Aloha and welcome to Molokai Island Retreat!

Molokai Island Retreat is located on the highly desirable lush east end of Molokai (We are not on Maui) in the Wavecrest Resort. Our condo has the benefit of having a bird's eye view of both the ocean, with stunning views all the way to Maui, and the beautifully manicured gardens of Wavecrest. With the fantastic location on the third floor, you have the added bonus of complete privacy and no overhead noise from the guests above. Wavecrest is close to spectacular beaches, hiking and waterfalls. It is a beautiful, scenic 13 mi drive from the town of Kaunakakai.

We have just recently remodeled our condo with updated kitchen cabinets, fresh paint, brand new ceiling fans, new decor, new Keurig coffee pot, linens and more, making it feel and look like a brand new condo!

We are able to provide an exceptional experience by owning and hosting our condo personally, along with our island rep who is available should any need arise. We are not a property management company or a large corporation. We want each and every one of our guests to have a fantastic stay with all the comforts of home available to you.

We have furnished our condo with all you will need for a fun and relaxing stay: Cooler, Beach Chairs, Beach Towels, Sunbrella, Boogie Board, noodles, goggles and snorkeling gear.

We also provide extra amenities you may have left behind, such as razors, toothbrushes and toothpaste.

Features a fully stocked kitchen with combo pod/coffee maker, grinder, Brita filter, microwave, spices, condiments and oils.

Relaxing on the lanai with the picturesque views of the ocean and coconut trees swaying in the breeze is one of our favorite things to do. You can also spend a carefree afternoon swimming in the oceanfront pool, playing a game of tennis/pickleball and shuffle board, or hanging out in the cabana. If you want to kickback for a bit in the condo, you can enjoy Netflix on the flat screen TV. If you need to spend some time working, we provide High Speed Spectrum wireless.

A paid washer and dryer is just outside the unit (takes coins or credit cards). Please note: We are a third-floor (top) condo with stair access only. There are no elevators at the resort.

First off this place is beautiful! From the decor to the view, it feels like vacation while also having the comforts of home. The keurig coffee maker was amazing and all the little amenities made it that much more special. Cari was awesome, and so easy to communicate with. She was so accommodating when I needed to make a change to my booking and answered all my endless questions. It sleeps 4 people comfortably and the sofa couch was probably the most comfortable sofa couch I’ve ever slept on! Will DEFINITELY be recommending this place to friends and family and will stay here again!

An amazing stay!
Our accommodations at Wavecrest were excellent. The condo was very comfortable and clean with a well-stocked kitchen and everything you could need for a day at the beach. The views from the lanai were so beautiful. We enjoyed having our fresh fruit and coffee outside while watching the sunrise each morning. We highly recommend Kumu farms for fresh produce and the bakery for the freah bread baked at night! The grounds were in fantastic condition and the pool area was rarely busy. We saw a lot of whales from the little beach right in front of the condo. Cari was responsive with any questions we had and provided several good recommendations for food and locations that helped us a lot! Molokai truly blew us away with its friendly people and laid back vibe, and we couldn’t have asked for a better location for our stay. I can’t recommend this condo enough for your time on the island!

Awesome stay
We, 2 adults and 2 kids, loved to spend time in this very well-equipped apartment! It corresponds to the pictures. Especially the Lanai is wonderful, spacious and had the most comfortable chairs we had in our holidays on Hawaii (we visited a few islands). The pool at the property is also wonderful and not very crowded. In a few minutes by car you can have a lovely lunch at Manae Goods & Grindz and after that a cosy stay at the George Murphy Beachpark with the complimentary beach gear from the apartment! The rest of the island has beautiful nature, views and a lot of corners to discover! Although a few residents on Molokai present signs at the street that they don’t like to have visitors we felt very welcome and had nice conversations with locals! Be respectful with the people, the nature and live Aloha than you can expect the best time of your life! Thanks a lot, Cari and Joe! You were lovely hosts!!!

Cari
Owner
Hi, my name is Cari, and my boyfriend, Joe, and I love to travel, meet new friends and explore new places. My family and I have been visiting the Hawaiian Islands for over 20 years, and now finally get to call this beautiful spot in Molokai our part-time home. We love the culture, the people and, of course, the weather!

We live full time on the central coast of California, and between the two of us we have 5 children and 3 grandchildren!

We are new to hosting and are excited to "meet" you and welcome you to our condo. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions you may have on the area or the condo. I love to interact with our guests and make your stay as enjoyable as possible.

Happy travels!
Cari and Joe
