Hale Pali (Cliff House) is a spectacular (non-smoking) OCEANFRONT home overlooking the blue Pacific. We heartily agree with our guests who have enthusiastically stated: 'there is nothing that compares to actually being on the water' - what better way to enjoy the sound of the waves, and the smell of the sea air.
The home is beautifully and tastefully decorated and features teak furniture.
You will love cooking in the fully equipped, Rick Hartman designed, gourmet kitchen.
You can keep cool by taking a dip in our 3,000 gallon 'natural' (unheated) pool or just 'chill' while lounging and sunning yourself on our small private white sand beach, you may also choose to kick back on the lanai in the comfort of our shaded hammock.
If you need to stay connected you can do so via FREE WIFI.
A perfect day begins while sitting on the sea wall, sipping Kona Coffee, and looking out to sea. You will be amazed by the spectacular “blow-hole” that adds to the OCEANFRONT splendor of our seaside home.
If you are looking for 'off-the-beaten-path relaxation. We think that the serenity you will find here makes the 45 minute drive south from Kona Village very worthwhile.
To help ensure a comfortable visit we thoroughly clean and sanitize the house between guests.

What an incredible start to our vacation! We arrived at the property just as the sun was setting - the house was all lit up, Hawaiin music playing, a welcoming written in the sand, and the VIEW! Lava rocks, mountains, the Pacific Ocean - Wow. The rooms were nice, the kitchen fantastic, and the porch was amazing. Each morning I enjoyed breakfast with a stunning view. The house was well equipped with just about everything you could need for your stay, including: beach chairs, umbrella, cooler, grill and more. The hammocks on the porch were so relaxing as the birds would serenade me as I rested. It was also nice meeting our hosts, Carl & Deb and learning a little bit of the history of Hawaii. Thank you for an amazing way to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary.

Our family spent a glorious week in this comfortable oasis! The view was magical, the house was well-stocked and the owners thought through everything to ensure a relaxed, enjoyable experience. The location is somewhat remote, which gave us a unique opportunity to explore beaches that aren't on the tourist track (and we won't say where they are to keep the serenity and local spirit intact). Thank you to Carl! We hope to return soon!

The pics don’t do this home justice. Beautiful views greet you as soon as you pass thru the Kitchen. Host do a terrific job having the home open and ready for your arrival with Hawaiian music already playing. Cooling pool was a big hit and much larger than it appears. Great launching point for the south side of the island. We will be back!

My family of 5 travelled from Nashville, TN to stay at this wonderful home for a week. I wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy all of the sights and sounds of the big island. You can't find sunset views more gorgeous than those from the lanai of Hale Pali. Thank you Carl and Deb!

House was perfect. Everything you could possibly ask for. Loved feeding the fish.
Beds were comfy too.
If we make it back we will need to revisit!

Beautiful location and place. The drive down the mountainside is steep, once you drive it a couple times it’s easy. This is the place to stay if you like quiet and peaceful.

Wow, the house was located smack on the water, the sunsets were stunning, it felt like a slice of paradise. The quiet location was a great "de-stressing" get-away for all of us. Spacious, clean and well stocked, it felt like home the minute we walked in. Carl and Deb were great hosts!

My husband and I came to stay at this wonderful beach house for the honeymoon we never had. The location is out of the way, yet not too far from civilization. Volcanoes National Park is only about an hour away. It’s very quiet and very private, and directly on the water. Absolutely so serene and picturesque. The sunsets at night are stunning. The gourmet kitchen is huge! There is also a barbecue down by the little Private beach and freshwater pool.
The hosts have thought of everything, including interesting books to read, games, and even a guitar!
From the large lanai overlooking the Pacific, we were able to spot pods of dolphins, and a small orca whale. This was one of the exciting highlights of our trip!
We definitely want to come back and bring some of our family with us next time! We Loved our vacation!

This was the best VRBO I've ever stayed in. It was well stocked (more like staying at a friend's house), clean, comfortable and had the most incredible ocean views. You're right on the water! My girlfriends and I meet up every year for our annual Hawaiian retreat and we go to a different island each time; however, we're already trying to figure out when we're coming back to this amazing home and space that Carl and Deb have built and created for others to enjoy. We often spend our days hiking and exploring but this was the first year that we spent multiple days at our rental - it was just too heavenly to leave. Dolphins and sharks and whales abounded and we enjoyed having our own front seat to the wildlife views.
We have never had a host take interest in meeting us and my girlfriends and I were so impressed with the warm welcome and gracious attitude that Carl and Deb provided.
If you're considering this house, you should just book it. You won't be disappointed!

If you're looking for a quality home away from the busy action, this is perfect. Cooking dinners in the gourmet kitchen was a treat. The lava shoreline is there to entertain you at all hours of the day, as well as the winter whales blowing as they pass the patio. Carl and Deb were very responsive when anything was needed. This is a must see property if you're looking for an authentic Hawaii stay.

Amazing stay here….. enjoyed lots of family time. Hosts were lovely, too, and checked on us throughout our stay. I have already told friends about this amazing place….. do not hesitate to book it. We saw whales, dolphins and a shark right from the deck and lawn chairs. Amazing view and experience. Thanks!

The house was amazing with incredible views; cliff-side, with it's own "blow hole," a wrap around deck, and plenty of room. The kitchen was equipped with anything you could possibly want. The washer/dryer combo saved us on checked bag costs. Carl and Deb are great hosts, always responding, quickly, to any question we had, and were incredibly accommodating. The house is rather remote, with a drive thru a gorgeous rain forest, on the way. If you're looking for peace, quiet, and privacy - you've just found it!
