Lovely little place. Clean and very comfortable. It is in a quiet neighborhood and we enjoyed listening to the coqui at night. Great location for traveling to Hilo, Volcanoes, and the southern portion of the island.

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.

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. Host is on site but the guest cottage is hidden in the lush greenery and very private. We enjoyed some of the fresh fruit grown on the property - nice treat.

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.
