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.

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!

Charles and his wife greeted us, showed us around the place, and provided us with some “to see and do” suggestions. We saw in the guest book that they have a garden where we could get some fruits and vegetables. Charles was gracious enough to provide us with some. It was so nice and yummy!! The house was perfect for my husband and me. Everything we needed was provided and was comfortable. The property is beautiful! Look close at the pictures on the wall. Charles took many of them and they are beautiful! We would definitely stay here again.

We loved staying at Hale Pama, this guest house is surrounded by gardens and feels very private even though the main house is on the same property.
