We LOVE the lanai, the doors that open all around, the absolute QUIET, the turkeys, the monk seals, the coast!!! Thank you!!!

Great screened-in wrap-around lanai! Just as advertised and was very clean.

We love this unit. Have stayed here several times. However, the floor in the bathroom really needs to be replaced. Also, the drain in the bathroom sink was plugged up -- it took minutes to drain. The toilet water mechanism also needed to be toggled to get the toilet tank to fill up.

Avoid this unit! There is a gecko infestation and their feces is everywhere: kitchen cabinets, kitchen counters, bed linens...everywhere. Unhygienic at worst and shabby and unclean at best. Avoid!

The location of this property was nice. We enjoyed the peace and quiet of the Paniolo Hale property. We loved the pool. Our unit was comfortable, but we did have issues with the uninvited guests, e.g. cockroaches. Every day the kitchen counter below the skylight was covered in little “shavings” and tiny red ants. We appreciated the number of beach and bathroom towels available in the condo, as well as the provided cleaning supplies(washer and kitchen detergents, dish soap). Our unit lacked any beach chairs, which would have been handy for the times when we were reading books on the beach or tried to watch the sunset. Overall, we were pleased with our visit to Molokai.

Microwave no function. Garburater malfunction. Place was a pigsty. No help from owner, Vacasa agent nor VRBO. Wifi not provided at check-in. Roaches were healthy. No positive aspects other than surroundings.

Perfect vaca property for us! The unit was sufficiently stocked with day to day kitchen tools, linens, etc. and perfectly furnished to relax and listen to the sounds of the crashing waves! We found its location to be close enough to the town to drive in when we had a need or just wanted to go on an adventure. A rental car is recommended to get the most of this perfectly calm non touristic island! I highly recommend this however I wish not to tell a soul so that it stays as is!

I loved the wrap around screened in porch that you could relax on in the quiet shade. And the closeness of the beach.

Loved the airy doors that kept the place comfortable with giant Lenai, made it feel very spacious. A very nice place with beautiful ocean walks. Perfect in my mind.

We appreciated the clean bedding and comfortable bed and the accordion doors in the living room make it possible to enjoy the breeze blowing through the unit. We also appreciated being walking distance to the beach and a nice walking trail.
Unfortunately, the unit was not clean. The floors were filthy throughout so I swept the unit on our first day. There are lots of lizard droppings on the TV stand, cable box, and remote control. The full size stainless steel fridge has stains on it. The shower curtain is covered in mildew.
We paid close to $200 in cleaning fees so we expected the unit to be clean. To make matters laughable, the checkout instructions ask renters to take the sheets off the bed, take the trash out, and start a load of laundry (towels, I guess) in the washer (no detergent provided).

We were on Molokai for a wedding that took place at a neighboring complex. We choose this place to be a little separated from the wedding site and the other guests from out of town so we could relax and have a nice get away to ourselves. This condo was perfect. It's large lanai/screened in porch was wonderful and made the place seem larger. The lush landscape gave us privacy even being right on the parking lot. It is placed a short walk to the beaches which we enjoyed daily. Only complaints are the lighting especially in the bathroom, the cushions on the porch needed a good hosing off, and a broken? skylight that kept dropping debris onto the kitchen counter. All in all it was a wonderful stay and would recommend it to anyone wanting a nice quiet to stay on Molokai.

The location is great and the accommodations are good. We were disappointed with the cleanliness. Had to wipe all counters down, didn’t sweep but it was needed, the shower curtain was nasty moldy. Washed dishes before using, not trusting that they were clean.

This cottage is just as pictured. We fell in love with it. We have already booked for next year. The property manager, Vacasa, was extremely helpful, gracious, responsive and professional. Thank you so much!

We are so fortunate to have stayed here. One of the most beautiful units we’ve seen. We really enjoyed the screened-in lanai, surrounded by lush foliage. The bedroom was beautiful and the string of lights above the bed was delightful!

