About this property

HAWAII Hilo Town~Private GATED Botanical GARDEN COTTAGE w Koi Pond

The Paradise Cottage at Anthurium Hale located in Hilo Town is an upscale, very private, free-standing cottage, "tiny house" with mountain and garden views, exclusive gated garden entry overlooking your own koi pond.

Enjoy an intimate floral enhanced setting that features original Hawaii paintings with personal touches; your bed made up with 100% Egyptian cotton sheets, spa robes and slippers, crystal glassware in a well-appointed kitchenette that offers a champagne bucket should you desire. Enjoy a package of Kauai Coffee, Punaluu Mac Nut Cookies and give our a bottle of coconut water a taste. Experience a stroll under towering Hawaiian Hapu’u Ferns, relaxing on the balcony overlooking your koi pond as well as a floral landscape that is in bloom year-round.

Your complimentary reserved parking awaits you, as well as high speed internet, cable TV and a collection of non-video games from far and away.

The PARADISE COTTAGE at Anthurium Hale is a licensed vacation rental, operated by the owner who lives on site but is not a part of your private garden and cottage domain. We are available should you need assistance locating the address as well as parking and cottage plus questions or additional needs during your visit.

We understand your needs and have a little online Language Translator that can be of immediate assistance if we are not communicating adequately.

For guests that will be "working from home," we can additionally provide a standard height folding table and an additional chair on request, both portable. Experience either an indoor work environment or perform you tasks on the lanai or in the garden under a canopy of giant tree ferns with the sounds of a waterfall in the background.

Live free and enjoy.

About the host

Hosted by Jean Souza

Host profile image
Hawaii became my home in the 1960s and I have lived in on the Big Island since 2000. Hilo is home to the MERRIE MONARCH FESTIVAL, a huge international Hula competition that is held every April.

In my early years I frequently crewed on a charter fishing boat out of Kewalo Basin on Oahu which gave me the opportunity to travel by sea throughout the islands. I have visited them all, with the exception of Kahoolawe and Molokini and have crossed the channels more times than I can count.

I have two children, grown and on their own. I am the owner and operator of the online antiquarian entity, MANDARIN BOOKS HAWAII that deals exclusively in rare and vintage Pacific Isle books and art. (This interest, fueled by a bit of passion for the sea has further culminated in my "sailing" on a cruise ship from the mainland to Hawaii in the 70s and more recently, crewing from Hawaii to French Polynesia on a 38 foot sailboat. I also spent several months living aboard and sailing on a 43 foot s/v in the Bay of Islands, New Zealand followed by a passage from NZ to Tonga, American Samoa
and back home. I have had the privilege of traveling on the mainland, Canada, Italy, Portugal, Japan, France and the Czech Rep.. I love them all, but there's no place like
home.

Why they chose this property

After living in a Honolulu condo for many years we decided to get away from the city by moving to Hilo. It provided a wonderful small town environment along with the University of Hawaii from which my son graduated in 2005.

The property has changed much since our acquisition. We value both convenience and privacy, something that is not easily come by when one is only 3 miles from the mall and modern conveniences..

What makes this property unique

I am a lover of exotic birds and flowers, the sounds of nature and flowing water, i.e. our two koi ponds. We felt this property had potential to become our special in town paradise.
