You can't beat the views and privacy from 5A!
Perfectly situated on the lot, with picture-perfect views of sunsets, Kaiaka rock, and Oahu.

Your cottage has a new kitchen (January 2023) and offers amazing natural light and sense of space from 3 walls of windows/doors and 20 foot vaulted ceilings. You can view the ocean from bed or sitting down from nearly every spot in the cottage.

You will have miles and miles of hiking trails and beaches just outside your door! Papohakubeach is nearly 3 miles long and you may find that you have it all to yourself. We love to walk over to Make Horse beach every morning to enjoy our coffee. Again, you don't have to go far!

Depending on the time of year, you may see whales breaching right from the sofa or the lanai. You will see turkey strolling across the lawn almost daily. It's good fun and some days it's hard to find a reason to leave the cottage!

The pool is nice-sized, super clean, and refreshing. It also has stunning panoramic oceans views. There are several showers outside to rinse off after a trip to the beach. The beach is very swimmable all summer with lots of sand however it is not recommended in the winter months due to higher surf, less sand and more rock exposed.

Privacy is exceptional in this cottage. With the exception of 5 B, there are no immediate neighbors, with good space between you and the nearest buildings on all sides. There are no buildings between 5A and the ocean, just a clear view to the water!

The cottages stand apart from the other units available here at Kepuhi Beach Resort. The 1 bedroom and studio buildings have 8 to 12 units per building. The cottage buildings are unique as they only have 2 units, with no one above. This allows for much more privacy, peace and quiet.

Parking for 5A is in the lowest lot, just past security to the left. No hills to descend (or climb) with your groceries and gear!

There is a small convenience shop (Da Store) here at the resort that offers some groceries, including snacks, and basic necessities. Although there is no alcohol sold here, it is open 7 days a week. A larger variety of groceries is available in Kuanakaki. By the way, there is no nightlife here.

Please note there are no AC units here in the condos at Kepuhi Beach Resort. Windows and doors are often open and you are almost guaranteed to see geckos inside as well as other bugs here and there. You will also have some dust get inside due to the trade winds.

The trade-off is the view, the pristine and private beaches, never-ending hiking, and a feeling that you are truly in old Hawaii. If this isn't the right fit for you, no worries, a high-rise in Maui is close by! But for those who are curious to experience this wonderful island, or others who are returning, we welcome you to paradise and one of the best-kept secrets in the islands.


A few tips for your stay:

For groceries you can swing by the local grocery in Kaunakakai just after you land. It’s only 5 or 6 miles from the airport. The grocery is “Friendly’s” and they are closed on Sundays, open till 6pm other days. There is a small convenience shop on location at the resort (Da Store) open 7 days a week 9-5. They have more than you’d expect (no alcohol) but your main shopping should be done in town.
If you like to eat out we would recommend Hotel Molokai, it’s close to town (Kaunakakai). The restaurant is the only waterfront dining on Molokai and they have a good spicy poke plate or the catch of the day with veggies is always fantastic!
You’ll find the best beaches on Molokai all within walking distance from the cottage (west side of Molokai) including Make Horse beach, our favorite. 4 beaches are near the cottage.
One of the best views in Molokai is a very easy to drive and only a 2 min walk (all paved) from the parking lot! It’s Kalaupapa Lookout. We usually see it a few times every visit. It’s only about 10 minutes out of your way if you are headed to Kaunakakai for anything. Phallic Rock trail is also accessible from the same parking area and is maybe a half mile hike or so, pretty easy and an interesting story.
The pool is open from sunrise to sunset 7 days a week and has amazing sunset views!

    What a wonderful place to stay! We were looking to just relax for our anniversary and Molokai was the place. This property was very clean, kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed for cooking and even a few things to store leftovers in. There were plenty of towels for showers and beach and the furniture was comfortable inside and out. The only thing missing was bath soap, so bring your own or buy some when you arrive. Condo owner was quick to answer questions and offered advice for things to see, where to shop for groceries, beaches to go to, etc. This unit was perfect for catching gorgeous sunsets and several beaches (we had almost every beach to ourselves) were within walking distance. We saw monk seals resting on the beach just north of the condo. Always wear footwear until you hit the sand on the beaches as the trees here drop branches and twigs with thorns (1/4 - 1/2) that will penetrate even your shoes or sandals. This unit was nicely positioned on the property. Molokai has had less rainfall recently so the land on the ocean side of the condo is no longer green but the other areas around the condo are well maintained and green. The two plumeria trees right outside the back doors were blooming and provided a wonderful smell all day and night! We would stay here again! Thank you to the owners!

    Absolutely stunning location. The property was clean and spacious. The views were beautiful. Easy access to the beach. The store located on the property had all the essentials. The host communicated all the information in a timely manner, was very friendly, and provided tips for our stay. We would love to come back for another stay.

    Like previous guests, I want to be selfish and keep this place to ourselves! :) The cottage was absolutely everything we needed. Perfect location, all the amenities we needed, and serenely quiet. It was like we had the resort almost all to ourselves. Our hosts gave clear instructions on everything, responded for one quick question, and even gave us a ton of extra Info about exploring the island. We definitely hope to come back again!

    Charming, yet up to date accommodation with a beautiful view of the beach and great sunsets. We had the use of towels, chairs and an umbrella for the beach. Mynas and wild turkeys were there to greet us during the day and deer at night. We loved having meals on the lanai and the beach was just steps away. We even saw a seal sunning himself on the beach! Jeff was very available during our stay and always responsive. Thanks, Jeff, for being a great host!

    By far the nicest VRBO unit we have ever stayed in. The quiet location of the cottage, unobstructed views and the lanai made for the perfect spot to watch the ocean whether in the morning for breakfast or in the evening for sunset. The unit is equipped with all of the essentials you need for the perfect beach vacation. Jeff was super responsive to any questions we had. Highly recommend his cottage! We can’t wait to return!

    We have stayed at this property twice and will stay here again. It is situated in the perfect spot. It has been recently renovated and is laid out well, and is well appointed.

    Beautiful ocean front location, very short walk to the ocean or pool. Remote location (easy half-hour from town). Quiet and peaceful. There is a well-stocked convenience store on property. House is very well stocked, everything we needed and more. Jeff is a terrific host, thoughtful and VERY responsive. We will stay there again!

    My husband I came here to unplug, relax, and appreciate the views. We had beautiful views of the ocean, access to the pool, and relative privacy. It was fantastic. The bed was a bit uncomfortable but I did not take off any stars for that. It is probably hard/expensive to get a premium bed on Molokai. It was more comfortable than the bed we slept on on the other side of the island... so if you are coming to Molokai you probably can't find a better place.

    We had a great stay at Jeff's unit. Communication with him prior to our arrival was excellent and he provided a lot of information prior to our arrival. Self check was easy and unit was clean. Full kitchen with washer/drier and high speed internet was a big plus. Unobstructed ocean view from the patio made it hard to leave. We put our 9 year old on the pull out sofa bed which worked out great. Excellent BBQ grill 100ft away. The whole complex used to be an oceanfront hotel so many buildings are boarded up and we saw very few people which is a big plus. Pool was nice, clean, and most always it was just us. Even though this is a duplex unit and we did have someone next door, we never saw or could hear them....very private. I recommend Jeff's unit if you are looking to get away from people and enjoy empty beaches with fantastic nightly sunsets.
