Exactly as described. Beautiful condo with lovely views from all three lanais. Great place to watch sunrise. Comfortable, clean, quiet and well-equipped. Convenient location. Coin-op laundry down the hall worked fine for us. Good air conditioning and comfortable furnishings. Responsive host. No complaints. Would stay again and highly recommend.

Loved our stay! This place was exceptionally clean! Large and spacious. Looks newly renovated. 3 separate balconies with great views. Terry was so helpful and accommodating making our stay an ease. Coffee/bakery shop right downstairs. Crusin Coffee (drive thru coffee/food) right across the street along with the popular Kawamoto's (japanese style lunch box/okazu).

This condo was beautiful, and nicely updated. It had all that you needed in the kitchen. They have chairs, beach towels, and a cooler to use. The view was out over the lagoon and a park. The building is old, but this condo is new, and the elevators(3 of them) are super fast. The only complaint I have was the second bedroom got full of gnats that I had to sweep up. We used this as our dressing room, so it wasn't a bother. No where else in the condo was that an issue. I would stay there again in a heartbeat.

From booking to check out the whole process was seamless. We enjoyed exploring beautiful Hilo from this location, including Rainbow and Akaka falls, volcanoes national park and the farmers markets. Hilo Burger Joint, Cafe Pesto, Nector cafe, Kuhio Grille - Home Of The Famous 1lb Laulau were all delicious places within walking distance that we ate at and the service was great. We enjoyed beverage on the balcony each evening overlooking the lagoon and our girls loved the ducks and koi fish at the pond. Would definitely recommend staying here. Thankyou! From Australia :)

Where do I begin, this rental property was exactly what we needed during our stay in Hilo. It was in a quiet part of town, yet, still walking distance to so many awesome sites. It was super clean and had all the cooking utensils and wares we could ever ask for. The host was always prompt when we had questions and the property was always secure thanks to the guards in the lobby. This property made our stay in Hilo even better. The view of the lagoon was breathtaking, especially if you were up early enough to catch the sunrise. There is a reason this property is a 10/10. Thank you so much for having us.

This condo is immaculate. Building is older. However, security on duty 24/7. Unit is on 7th floor and elevator is fast. Assigned parking. Cooler and freezer packs provided which made it easy to pack a lunch and snacks daily for exploring. Washer/dryer is down the hall and uses quarters which are easy to get in security office. Laundry was not an issue and certainly easier than if staying in a hotel. Most importantly, the beds were so comfortable and unit quiet. We slept well every night. We would stay here again.

Loved the location over a beautiful quiet lagoon. Super clean and updated and fully stocked. It had all the comfort & details of a home away from home, with updated kitchen and bathroom luxuries. The bldg was quiet and clean, it was great being in an end unit. The beds & pillows were SO comfortable and towels fluffy and new. Would highly recommend! All of Terry’s recommendations were helpful for places to eat and things to do. Hilo is a quaint little beach town, nothing flashy or commercial like the other islands and Kona. People are very friendly and appreciate the visitors. So many beautiful gardens, drives & walking trails thru lush forests and waterfalls to discover. Use the guide books so you don’t pass them up!

This place is even nicer in person. After seeing the modern decor, quality furnishings and appliances, and fully stocked kitchen, we also noticed how clean it was! Spotless. This made for a thoroughly comfortable and enjoyable trip. The other listings mentioned how the building itself was older, and yes, it is, but the inside of this condo was new, clean, and so comfortable. Great location as well. The host was readily available for any questions and provided a nice list of things to do in Hilo, most of which we did! Great stay!

Beautiful place, very well appointed and maintained. The setup with 2 bedrooms separated by living room was ideal! Smallish living room, but we only had two people, so it was OK as we didn't spend much time at the unit. Walking distance to great latte and breakfast sandwiches (Just Cruisin). Laundry facilities on each floor was very handy, covered parking was great. Would definitely stay again.
