Molokai home base
Review Submitted: November 11, 2011
Date of Stay: November 2011
We stayed for a few nights in the off-peak and used the condo as "base camp" to explore the island as first-time visitors to Molokai. I picked this unit, as it appeared to have been nicely renovated (something to consider, as most condos on Molokai are a little older). We were very happy with the overall unit and enjoyed our stay. The bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchen areas appeared newly renovated and were very comfortable. Tim's interior design finishes made this feel more like a nice hotel room vs just a standard condo. The distant views out the living room to 3 mile beach were fantastic.
The proximity to the west coast beaches were excellent for either a short walk or 5 minute drive. Getting over to the other parts of the island was easy and our location provide a scenic drive when we were coming and going.
While we spent most of our time traveling around and exploring the island, I would say the only item that could be improved in the unit is updating the TV....
I would certainly recommend this unit as a place to enjoy Molokai for couples and even small families. Since it is a ground floor unit, that is something that you have to consider when selecting the unit... tradeoff is being able to leave windows open while you are our vs being able to walk right out on to the expansive lawn....
While visiting, we did the mule ride down to Kalaupapa (the former Leper colony), a trip worth taking if you don't have any back or height issues. The adventure and history elements are a great way to spend a day. If you rent a smaller car, I would also recommend the drive to the East end of the Island. Halawa Valley is a beautiful contrast to the West Coast.
