Hale Leilani

Top choice in Moloka'i


Perched partway up a hill near mile marker 16 on Hwy 450 (near Manaʻe Goods & Grindz), this four- to six-bedroom contemporary home with tropical bedspreads has 3800 sq feet of living space and sweeping views to Maui and beyond. The large kitchen will inspire you to cook even on holiday. The adjoining cottage is good for a couple. Four-night minimum.

A walled pool is outside the door, and fruit trees drop their bounty in the gardens. Washer and dryer on property.
