About this property

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.

Quiet Sanctuary

I’m always looking for a quiet place to get away from all of today’s modern stress. The house layout is perfect as you can rest inside and still see all the views or relax on the generous lanai. Walk down to view the ocean and schools of fish by the cliff. And best of all enjoy the plunge pool which is bigger than the pictures indicate. Loved our time here. Thank you to Deb and Carl for their hospitality.

Loved it!

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.

Amazing

We loved every minute in this beautiful home. It was clean and comfortable. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need. We did not spend a whole lot of time hanging out inside the house because the lanai was to die for. Beautiful views and amazing sunsets! Nice breezes to keep you comfortable. Our group loved this home and would return in a heartbeat. Mahalo!!!

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!

A slice of paradise

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!

Beautiful home in a relaxing oceanfront setting

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!

Relaxing

This house was so beautiful and the view was amazing! You do have to go down a very narrow steep road with switchbacks. It is also an hour or more away from any excursions you may be planning. There is a cute beach within 40 mins with great snorkeling . The house looks just like the pictures no surprises. The owners were very accommodating and easy to reach if need. Would recommend staying here.

Slice of Heaven

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!

Fantastic visit!!

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!

Fabulous getaway from it all

A terrific house with an amazing lanai/view. This would be a great place for a few couples to go to hang out together for a bit. It is out of the way, which of course is part of his charm. The hosts thought of just about everything and are wonderfully communicative. The hammock is heaven and feeding the fish is so fun. Great kitchen too.

Backyard Paradise

Beautiful home with a backyard that is truly your own little paradise. Sunsets were a must to see each night. The natural dipping pool was a plus after sitting out on the sand beach area. Carl and Deb were wonderful hosts who responded quickly and checked in to make sure all was ok. Don’t think twice about booking this quiet and relaxing home.
