Parklike 4 bedroom AnthuriumHouse, 3+ acres, peaceful, gated, convenient

Anthurium House is lovely! We enjoyed the beautiful surroundings, the sounds of the koki frogs, the hosts were wonderful and the house was the perfect size for the number of guests we had for the Merrie Monarch Festival! The outdoor shower was a treat!! And the kitchen was nice and big and became our gathering place!

Overall this is a great property for a family to stay in. The communication was great and first day visit to explain everything was very helpful. Some suggestions for owner:1) Fan and light fixtures should be changed for convenience. As the fan speed cannot be controlled and light needs be turned on via table lamp.2) For bigger families, it would be great to have standing shower along with jacuzzi. Otherwise, there is only one shower indoors.

The home was very nice but the highlight was the beautiful grounds. Beds were comfortable and there were fans in every room because there is no AC or heat. Not an issue in Hilo when the property is upslope. Very temperate year round. Kitchen was well equipped and the host lives in a private residence on the property so if you needed anything they were nearby. Everyday the “property manager”brought us fruit from the many fruit bearing trees on the property.

I never actually stayed there. I'm not sure why or how this owner could rate me. My mother had a life threatening medical emergency and we had to leave immediately to say our goodbyes. When I told the host our situation, he just told me not to worry about this, and that he understood. What he didn't tell me was that there would be no refund or even a partial refund. I continued to receive automated notifications during the days we were scheduled to be there, which he told me to ignore and that he knew we weren't there. I would have rather him just letting me know up front, so that I wouldn't be surprised later. I'm rating my overall experience as 2 stars. I didn't stay there, so I can't say anything negative about cleanliness or location or anything else. It looks like a nice place, wish we could have stayed there and not had to deal with all we did.

Steve and Akiko has provided best possible service during our 4 days stay at this property. The location was very nice, the info provided by the host was very helpful. Steve and Akiko made sure that we have everything needed to make our stay very comfortable. Both were very easily available for any help. Kids had a great time. We were able to enjoy his backyard patio for morning tea, his garden was very beautiful. All in all it was our best stay and we will certainly come back to stay again.

This stay and house was amazing, as well as the hosts! Clear communication, beautiful property and close to Hilo. We even had one of our party members accidentally leave their water bottle at the house and they notified us immediately, so we were able to have family in Hilo pick it up for us.We would definitely stay again, Mahalo!

I brought my hula haumana from Texas to the Big Island for an educational trip. I am originally from O'ahu, but even as a child, the Big Island was a special place to me. After this trip, and staying in the beautiful anthurium home, it's even more special of a place. Steve, Noko, and Akikio were wonderful and attentive hosts. The home is absolutely stunning, we did not want for anything. The communication prior to arrival was excellent and we enjoyed sharing our journey with them. Will absolutely stay here again the next time I'm in Hilo!!!

My husband and his coworkers enjoyed their stay in this beautiful home. Steve was a wonderful host. They were quick to respond to messages/questions we had. The location is perfect. A hidden gem away from busier town area, yet still close enough to town for convenience. We would definitely choose them again for future trips to Hilo. Highly recommended.

Lovely all around

We absolutely loved our stay at the Anthurium house. Noko and Akiko were very responsive to all our questions and needs. The BBQ was out of order when we arrived and they had a brand new one for us the next day. The house is beautiful and had everything we needed for a wonderful stay. The best part was their friendly dog Sky we got to play with! Thank you for a wonderful stay!
