Moloa'a Bay Estate with 2 Homes Steps from Ocean

Welcome to Moloa'a Bay on the northeast shore of Kaua'i. This is a large, secluded, pristine white sand beach that lends itself to coastal hiking, snorkeling, body boarding, surfing, shelling, swimming and sunbathing.

The beach bay is nearly ½ mile long. The name comes from molo a'a in the Hawaiian language which means "matted roots." Paper Mulberry trees (wauke) once grew so thickly that the roots were interwoven. The Moloa'a Stream meanders through the valley alongside Moloa'a road and empties near the north end of the beach, which is backed by high cliffs. Uphill from the bay is the Moloa?a State Forest Reserve.

The Villa: This impressive home consists of three bedrooms, three baths, and 3,289 sq. ft. of living space sitting 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." This 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 Kaua'i to be! A perfect crescent sand beach and turquoise waters. Mystical Moloa'a Bay is located on the Northeast side of Kaua'i. Truly "Off-The-Beaten-Path" giving one the sense of an exclusive and genuine experience of the REAL Hawai'i. Moloa'a Beach has the least amount of rain of any north shore Kaua'i beach. It's perfect for swimming, snorkeling, picnics, sunsets and being away from the crowds. Annual average rainfall is 25.”

The 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 path.

The Cottage: At the south end of the property near the entrance is a detached separate 2nd story guest house consisting of 994 square feet of air-conditioned living area with 1 bedroom + den and loft/1 bath. On your return from the beach, shower off in the new outdoor lava rock hot & cold shower.
The cottage may be rented separately or along with the main home. The location is very private and cozy, exquisitely furnished, and fully appointed. There are ocean views from the cottage. Here you can experience the casual Hawaiian elegance that typifies the spirit of Kaua'i.

**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).
*These homes are located in a "Tsunami Evacuation Zone."*

As a guest of Moloa'a Bay Villa & Cottage and RE/MAX Kauai, you'll have access to Kaua'i's Premier Concierge Service, where we'll help you build your perfect vacation.

Family celebration
Property was outstanding and very well stocked with spices, dishes, Tupperware, etc which was very appreciated as we were cooking for a 10-person group. Best VRBO property that we’ve stayed at (out of many). The only problem was that we were notified that the stove wasn’t working properly on our arrival day and we didn’t get it working until our last day. Although we could cook in the cottage, which was a saving grace since we had already purchased all our food at Costco and there were no restaurants nearby, it was very inconvenient and frustrating. They did bring a hot plate over but it was wholly inadequate as a replacement for the stove. The property manager was in east communication but with no real solution. It was super frustrating for a property of this level and price point. Additionally the refrigerator wasn’t staying cold enough (ie in “spoilage zone”per the thermometer inside) and so we had to store perishables in the downstairs utility room fridge. Again - not the end of the world but annoying when you’re cooking multiple meals a day for 10-people over 7 days. I wish there had been some resolution offered during the week that would have recognized the inconvenience at least and even better would have been to fix the problems.

Words cannot describe how wonderful this vacation was.
Thank you for sharing this incredibly beautiful and perfect set of homes with our family. The location is truly beyond words. Sitting on the beautiful Moloa bay is perfection. Our family of ten was very happy and comfortable! Thank you! We will be back! We have been to Kauai many times, but this was our best vacation.

Incredible home in an amazing location
Our group of 8 loved these homes. Incredible location, everything we needed on site and an amazing experience. At times it felt like a private beach. The views and weather are incomparable, the home an amenities although slightly dated met every need or want. This was perfect for our group and i hope to.come back someday.
