I spent 10 amazing days at Patrice and Rose's little corner of paradise. If you really want to 'get away from it all', in the best possible way, you'd hard pressed to do much better.

This was my first trip to Molokai (though my 4th to Hawaii) and I was taken with just how much this island is a trip back in time. I suspect anyone seriously looking at Molokai already knows this, but if you are looking for resorts and tons of tourist activities, this probably isn't your island. However, if you want to experience an unhurried pace, natural beauty and able opportunities to explore, you'll find it here...most often without another person in sight.

The best aspect of the condo is you really feel at home, and everything you need is there and easy to find. The unit is exactly as described and photographed - the loft sleeping area, well stocked kitchen, comfortable living room and spacious lanai were all well utilized. Patrice and Rose are excellent hosts and if you have any questions, you can expect a speedy reply.

The main town is about 40 minutes away, so plan accordingly. However, if you need supplies, the town of Maunaloa has a small market about 15 minutes away, and there is a small convenience store in the complex where the unit is located. As pointed out elsewhere, half of this development used to be a resort managed by Sheraton. While long shuttered, the rest of the property is well maintained.

Bottom line: I highly recommend Patrice and Rose's condo and would stay here again if I have the opportunity.
