If You’re Looking for Fine Dining and High ROI – Don’t Buy This Property!
This ocean view $219,000 studio is for those who want to get away from it all…disconnect, cook dinner at home, read a book and go to sleep early. If you are looking for fancy restaurants and a popular vacation rental to maximize your “Return on Investment” this is not the place for you! The Island of Molokai has a population of 7,400 people and, while residents are friendly and welcoming to those looking for more of an authentic experience, they are opposed to big development and large-scale tourism like cruise ships.
This is Kepuhi Beach Resort. Yes, this is an ocean view, fee simple, vacation rentable condo, fully furnished and ready to go in Hawaii listed under $220,000. This is an upstairs, corner studio with high ceilings at the West Molokai Resort (now called Kepuhi Beach Resort) on the Island of Molokai. Click here for details.

This studio has extra louvered windows on the N side to capture the trade wind breezes. Imagine spending the day on the empty white sand beaches out front looking for shells, making sand castles, fishing, swimming or in the winter months, surfing. Rinse off in the ocean view pool and stroll back to your studio to unwind and sip a margarita on your covered lanai overlooking green gardens and palm trees with views of the white sandy Kepuhi Beach and the iconic Kaiaka rock.
Or take your steak down to the community barbecue area where you might meet up with a couple of fellow travelers who will be glad to talk story. Take the scenic eight-seater prop plane from Honolulu or Maui, passing by the stunning 4,000 ft high Molokai cliffs, considered the tallest in the world. Then get ready to unplug because on this island, things are really laid back. No traffic lights. No crowds. Be ready to prepare dinner in your fully equipped kitchen with granite countertops, play a game of cards and get ready for a peaceful night of sleep on the murphy bed.
In the morning, stroll down to the beach and stop by the sundry store on your way for a cold POG. Markets, stores and airport 15 minutes away. Internet access available in the area, but don’t tell anyone, and just unplug for a few days. Interested and want to know more? Go to Kepuhi Beach 17B07 for more information.
