Pali Hale is your epic oceanfront "home in Hawaii". Pronounced “pah-lee hah-leh”, which in Hawaiian means “Cliff House”, it is the ideal center for all your Island adventures or just relaxing in paradise with breathtaking 180 degree ocean views and sight and sounds of crashing waves in front of you. Just 18mi from Hilo. Two large oceanfront master suites, two spacious oceanfront living rooms & views from every corner of the house. Did we mention the views?
Pali Hale is one of the most popular and recommended Vacation Rentals on the Hawai'i coast. Many of our guests return year after year to Pali Hale, their own oceanfront "home away from home in Hawaii".
The House
Three bedrooms and three and half baths with two separate oceanfront master suites each with their own private bath offer spectacular ocean views and lanai access. Both master bedrooms and the garden bedroom also have new "Tempur-pedic" breeze cool gel-style mattresses for your comfort during your stay. A spacious 2nd family room also offers ocean views, a queen futon, and lanai access with an adjoining full bathroom which is shared by the 3rd bedroom which offers a queen bed with garden views and ocean peeks through the living area. A large kitchen with new modern appliances and a full laundry room provide all the conveniences of home right on your own oceanfront oasis. See and hear the ocean waves crashing against the famous Puna lava cliffs, from every corner of the house.
300mbps WIFI Internet access, 300 channels HD TV, Hi-def movies, and house phone with unlimited United States calling are all included with your stay.
One of the best features to look for in oceanfront living is oceanfront sleeping accommodations, listening to the sound of the waves and waking to spectacular sunrises in the mornings. Not all oceanfront vacation homes have even a single oceanfront bedroom. But Pali Hale offers two spacious oceanfront master bedrooms plus an oceanfront family room with sleeping accommodations. Because Pali Hale uniquely offers multiple oceanfront sleeping accommodations, it is ideal for families, couples, multi-couple, and corporate getaways. But unlike many other properties, at Pali Hale everyone can enjoy the views and experience!
The Nature
You may see and hear whales in front of the house during whale season from November thru May. Spinner dolphins and green turtles (Honu) can be spotted in the surf in front of the house year round. We have a rare Nene family who typically fly in and stroll around the yard each day (our Nene family are currently on vacation, but you are likely to see others around the neighborhood each day). We have geckos around the property who love to come out and sun and Coqui rainforest tree frogs who love to sing at night providing the perfect tropical backdrop against the sound of crashing waves.
Guest Assistance
Pali Hale is our treasured 2nd home in paradise and we are excited to share it with you and hope it makes your stay on the Big Island extra special. Bo and I are available by phone, text, and email for questions, island advice, and help. Our caretaker lives close by and is also available for hire to help you book activities or tour the island.
We also provide you with island and puna area guides with our personal recommendations to island activities and local dining and shopping. You don't have to worry about finding a good place to eat :)
Payment schedule option: We are able to accept bookings for your stay in 2 or 3 payments upon request.
Note: If you would like multi-payment option, do not instant book, instead please put in a booking inquiry and let us know you would like 2 or 3 payments, and we will adjust the payment schedule before we approve the booking inquiry.
The neighborhood
Activities at Pali Hale include - spectacular gorgeous sunrises, whale watching (during season typically end of Nov thru end of April - peak is Jan/Feb/Mar), green turtles and dolphin spotting, cliff front fishing (caution and care must be taken near cliff edges), and just relaxing the days away on either of the two lanais.

Early Check-in or Late Check-out:
Since we reopened after Covid shutdown, our cleaning staff has added add'l prep time to facilitate more strict vacation rental guidelines regarding sanitization procedures and requires more buffer time between guests, so we are less likely to be able to accommodate early check-ins and late check-outs or early luggage drop-offs at this time. We apologize for any inconvenience regarding this.
