A serene retreat with ocean views of Papohaku Beach, Kepuhi Beach (southside) + legendary Kaiaka Rock. This coveted corner unit at the end of the complex has no neighboring condos in sight so you enjoy maximum privacy & peace PLUS a larger wraparound lanai, more windows & doors for added natural light & better enjoyment of those island breezes. Tasteful remodel w/ 18' porcelain floor tile, custom-accented porcelain countertops & shower, KraftMaid maple kitchen cabinetry, tropical-style ceiling fans, quality fixtures, & more. Decorated in quality island-inspired furnishings including a Natuzzi leather sectional, Bali bedroom set, rattan dining set w/woven banana leaf chairs, dual-layered drapery w/sheers.
The king sized mattress is new, as are all of the linens in the unit.
Ke Nani Kai has the best pool complex on the island, with a large pool deck area with new outdoor furniture, and a large spa. There is also a covered picnic area with a gas grill to prepare meals at. Next to this area are the tennis courts. This is the only group of condos that have tennis and pickleball courts on this side of the island.
Speaking about "this side of the island", it is the West side. This is where you want to be. Everyone knows this is the driest and sunniest part of the island, with the longest white sand beaches within walking distance of the condo. You will often find yourself with the beach being your own, or shared by the lucky few. Summer time is particularly beautiful at the beach, as the ocean is generally calm, with varying shades of blue and aqua green. In the winter, the other parts of the island often get showers, while the West side remains sunny and dry, with a constant cooling trade wind.
Come and experience an island of little change, retaining its Hawaiian culture as seen in everyday life. People are reserved, but very friendly, once you reach out to them with a smile, and the traditional greeting of "aloha". There are only 7,000 residents here, on an island over 40 miles in length. There is little traffic, and certainly no sense of being crowded. There is not even one traffic light, because there is no traffic to control! The main town of Kaunakakai is about 25 minutes away, where you find two large grocery stores, a wine and liquor store, two banks, two gas stations, two hardware stores, and an amazing ice cream shop.
There is a Saturday market here featuring flowers, food, crafts, and music.
There is a wonderful organic farm, Kumu Farms, which has a fruit, vegetables, flowers, local island beef products, as well as imported pastas and sauces.
There is a livestock cooperative, open to the public, offering all cuts of grass fed local beef, at very reasonable prices.
Sunday afternoons behind the highschool, local kupuna (elder members of the community) play their favorite music, often joined by others who have their own ukulele, and know how to play it! A fun time is had by all, and it is a gathering place for all of the people on the island.
There are large areas of primitive forest and coastline that are preserved and cared for by the Nature Conservancy. They provide guided tours which offer views of things that you will only find on Molokai.
There is a cultural hike through ancient taro fields, on the picturesque East end of the island. Here you walk thorough forest and stream, until you reach the multi-tiered Halawa Falls.
Molokai is also home to the longest and ...

Scott's place on the west coast of Molokai is awesome. You can see the beach while doing the dishes, enjoy a constant breeze, beach chairs, a fully stocked kitchen, comfy king size bed, and terrific snorkeling a short walk to Horse Make Beach in the summer. The lanai was the chill spot we needed to unwind and remember who we are. Much Aloha and deep Mahalo Scott and Ali!!!

Booked at the last minute so didn’t have many choices, so would rate as adequate. End property, but farther away from parking and grill area which isn’t a big issue. However, it is close to the road and street lights. No traffic at night, but starts about 6:00am. Silverware needs replacing and knives need to be taken into a professional sharpener. Having said that, we think Ke Nani Kai is the best resort on the Island.

Unfortunately I sent my boys as I became ill at vacation time. They enjoyed it though!

This place is all we could have imagined and more. Being an end unit, it gives privacy, great cross breezes and beautiful views of both the sunrise and sunset. We loved the ocean views and watching the surf. We found it to be clean and well equipped with everything we could have needed, including beach towels & chairs, WiFi with smart TV, washer and dryer, comfortable king bed and an impressive kitchen. We loved the location, near Kepuhi and Papohaku Beaches and Molokai Ranch. We were treated daily by “wild” turkeys and nightly by Axis deer. The grounds are beautifully well kept; the pool and spa very nice and uncrowded. It gave us the quiet, ‘Old Hawaii’ experience we were looking for, with all the modern luxuries. We highly recommend this condo and hope to stay there again.
