Family Fun!!
We gathered together from Colorado, Texas and Australia. It was delightful, private and much better weather than we expected. Also, thanks to help from Matt we were able to enjoy a beautiful evening cooked by Dori. It really was a special treat. The pool and grounds are lovely so we used them daily. Would definitely recommend this home for family gatherings.

We had a fabulous time. The property is unbelievable and so well designed. Private bedrooms with unbelievable showers. So much living space where we could enjoy each other and relax. So many areas where we could hang out together or go off for quiet time. Pool area was perfect for everyone.

50th birthday party get together
Spectacular private estate with wonderful views and amenities. The guest suites and overall layout makes for a perfect, comfortable get away for multiple couples. Estate grounds are beautiful and well manicured. We all felt like we were at a luxury private resort. Would definitely stay there again.

A Fabulous Place To Stay!!
We had such a wonderful time here, celebrating birthdays, anniversaries, and retirement! The property is gorgeous, just as pictured. The kids loved the swimming pool and also the pool table. The hot tub was enjoyed by all! Matt, the on-site property manager, was so helpful and great with communication. We had a dinner cooked by a private chef, Chef Dori, and it really lived up to the hype. This was one for the memory book, for sure!

Beautiful estate away from the bustle
Gorgeous view eating on the lanai every day, as well as the pool and hot tub. Rural location, so very peaceful-the only noise in the morning being the neighborhood roosters chatting back and forth. It was about 1.5 hours from Kona, so we tried to bundle activities together on that side of thrbisland to cut down on road time.

Amazing property
We enjoyed everything about our stay at this property. Everything was just as advertised and the property manager was extremely accessible and responsive. It felt like we were 100% secluded until we needed something and then it felt like calling down to the lobby of a hotel and Matt was right there. Very impressed with the service and the place was just as nice as the pictures promise. Pool was bigger than I thought it would be. We all want to come back.

Perfect for small family get-together
This place is great for 4 couples! Basically, there is a wing of four suites, each quite spacious and comfy. We used most/all of the amenities and had a great time. While the place is a bit dated, and it's not convenient to grocery shopping or restaurants, you just need a little planning to make it all work perfectly, which it did for us.

Ideal house and setting on Hawaii
Our favorite parts of the Hawaiian islands are typically the North shores with smaller towns, lush green vegetation and no high rise hotels and this house is in a perfect spot. The house itself is perfectly designed and the gardens surrounding it are awesome. We usually pick new spots for all our family vacations, but there has already been talk of coming back.

A true paradise!
We had a fantastic time and enjoyed every aspect of the property. Waking up to surreal sunrises, spectacular ocean views, a peek of Mauna Kea, to dazzling hues from the sky to the ocean and throughout the entire well manicured grove of fruit trees and palms on the estate at different times of the day. The property and amenities made for a Peaceful, mesmerizing, enchanting and enticing stay, with everything you could possibly want in a vacation.

WOW loved our time here.
Matt was great for local resources, flora & fauna to look for and be cautious about. Must have vehicle, recommend checking pantry prior to shopping. Hilo Safeway MUCH better than walmart for staples. Recommend local market in downtown Hilo for fish, meat, chicken. Highly recomend.

Tropical paradise
This property was everything we hoped for and more. I was there with my family and we enjoyed an amazing time. The house with the theater was wonderful. The bedrooms with the big showers was a big hit with everyone. The pool and hot tub was a big hit. I would highly recommend this property and hope that we can return some day. Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful home

Dream Vacation
We were absolutely blown away by this place! I still can't believe how beautiful the property and house was. The online pictures do not even begin to do it justice. We had 2 families staying at the house (9 people total) and had plenty of space for everyone to sleep comfortably. And the pool...OMG! It was amazing! The view was gorgeous! We honestly had the best time and I am so happy we chose this house for our stay in Hawaii!

Greatest Family Vacation Ever, Springer family of 7 Dec. 22-Jan 5th.
We had the most wonderful time at this property. The set up of the bedrooms and the great gathering area was fabulous. The pool and hot tub was used every day of our two week stay. The property is beautiful and the view is outstanding. Joe was a great source of information on places to go and eat on both sides of the island. I would recommend this property to everybody. I hope we can make it back some time in the future

Beautiful setting north of Hilo
Royal Palms Estate is a lovely, very private home north of Hilo with its own fruit orchard on site. We had fresh juice every morning, enjoyed the spectacular view of the ocean and had plenty of room for our family of six to spread out. If you want non-stop sunshine and a beach, this is not the place for you. If you want to get a feel for the "real" Hawai'i, see beautiful waterfalls, explore Volcanoes National Park and learn some history of the Big Island, this is a great home base.

About the host

Hosted by Jeffrey Owen

Host profile image
The owner's of this joint venture are four families who are three bother's and their best friend. All four families come from Southern California. Each brought their own special skills and desires (agriculture, technology, and luxury lounging) in building this sprawling resort home.

Why they chose this property

A relaxing, elegant, and peaceful retreat from the stresses of life.
The Royal Palms Estate offers the opportunity to relax and enjoy the company of your multi-generational family members or friends without having to go to the hotel lobby or restaurant to do so.

What makes this property unique

On the property, you can share a fresh cup of coffee on the front lanai with a 220 degree view of the ocean and migrating whales, a midnight stroll down the moon lit driveway of 75 Royal Palms towering 60 feet in the starlit sky, swimming in the 50, 000 gallon infinity edge pool overlooking the ocean, sunning on the pool deck, relaxing in the pool lanai or swim up bar, enjoying a jacuzzi next to the 8 foot waterfall, watching a movie or sporting event on the 16 foot theatre screen, or playing a game of pool.
