The Condo
Clean, nicely appointed and maintained. Cable TV and a nice pool for when you’ve had enough of the beaches. We had a really good time here and it was a good value.
Beaches
It's close to several beaches that are really nice and not crowded. The best beach we found was secluded and just to the north - follow the concrete path past one point and you’ll see it. One caveat is the trees by the beach have long thorns. Bring water shoes and be aware. The condo has beach towels and a washer and dryer available which made beach days easy and fun.
Sustenance
As of 7/21, there are no dining options on this side of the island. So plan to make a trip to Friendly Market Center in Kaunakakai for groceries(15 miles east). There are a few restaurants in town, the best of which is Ohana Grill located east in Hotel Molokai - make reservations. There is a small general/convenience store pretty close to the condo, but it has few options.
Activities
- Molokai Fish and Dive provided a nice snorkeling experience.
- The short hikes to Kalaupapa Lookout and Phallic Rock were good and the views are nice. Sadly, the hike/mule ride down to Kalaupapa peninsula was shut down as of 7/21.
- I highly recomend making reservations and the trip to the east end of the island for the hike/cultural experience to Halawa Falls http://halawavalleymolokai.com/
- Post-a-nut - send your friends a decorated coconut in the mail - its fun!
Other
We enjoyed daily visits by local wild turkeys and peacocks. Its usually windy here so if you have kids, bring a kite. There is a kite shop in Mauna Loa but they are too fancy/expensive for the wind here.
