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.

Beautiful, peaceful home on the cliff
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!

Amazing Hawaiian Family Vacation
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!

Happy Days in Hawaii
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.

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!

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.

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!

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!

House is very spacious and well equiped. Sunsets are incredible and pool is perfect for a cooling off dip. Definitely need to like driving to stay here as neighbourhood was a bit more remote than we were anticipating, but that certainly meant we had plenty of peace and quiet. Host went above and beyond to enable us to watch the Rugby World Cup final, which was much appreciated. And was quick to respond when there was an issue with water pumps.
