E komo mai. Welcome to Paradise. This rural property in Lower Puna is perfect for guests seeking adventure and out of doors living for their vacation get-away.
Our Hale and detached studio Ohana (separate guest house) are located on a private road in the beautiful Leilani Estates Subdivision on a secluded one acre lot, offering the perfect location to enjoy all that the Big Island of Hawaii has to offer.
Perfect for a couple or up to 4 people, we offer Hale Lezarde with Master Suite including a king sized bed and a jetted tub in the master bath, and a queen sized bed in the second bedroom with its own full bath. Hale Lezarde has a comfortable split floor plan for privacy, with a large, open living room, dining area and a spacious kitchen, with ceramic tile flooring throughout. A large, island style screened in lanai is located off the kitchen for dining or relaxing..
The detached studio Ohana (separate Guest House) is separated from the main house by a covered outdoor breezeway and offers private accommodation for up to 4 additional people in one open space, with a twin over double bed bunk and a full size futon. The Ohana has a kitchenette with refrigerator, coffee maker, toaster and microwave and a 3/4 bathroom with shower. A perfect place for children or relatives traveling with you, the Ohana is a great way to provide for extra guests and provide more privacy for the main house. The Ohana cannot be rented separately from the main house.
Hale Lezarde is set back on the lot for privacy in a beautiful rain forest setting. The secluded one acre lot is landscaped with Hapu'u ferns, Ohia trees and palm trees and abundant flowering plants including anthurium, gardenia and ginger. There are mature, producing orange trees, banana trees and avocado trees, as well as coffee and pineapple plants which we invite you to enjoy in season. You will know you are in Hawaii the minute you walk onto this property!

great property, all went well

This is a beautiful property, so clean and the surrounding gardens are lush and full of flowers and birds. Well set up and we had nothing missing. A deal for the price. As there were only the two of us we didn’t use the ohana, but this place would have been roomy for 5-6 people. We really loved it here. Restful and quiet. We hope to come again!

You know you are in Hawaii when you enter this yard.
It is beautiful and has so many different trees and plants.
The house is large and we loved the layout of the open living room and kitchen. The owners are quick to respond to any questions you may have. We wish them all the best in the future. Thank you so much for sharing your home .

Overall enjoyed our stay! Loved he greenery around the home and house was just perfect for our family.

Unbelievable beauty, so much better than the photos can show! Plants, flowers, geckos, birds and their songs… whether outside or inside the home. The night sounds, especially the coqui frogs are very loud, so although charming bring earplugs to help sleep.
Great open layout, comfortable beds/bedding and pillows. Well stocked kitchen, towels and extra bedding if needed.
Mahalo for sharing your Ohana with us, we are blessed and grateful!

Quiet and peaceful, perfect for a large family. Beautiful gardens. close to volcano national park and the SE side of the island.

thank you Mark & Sandy

When we first got here we couldn’t get ahold of anyone to get missing lock box code. Finally got a response about 8 hrs after asking for and finding out after leaving several messages with the listed contact we later found out she had passed away 2 months previously. We really liked the location and the place itself it really just needs a little updating the sheets, pillows and mattress covers all have mildew smell and mold spots on them. Anyway we did have a good visit any hopefully this doesn’t come across as complaining but more helpful to help get place in order for next family.

The house and property were stunning. The house was dirty with mold and mildew and smelled strongly of it. The linens were stained. You cannot drink the faucet water or brush your teeth with it because the rainwater is filtered but not purified. We didn’t realize this until reading the book in the house on day 3 because nothing warned us anywhere else. There is no cell service at the property so only wifi cell phone usage available. Overall a very nice place to stay but you can tell it hasn’t been getting the air circulation or sanitation it needs.

Despite the terrible stretch of bad weather, Mark & Sandy’s home was a wonderful home base. We loved playing card games and Yahtzee they provided and listening to the rain & frogs was very magical!
The yard is so lush and the fruit was yummy. We were a group of 7 (2 families) and utilized both the main house and ohana. It was perfect for our needs and we have no complaints. Thank you!

