If you're hestitating about booking Carl and Deb's home Hale Pali, don't, just do it!! We loved the quiet tranquility of their cliff edge home away from home. It's very spacious, clean, & has many amenities one would ever need or expect from a vacation home. From boogie boards, beach chairs, & coolers for a day out, to the fully equipped kitchen for meals at night! Things that are a big budget saver like spices, condiments, foil, wrap, tp, & even dispensers in the the bathrooms that have shampoo, conditioner, & soap!
There is a/c in the primary, but we never used it, as we had fans going & windows open which kept it cool for sleeping. We did go to Costco & Walmart to pick up the main food items needed for our stay, but went to local stores for picking up items we forgot, or items to add to our meals. We had breakfast and supper at the house & ate out for lunch in the local areas we were in while we were out and about for the day. The drive is a bit down the from the highway to the house down a winding road with beautiful views all the way down to the coast. That being said, while driving, if we are going slower taking in the sights, we always made every effort to pull over to let the Island folks get by, as alot of areas of the roads are not passable. We're on vacation & not in a hurry, but often Island folks are working, so we tried to be mindful of that! They do appreciate it! Along the way there are a couple of farms with self serve stands that sell various fruit & nuts. If you are heading to the nearest beach, the folks in the little community of Milolii are very friendly. While at the house getting up every morning & having breakfast on the lanai was personally one of my favourite things that we just wouldn't be able to do at home. We tried to be back in time for the amazing sunsets every night! It goes quick, but worth it, as it was beautiful! At night, looking up & seeing the stars shining bright in the sky, no city lights or noise, just the waves crashing into the cliffs. All these things & so much more is why if we are fortunate enough, we will stay at Carl and Deb's Hale Pali again!
Deb and Carl are wonderful folks & live close by. If they contact you to get together at the house, definitely take them up on their offer. They simply want to meet up & get to know about you, as well let you know about them. They bring with them great wine & great conversation! Our family truly enjoyed the visit! Thanks so much!
