Moloka'i is the fifth-largest island in Hawaii and has the tallest sea cliffs in the world. Unlike the popular Hawaiian islands Maui and O'ahu, Moloka'i is different when it comes to tourism. With guided hikes to authentic cultural experiences and unique historical places, Moloka'i provides a different adventure, sans mega-resorts and sprawling malls. While on this island, hike through Halawa Valley, have a picnic with loved ones on the expansive Papohaku Beach, and watch the sunset over the Pacific Ocean. A thrilling helicopter tour provides a beautiful bird’s-eye view of the island that you should not miss. You should also check out Kanemitsu Bakery’s famous hot bread while here. For a long and comfortable stay, read on to find the best long-term rentals on Moloka‘i, USA, and make the most of your time appreciating this hidden gem.

We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) host status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, decor, availability of dates, and long-term stay rules and regulations.
