We liked the cabin and especially the ocean view with the beautiful sunrise and sunsets. The abandoned golf course did not add to the view as well as the red dirt blowing off the course. The age of the cabin (built in 1974 and no upgrades) is beginning to show. The thing we noticed right away was the smoke-carbon monoxide detector was completely missing in the living room (as required by law). See pic. The appliances are relatively new. The first couple of days, the gecko's were in control, but after they realized we were there to stay, they gave up and went elsewhere. With no screens and no AC we had the doors open 24-7 and the dirt flew in. We have been in the property management business for over 60 years and we would want to do some upgrades to this property to make it more hospitable. An ADA suggestion for older clients would be a grab bar in the shower and one near the toilet. Also a few more wash clothes and bath towels would be helpful and less use of the washing machine. A suggestion, a small grocery cart or wagon would be very useful in carrying groceries and garbage to and from the parking area. We have stayed on Molokai 3 other times at Molokai Shores and Wave Crest but never in Kaluakoi. We ate at the restaurant at the Sheraton several times when it was open. It was so hard to see the facilities all boarded up and falling down. Thanks for letting us use your cabin. Allen and Roxann Summers

I hate to leave a bad review, I’ve never done so before, but I feel I have to share our experience. This unit is extremely rustic. It looked like it had been cleaned but then maybe no one had stayed in it for months? There were droppings all over the bed and pillows (gecko?), the night stands were covered with dirt and droppings, the bath towels had bird poop on them and there were giant dead moths in the bathroom the size of small bats. We can rough it but it just felt too dirty! My husband and I chose to leave and book somewhere else. It’s an old property, pretty location, but just very rundown and to get airflow you have to leave all the doors open. The host was nice. We did not communicate the issues, just left b/c we only had a few days to enjoy Molokai and it was a stressful situation. The host was nice and communicated when we did reach out before we got to the condo.

Wonderful place to relax and see nature in its fullest. We enjoyed seeing the beauty of the cottage and its location to the beach is fantastic.

Overall, the condo was fine, beautiful views from the lanai. There were lots of seasonings for cooking, but there weren't many pots and pans. Everything in the condo is original, but that doesn't bother me. My only complaint is the listing shows there is a hot tub, There is NO HOT TUB. Unfortunately, my husband has some back/shoulder issues, and he loves to sit in a hot tub daily. This definitely affected our trip. I hope VRBO gets the listing corrected so no one else books it thinking they can relax in a hot tub!!

We enjoyed our stay and the property very much. There are a few issues with the pool area and another property concern that consider certain areas trespassing. How a one time guest is to know these rules is a mystery to me.

We truly enjoyed our stay on the west side of Molokai. The accommodations were great and the views were spectacular. We would definitely recommend this property to anyone.

We loved this condo! The location is excellent with a beautiful ocean view. Super close to the pool and to the little store, just steps away from the beach. It was clean and spacious, perfect for a family of four. We appreciated the king size bed and all the kitchen supplies! The kitchen and pantry was very well stocked. We especially enjoyed having meals outside on the lanai watching whales playing in the ocean. Thank you for such an amazing stay!

We stayed for more than a week and enjoyed staying there, it was very affordable, it is in very original condition, Its Molokai, so it is acceptable! it has great sunset views and plenty of ocean breezes! Owner is wonderful and easy to communicate with.

Unblocked view of the ocean, easy access to parking, west side beaches (if you dare), great wildlife viewing from the lanai. Go to Molokai to unwind and not have anything on the to-do list. This unit not only had great cooking facilities, but a lot of spices, sauces and basics to carry through any oversight at the grocery. Our host was quick to respond and provided info on a local car rental. Best experience in the three trips we've had to this island.

This is our 8th or 9th trip to Molokai all spent staying on the west end. We love the units, specially the cottages along the old golf course. The unit was clean, well equipped and provided incredible sunset views. It’s a great walking place and a great pool. What more could we ask for!! Molokai is not commercialized so if you want a true Hawaiian experience this is your island.

