1BR+Loft - Mel's Hale at Molokai Shores

Aloha, I am a Molokai ohana owner with roots to the island. I grew up performing Hawaiian mele and Hula to the patients of Kalaupapa. My kupuna still live in Molokai. The Hawaiian Isle of Molokai will take you back to a simpler, traditional way of life, a hidden gem untouched by mass tourism. This rural island is home to superlative wonders – including the world’s tallest sea cliffs & Hawai’i’s longest continuous fringing reef. The space Molokai Shores 314 is a condo located on the third floor (via staircase) that offers memorable views of the ocean. It has views of the Ancient Fishpond, islands Lanai, and Maui in the backdrop.

Additionally, guests will have access to a series of shared amenities that include an outdoor pool (including a kiddie pool), BBQ grills with picnic tables, shuffleboard, putting green, coin laundry, florist, and hairdresser. Unit has no A/C but the tradewinds on the island make the unit breezy. It can get cold at night during the winter months.

Nearly all the island’s eateries and stores are in or close to Kaunakakai. Highway 470 crosses the center of the island, rising to the top of the sea cliffs and the Kalaupapa overlook. At the base of the cliffs is Kalaupapa National Historical Park, a top attraction. • Kalaupapa Peninsula. The most remote area in the entire Hawaiian Islands is accessible only by air, on foot, or on a mule. It’s a place of stunning beauty with a tragic history. Note: Kalaupapa trail is currently closed until further notice. • East Molokai. The scenic drive on Route 450 around this undeveloped area, also called the east end, passes through the green pastures of Puu O Hoku Ranch and climaxes with a descent into Halawa Valley. As you continue east, the road becomes increasingly narrow and the island ever more lush. Mahalo, Melodie & Ohana Registration Details 540020130046, TA-121-991-3216-01
