Miloli'i gets listed as a Hawaiian Fishing village. There's really nothing there after a 5 mile drive down from 1500 ft to sea level. The roads are far from good and the local Hawaiians that live there don't need looky loos staring at their homes. Miloli'i is at least 20 minutes South of Captain Cook and is very isolated.

If you are looking for a place to get away from it all, then this area would be for you. Numerous home rentals are here. Most are on the water, or have great water views. Macadamia Nut trees line the upper highway, and the local road offers many places to stop for fresh picked fruit.…
