The Neighborhood:

Your stay is set in the heart of Hilo, the Big Island’s charming and laid-back east side. This isn’t the resort scene — it’s authentic Hawaiʻi. Wake to the sound of coqui frogs and tropical rain showers that give the island its lush gardens and waterfalls. Within minutes, you can stroll along Hilo Bay, browse the Hilo Farmers Market for local fruit and crafts, or enjoy island-roasted coffee at a café downtown.

The neighborhood blends peaceful residential streets with the natural beauty of Wailoa River State Recreation Area, nearby beaches like Carlsmith (right outside the door), Richardson Ocean Park, and Onekahakaha, and easy access to volcano adventures at Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park (about 45 minutes away).

By night, the air cools, the sky fills with stars, and you’ll feel what locals call the “old Hawaiʻi” rhythm — calm, friendly, and unhurried. Hilo is the perfect home base to explore waterfalls, black-sand beaches, lava tubes, and all the hidden gems of the Big Island’s east coast.



Getting Around:

A car is recommended to explore the island. Uber and Lift are possible to and from the Airport.



Other Things to Note:

In the Hawaiian Tradition, please remove shoes when entering.

From the moment you arrive, we full respect your privacy but are never more than a message away if you need anything.

When we vacation we don’t spend much time in the places we rent. With that being said, our time spent in the condo was everything we needed. Location to the water was perfect, couldn’t be any closer. Communication with owners was fast and on point. Had one concern with parking, but was taken care of in a timely manner.

Pool was not heated. Sliding door screen wouldn’t stay on the track - it was missing a wheel. No grab bars for safety getting out of bathtub/shower. Never understood how to watch Xumo or FireTV. Aside from that we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Hawaii

We enjoyed our stay here while we were in Hilo. The condo was very clean nicely, decorated, comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen, and a beautiful view of the ocean and lush vegetation. The host was very welcoming and responsive and gave very clear instructions for getting in and out the unit. We will definitely stay here again my next trip to Hilo.
