Lots of critters!!
We rented three condos in this complex for a family trip of three generations. This is an end unit overlooking a barranca and wooded hillside. The temp was mid-high 80's every day and low 70's every night, with a constant 15+ mph breeze. The other units' lanais were all sheltered from the breeze, faced due west and were extremely warm in the late afternoon and evenings. This unit was situated so the breeze blew right across the lanai and was our favorite gathering spot.
There are wild turkeys, wild peacocks, deer and a variety of birds around the complex. The peacocks tended to huddle up at night in the barranca and often screamed, which frightened the family in this unit not knowing what the sound was. The birds come right up to the lanai and seemed pretty docile.
The kitchen in this unit is pretty small, so don't plan on making large meals. The unit had beach chairs and boogie boards, though the ocean was not conducive to the boards. The ocean water was nearly 80 degrees but the surf was strong, currents were treacherous and children could not play in the ocean without an adult hanging onto them.
The pool area is very well maintained. The complex staff made it clear they will not assist with any issues inside the units; an older woman working mid-week was extremely rude to other guests and refused to give them packages they had UPS'd to themselves at the condo. The Post Office does not deliver mail on the island; an Amazon delivery we had requested was sent back the same day it arrived by USPS and we never had the chance to pick it up.
It's a beautiful island with beautiful beaches but there is little to do other than the beach, pool, tennis court and the condo itself; shopping is extremely limited and there are few other diversions. This was fine for us and what we were looking for, but make sure Molokai can meet your desires.