This is one of our favorite vacations.
The cottage is beautifully situated with an extraordinary view of the beach and ocean. Miles of paths for walking or bicycle, Molokai is the perfect place to decompress and relax.
Recent upgrades with new appliances, furniture and floors enhanced an already perfect experience.
Highly recommended.
We will be back next year!

The area was great and location in the complex was fantastic front row ocean views. We really liked that it had a great beach within a few hundred foot walk and that the very un-populated 3 mile beach was only a mile or so away. There were a couple of things inside of the unit though that were a little disappointing. The first impression when opening the door was a delaminated, dirty ceiling fan in the living room and the kitchen countertop was in poor condition. After that, noticed that there was spider webs, poop (from lizards/spiders? ) and just generally unclean at baseboards and floors along the walls & cabinets. There are also resident lizards that like to poop on the bedding. It's not really surprising because there are gaps at the doorways that the bugs can enter, so of course there would be geckos there too. Asking folks in the community, I understand that is the way a lot of older places are in Hawaii, I was just not really comfortable to wake up the first morning to poop in my hair and on my pillow😔I would go there again because the location was great, but would take a pop-up tent to sleep in. It didn't trouble my husband, he slept fine.
Everything else in the unit though was good and it was nice to have a full kitchen, washer/dryer, beach items to use, etc.
I don't want to discourage people from going to this one, just if you're a bit squeamish like me, be prepared to what you will find inside.

This was our second time to Molokai and the condo was excellent. Very nice sunsets from the lanai and quiet.
Everything worked perfectly and appliances have recently been upgraded and clean. Would definitely come back in the future.

We had a nice relaxing stay. Unit had everything we needed, except the tv was not working, and was to be replaced. But being on Molokai did make things a little difficult, and we did not get the replacement durning our stay which would have been nice. Location as perfect. Hoping to return to Molokai in the future.

We’ll priced and fully stocked with all essentials you need to enjoy a stay in the paradise of Molokai.
This unit is roomy, has a wonderful shower, nice tropical themed furniture, and a lovely spacious patio that has a full on view of a vast slice of ocean. You will enjoy sunsets over the southern tip of Oahu.
The owner was very responsive to our inquiries.

For those of you who don't know Moloka'i, it is not like any of the other islands in Hawaii. The locals do NOT want tourists, development of the island, or people moving there. If you go to Moloka'i, get your groceries and enjoy the peace and quiet at the cottage.
On this visit, no restaurant was opened for dining. This was fine because we expected it, but it may be an issue for anyone who isnt prepared. Additionally, groceries are incredibly expensive (bag of doritos, normal bag size, $10.95). The selections are slim at the stores, and they close VERY early. Plan ahead.
The cottage was very nice and is in an amazing location with an epic view from the lanai. There is a pool right on the ocean where you can swim, all while watching waves crash onto the rocks just yards away at sunset.
Remember you are on a remote island. There are geckos all over and the occasional roach. Not much you can do about these on the island. During our stay, the first thing we saw was that the microwave was not operational, neither was the wifi. Microwave was not an issue, but the wifi made remote work impossible (no cell service or land line available at the property). When I messaged the owner he said, "not sure what to tell you, keep trying." Wifi never worked.
We did very much enjoy the relaxation that comes with being completely unplugged. It was rejuvenating. I will definitely come back again, but I will be better prepared.

We had an amazing time at this beautiful place in Molokai! Amazing, unobstructed sunset ocean views with all the amenities needed for a simple stay on an unbusy island. Multiple beaches and tide pool areas within walking distance. This was our 3rd time to Molokai and always stay on the West Side, but this was our first time in this unit. Mahalo for sharing your piece of paradise with us!

Molokai is known for being Old Hawaii and this rental suits that perfectly. It's a little outdated and just sufficient. No extras and nothing really spectacular except the location. We were very close to all the best spots on the west end.

This cottage seemed big with a separate bedroom and the high ceilings adding to the spaciousness. The view to the beach and ocean is beautiful with great sunsets. Several beaches within walking distance. Washer and dryer in the unit is a nice feature. It’s 19 miles into town with the two grocery stores so plan your list and get groceries after arriving at the airport.
We would stay again.

