About this property

‘Aloha Kai’ Oceanfront on Molokai, Top Floor, Modern, Peaceful Comfort, Pool

Feel at home the moment you step into A311, our recently remodeled condo, Aloha Kai. Look right as you enter the front door and you’ll instantly see why you came to Molokai—the stunning view across the ocean channel of neighbor islands Maui, Kaho’olawe and Lana’i. Palms swaying just off your lanai, the ocean lapping the shore a mere 50 feet away, and the sounds of tropical birds welcome you to your island experience. Perfectly located on the top floor of A Building, Aloha Kai (A311) provides a wonderful place to land in this Hawaiian paradise (even if there are no elevators on Molokai, it's worth the ascent from the parking lot).

Inside you’ll find all the comforts of home (and then some). Included is a fully appointed living room with two modern recliners, a 43” 4K HD TV (with cable/internet, blu-ray dvd player, and an additional HDMI/USB connections for other devices), plenty of comfortable seating, and a sweet little secretary desk. There’s a fully-equipped modern kitchen complete with current appliances and cookware, blender and coffee maker (even a separate USB charging station!). The bathroom offers a soothing rain shower head in the private bath apart from a separate vanity area. In the bedroom is a king size Leesa Legend hybrid memory-foam bed, a large closet and plenty of dresser storage. Blackout curtains on the windows afford full privacy; louvered windows allow in the refreshing trade winds (and a gorgeous view of the mountains above).

Outside is 5 acres of well-kept tropical landscape which includes a large oceanfront pool (with huge cabana and gas BBQ’s). An extensive lawn invites you to stroll alongside one of the ancient fish ponds on Molokai, while several benches allow you to leisurely catch the stunning sunrises and sunsets by yourself or with others. During whale season in the winter months, there can be some spectacular viewing right from the lanai. (We've provided binoculars.)

And that’s just Wavecrest! The rest of Molokai awaits—from the swimming and snorkeling beaches scattered along the way to the east end and Halawa Valley (with its waterfalls, guided cultural hikes and more—check their website) to heading back to Kaunakakai (with its local businesses, farmers market and craftspeople) and past it to the west end (with Hawaii’s longest white sand beach, Papohaku). And in between, there’s a lot to see and do here on this Friendly Isle (more recently called the Most Hawaiian Island). For more info, check Visit Molokai (usual website ending).

With its quiet relaxation and unique activities, Molokai offers a one-of-a-kind place to vacation. We’re happy to share Aloha Kai as the perfect place to land or launch forth as you enjoy all this island has to offer!

One important note: you will need to fly Mokulele Airlines to get to Molokai since ferry service has ceased. They have limited (but very scenic!) flights from Maui and Oahu, so please book your flights when arranging your stay here.

Best view in Hawaii!

We had a great time staying at Aloha Kai. Both the sunrises and sunsets were stunning. We could have sat on the lanai and looked at that view forever. But we also enjoyed a fantastic snorkel trip and dive trip with Tim at Molokai Fish and dive. The coral is the best we’ve seen in Hawaii. Also hung out with an eagle ray, a couple of sea turtles, and 2 octopuses. Very cool! The Guava ribs from the Cookhouse were excellent, as well as the fish at Ono Fish food truck and the burgers at Molokai Burger. Also picked up some great produce at Kamu Farms. The condo is beautifully decorated and has absolutely everything you need. It was a real treat to stay here! Mahalo!

Paradise on Molokai!

My wife and I had visited Hawaii several times but had never visited Molokai. This condo toward the east end of the Island had fantastic views across the channel of Maui and Lanai. We saw and heard whales breaching in the channel! A perfect place for a couples get-away and great location for exploring the entire island. The hosts were extremely helpful with directions and planning our visit. Molokai is known as the "Friendly" Island and with no traffic or streetlights, it has a very laid back "vibe" to it. We hope to go back again one day!

