you for sharing your Hale with us.
