Two large oceanfront master suites, two spacious oceanfront living rooms all to yourself with ocean views from every corner of the house. Did we mention the views?<br /><br /><b>The space</b><br />Pali Hale is one of the most popular and recommended Vacation Rentals on the Hawai'i coast.

Pali Hale is a newer construction spacious 2000sqft modern "hawaii ocean front style" 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.

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.<br /><br />The Volcano<br />Pali Hale is a popular homebase for Volcano adventuring. Only 26 miles from Volcanos National Park entrance, makes it a convenient drive for the day visit, or "at the drop of hat" when lava viewing conditions are perfect. We provide tips, recommendations and guides on how to best visit the park and volcano whether there is a current eruption happening or not. Our website is also a wealth of up to the minute info on the volcano viewing conditions, with live science data and live cams from the volcano to help you plan your adventures at Kilauea.<br /><br /><b>Guest access</b><br />Rates:<br />Rates are based on # of guests staying. <br /><br />Standard Season Rates: <br />2 Guests: $299/nt ($399/nt High Season)<br />4 Guests: $399/nt ($499/nt High Season)<br />6 Guests: $499/nt ($599/nt High Season)<br /><br />There is a base rate for 2 persons and an add'l fee per each add'l guest over 2 - up to 6 guests maximum.
