About this property

The Ultimate Oceanfront Penthouse - 'Hale No Ka Oi'

There's nothing else like it! Some will say it’s 'awesome', others have called it 'amazing', the Hawaiians would say 'no ka ‘oi' (the best).

Hale No Ka ’Oi is simply the best home away from home you will find on Molokai and perhaps anywhere in the Hawaiian Islands. This is a top floor suite with stunning views over the ocean to the island of Lanai. This is a heavenly, restful retreat for the mind and body. The ideal central location of this condo is convenient, allowing you to avoid those long 45 minute trips to the east or west ends of the island.

Just a short drive from the airport and only minutes into town. The perfect central location on Molokai if you want to enjoy the white sand beaches of the west end or the lush, rugged east end.

An oasis of luxury awaits you with the blending of rich, Brazilian cherry and gleaming marble floors. The bathroom is almost sinful with its oversized, dual head, marble and glass shower and double sinks. The cherry kitchen is exquisite with granite counter tops and premium stainless steel appliances and equipped to please even the most discriminating chef.

Everything inside is absolute 'top notch', including the finest linens, house wares, electronics and European leather furnishings. This is not one of those condos that still sports 20+ year-old rattan furniture.
This is the 'Ultimate In Accommodations'.

The Master bedroom features a Cal King bed with direct access to the bath. The large loft bedroom features a Queen bed, leather loveseat and absolute privacy. The custom engineered, stainless steel, spiral staircase is a work of art by a German craftsman, Josef Linzen. Whether you are two, three or four, you will love this place. The perfect location for your honeymoon, anniversary or for any other excuse you can find!

The property is impeccably maintained and there is a large oceanfront pool. There are BBQ grills for your fresh fish or your favorite steak.

Activities abound on Molokai. This truly is nature’s playground. Kayak miles of pristine reefs, take a guided hike into the tropical beauty of the Halawa valley with its magnificent waterfall, take a journey down to historic Kalaupapa, or explore miles of nearly deserted white sand beaches. This is the Hawaii of yesterday, a refreshing step back in time.

Best of all, you will meet the people of Molokai and come to understand why it’s called 'The Friendly Isle'. Walk into town on a Saturday and see the vendors with their sidewalk displays of crafts, art, fruits and vegetables.

The weather is perfect. The days are sublime and your mind will relax on island time!

Magic of Molokai

Property is old as most everything is on Molokai. Well maintained and was as described by the owner. Well equipped, clean and quiet. Pool and grounds were well kept and a great place to visit and hang out. Molokai is not for everyone however if you enjoy solitude and slow pace it hits the spot. Locals were very friendly. You give a smile and you get a smile.

Perfect place for Molokai

We were amazed at how nice this condo was. Straight on view over green grass, palm trees, and the ocean. The kitchen had everything we needed and the beds were comfortable. It’s located mid-island so trips to either side of the island were brief and the main town is just a few minutes away. The communication with Chad was near instantaneous. Easy check in. Molokai is great place if you want to unwind, be away from hoards of tourists, but still enjoy Hawai’i.

Great unit, modern look & amazing view!

Enjoyed ourselves at this unit while on Molokai. Unit looked to be recently renovated and had a nice modern look to it. Had everything we needed for use on our trip. Check in was easy and the view from the balcony was always a bonus. Great sunsets and listening to the water just a very short distance away. Great communications with the manager or owner and i wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. Thanks!

Lovely location and condo

We really enjoyed our stay. The location is right in town and an easy drive to everywhere we went. The condo is clean and we enjoyed the shuffleboard, pool and mini golf on the beautiful grounds. The host is great and provides everything you may need in the condo to get you started. He also provided great recommendations for groceries, etc. Molokai is beautiful and we highly recommend hiking in Waimea Valley to the waterfall. Our favorite beaches were Murphy beach and Kepuhi beach. The Kalaupapa lookout is beautiful and we enjoyed making leis at the Plumeria farm.

Wonderful location- some unexpected issues

This is a lovely place on the water - but two issues were real. One is that it is right next to a hostile neighbor who has a sign on his door that has a picture on the door of a pair of eyes that says they are " watching you" and you should use your "f##ing mask" ( this greeted us as we were climbing up the three flights). And also the upper bedroom is so warm that we considered it unusable so we were in the lower bedroom which was cool and comfortable. The upper bedroom also has a winding staircase down to the only bedroom- something we didn't want to try in the middle of the night. But good points- quiet place, pool was never crowded- gorgeous location right before the water- easy parking. So I give it a very good- and there are not , I should mention, many good places to rent on the island. "But if you are there for getaway quiet and a beautiful view and an untouristed island, this might be for you.

Perfect Place to Stay on Molokai

The Hale No Ka Oi was exactly as described on VRBO, and the owner, Chad, couldn't have been more helpful. He responded almost immediately to all of my "tourist" questions before we arrived, and gave us good directions to a couple of hikes we wanted to do. I ended up calling him when we got to the end of one road and found a locked gate and several "No Trespassing" signs on the hike to the Mo'omomi Preserve. I don't know what time it was where Chad was located, but he answered immediately and cheerfully confirmed that we were OK to go past the gate. The preserve was absolutely beautiful and well worth the effort. The condo was very clean, the grounds at Molokai Shores are very well-maintained, and it's very convenient to town, as well as the west and east sides of the island. The laundry room had five washers and dryers, so there was never an issue waiting for someone else to empty their laundry. It was hot every day we were there, but between the ocean breeze and ceiling fans in the condo, it was never uncomfortable. The lanai looks directly on the ocean, we had a great view of the sunset every night. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our stay, and hope to return next year.

Nicest Condo on Molokai

First time to Molokai after 20years of visiting the other islands. It was a blast to the past—in so many ways the island is clearly 20 years behind the civilized world. Not a stoplight on the island, many roads turn to dirt without warning, no air conditioning in the condo, sketchy cell coverage (at best) around the island, pay phones and an airport without TSA.The condo was exactly as described online and the property manager was very responsive to when a couple little things came up. We appreciated the thoughtful setup such as providing condiments in the kitchen and beach gear for days out at the ocean. There are many repeat visitors at the Molokai Shores resort—people who come back every year for decades. That makes for easy conversation around the pool or when grilling for dinner. Pro tip:stop at Costco in Maui or Honolulu before heading over to pickup meat and dairy for the stay and you’ll come out way ahead cost-wise. You don’t have to go through TSA to catch the commuter plane so liquids are OK as long as you don’t go over weight limits.

About the host

Hosted by Chad Slayton

Aloha, I'm Chad Slayton, the owner of Hale No Ka Oi. (Molokai Shores 330). I manage the rentals for several properties in Hawaii, but this one is my personal part-time home.

Why they chose this property

Molokai is unlike anywhere else in Hawaii, and owning an ocean front 'piece' of it was a dream come true.

What makes this property unique

As you can see by the pictures, this unit went through an 'extreme' renovation, and there are no other condos like it in this resort. The view are incredible, and you'll be in one of the most upscale rental homes, the island has to offer.
