Clean modern room with beautiful view of the lagoon and park area! Great kitchen and supplies for bath and laundry. The AC works great in each room. We were very comfortable here and will come back asap! Owner communication was clear and accommodating. Five Stars!!
My daughter and I absolutely loved our stay, lovely clean accommodation, our Hosts really looked after us and was very accommodating, would definitely come back again.
Location in center of Hilo close to all the things that you would want to do while on vacation. The apartment is nicely renovated and had everything that we needed for our five day stay. Also has nice views of the Hilo lagoon. We really enjoyed our stay at this property and would highly recommend it.
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.
We were here for a family reunion and this was a perfect location. The views are absolutely gorgeous and it's such a peaceful view.
Would definitely stay here again.
Mahalo nui loa.
Loved our stay, especially the deck that overlooks the lake and being on the grounds of a park. Location convenient for all the sights.
Wish the washer and dryer were in the condo

Each floor in the Hilo Lagoon has excellent Laundry room with 3 washers and 2 dryers, always kept clean and tidy. The condo development does not allow washers or dryers inside of the units. Wish we could change that, but believe me this is not an issue and you will love the unit and the Hilo Lagoon. Far exceeds any Hilo Hotel.
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).
We enjoyed the proximity to the airport, area restaurants. The pool was so refreshing. Unit was so cute and clean. Felt like home. Property itself needs some updating but had a great stay. Terry was awesome and responsive and gave great recommendations for things to do.
We live in Hawaii, travel to Hilo frequently, and this place is a real gem. Centrally located, well appointed, very clean, and with a great view. Will definitely stay here again! There were only two of us, but it would also be very comfortable for 4. We highly recommend.
Hilo isn’t the most picturesque town in Hawai’i but having this nicely renovated unit on a large park helps to make it as comfortable as possible. Close to all the good restaurants, would stay here again. Thanks!
Convenient location, beautiful view, clean and spacious unit. It was a great fit for our family of 4! We very much appreciated the beach towels, chairs, sand toys, etc. We also appreciated the recommendations for restaurants and places to see in the area.
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.
