Pali Hale is your epic oceanfront "home in Hawaii". Pronounced “pah-lee hah-leh”, which in Hawaiian means “Cliff House”, it's the ideal center for your Island adventures or just relaxing in paradise with breathtaking 180 degree ocean views and the sight and sounds of crashing waves in front of you. 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". Watch turtles, dolphins and whales (in season) swimming right in front of you. Pali Hale is a newer spacious 2000sqft home with views from every corner of the house. Three bedrooms and three and a 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 all have brand new "Tempur-pedic" breeze cool gel-style mattresses for your comfort during your stay. A separate oceanfront family room with a futon offers oceanfront views and lanai access with an adjoining full bathroom which is shared by the garden bedroom that has a queen bed and offers garden views and ocean views 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. 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. We have a rare Nene family who typically fly in and stroll around the yard each day. We have geckos 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.
