Rainbow Retreat

Slow down... it's Molokai

Kaunakakai, HI, United States

Molokai's Rainbow Retreat - Ocean Front - Pool

*MOLOKAI - NOT MAUI* Here at Rainbow Retreat, we take your comfort extremely seriously. From the Cozy Earth bamboo bedding (Oprah's favorite, 5 years running) to the quality furniture and design you will sink into and enjoy the quiet. Comfortable, minimalistic breathability is our focus on the inside with nature's beauty showing off from the lanai. Molokai is the old Hawaii. The Kauai of 50 years ago, and locals plan to keep it that way. Retreat in the wonder, and aloha that is Molokai.

Good to know

Quality is everything. We've made the most of our 605 square feet, so that you will have all you desire without being crowded or cluttered. High end furnishings from Oahu and the classic Eames style chairs I brought over from the mainland. The artwork by Tom Everhart to honor our veterans is also quite special and hung in a hangar at the Charles Schulz Airport in Santa Rosa, CA. Queen size bed with Beautyrest mattress and Cozy Earth linens to keep your temperature regulated in all of the weather variations. We only use real fibers. Cotton, Linen, or Bamboo... all organic materials and the best for those who want the best. A body's gotta breathe, friend! You will not find any polyester at the Rainbow Retreat. The sofa is also a queen sleeper that doesn't have the infamous "bar" in the middle. Yes, I chose this on purpose. If I won't sleep on it, then I won't expect you too, either. By the way, I am extraordinarily particular about beds and bedding. It's a bit of an obsession.

GUEST is liable for the full cost to remove any odor from the home. Due to the nature of not being able to prove a smell, no evidence will be required beyond providing evidence of the cleaner's communication informing HOST of the smell.

Damage not covered by, or exceeding the coverage limit of, the accidental rental damage insurance or Security Deposit, is your full responsibility. You grant your Host the right to charge the credit card number used to book the Vacation Rental for any such damages, including, but not limited to, additional cleaning fees. To ensure that the proper party is held responsible, please notify your Host of any damages found at check-in.

GUEST must inform management within 24 hours of arrival of any existing damage or may be held responsible for any cost involved in repair to be taken from the security deposit. Any resulting costs above the security deposit amount will be owed to the HOST by the GUEST.

In the case that the GUESTS lose the Parking Pass, Laundry Key, or fail to return them, the charge is $100.  We recommend that you always keep the keys on the hooks provided to avoid losing them. 
5. CLEANLINESS– You are expected to treat the Vacation Rental with respect, keeping in mind that this is an individual’s home, not a hotel room. Even in cases where a cleaning fee is charged, you are expected to leave the Vacation Rental in a clean, neat and orderly condition to allow our cleaners to provide a thorough clean in the very short window between guests.

Management must be notified within 24 hours of arrival if unhappy with conditions upon arrival.

The GUEST is responsible to inform all individuals in their party to use only Scott or septic safe tissue (provided), and no other items will be flushed in the toilet even if it says "flushable".

Accessibility and Availability

Neighborhood

Wavecrest is at mile 13 (everything has a mile marker) and set back from the road closer to the water. It is 10 miles from downtown, 20 from the airport and 3 miles the opposite direction to the small store / lunch counter (it's so good, you guys). Many local farm stands along the way for fresh produce and probably the best bananas you'll ever have. I am ruined. You will be, too. While there is not one single stoplight on the entire island, a car is pretty necessary to get around Molokai.

Guest Access

The entire ground floor condo is yours. :) Enjoy the lunch grounds, the swimming pool, the small sandy beach that should be (and might be) in a movie scene, tennis / pickleball courts (we have a set of rackets and balls for you) and cabana which is chock full of good books into which to dive and BBQ area. We are on the ground floor with easy access through the front door or the slider if you need a wider space for any assistance device.

Find us

Rent a car through Turo, or Alamo. Reserve well in advance, before you book your flight. Alamo is located right at the airport, and many Turo hosts who live on island will deliver a vehicle to the airport for you.
