House was perfect. Everything you could possibly ask for. Loved feeding the fish. Beds were comfy too. If we make it back we will need to revisit!

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.

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!

This home has it all! Our stay was fantastic. Thank you so much C&D for your hospitality!

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!

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!

We had a very relaxing time at this beautiful place. The house was equipped with everything we needed. The views were spectacular. Thanks so much!!

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.

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!

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!

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!

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!

Stunning views from this roomy, well- equipped house! Plenty of space to spend out, both inside and out, as well as in the shade or sun. Best VRBO we’ve been into HI!

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.

Perfect location. Perfect house. Perfect home owners. Perfect. Perfect. Perfect!!! Made our vacation unforgetable.

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.

The property exceeded my expectations. The photos don’t quite do it justice as it’s more impressive in person. Sunsets are spectacular with the mini pool out front to dip in and cool off, we were very comfortable. Kitchen is very nicely stocked to make anything, which I have found, is not always common. Very quiet and relaxing neighborhood. Meeting the hosts Carl and Deb was a pleasure and a highlight of our trip!! Mahalo!!

What is a very great experience staying at the house never been to Hawaii and was very beautiful. The house was very relaxing and very very quiet with. That’s what we want it.

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.

Carl and Deb are fantastic hosts. The house is spacious and well stocked. The patio is perfection. We didnt miss a sunset. Would stay again.....& again.....& again.

You can’t beat the oceanfront location of the property. The sunsets are amazing. The house is beautiful and so spacious. the wrapped around porch is a plus to enjoy all that gorgeous view. The kitchen is very well stocked. The little natural pool is definitely an added bonus. The house doesn’t have AC but there’re ceiling and floor fans everywhere to keep the breeze flowing throughout the house. There’re mosquitoes (not just at the house but everywhere you go on the island) so use the spray that the host provides at the house. The closest town with markets/restaurants/services is in Ocean View, 25 mins away. We ate out during the day when we were out exploring the island then made dinner at home to enjoy the sunsets. The road down to the house is not as steep, windy, rugged as mentioned in some reviews, not any more than the average mountain roads in the mainland. We actually enjoyed the drive. Carl is very responsive during our stay and Dan the caretaker is quick to drop by with the beach towels (and gave us some honey from his farm). All in all, it was one of the best rentals we’ve had. I’ll definitely come back Hale Pali the next time we visit the Big Island.

The house and view were fantastic. The bedrooms were a little warm and the drive into the neighborhood is very steep but with spectacular views. I would definitely stay here again.

Hale Pali was a great home for our stay in Hawaii. The house has everything you need for a stay on the big island! And, Carl and Deb were so awesome. We enjoyed visiting with them one evening. We hope to be back someday!

Fantastic house with a magnificent ocean view and sunset in to the horizon. Great house for our family of 5. A very well equipped kitchen were we made great dinners. I really recommend anyone visiting Big Island to rent this house.

Every review is spot on. We've been to the Big Island once before so we kinda knew what to expect. We loved how remote it was but was still 25 minutes to a market. There is plenty of room for 4 or even more people. We had the pleasure of meeting Carl and Deb one night for some wine and just know that they are incredible, down to earth people! Thank you for such a great trip! As a bonus, the local kids came down to jump off the rock wall! They were very respectful and it was so fun to watch! We are already planning to come back. Mahalo Carl and Deb! J&S

We had a great time and Carl and Deb were so nice and very easy to work with. We really enjoyed staying at their beautiful house. Carl and Deb joined us for a glass of wine one night and we had a great time visiting with them. The view from the house was amazing!! Thank you, Carl and Deb for letting us enjoy your home. Sincerely, Jen, Toby, Denise and Dave

The Hale Pali was the perfect home for our vacation. We spent the days exploring the island , would come home, take a dip in the natural pool, have a glass of wine on the porch, watch the sunset and cook dinner in the spacious, well stocked kitchen. It was definitely paradise. We’ll be back!

We have been to the big island many times, but never this far south. It was a very different experience from staying in Kona but it was wonderful! It was so quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed our coffee on the front porch every morning and cocktails at sunset. We saw dolphins our first morning there. The pool was a big plus. Carl and Deb are wonderful people and hosts. We had the pleasure of sharing a bottle of wine with then one night. If you are looking for a quiet getaway with beautiful views this is the place!

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!

The Hale Pali was wonderful stay for us. The home is well equipped, clean and perfectly laid out for relaxation, meal prep, eating, etc. It is located in an unique location on top of a lava cliff overlooking the Pacific to the west with a long seawall where it is fun to view down into the water (we saws lots of fish, hammerhead shark, sea turtles, flying fish). Take the time in the mornings as sun hits water to look for sea life, you will see things! Sunset viewing is tops and make sure you try to catch every one during your visit there. As other reviewers have stated, this is a place to go to get away from crowds and get some R&R, expect about an hour drive from Kona airport along a curvy highway (speed limit mostly 35 to 45 mph along the way to get there). Many reviewers mention the windy road from the highway to the house and indeed the road requires careful navigation but once you drive it a few times, it is really not that bad at all, just drive smart. In fact, any road you drive to the ocean/beach on the island is going to be a curvy drive anyways. This location puts you in a not too long a drive to Volcanoes NP, South Point, Black Sand Beach, Green Sand Beach, and the lesser known but worth it Kakuku Unit of Volcanoes NP near Ocean View. Our favorite beach was Ho‘okena Beach Park, just a little more than a 30 min. drive to the north from the house. The snorkeling is fabulous, warm showers, decent restrooms and spinner dolphins. Was great to meet Carl & Debra. Mahalo

We very much enjoyed our time at this beautiful home. Everything is exactly as pictured. Our only issue is needing more a/c for sleeping, as we weren't quite as ready for the heat as we thought we'd be. Overall, there were plenty of supplies to cook and clean as needed. Everything was perfectly appointed. We are already considering coming back.

Our family had an amazing stay here, everything about this house is beautiful. If you get the opportunity to meet Carl and Deb, I highly recommend it as they are the warmest, friendliest couple and our evening visiting with them was one of the highlights of our trip.
