Moloa'a Bay Villa on the Beach

This impressive home consists of three bedrooms, three baths, and 3,289 Sq Ft. of living space siting on pristine 2.5 acres of white sand beach frontage area. Moloa'a Bay was the site location for the TV pilot of "Gilligan's Island". Here is where the USS Minnow and its crew originally shipwrecked. This may be as close as you will come to living on Gilligan's Island. Here is everything you ever dreamed Kauai to be! A perfect crescent sand beach and turquoise waters. Mystical Moloa'a Bay is located on the North East side of Kauai. Truly "Off-The-Beaten-Path" giving one the sense of an exclusive & genuine experience of the REAL Hawaii.

Home is fully air conditioned. A wrap-around deck provides 2nd floor views of the ocean and coastline along with dramatic mountain vistas. The well-manicured Estate grounds are verdantly planted with Hawaiian tropical flora. A thick hedge at the beach edge provides privacy and security. There is an outdoor shower near the beach access.

**No Weddings or Events Allowed at this Property**

(Be advised that ocean conditions can be unpredictable and unsuitable for swimming at times. Please use cautionary discretion when entering the ocean at any location on the island).
*This home is located in a "Tsunami Evacuation Zone*

Moloa Bay
Great property, very out of the way. Views are spectacular , but it’s a long drive to anything. If you’re looking for off the beaten path, this is it.

Amazing Location
What an amazing spot on the planet! This bay has it all: tide pools, sea life (sea turtles pull out on the beach), hikes up to the point, spirited swimming (at low tide for good swimmers only in Winter), and a large, quiet and private property with a beautiful shady beach front and exceptional views. There is a guest house on the property that is also rented but it's set well apart (if you got both you could host a large group very well). The layout was comfortable for our 4 kids (two each per room using the trundle pullout). The kitchen is very well-appointed and in the perfect location. The only thing we wished for is a bit more space at the outdoor table on the lanai so we could all dine together outside. It is an older home, but everything works well and there have clearly been updates to the appliances and furnishings. The teak railing around the lanai is the nicest work I've seen! In terms of location, it's well situated on the North shore on a very quiet bay down small one-lane style roads. So not many people know about (but locals do: quite a few were fishing on New Years day made for great conversations). Great restaurants and stores within 15min drive, and good access to Hanalei and the rest of the north shore. Would absolutely return.

Ideal location
This how was our little piece of heaven for the last week. The beach is steps away and we had ideal weather so it was perfect for all of us to snorkel. It’s the type of home and beach you never want to leave. The house had incredible views and it was very private. Our kids played in the open floor plan and on the outdoor patio. It was easy to keep track of everyone. The kitchen was great for a large family cooking all together. We are already trying to plan when we could come back.

5 star location, but...
The location for this property is perfect - nice beach just steps away, but the owner is relying on the location and neglecting the house itself. The house is in need of some major TLC. For the price, one would not expect knobs falling off cupboards, a jet engine AC above the great room, or an inoperable stove/oven. There were so many things wrong with this house, we developed a punch list to provide to the agent and owner. The oven/stove has been inoperable since July and they keep stating they are waiting on a part or qualified people to install it. We had to do all our cooking on provided propane burners. When one is paying a premium for luxury accomodations, one expects these things to work. We had plumbers and electricians out to the house to put temporary fixes on things (they never returned to fix them properly). We were there for 2 weeks and there was ample time to address these issues. The house is really in need of a refresh.

Beautiful Bay Retreat
The house is in an amazing location on a quieter bay. There were usually more local fisherman than beach goers. It looked to be a good spot for catching Scad as there would be a dozen or more fisherman clustered pulling them in throughout the day. The house is well equipped and has an amazing bay view. The wrap around lanai and sand room were great. The yard was spacious, well maintained, and great for the keikis. The neighborhood was very quiet and peaceful. We received a heads up ahead of time that the oven was out and a repair person would be coming during our stay. They provided butane burners and plenty of butane refills so It wasn’t a problem. Property management communicated well for the repair visit. We did have a rodent get into our food in the pantry so the broken oven became the food storage. We found later the rodent was a rat which woke us up in the night as it clumsily thumped around in the closest. We chased it to its hidey hole and notified management who said it would be taken care of. Overall a wonderful place and we’ll be retuning hopefully sooner than later.

This home is amazing!
We enjoyed our stay here, the home is beautiful, well kept and the view is amazing!! The beach is clean and secluded. Two challenges, there are two access codes for both entry doors. I had received one prior to arrival. I called and the owner quickly helped us gain access to the house. The second, we arrived at night and it is very dark and we couldn’t see the address on the front gate. However the directions the owner provided were helpful and I was glad I took a picture of them on my phone as there is no WiFi once you are off the main road ( there is WiFi in the house). We would definitely stay here again.