Aloha the yard is amazing. The house worked great for my auntie Patti & her daughter and son in law. The small studio was great for my daughter & son in law. The small studio could use a couch instead of a futon. They also would have done the dishes in the studio if the had been any soap but there was no hand or dish soap. My auntie Patti daughter was caught off guard when a yard guy showed up to do work during there stay said he was there to work but went after her over the catchment water use. She was doing a load of laundry at the time & washer was filling. It was a little unsettling for her. For auntie Patti & her daughter it was there very first time ever renting a vacation rental. Very green newbies to vacation rental life. But over all they loved your place it worked wonderfully for everyone. I would love to rent it again if grandma make 101. I really just wanted to let you know about what happened. Thank so much your yard and deck are amazing! Amber

Really enjoyed our month long stay at Hale Lezard. The house is secluded and very private.
Beds are comfortable and the kitchen is well
equipped. The lanai is a great place for your morning coffee- some big comfy chairs out there would be awesome!!!! Needs some updating but otherwise very comfortable!

We used this amazing house as our base for a week on the Big Island. We did not spend much time sitting around the comfy living room since we were out and about. (Volcanoes NP is close as is Pahoa and Hilo, but we also enjoyed day trips from here to the Kona Coast a few times, since we didn’t mind the 2 hour drive. It doesn’t look like home!) We did enjoy cooking breakfast and hanging in the open kitchen quite a bit. The kitchen was nicely stocked and the fridge was great. There was plenty of space for the 5 of us. The bedrooms were spacious. Someone mentioned just a tub in the master bath but it wasn’t a problem, as we just used the other bathroom when we wanted a shower. The Ohana was a wonderful place to house an accompanying friend. There was a carport that kept our rental truck dry from the nightly rains. The grounds were lushly tropical. There is no air conditioning but plenty of fans. It rains every night and cools off quite nicely. Are the frogs a bit loud with the windows open at night? Yes, but you get used to them. All in all, it was an amazing hideaway in the rainforest and we all enjoyed it immensely! I just wish we’d remembered to sign the guest book!

The house and property are beautiful. Pictures do not do it justice. We loved the screened in porch for dinners at night. Thanks for sharing your house!

We loved living in paradise for a week. As soon as you pull into the driveway you have your own little slice of tropical rain forest. The open floor plan in the main house was great for socializing and the privacy of the Ohana helped for winding down in the evenings. The sounds of the birds and frogs were delightful and the plants were gorgeous. The house had a bit of a musty smell when we first walked in but it was no surprise since it rained every day and there is no air conditioning to remove the humidity from the house. It stayed cool enough with the fans though and we enjoyed our stay.

The house is very spacious, and has everything you need. Ellen, the concierge is very responsive and helpful. It can be a little dark during the day in the living area. But you're on Hawai'i, so get out! The town of Pahoa is a few miles north and provides shopping and good food options. There is only one (clothing-optional) swimming beach in the area, which is an experience! Be aware that the tap water is non-potable, but drinking water is supplied or can be re-filled at public spigots in the area. The garden is lush and has so many beautiful flowers, we spent a lot of time out there. We could harvest some ripe and tasty Oranges every day. Would go there again any time!

we enjoyed our month long stay at Hale Lizarde! The house has everything we needed for our stay. We weathered out a substantial storm there without issues. The power loss made for an adventure…we bought candles and snacks. When we discovered that the beach chairs that were advertised in house were missing the owner told us to grab some and she’d reimburse us. That was a thoughtful gesture. This home is not perfect, but was a perfect fit for a relaxing time for us.

Perfect size and layout!
We loved this property from the minute we drove in the gate. It's a beautiful setting in a convenient location. The living room is very comfortable. The open kitchen, dining room and living room setup is great. The king bed in the main bedroom is very comfortable, and the room and bathroom are perfect sizes. The queen bed in the second bedroom is also comfortable. We loved the screened in porch - maybe the best feature. Would like to see a comfortable lounge chair or two there for reading. The little house was perfect for our guest mother and her 6 and 9 year old boys to get away for their early-to-bed and early-to-rise routine. All-in-all, this house was perfect for us. Ellen was very gracious and attentive to our needs. We had occasion to need Randall to fix the disposal - he was also great - friendly, professional, and competent. Our son and his family live near Pahoa so we visit frequently. We hope Sandy's house will be available when we come.
