I greatly enjoyed my stay at Rose and Patrice’s place. It’s nicely decorated and matches the photos in the profile, however, the view is even more spectacular in-person (especially the sunsets given the location on the west end of the island). Easy walk down to the beach with several other beaches within walking distance too, and they’re almost always empty. Also lots of trails in the area if you’re looking to go trail running or hiking. The unit is part of a compound that was formerly a resort and some of the buildings are abandoned and dilapidated but the grounds/landscaping is still well maintained. Patrice and Rose have everything you need to cook (there’s also a couple of gas grills right in front of the unit) and there’s a small cooler, boogey board, beach chairs, and snorkel gear. I was also able to rent their vehicle for my stay which was convenient considering there’s only one rental car company on the island. Patrice was very quick to respond whenever I reached out about anything.
Molokai is different from the other islands in that there’s very little development and almost everything (gas stations, stores, restaurants) is located in Kaunakakai, the main town, which is about a 30 minute drive away. There is one store on the complex grounds but the offerings are quite limited. I really enjoyed the sense of remoteness and tranquility but those looking for more of a scene in the way of luaus, charter tours, lots of restaurant options, and a more tourist friendly experience may want to consider a different island. Molokai is a unique place and if you think you want to give it a try, I would definitely recommend Rose and Patrice’s unit.
