Place was just like all the pictures. Very quiet for relaxing, but close to shopping and adventures. I think it was extra rainy during our stay. The house at times felt damp. The place Was big enough for some family to spend so time with us as well. Will definitely come back again!

Thank you so much, Mark. We would love to have you as our guests if your travels bring you back to the Big Island. Hale Lezarde is located in the rainforest so there are a lot of rainy days! But that is what keeps the plants and trees so lush and amazing. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay! Mark and Sandy

Had an amazing stay at this Pahoa gem! The value was unbeatable—spacious, well-equipped, and priced perfectly for the experience. The property was spotlessly clean, with every detail thoughtfully maintained, making it a comfortable and inviting retreat. The outdoorsy atmosphere was a highlight, surrounded by lush greenery and nature, that truly immersed us in Hawaii’s beauty. Perfect for anyone craving a serene, nature-filled escape. Highly recommend!

It was just what we wanted -- feels secluded in the jungle. Coqui frogs are very loud most of the night.

Long term stay in lovely Leilani Estates

We were so happy to stay here for two months while we house hunted. We were grateful to find a place that would allow us to have our two cats. We enjoyed the flora and fauna of the property and the beautiful, easy-to-walk neighborhood. Randy, the property manager, was great! He was a wonderful resource for us as we learned more about living on the island. Def would recommend to family and friends staying in the area.
