Keith & Kelly’s Cliff House, Hale Pali was a comfy spacious home for our 12 day Big Island vacation. The beautiful sunsets from the large lani, the well appointed spotless kitchen and bbq, washer & dryer, walk in closet, open comfortable living room and dining area and bar style counter all made for a home away from home. Kelly was super available and communicative. This is a gem. Thanks guys for a great place!

We have used Home Away/VRBO throughout the US and Europe for 15 years or so. Almost always with kiddos afoot. Our trip to Hawai’i Island for my husband and I was cancelled twice due to unforeseen events. But it was worth the wait.
The first 5 days on Hawai’i Island was spent at this incredible property. We fell in love with this area south Kona…this property….and this neighborhood. It fit us perfectly. A few recommendations that are not the usual in tour books
- plan a day when you do not leave the neighborhood. Take advantage of your immediate surroundings, including Pebbles beach, a hidden black sands beach, the lanai, paradise :)
- back into the carport. The close neighbor will appreciate it.
- Always have dinner at the house! It’s the best freakin’ view for dinner anywhere on the west side of the island.
- when driving into Kona Paradise, on the first turn, if you see a sign that says “fresh fish” buy it immediately.
- Do a Kona coffee tour
- buy what you can at fruit/vege stands
- visit the local beaches. Swim swim swim in these beautiful waters.
- Most importantly, respect the Hawaiians and long time residents. That is my guiding rule wherever we travel. Do not act like a privileged traveler. Do not sweat the small inconveniences that may or may not arise. Ask questions that allow you to really listen and learn from from those around you.

The cliff house was the highlight of our trip. We wanted to get away from the hustle and bustle of Kona and cliff house was exactly that. A beautiful retreat with solitude and plenty of recreation nearby.

We enjoyed are stay at the Kona Cliff House. The house was clean and very well maintained. Beautiful view of the ocean and we enjoyed the sunsets at night. Our only recommendation is to rent a Jeep for touring the island. we would definitely return to this house. We loved the adventures of the island and to relax at the house afterwards. Thank you for sharing your house!

This property has wonderful views, is very clean, comfortable and quiet. We ate in every night during our stay to be there. Pebbles beach just down the road kept us in awe during some big swells and a coastal hike just off the beach we’re a huge bonus. Thank you Kelly for sharing your property!

A steep drive down with many switchbacks, but you get used to it! Quiet with a beautiful view that makes the property truly charming. The dining options nearby are not great, so plan on grabbing some nice steaks or fish and doing your own cooking, but that just makes this getaway special. Get it for the two of you and enjoy each other's company (and the view) and just relax!

The Kona Cliff house was super clean with everything we needed. We really appreciated the washer and dryer . We loved the ocean view from the lanai and very quiet neighborhood. We felt like royalty when we first walked in. Highly recommend staying here. We LOVED it!

We really enjoyed this house, view and stay. It was very comfortable and well set up. We lived on the large lanai watching the ocean or close by on the beaches snorkeling. It is way far out from Kona, good eateries and bars. Go prepared to isolate.

We really enjoyed staying at this home. Beautiful view, well maintained and supplies a plenty. Sunsets were awesome!! Stairs were a trial after I injured my ankle. Thank you!

This is a place to relax and enjoy a stunning view of the coast. Bed was so comfortable and it was very quiet at night. waking up each morning to the bird songs was heaven! Kitchen was the best equipped we have ever seen. Steps as mentioned are a workout!. Know that this remoteness requires a about a 30 minute drive each way to any services and you're are 45 munites each way to Kona.

The views from this home are incredible. Close to a pebble beach that is never crowded so perfect to pack up a picnic and spend a day lounging. The house itself is prestine and perfect for a couples getaway. Has just about everything you need. Their are small stores nearby but definitely stock up on essentials. Great small local restaurants also arent too far.
Only thing is the stairs to get up to the house from the car port are no joke, so pack lightly if you can. My husband and I are pretty decent shape, but it got us the first few times! :) Also the driveway and road to the house are steep so if you're renting a car low to the ground be careful. We had a jeep and were very happy about it.
All in all we consider it a top 3 in houses ever rented. The communication with the owners was also fabulous which is helpful. They were available to help us with questions when needed before and during the stay.
Can't wait to come back!

The Kona Cliff House offers a terrific step workout - no need for Peloton at this location ! Well appointed perch with expansive (and seductive) ocean view. Fully equipped house with painstaking attention given to assure maximum comfort. Outdoor shower and full laundry room on lower level is a big plus. Friendly neighbors. We look forward to a return visit. Mahalo Keith & Kelly !

Had a fantastic time staying in this beautiful property. Saw many whales while relaxing on the lanai.