A piece of paradise

Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us. The view from the lanai was absolutely stunning. The condo was clean, comfortable & so quiet! Loved the GAS range, (most are electric) the oven plays music when it’s ready & has a blue interior. We stayed inside for a couple of days due to the storm. Heavy rain, wind, thunder & lightning, at least it wasn’t cold. We relaxed & enjoyed every minute.

Excellent stay in Molokai!

We had an excellent time celebrating our wedding anniversary on Molokai. The condo has a great view of then ocean which made for amazing views of the whales breaching from the water! Don and Katherine were great hosts, very good communication. Very quiet and relaxed setting with everything we needed for our weeks stay. The pool area was very clean and quiet, we enjoyed relaxing here in the afternoons. Condo is close to some nice beaches on the East side of the island, and the historic Hālawa Valley. A short 20 min drive into town, and approximately 40 min drive to the West Island beaches. We wish we could have stayed longer, would love to stay here again! Mahalo Don and Katherine!

Nicest place to stay on the Island

This was a very nice place to stay on Molokai. The condo suited all our needs. Oceanview incredible. Decorated very nicely. Would definitely stay again. Owners were easy to communicate with. No problems. Did not have to communicate with property management people. Grounds were lovely and kept up well. People living there friendly. Nice pool.

Warm, Welcoming, Perfect!

Katherine and Don’s place was more than we could have expected…the photographs and descriptions are terrific, but do not do it justice. Calm, beautiful, and immaculate. First, the location is absolutely lovely. It’s 12 miles/30 minutes from the main town. Very quiet and just gorgeous. We really loved the east end! (We headed over to the west end for a day and the beaches do go on for miles. For us however, it didn’t have the charm, including the accommodations.) Second, they thought of everything to make our stay delightful. The condo is immaculate and no detail forgotten. (In fact, we took photographs of several things they had in the kitchen so we could purchase them when we got home!) Just loved being on the top floor and right on the water… Building A is awesome! These folks also thought of what you might need for your adventures… binoculars, beach bags, chairs, and towels, as well as snorkels. They were also accommodating when our flights kept changing. (The one "airline" which flies to Molokai is something else…they changed our flights so many times that we got the impression that they just fly when they want to ha ha…prepare to be flexible :-) Besides relaxing at the condo, we thoroughly enjoyed the Halawa Valley guided hike, Mass at Our Lady of Seven Sorrows, sunset dinner at Hotel Molokai, mile 20 beach...and respectfully exploring this very special place. We did happen to hit unusually windy and wet weather but still enjoyed ourselves. Would love to come back to sunshine and a light breeze and will absolutely try and stay here again…Thank you Don and Katherine!

Luxury lanai on Moloka'i

Loved our 1 week stay here at Wavecrest A311. The condo is spotless, up to date, comfy bed, super complete cute kitchen, and the lanai is amazing. We had meals on the lanai, evening drinks, and I read in the comfy lanai lounge chair. We also enjoyed the resort amenities and played pickleball, swam in the pool, used the outdoor grills, and did laundry. We appreciated the lawn chairs, speedy wifi, and beach towels the owners provided. Honestly the most complete vrbo kitchen I have ever seen. Thank you for a most relaxing week!

Aloha,
We (Katherine and Don) are semi-retired (teacher and pastor) and take great pleasure in offering hospitality. It is our hope that those who visit our island home will find the peace and beauty that we so enjoy here.
E komo mai (Welcome!)

Why they chose this property

Our family has loved these Hawaiian islands for four generations. When we rediscovered Molokai a few years ago, we were smitten by the warmth of the people and the simple beauty of this island. Then we discovered this peaceful spot (Wavecrest) right on the ocean and fell in love with it. It's a wonderful place to rest, renew and relax. You can also be as active as you like! We love sharing it with others. There's a local saying: "Don't try to change Molokai—let Molokai change you."

What makes this property unique

Wavecrest specifically is one-of-a-kind in the islands—a beautiful place along this Hawaiian shoreline far removed from the hectic hustle of the rest of the world. While it doesn't offer the traditional vacation bustle of other places, it DOES offer what vacationers long for most—the relaxation of a far-away place with all the amenities to satisfy.
