We had a wonderful time at this guest home! Not only was the home perfectly appointed, but the location couldn’t have been more delightful. It was so close to many of the areas we wanted to visit on the Hilo side. Plus, it was so relaxing! During the day it was very quiet and peaceful and at night, the birds and frogs gave us a built in sound machine right outside the windows! We barely used the air conditioner (once for about 30 minutes). The rest of the time the overhead fan was plenty. And we found plenty of food and restaurant options nearby. Kathy and Charles were great hosts! So pleased we were able to stay here!

Perfect spot for a couple to relax and enjoy nature. Great BBQ and outdoor table set for evening meals. Beautifully landscaped. Everything you need for easy meals & grilling.

We had a fantastic 2 week stay at the House of Palms. Charles and Kathy were great hosts who had created the perfect home away from home. Some of the features we enjoyed the most were the privacy of the unit, the lanai, gorgeous garden-like setting and the amenities that were available. The heat pump provided great comfort due to its temperature and humidity control. The home-grown fruit that was provided to us was a real treat.

Secluded sanctuary for a relaxing stay

We did enjoy our relaxing stay tremendously. Charles is a great host. He was very helpful and accommodating. He shared advice about the best local beaches, where to go in the Volcanoes National park, and even lent us one of his tripods to take great pictures of the newly started eruption. This is definitely a place to stay and we will recommend it to our friends (in fact, we ourselves got it recommended from our friends who stayed here before :)). Thanks, Charles, and all the best for you and your wife for the future!

Quiet little guest house retreat

The property and accomodations was just perfect for capping off our stay at the big island. Kathy and Charles spent some time with us past check out chatting about various ins and outs of coming to the island and were happy to share their experiences with us. The guest house was well appointed and set apart from the main house, we never felt like we were being a bother coming and going and thanks to the landscaping were always separate enough from views of either domicile from the other that we never felt "too close." There was a plethora of information about the area, from places to eat, things to do and see, and possible safety issues with that side of the island. I would absolutely return to this property.