Absolutely stunning little cottage On the beach with ocean views from the living room and bedroom. Watching a sunset on the ocean is absolutely spectacular. We drove around the entire island and decided this was definitely the most beautiful area to have booked. At least 30 deers ran through as we were sitting on the lanai.

this is the second time we stayed at this location. We just love it. I don't understand the bad reviews, OK, the lighting could be a bit brighter in the kitchen, but otherwise it was perfect. This is Molaki'i. If you are expecting fabulous accommodations i suggest you go to O'ahu or Maui.
the location is perfect for seeing the ocean and especially for watching the beautiful Hawai'ian sunsets. A totally unobstructed view. we would definitely stay here again.

This is our 4th stay at 6B. It keeps getting better! New floors, furniture, washer and dryer… it has probably the best location at Kephui Resort!
The beaches remain peaceful and mostly empty with the most amazing sunsets we’ve ever seen. Long walks on beaches with Monk Seals sunning and maybe a turtle are the norm.
People are friendly and helpful.
Be sure to go to Kumus for fresh fruit and veggies. It’s on your way to town. If you happen to arrive on Sunday, no grocery stores and all restaurants EXCEPT the wonderful Pizza shop are closed. Expect a line!
If you are looking for quiet, peace, rejuvenation and old Hawaii you will love Molokai. It has become our reset in a crazy world.

The inside of the unit was disappointing it appeared somewhat neglected. There were several major stains on the carpet, the main desk bureau had crooked drawers that did NOT close. The electric oven coil was broken. We could not use the oven but were able to use the broiler (thank goodness). The sofa bed was broken (Though the owner did give us $60.00 off on the total price)
The unit location was far from parking and the area to dump rubbish was far from the unit
I feel this unit was misrepresented. The photo listed had 2 hammocks on the lanai. But there were NO hammocks
The next door unit had active construction going on so the weekdays weren't quite a quiet as we would have liked it to be
I would NOT rent this unit again
Though admittedly the view was beautiful

The property could be a fantastic place if adequately maintained. Unfortunately, we found the cottage dirty and worn. We never expected a luxury place, and we liked the vintage atmosphere. However, after a couple of days, we found that the home was deeply infested with cockroaches. I woke up with dark grains on my pillow and between my hair one morning. I searched on the internet and found that the black spots were roach droppings. Another day I found the feces accompanied by a cockroach's wing. It was the confirmation of the nature of the grains. My wife and I couldn't sleep from the trauma. We cleaned the bed several times but found it covered again and again with roach droppings. We killed a dozen roaches during our six-day stay, even in the pantry near the food. We moved our bed and found that the old carpet was covered with dead bugs and feces. I collected all the photos and sent them to VRBO. I talked with four different agents, and they fooled me by saying they were investigating and I would need to wait. I have contacted the owner but never got any reply. Besides the ruined holidays, we took a considerable health risk sleeping on a bed infested with cockroach feces. I found that roaches could carry bacteria that can cause severe sickness. We would have expected prompt and efficient handling of this bad situation from VRBO due to the health implications, but it didn't happen. The owner probably will reply that there is no infestation in the apartment. The photos we took during our stay prove the number of bugs killed and show their droppings on our pillows. There is also another fact that proves the infestation. One day my wife was alone in the house, and suddenly a man entered the apartment with his key. She was scared and surprised, and the man replied that he had come to disinfest the place from the cockroaches. This happened before we contacted the owner to explain our problem, and it is proof that the owner was already aware of the infestation. I waited three weeks to write this review. I tried in vain to get an answer from VRBO and the property manager. I was expecting an apology or, even better, partial reimbursement of our stay because our holidays in Molokai have been ruined. This never happened, so I want to make sure that other guests are aware of the apartment's conditions before they proceed with the booking. Unfortunately, I cannot attach photos here, but believe me…we felt like being in a horror movie!

I wish there had been a faucet or shower outside that worked ( no handle on the spigots) or instructions for how to get sand off our feet/shoes before coming in. The place would be much cleaner ( and drains in better shape) if one could easily rinse off sand before coming in. We felt sad to see such a once-lovely place slowly deteriorating. The nearby crumbling hotel and various buildings in disrepair are very sad to see. Too bad investors in the hotel project were not committed to long-term care of the land and place.

