There is a place in the world where time seems to have stopped, where simplicity rules, where peace of mind can be found. Welcome to Molokai, the most Hawaiian of all the islands.
Here on Molokai, one can’t help but be allured by the ruggedness of the world’s largest sea cliffs towering above crystal clear, turquoise waters, or the gentle stretches of untamed beaches, including the second longest beach in Hawaii.
Take a leisurely drive, hike or ride a pack animal through misty rainforests, to the silvery waterfalls, or through royal coconut groves. Watch out for the wild spotted deer, Molokai is a place where authenticity reigns supreme, the only main island in which native Hawaiians are the majority - only 7,000 people live on the island. You will find a warm welcome and friendly conversation among the locals and delight in their stories reaching generations back. See how National Geographic rated it #6 out of 111 islands in an article as it was published in the November/December 2006 issue of National Geographic Traveler Read Article.
Come discover this little corner of the planet and lose yourself in its splendid beauty…or perhaps more accurately, find yourself.
Paniolo Hale is an intimate cluster of condominiums located on the sunset rich west end of Molokai. Densely landscaped and quietly private, the grounds are a tropical garden. The sounds of chirping birds, whistling trade winds and ocean waves will carry you into tranquility. Truly a place of seclusion at its best.
Our two-bedroom end unit, with 1900 square feet, sleeps six, is newly decorated and enjoys garden and partial ocean views. Completely redecorated and furnished, the two-level, two bedroom, two bath condo features a downstairs living room with stereo/CD player, cable television and VCR/DVD player with movies, dining room, a large lanai wrapping completely around two sides, fully equipped kitchen, a downstairs bedroom with two double beds and TV, and full bath. Upstairs is a spacious master bedroom with king-size bed, TV, full master bath and private sundeck. A pull out sofa downstairs can accommodate extra guests. All linens are furnished, as well as boogey boards, snorkel equipment, and beach mats and other amenities.
Within the grounds of Paniolo Hale is an inviting swimming pool, an outdoor shower, and several outdoor grills and dining areas. Unfortunately the Kaluakoi golf course that is directly adjacent to Paniolo Hale has closed along with the Molokai Ranch Hotel. The picturesque shoreline is just steps away where you can enjoy the solitude of the many sugar-sand beaches, including Hawaii’s second longest sand beach, and the breathtaking sunset views famous to the islands....

Internet connection very sketchy even after moving to different areas of house. Sporadic incoming messages and email every few hours beginning at 5:30pm until midnight.
Upstairs shower had no hot water.
Also no instructions for complicated tv.
So due to no WiFi we were cut off from everything.
Other than that we enjoyed celebrating 82yo birthday . It is not a place for seniors.
Mahalo !

The Hale was large and gave the four of us plenty of space. It was clean and had plenty of amenities to make it an easy stay. The beds were comfortable and had a proper kitchen with all that you need .

This trip was perfect. The location of the house was about 25 min from town but had a kitchen to cook in and great space for hanging out. The beach is a quick walk and everyone was so friendly. I wouldn't have changed a thing. We have kids ranging from 8-14 and everyone loved it.

Needs airing out regularly as it was very musty-smelling. After opening all windows & doors for several days, it was much better. Enjoyed our stay.

Condo located in beautifully landscaped and tended complex. It has a very clean and nice swimming area. Folks there were very friendly and the whole place very quiet. The beach is about a 5 minute walk down a slight hill. The unit was nice but slightly dated. It has a wonderful lanai that wraps around 2 sides and is fully screened. A few things like fans only worked at one speed (full speed) and lights (a couple would not come on). The beds were good and the bathrooms very roomy. The upper unit got quite warm in the heat of the day but cooled down enough for sleeping. All in all we enjoyed our stay and enjoyed staying at this unit. The owner was very helpful and responsive.

We have rented in this complex before and enjoyed both times. If you seek a laid back relaxing vacation this hits the spot. This unit was well equipped . I love to cook and the kitchen had everything. When we went on outings there were beach chairs, coolers and other extras that we took along.. The unit itself is close to many beaches which you can walk to, but we also loaded up our rental vehicle when exploring the island. We would recommend this unit to everyone seeking excellent accomodation on an island that seems frozen in time.

B building has the best location for trade winds wonderfully ventilating this unit and feeling removed from the others. Being an end unit is also a plus. Great pool, frequently all to ourselves, well done paintings of fish on the bottom giving the illusion that they're there. The first floor has a one step level change which might be trouble for some people. The maintenance of this unit is not up to what I've seen in other VRBO units: needs painting, some doors need repairs or replacing, the main bedroom closet was piled with stuff that I had to remove just to be able to hang things in it, one smoke detector out of three looks functional, switches for lights and fans are very hard to know what's what. I've owned rentals, so I always care about maintenance. Your past reviews are very positive, so visitors do love being there, that's always good to hear about Hawai'i and Molokai'i.