Paniolo Hale is a wonderful place, and we love going there. almost all of the condos available for vacation rental are a little funky, but this unit really isn't workable unless it addresses some major issues. First, there are no curtains, not even in the bedroom. because it's surrounded by road/parking on 3 sides, you can feel like you're in a fish bowl. We had to change clothes in the bathroom. Yes, there's a lot of screening plants, but when the groundskeepers are mowing the lawn a few feet from your bed, you'd really like a curtain. (The groundskeepers are very nice and respectful and do excellent work - but it would be nice to have more between us then the unspoken agreement not to look at each other.) There's also a bright streetlight right outside that glares right on your face when you're in the bed. Second, the unit is dark. there are so many plants around it that even during the day you need the lights on. But, the lighting is insufficient (I seriously needed a flashlight to read a book on the sofa), and relies on those cheap fluorescent bulbs that have both a really harsh glare and are also just not bright enough. Third, it says it sleeps 4 and is 1000+ sq ft. The bedroom is separated from the living area by folding doors, so there is little privacy from the rest of the unit. the 2nd bed option is an inflatable mattress, not a sofa bed as i had assumed. Given the inevitable bugs and general state of the floors, I really didn't want my kid sleeping on a mattress on the floor. There's also nowhere to put it, except the lanai, but the streetlight and lack of privacy made that a no go. The unit *might* be 1000 sq ft if you include the lanai. We made up a bed on the sofa. I would not recommend this unit for more than 2. Lastly, it just needs some updating for guests. E.g., the shower curtain was black with mold; there's some water damage in the bathroom in need of repair; the smoke detector had been removed; the sheets and towels are ancient; throw pillows were greasy with age and hard as rocks; there was an assistance chair for the bathroom taking up most of the space in the closet, leaving nowhere for our clothes or bags. There was very little provided - no soap for the dishwasher, no kitchen staples, not even salt, so make sure you get the basics at the grocery store before your stay. Vacasa staff was helpful and brought additional towels (the home had a grand total of 3 threadbare towels when we arrived) and dishwasher soap promptly. On the plus side, the home was fairly clean overall, and for Paniole Hale had very few bugs.

Wonderfully quiet place on the "slow" island. We loved the location near our favorite beaches and the place was very comfortable. We cooked pretty much all our meals at the place - everything you need to do that. Dishwasher was a little sketchy but they are repairing that machine. A good value for a restful time.

The wrap around screened in porch is wonderful. We had all the doors open to the ocean breeze day and night. Well stocked kitchen, beach towels and chairs available for our use. We loved our stay and would be happy to return

We loved the open air concept when all doors opened out to the screened lanai.

We normally stay with family on Molokai, but this trip was bittersweet as we celebrated the life we had with a dear family member. After spending time with ‘ohana, it was a treat to come back to a peaceful place and wake to the sound of birds and gentle breezes. Mahalo for a beautiful hale away from our home. We will be back. A hui hou and mahalo!

2nd time renter C-1 we love Molokai and come as much as we can, this is a great hidden gem of a spot! Hidden in the canopy of the trees, with a great breeze. Great for two people to feel at home and remember you go to Molokai to chill, walk, hike and sunset! Bring your food with you. Go to stay!

We had a great stay here. Communication was excellent before and during our stay. Management was very accommodating. A bit of a drive to town, but worth it for the location and access to a beautiful beach steps from the unit. The place has a very functional layout. The best feature was the wraparound lanai. Would definitely stay there again.

Very Hawaiian -Although you can hear the ocean yet not see it - it has a very tropical feel to it because of the decor and surrounding greenery.
House brings that all together.

This condo was a great get away from everyday life! The wrap around lanai is fabulous, wake up to birds chirping every morning and the complex that it is located in is beautiful. The condo could use some updating, overall very clean and Vacasa answered our request for additional items quickly!

While the location of this unit is tempting, we don't recommend booking. When we arrived, the unit looked like it had not been cleaned in months. The floors (both inside and on the lanai) were covered in dust, bugs, and lizard poop. The countertops and appliances and bug droppings everywhere and all of the furniture was covered in a layer of dust and debris. There were large dead cockaroaches scattered about and we spent the first hour of our vacation thoroughly cleaning the unit. After our stay we sent photos of the unit to the property manager requesting a refund of our cleaning fee and they suddently went radio silent. Definitely do not recommend booking this unit if you expect a clean place to stay.

This was an awesome unit that was spacious in the best ways. The wrap around screened porch and the sliding doors that lined two sides were the best parts. Comfy/clean bed. Kitchen with just the right amount of supplies. And such a short walk to the beautiful beach. Hope to stay here again.
