Rental Details

Rental Overview

Why You'll Love It:

Prime Downtown Location: Enjoy the ultimate convenience of being right in the heart of Hilo town. You are just a short, 5-minute walk to KTA Super Stores for fresh local groceries and minutes away from the vibrant downtown Hilo Farmers Market, local restaurants and bars, Target, and Walmart.

Proximity to Beaches: Perfect for outdoor enthusiasts, this central studio places you just minutes away from Hilo's stunning coastline and iconic natural wonders. You can swim and snorkel with green sea turtles at spring-fed lagoons like Carlsmith Beach Park, or walk along the famous black sands of Richardson Ocean Park, both located within a 10-to-12-minute drive. If you prefer to lace up your hiking boots, you are less than 10 minutes from the roaring waters of Rainbow Falls and the underground lava tubes of Kaumana Caves.

Tropical Backyard Oasis: Relax on a massive, lush one-acre lot. Step outside to enjoy garden views, lounge on the grass, or fire up the community BBQ grill for dinner under the stars.
