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 splendour 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 sanitise the house between guests.

Carl and Deb are amazing hosts! They're very open with communication and the check-in process was seamless! The pictures they share do not compare to the actual home and scenery! This was truly a home away from home for us. The kitchen was definitely made for staying in for amazing evening meals with a picturesque back drop! The walk-out allowed us to watch sea life from above.... from reef fish to dolphins swimming by in the morning! Mahalo C&D for everything! We will be back!!

This is the perfect place for those who don't want to be around a lot of noisy people. It is a very large home right now the water. The sunsets are spectacular! It was the perfect location to be able to travel to all the renowned beaches (Black Sand, Green Sand, and Pebbles Beach), along with getting to the Volcano National Park within a decent amount of time. The owners are great and very friendly. We are so pleased we got to meet them in person.

It was a unique stay in a very special house right by the sea. Deborah and Carl are wonderful hosts, and you can tell at all times that they don't just rent out this house, but really take care of it and prepare a special place for their guests.We were here for almost a week and enjoyed our stay to the fullest, from the first view of the sea in the morning to the last sip of wine on the veranda in the evening.We can wholeheartedly recommend the house and were very happy to meet Carl and his wife.
