Molokai Island Retreat with Ocean View and Pool!

Molokai Island Retreat with Ocean View and Pool! Overview

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to Molokai Island Retreat with Ocean View and Pool!, I’ll be honest — the name pretty much tells you everything you need to know. This three-star property in Kaunakakai doesn’t try to be something it’s not, and that’s exactly what makes it work. You’re getting a straightforward retreat that delivers on its promises: ocean views that’ll make you forget about checking your phone and a pool that’s perfect for those lazy afternoon moments.

The Setting

Kaunakakai isn’t exactly a bustling metropolis — it’s more like the kind of place where you actually hear the waves at night. The retreat sits in a spot where you can see the Pacific stretching out endlessly, and honestly, that view alone justifies the stay. What I found interesting is how couples seem to gravitate toward this place (the feedback backs this up), and I get why. There’s something about the quieter side of Molokai that just works for romantic getaways. You’re not fighting crowds for sunset photos or waiting in line for anything, really.

The Accommodation

My room had that ocean view they promise, and it wasn’t one of those “if you crane your neck and squint” situations either. The space felt comfortable without being fancy — think clean lines, decent furniture, and windows that actually open to let in that island breeze. The pool area became my go-to spot for morning coffee, mainly because you can watch the island wake up while the water stays perfectly still. It’s not a massive pool, but it doesn’t need to be when you’ve got the whole Pacific as your backdrop.

Local Flavor

Here’s what you should know about staying in Kaunakakai — you’re on the “friendly isle” for a reason. The town itself is small enough that you’ll recognize faces after a day or two, and there’s a local restaurant scene that focuses on fresh fish and island-grown ingredients. I mean, when you’re this close to the source, why wouldn’t you? The retreat’s location puts you within walking distance of some genuine local spots, not tourist traps. You’ll find yourself chatting with fishermen at the wharf and learning about island life from people who’ve lived it their whole lives.

Why Guests Love It

What strikes me about this place is how it gets the balance right between comfort and authenticity. You’re not staying in some sterile resort bubble — you’re actually experiencing Molokai. The recent guests who rated the location highly weren’t wrong; this spot gives you access to the real island while still providing the amenities you need for a proper vacation. The ocean view isn’t just pretty wallpaper; it’s your daily reminder that you’ve successfully escaped to somewhere special. And that pool? Well, it’s there when the Pacific feels a bit too vast and you want something more intimate for a sunset swim.
