Oceanfront Cottage 5A You can't beat the views and privacy from 5A!Perfectly situated on the lot, with picture-perfect views of sunsets, Kaiaka rock, and Oahu. Your cottage has a new kitchen (January 2023) and offers amazing natural light and sense of space from 3 walls of windows/doors and 20 foot vaulted ceilings. You can view the ocean from bed or sitting down from nearly every spot in the cottage. You will have miles and miles of hiking trails and beaches just outside your door! Papohaku beach is nearly 3 miles long and you may find that you have it all to yourself. We love to walk over to Make Horse beach every morning to enjoy our coffee. Again, you don't have to go far!Depending on the time of year, you may see whales breaching right from the sofa or the lanai. You will see turkey strolling across the lawn almost daily. It's good fun and some days it's hard to find a reason to leave the cottage!The pool is nice-sized, super clean, and refreshing. It also has stunning panoramic oceans views. There are several showers outside to rinse off after a trip to the beach. The beach is very swimmable all summer with lots of sand however it is not recommended in the winter months due to higher surf, less sand and more rock exposed.Privacy is exceptional in this cottage. With the exception of 5 B, there are no immediate neighbors, with good space between you and the nearest buildings on all sides. There are no buildings between 5A and the ocean, just a clear view to the water! The cottages stand apart from the other units available here at Kepuhi Beach Resort. The 1 bedroom and studio buildings have 8 to 12 units per building. The cottage buildings are unique as they only have 2 units, with no one above. This allows for much more privacy, peace and quiet.Parking for 5A is in the lowest lot, just past security to the left. No hills to descend (or climb) with your groceries and gear!There is a small convenience shop (Da Store) here at the resort that offers some groceries, including snacks, and basic necessities. Although there is no alcohol sold here, it is open 7 days a week. A larger variety of groceries is available in Kuanakaki. By the way, there is no nightlife here.Please note there are no AC units here in the condos at Kepuhi Beach Resort. Windows and doors are often open and you are almost guaranteed to see geckos inside as well as other bugs here and there. You will also have some dust get inside due to the trade winds. The trade-off is the view, the pristine and private beaches, never-ending hiking, and a feeling that you are truly in "old Hawaii". If this isn't the right fit for you, no worries, a high-rise in Maui is close by! But for those who are curious to experience this wonderful island, or others who are returning, we welcome you to paradise and one of the best-kept secrets in the islands.A few tips for your stay:For groceries you can swing by the local grocery in Kaunakakai just after you land. It’s only 5 or 6 miles from the airport. The grocery is “Friendly’s” and they are closed on Sundays, open till 6pm other days. There is a small convenience shop on location at the resort (Da Store) open 7 days a week 9-5. They have more than you’d expect (no alcohol) but your main shopping should be done in town.If you like to eat out we would recommend Hotel Molokai, it’s close to town (Kaunakakai). The restaurant is the only waterfront dining on Molokai and they have a good spicy poke plate or the catch of the day with veggies is always fantastic!You’ll find the best beaches on Molokai all within walking distance from the cottage (west side of Molokai) including Make Horse beach, our favorite. 4 beaches are near the cottage. One of the best views in Molokai is a very easy to drive and only a 2 min walk (all paved) from the parking lot! It’s Kalaupapa Lookout. We usually see it a few times every visit. It’s only about 10 minutes out of your way if you are headed to Kaunakakai for anything. Phallic Rock trail is also accessible from the same parking area and is maybe a half mile hike or so, pretty easy and an interesting story. The pool is open from sunrise to sunset 7 days a week and has amazing sunset views! Mahalo
