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.

Paradise - a hui hou kākou
I don’t even know where to start. We had an amazing stay at this beautiful property. The home and description are exactly as pictured (even better in person). The views from everywhere in the house are stunning. We loved watching the waves crash on the coast and come up through the blowhole. The views are breathtaking. The private beach area and pool were fantastic. I felt like I was at a 5 star resort the entire time (only better). We really enjoyed being able to cool off in the salt water pool. I will not forget the beautiful sunsets. We had an extraordinary time. The kitchen was well-equipped and spacious, perfect for cooking and preparing meals. The home and beds are very comfortable. Loved the evening listening to the whales breaching the water which was incredible. The highlight of the trip was meeting Carl and Debbie who are both wonderful. We feel like we have new life long friends. We are already planning to return in 2026 to attend their Christmas Eve party and hope to meet up with them when they visit California. This is a peaceful slice of heaven. Paradise. Counting the days until we can return.

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.

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!

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!

Amazing Home, Wonderful Location
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!

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!

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 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.

Great stay with friends
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.
