About this house rental
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.

10 / 10Outstanding·May 2026
The house was absolutely AMAZING! The view for our morning coffee was perfect everyday. We went to the farmers markets, Volcanoes national park, Hawaiian Botanical gardens, black sand beach, Jackie Reys in Hilo for dinner, and walks along the cliffs. You will definitely need to have a car, but it was easy to navigate around the island.The bedrooms and bathrooms were all very comfortable and had plenty of towels. The kitchen is roomy and had everything we needed. The communication with Mike was great. He gave us updates on the volcano eruption and told us about the Maku'u farmers market. The houe guide they have is a great source for local things to do.We hated to have to leave.
10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2026
The view of the ocean was outstanding!!! Possibly the best view in Hawaii from your back porch. Staying near Hilo was calm and convenient to the National Park and Mauna Kea and only a couple hours from everywhere else on the island! The hosts were so welcoming and hospitable!! I would highly recommend that anyone who wants to have a magical experience in Hawaii to stay here!
8 / 10Excellent·Mar 2026
We had a fantastic stay! The host was incredibly helpful and communicative from day one. The house is perfectly designed, offering ocean views from every room including the bathrooms. The covered balconies were a highlight, making it easy to enjoy the waves even in the rain.A few things to note for future guests:Accessibility: The stairs to the house and main area are non-standard and require some physical effort to navigate.Windows & Air: Some windows are stuck due to salt air, but plenty of others work, and the fans provide great airflow.Sensitivities: The home had many scented plug-ins active upon arrival. If you have allergies, you may want to unplug them immediately.Location: It’s a secluded 5-6 miles from town. We recommend stocking up at Walmart before arriving, as prices are much better than Foodland.This is a beautiful, quiet retreat—perfect if you're looking to stay in and relax!
5 / 10·Apr 2023
We stayed 5 days. The water crashing against the rocks was much better than I expected. Waves make a wonderful crashing sound as the top of the wave curls and breaks apart the structure of the wave. We heard plenty of that. When big waves crashed against the 20 foot cliffs without breaking, it sounded like thunder and the waves splashed 10-15 higher than the cliffs. It was hard to look away. I stared at the waves while lying in bed. I stated at the waves while doing dishes. We would go elsewhere and have an adventure, and then come back and stare at the waves. We absolutely loved this home.