The property is located at the very nice location with a gorgeous sunset view, most of amenities included. Check-in and out were very easy with a guidance in the owner’s note. When we arrived, however, the rooms were dusty with red sand (molokai’s sand flew by wind). We needed to wipe and vacuum. Soap and/or shampoo were not there so visitors need to carry theirs. no hammock was available. Except these, our stay was excellent. We thank to owner a lot.
One last note we saw many nests of wasp (~10) at the lanai. Owner may contact to the maintenance

I have been going to Molokai twice a year for several years. I always stay at Kepuhi Beach Resort because of it's close proximity to the best beaches and it's simply beautiful! The property is well maintained. The complex staff are very friendly. Even though it is a bit remote I have always felt safe and comfortable with 24 hour security.
I have stayed in other units at the resort, but Michael's "beach cabin" is by far my favorite and I always book with him. Michael will tell you the unit needs some updating and "refreshing". Don't expect designer furnishings, granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances. What you will find is a very comfortable living environment with all the necessary items for your stay. Michael has continued to upgrade as necessary including new bathroom and kitchen faucets and a new big screen TV.
The unit and it's location are the big selling factors! Unlike most of the units at KBR which are two-story, eight unit buildings, the "cabins" are single-story, two unit buildings. The cabins were the exclusive, "high-end" units in the resort, at the edge of the old golf course. They are the closest to the beach with unobstructed views. The location provides most privacy and least noise from nearby residents. The unit adjacent to 6B has never been occupied in all the times I have been there. And the view...it is to die for!

Cottage 6B was the third cottage we have stayed in at Kaluakoi over the last 5 years.
It is in a great location, the gas BBQ is a wonderful convenience and the pool was a pleasant 5 min stroll along the path. We had wonderful sunsets, warm breezy nights and enjoyed waking up to a heard of grazing deer under a crescent moon one night!
The cottage is vintage, we enjoy this aspect - it keeps things easy.
We love the pool and the beaches, it's very relaxing. Thanks so much for providing us with another great base to make more Molokai memories.

While the resort looks like something out of "Lost," that is the beauty of staying here. The long beaches were gorgeous and empty and we even saw a monk seal sunning itself one day. The pool was clean and lovely and I gained so much respect for the people of this island who refuse to let it become commercial.
The cottage itself was definitely old and not top of the line (but check out the price!!!!) I stayed with my 2 boys and it was perfect (and no bed bugs). If you are looking for a fancy romantic getaway, this may not be for you, but my 2 children and I had a blast on the beach, exploring Kaunakakai, going to the overlook, and grilling fresh mahi.(My 10 year old slept on the pull out sofa bed and I slept with my 7 year old in the comfy king size bed in the bedroom. There were only 4 towels so maybe you will want to bring your own. But this was offset by how amazing Mike (the owner) was when I had questions about how things worked (like the shower).
This place is a gem.

Hi
We enjoyed our stay at your Kepuhi Beach Cottage. The sunsets were amazing and the sound of the surf lulled us to sleep each night. Every thing was in order, we liked the attention to detail, such as the reading lights, extra hangers , comfortable lanai furniture and the good WIFI. The Grounds are nicely kept and your neighbors are very friendly. We especially enjoyed the fragrant flowers by your front door.
Thank you
PS The grass-fed meat from the Molokai Livestock Cooperative was great so we made good use of the Grill in front of your place.

The walk out lanai to a green lawn gives extra expanse to this roomy 1br. This unit is clean and well-appointed. Easy for us to spend time here enjoying the ocean. Very nicely tiled bath and well equipped kitchen. Meals on the lanai right by the ocean. Sounds of the surf at night. We used the king size bed and fold-out sofa for three nites. Were there in mid October and had no problems. Very nice sleeping with surf sounds and cool breeze. It can get cool in the early morning, so the extra bed linens and covers supplied come in handy. You will need a car, only a sundries shop nearby. But once you are stocked with supplies you will not want to leave.
