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.

We have rented properties around the world and this is a new favorite. It’s out of town, but not so far that you can’t easily get to local attractions. Very clean well appointed kitchen and home. The private beach area and pool were fantastic. Very responsive hosts and we highly recommend this home.

We had the most wonderful 10-day stay. Communication with the owners was spot on and more than we expected. They offered assistance at every turn. The house is large and as close to the ocean as possible. The outdoor space was overwhelming and offered the opportunity to fish right from our backyard, and float in our own private little natural saltwater pool. Relax in various loungers, dining areas, bar stools, and even our own sandy beach. Sweeping views up and down the coastline. Spectacular!! Treat yourself and stay here. It is remote and the drive down to the house should be considered, however, the location was one of our favorite things about the house. You are way off the beaten path. Can’t wait to stay here again.

We really enjoyed spending time on the veranda in our downtime. Sunsets were gorgeous.

This is the perfect place to stay if you want a nice, peaceful place away from the hustle and bustle. Very relaxing and like the other reviews stated, this place has it all-the kitchen is very well equipped. We very much enjoyed this property and would love to return. Felt recharged after vacation.

This was our third trip to Miloli'i and Hale Pali did not disappoint. It was so easy to relax and forget about our worries. The house is beautiful with a well-stocked kitchen you can entertain in. We especially loved the large lanai and grounds overlooking the cliffs, they were the perfect spot to view the spectacular sunsets. It was also really nice to take a dip in the natural pool when we needed to cool off.
Carl and Deb, it was lovely meeting you, we can't wait to come back. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

The property itself was beautiful and had something for everyone. We were looking for a mix of quiet relaxation and ability to explore Kona and the national park. The views were spectacular from every room and the lani was so relaxing. Everything was well thought out with us being able to have beach days in the sand with a gorgeous ocean view and then cool off in the pool. Then when we'd want more adventure it offered a convent location to go to the volcanoes or Kona on day trips. If you like to cook the kitchen was amazing and had everything we needed. We saw a variety of sea life over the cliff, sea turtles, sharks, eagle rays, flying fish, and tropical fish in the clear blue waters. Carl and Deb were awesome hosts, responding quickly to inquiries and needs, and even made sure i had a spring form pan to make a cheescake my family was hoping for, going above and beyond for us to ensure we had a great time. We couldn't have asked for a better vacation and place to stay. I would highly recommend staying here to anyone as it was truly amazing and I'd love to stay here again.

This spacious 3 bedroom home was very comfortable for my husband, my daughter, my mother and I to relax and enjoy. Whether we were lounging in the hammock watching the sunset on the back porch or inside watching the Olympics on the big screen tv this house had something for everyone. Great for families! Carl and Deb are wonderful hosts!

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.
