About Us

Molokai Vacation Properties – Real Estate the Molokai Way

At Molokai Vacation Properties, we don’t just sell homes—we educate you on Molokai. With over 30 years of living, working, and raising a family on the island, Dayna Harris brings unmatched local expertise, deep community roots, and an authentic love for Molokai that shines through in everything we do.

Our reach is powerful and precise. We regularly connect with over 3,000 past Molokai visitors through targeted Constant Contact email campaigns, keeping your listing top-of-mind with those who already know and love the island. Every property we market is also shared with every licensed real estate agent in Hawaii through our partnership with Old Republic Title, ensuring statewide visibility among professionals.

Online, Molokai Vacation Properties dominates digital lead generation. We are proud to be Molokai’s No. 1 lead buyer on Zillow, and we actively capture motivated buyers from top real estate platforms including Realtor.com, Trulia, Redfin, Homes.com, HomeFinder, and YouTube.

Our reputation across the islands is decades strong, and we benefit from a vast network of referral business from both active and retired agents across Oahu, Maui, the Big Island, and Kauai. Dayna’s 18+ years as owner of Molokai’s largest property management company means she knows virtually every street, neighborhood, and family on Molokai—and many know and trust her in return.

At RealEstateOnMolokai.net, our website receives daily traffic from real buyers interested in Molokai. Whether they’re “snowbirds,” world travelers, or local families, our buyers are often drawn to the peaceful, rural lifestyle that only Molokai offers—one unlike anywhere else in Hawaii or the world.

Our clients choose us because selling Molokai is different. It’s not Maui, not Oahu, and certainly not like any other market. It requires more than a license—it takes deep cultural knowledge, real relationships, and a commitment to telling the story of Molokai the right way. We educate buyers on the lifestyle, the land, and the values of the community, which in turn helps them make informed, lasting decisions.

From being the top office in condo sales, to handling the majority of estate home sales over the past five years, to helping local families transition properties through generations, Molokai Vacation Properties is proud to be a real estate resource for the island we call home.

Whether you’re buying, selling, or simply dreaming, trust the team that knows Molokai best. We’re not just selling property—we’re sharing a way of life.

And This Is My Story How I Got Here:

Just newly arrived in Hawaii in 1989 and living on Kauai, my husband and friends decided to come to Molokai for the day and explore the island.

When I got off the plane and saw the airport, I immediately thought “I love this place.”  There were four of us and we were in awe as we drove through the small town of Kaunakakai with no stoplights anywhere and the only big sign on plywood read  “Hey who ever stole my weed wacker, bring it BACK.”

Heading east we drove up to the top of what you could tell was a subdivision with hardly any homes at the time.  It was Kawela Plantation I.  We thought were on top of the world!   It was an unbelievable vista with 180 degrees of ocean and views of 5 islands, Maui, Kahoolawe, Lanai, sometimes the Big Island and the west end of Molokai.  I couldn’t buy ocean view anywhere I previously lived.

Later we drove east and came across the Mapulehu Wagon Ride and discovered they weren’t operating, but instead they welcomed us to join them for drinks by the beach.

Looking over at the views of Maui across the channel, I remember thinking “life doesn’t get any better than this.”

The next thing I knew I was buying land in Kawela Plantations and that was 1990.  In 1994 we built two homes and I have been here ever since raising two boys.  Kawela Plantation has views that never get old.  From pretty rainbows to amazing sunrises and sunsets, it’s always beautiful day.  Come see why we love living in Kawela on Molokai and maybe you will too.
