About this apartment rental
Wake on the top floor to whitewater, trade winds, and a long view across the channel toward Lanai and Maui. This one-bedroom Molokai Shores condo sleeps four, making it an easy fit for a small family that wants to trade busy resort days for Molokai's quieter rhythm. From the lanai, you can look over the ancient fishponds, watch the winter whale activity, and linger over sunrise before driving two miles to Kaunakakai for supplies, local cafés, and island errands. Spend the afternoon at the shared outdoor pool, then use the community grills for dinner and take in the sunset colors from the grounds. A kitchen, laundry access, and WiFi make longer, slower stays simple. This is a true pause button for guests who want ocean air, room in the day, and a meaningful view from morning to night.
The Space:
High on the third floor, this one-bedroom condo sleeps four and opens to whitewater views toward Lanai and Maui, with the ancient fishponds in the distance. The lanai catches channel trade winds and gives winter whale watching a natural seat. Inside, bamboo flooring, stainless steel appliances, tiled baths, WiFi, and laundry access keep the stay comfortably practical.
Guest Access:
Guests at Molokai Shores in Kaunakakai enjoy access to a shared communal pool and beach access. The oceanfront setting is a relaxed place to return to after exploring Molokai.
The Neighborhood:
Kaunakakai is Molokai's small, low-key main town, where the day moves to the pace of the island rather than a resort schedule. From Molokai Shores, it is about two miles to groceries, local shops, casual restaurants, and the long Kaunakakai Wharf. The south shore's fishponds tell a much older story of island life, while drives east and west lead to quiet beaches and wide-open coastal views. Come here for fishing, slow mornings, sunset color over the channel, and a Hawaiʻi that still feels wonderfully uncrowded.
Getting Around:
Kaunakakai is Molokai's main town, about 10 to 15 minutes from Molokai Airport. A rental car is recommended since the island is spread out, though the town center itself is walkable, with local shops, the harbor, and casual eateries within easy reach on foot. Beaches and the scenic east end are a further drive away. Parking is simple and uncrowded, matching the relaxed, unhurried pace of this quiet island.
Other Things to Note:
Please note: Molokai is a separate island from Maui and is only accessible by plane. There is no operating ferry, though a ferry website remains online and taking payments; do not attempt to book a ferry. This property is managed by Heavenly Vacations. A mandatory $30 check-in/resort fee will be assessed.
