Lovely, quiet, pineapple retreat
Owners were easy to communicate and coordinate with. Quiet neighborhood, lovely landscaping for views and privacy. Pineapples literally growing right outside the window, and they shared cut pineapple and limes, from their property. Would definitely recommend and stay again.

Private Oasis
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.

The cottage is well equipped. The landscaping in the yard is beautiful and makes the cottage very secluded. The bed is comfortable and the kitchen is well stocked. We enjoyed our stay.

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!

This was the cleanest, most thoughtfully stocked place! The owners go way above and beyond! We felt so comfortable and at home after busy days of exploring. And we were treated to the best pineapple ever from their garden! Extremely gracious hosts. Thank you for such warm hospitality!

Wonderful Stay!!
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.

Garden Oasis
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. Charles was always helpful with our questions and it was a lovely place to relax at the end of the day. We even got to pick a pineapple for breakfast! It was wonderful. The location is convenient and near the highway but you will need a car to get around.

We loved our stay at Hale Pama. The property is beautiful and the guest house is very comfortable. Charles and Kathy added so many extras! They were kind and gracious hosts, even offering fresh produce from their garden. Although the weather was a bit rainy, we still had an amazing time. The guest house is very secure and quiet. If you’re staying in Hilo, this is the place to be!

Better than a hotel
Our stay at Charles home was amazing. The big island of Hawaii is beautiful and staying local helped us experience the parts of Hawaii that may have been missed had we stayed in a tradigional hotel/suite. The home was immaculate and had ALL the essentials plus some extras! The binder and a number of books were also very helpful when planning our meals and daily activities and sqeezing in some extra experiences. 5 stars and two thumbs up all around!
