Escape to the quiet beauty of Molokai at this beautifully remodeled ground-floor condo in Ke Nani Kai. Nestled on the island’s peaceful west end, this inviting retreat offers sweeping ocean views, swaying palms, and easy access to some of Hawaii’s most stunning beaches. Step out onto your private lanai to enjoy morning coffee with ocean breezes or unwind at sunset after a day of island adventures.
Inside, the condo blends comfort and island charm with a bright open layout, updated finishes, stainless steel appliances, and cozy living spaces designed for relaxation. Guests will love the oversized seating, full kitchen, in-unit washer and dryer, and tranquil atmosphere that makes it easy to slow down and reconnect.
What's nearby: Ke Nani Kai is a lovely property located on the west side of the island of Molokai, with grounds that include a large outdoor swimming pool, a hot tub, two tennis courts, gas grills, lounge chairs for sunbathing, and tables for al fresco meals. It's about a five-minute walk down an access road to Kepuhi Beach, which is great for surfing in the winter months, ideal for swimming and snorkeling come summer, and the site of many paddle races to Oahu. You'll also be a short stroll across the old golf course from Papohaku Beach, one of the longest beaches in the state of Hawaii with waters that are rough in the winter but calmer for ocean swimming in summer. Ke Nani Kai is a half-mile stroll from Make Horse and its many tidepools, six miles northwest of the town of Maunaloa (the only town on the west end), and 19 miles west of Kaunakakai, where most grocery stores, art/gift shops, mini markets, restaurants, and equipment rentals are located.
This arid west side of Molokai, just 12 miles from the airport, is known for having less rain than the east side of the island. And the island-wide evening quiet hours make Molokai perfect for romance, families, solitude, and experiencing a glimpse of the real Hawaii away from the tourist crowds.

Tranquility away from chaos. Such a beautiful island.
It is where time stood still. The simple beauty of Moloka'i captures days gone by. You fly from the main airports from Mokulele Airlines and it is you have passed through a portal of nostalgia. Go to Molokai and stay here. Captivate the do it yourself nature of things. Aloha and Mahalo Moloka'i.
My husband and I enjoyed staying at this property! It was the perfect escape to relax and unwind. The place was quiet, clean, and very inviting. There was access to the beach, pool/ hot tub, and other amenties. The host was fantastic, and it was only a short ride to town. We look forward to our return to Moloaki in the future!

I love the peace and quiet.
You will love the tranquil setting. No noise except the moments you can concentrate on hearing you breath. Sea Air wafting through from the beach. The picturesque sunset. No need to turn on the TV. You do have internet. However just take the time in and soak in the stillness of the evening and gain peace from the outside hustle and bustle.

Liked: Location
Disliked: Cleanliness, communication
Property furniture( couch and two chairs) very stained and dirty. ( see photos) I reported to vacasa immediately. I also did not receive our pool code until two days into the stay after multiple phone calls, text messages. Bed was comfortable and clean, room smelled of mildew upon entering. Better once we opened up windows and got fans going.

Wonderful!
So comfortable and such a wonderful view. We have stayed in this unit before and will come back again. Thank you.
First off, we love the Ke Nani Kai resort and this is our second unit. We loved the fit and finish of this unit, a bit more like a vacation at a hotel.
It was exceptionally clean with a good bed. Pillows could be a bit better but were adequate. We also liked having access to the dishwasher, as the other unit did not have one.
It is on the ground floor with lovely garden views. The garden at the sides of the terrace could do with a little maintance and new plants. Another added touch would be cushions for the chairs and loungers - they are really hard after a while.
The resort is ultra quiet and beautifully landscaped. We truly enjoy coming here, and this unit did not disappoint.

Great Little Room
Perfect studio for a couple or small family. Nice view of the islands largest white sand beach from the lanai and perfect place to watch the stars at night. Kitchen was equipped with everything you need to cook almost any meal imaginable.
The room is spacious and well equipped for cooking. Beautiful view from the patio. Great place to slow down and relax, I would definitely this room again.
Arrived at the property after check in hours on Friday so we couldn't register to access pool area, but no problem getting into the unit with the lock box. The front desk doesn't open till noon on Saturdays, so again no access to the pool that morning. The unit is beautiful and the kitchen has most everything needed if you plan to cook. And, you may need to as there aren't any nearby eateries. Plan to bring food with you if you arrive to the island late as the grocery stores is a long drive away and will likely be closed. As beautiful as the unit is, the cleaners did not do a good job of preparing the unit. The floors were dusty and one of the screen doors had a huge tear at the bottom where critters can enter. Other than that, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. When we finally gained access to the pool, which is a short walk from the unit, there is also a jacuzzi and barbecue area. I'd rent this unit again and recommend to others.

The room is elegant yet still homey and inviting. The view out the picture windows are picturesque. To be able to see millions of stars each night before I slept was just breathtaking. Then to wake up in the morning to a beautiful sunrise and the sounds of the ocean where one would feel serenity you will enjoy just being able to breathe relax and live life. I know I did. Mahalo nui.
