RELAXING, Away-from-it-All home on the water with small Natural Pool
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.
About the Owners: Carl and Deborah have lived here on the Big Island for more than 40 years and reside on an 8 1/2 acre farm just 15 minutes up the mountainside from the Beach House. They are both retired School Counselors following 30+ year careers, and are San Francisco State Alum who moved to Hawaii from the Bay Area.
Hale Pali has operated continuously since 2006 and Carl & Deb say that their favorite part of owning Hale Pali is meeting guests from all corners of the globe.
Come stay with us for some Big-Island-Style Hospitality.

A big slice of paradise!
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!

The BEST!!
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!

Amazing views, sounds and feel
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.

Fabulous Holiday 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!

Spectacular!
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!

True Paradise
It is hard to accurately describe our experience at Hale Pali, but I will start with simple perfection. This home was truly amazing and brought us everything we were looking for (and needed) in a vacation: peace, quiet, the most beautiful views, spinner dolphins, and every amenity to make us feel like this was our home for a week plus. The hosts, Carl and Deb, truly thought of everything one needs to have a fun and relaxing time. We spent endless hours enjoying the sun, the beach, the lanai, the natural pool, and the water which was calm some days and provided massive waves crashing into the cliff on others. A special added bonus was getting to spend time with the wonderful hosts (until we meet again <3). Rent this house!

Serenity by the Sea
We had been on the Island for 14 days prior to arriving at Hale Pali on the Sea. Our intentions were to just relax and enjoy the ocean for our last 6 days in Hawaii and that is exactly what we got. Deb and Carl's house had everything we needed to just sit back and chill. The slash pool was excellent to take a quick refreshing cold plunge in the afternoon. The Kitchen was fantastic and we utilized it everyday. If watching TV is your thing then there large flat screen in the living room with Dish Network service. Only turned the TV on once to watch some college football on Saturday. We only left the house once during our stay and that was to drive to the nearby Volcano National Park. If you have designs on staying at a place to do nothing but relax see some of the local sites this this the place for you. Aloha and Mahalo Deb and Carl!
