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.

Nice home in a very remote location

The House was nice, the views were amazing. The issue we had was the remote location. The nearest market OceanView takes 45 minutes round trip. All attractions are very distant. The property owners are very responsive and kept us informed. In the future I will likely choose Waikoloa side of the island. Overall it was a nice stay. Thank you.

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.

Away from the crowds

A turn-back-the-clock wonderful kind of place. Beautiful views from the oceanfront porch. Lovely, well designed kitchen. Spacious living and dining area. With the larger square footage six adults would be quite comfortable sharing this space. January has been a good time to be here.

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.

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!

Wonderful restful vacation

Carl & Deb's home is absolutely lovely and comfortable, and was stocked with everything we needed and more. The "front row" perfect ocean view seats on the lanai and out in the back yard were where we spent most of our time, even though the rest of the house is amazing. We made it back for sunset every night, 7 out of 8 were spectacular and worth the price of admission! Lol The neighborhood is well off the beaten track and a solid 30-45 minutes away from stores, but well worth it as it is extremely quiet, hardly any cars, an occasional couple out for a stroll down the street, just the waves and peaceful quiet. Would not have left if we didn't have too!! Thank you, C and D. If we have the opportunity to come back, we definately will! Xoxoxo

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!

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.

Gorgeous Oceanfront Home

Hale Pali is a gorgeous oceanfront home in a stunning location and well appointed. It has many places to gather and relax both inside and outside. We greatly enjoyed having breakfast out on the terrace every morning and watching sunsets there as well. The kitchen is large with many dishes, glassware, flatware, pots/pans, knives, etc. We greatly enjoyed making breakfast and dinner in the home everyday. Furthermore, there are plenty of cooking supplies, spices, and condiments in the house for you to use which is also greatly appreciated. One nice bonus of the stay was that Carl and Deb came out to say hello one night with some wine. We definitely enjoyed chatting with them and learning more about them and their time in Hawaii. On the day of checkout, we had an evening flight and asked if a late checkout was possible. Carl and Deb were very kind to accommodate us which was much appreciated. Would highly recommend Hale Pali and we would definitely stay here again the next time we visit the Big Island.

As Dreamy as You Imagined

Set upon a field of lava directly on the sea shore, Carl and Deb’s Miloli’i property did not disappoint. Appointed with almost everything you can imagine, this property is set up for days of lounging and forgetting about your day to day life back on the mainland. The natural pool and the multiple areas set up for lounging allow one to enjoy the water, sun, or shade along with an almost constant but gentle sea breeze. Several naps were had in various locations. Each one as dreamy and idyllic as the last. The view of the sunset, the ocean and the portions of Mauna Loa to the north are all uninterrupted and awe-inspiring. Even when clouds rolled in, the weather remained perfect. The units three bedrooms and spacious indoor/outdoor living area was perfect for four of us and would easily accommodate a larger group. The large kitchen is capable of housing a week’s worth of groceries for a large group with no problem, and the kitchen has all the tools you need to make your favorite comfort food or to try your hand at a local cuisine. Miloli’i is a secluded development on an island full of secluded locations. But, we found it a good location for traveling north to explore the fine beaches and star gazing the Big Island has to offer as well as going south and east to see Volcanoes National Park and venture to the rainforests near Hilo. Carl and Deb were fantastic hosts. We had all the privacy and responsiveness we needed as well as guidance upon request. Highly Recommend!

WOW

Great house - location is remote and very quiet - we had a wonderful time. We got in late our first night and the owners left the lights on for us with music playing - it was great especially after a very long travel day for all of us. The house is located in the southern area of the island which worked out well for us. It was close to Volcanoes National Park ( an hour away) and we got to see Kilauea flow! And it is only about 2 hours from Hilo and an hour from Kona. We had a great time exploring the southern end of the island and never felt like we were over run by tourists or crowds like you would find in Kona or Hilo. The plunge pool is pretty big and very refreshing - you can not get down to the ocean but we did feed the fish and saw turtles and dolphins several times during our stay. The house does not have AC but we did not need it in any of the rooms. There are ceiling fans in each room as well as several floor fans that you can move around as needed. The TV was huge and great to watch the basketball playoffs. We cooked dinner 3 of the nights we were in the house and the kitchen was great - it is fully equipped for whatever you need. There are mosquitos on this island but the owners had bug spray for us which was great. We would recommend staying here if you are looking for a relaxing vacation on the Big Island for sure!

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!!!

Beautiful views, amazing Sunsets.

We had a great stay and enjoyed this location and home very much. Super well equipped kitchen. Clean and no bugs in the house. (Bugs are usually a given in Hawaii, but no at Hale Pali!). Lots of spices which was a nice surprise. The ocean breeze was cool and delightful. Comfortable beds and furniture made it easy to relax and enjoy every day, even if we just stayed “home.”. Highly recommended and we will return again someday soon.

A Slice Of Hawaiian Heaven

The owners felt more like family than "just someone renting a vacation home". The location was exactly what we were looking for. Comfortable Exciting. Sometimes a bit thrilling! The music was playing when we arrived. We felt so welcome. The beds were comfy and the sofa was inviting but nothing (even the pictures) quite prepared us for the view. We saw dolphins, flying fish, whales, a turtle, pretty fish , and a shark! Lots of boating activity to watch as well as canoers and swimmers, and even divers.This is truly a cooker's kitchen! Lots of ways to make your stay a foodie feast. We were thrilled by high surf conditions so the blowhole was blowing! The natural pool is a great way cool off on a sunny afternoon. Plenty of seating options and umbrellas. We might have spent most of our time on the spacious lanai, soaking in the scenery and sunsets. Be careful though! Passion flowers are blooming and they are too pretty to step on! We spent a week up in town, and as nice and fun as that is, we were ready for some peace and quiet, sounds of the birds and the surf, and cold mai tais out in the lounge chairs. Bring your binoculars!!! There's a lot going on out in the ocean, and if you luck out and are there during whale season, you won't be disappointed. We absolutely loved Hale Pali, and hope to return!
