Thanks all! I think I may have found the perfect beach cottage-- just can't quite decide if the owner is too much of a clean freak for us (a prohibition against shoes in the house is written into the contract, I have a painful foot problem that keeps in supportive shoes almost all of the time. Frankly, the time I can tolerate barefoot, I want to spend on the sand).
Looks like a rental car on Molokai will be pricy!

Papohaku really is unswimmable. It's gorgeous, but the waves crash very close to shore, and there is quite an undertow, especially in winter. The only west end beach that's really swimmable is Dixie Maru Beach at the southern end, but it is kind of small. At the northern end of western Molokai, Kepuhi Beach (where the condos are) has some surfers most every day.

Where to stay on Molokai?
Hey FTers.
I'm a medical student going to Molokai for a month this Jan to work in the local clinic. I'm looking to rent an apartment/condo/tiny house etc... for the month on a budget of 1500-2000 dollars for accommodations. I've gone on VRBO and google to try to find, but the nice units seem to all be taken, or the other ones that are available are not really what I'm looking for. I'm interested in staying in a place that's really clean and perhaps in one of the more lush locations, even if it means more rain. I will also be renting a car so I don't mind being a half hour away from town. Anybody have any suggestions?
Mahalo!

Side by the huge beach
You can see Hawaii Kai from that end
I'll look and see if some friends condo is available for a month rental
The condo from outside is average
Inside superb !
High end designer unit

Sounds like a really interesting assignment. I hope you'll keep us posted on it. Molokai presents a fascinating case of culture clashes.

Thanks for the advice! I definitely intend on finding out from my supervisors any info about apartment/condos etc... but I wanted to see if anybody has a particular place to recommend as a starting point. Anybody have any places in mind?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Not sure if you've ever been to Molokai but be advised that the west end of the island is the dry end. Don't know this property in particular but there are several very nice looking properties on the west end. This area was all laid out with roads for developement but it never materialized for some reason. Landscaping is very important on this end as the natural vegetation is pretty scrubby. East end is the lush tropical end. Also you are about 30-45 minutes from town where you'll have to go for just about anything that you need. You are close to the longest beach in Hawaii. This beach is beautiful and it's likely that you'll have it all to yourself. I've only been there in the winter and it's been too rough to go into the water. If you are looking for solitude you will probably love it. But that goes for the whole island of Molokai.
