Spacious air conditioned, two bedroom-two bath condo; a tropical paradise in the heart of Hilo. Comfort with Aloha.
Kūlani—close to paradise in Hawai’ian.
Kūlani and the peace and tranquility of its tropical setting are your welcome to Hilo. — Three private lanais overlook the beautiful Wailoa River and parkland — a lush blue and green world with coconut palms swaying in the breeze over sparkling waters. Greet the day from your lanai. Savor the charms of the Hawaiian landscape. Begin your day on the lanai with the Hilo sunrise and catch the white egrets daily flights up-river. Later unwind in the condo’s shared saltwater pool.
Located conveniently in the heart of vibrant Hilo Town, Kūlani is newly-remodeled, chic and comfortable. An ideal launchpad to explore Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park and other Big Island adventures.
Decorated with a nod to mid-century modern, the tasteful decor mirrors the relaxed tropical setting.
The two spacious bedrooms comfortably sleep four, each with an ensuite bathroom. Luxuriate in the custom-built beds hand-crafted from sustainably-harvested local woods. Created by a Hilo artisan, the mid-century modern king—classically inspired yet reimagined—showcases Big Island Ohia, EarPod and Monterey Cypress while the Rainbow Eucalyptus queen’s headboard is accented by a live edge. The spacious bedrooms are outfitted for comfort with quality linens, dresser, full closets and have private bathrooms with a tub/shower combo. The well-equipped kitchen is ideal for enjoyable in-condo cooking and dining.
The living room includes a high-end pale blue leather sofa, dining table seating for four, and flat screen smart TV. Enjoy the included high-speed Wi-Fi and air conditioning. Coin-operated washers and dryers are just down the hall. Contactless check in, designated parking for one vehicle, short-term visitor parking as well as 24/7 building security with security cameras (exterior of condo).

We had a great 4-day stay in this beautiful condo, sun-filled with 3 balconies looking onto quiet park land. Comfortable beds, very clean. Bedrooms were spacious, bathrooms well laid out. Easy access in a high rise building. Laundry room on the floor was a big convenience for us. The galley kitchen is really only big enough to accommodate one cook at a time, but it's very well equipped to make simple meals. We were only a 10 minute drive from most places we wanted to visit in Hilo. Terry, the host, was exceptionally helpful in providing info not just about the condo, but about restaurants and things to do in the area.
Beautiful, comfortable unit inside and out! Loved looking down on the koi in the water directly below while sitting on any one of the 3 lanais! Close proximity to downtown shopping and farmers markets and fun swimming and snorkeling beaches. Only a 45 minute drive to Volcanos Notional Park. Spent a few different days there with so much to see and hike! Would without a doubt book again!
Great accommodation! The park setting was peaceful and enjoyable compared to many with busy streets nearby. Close to most of the Hilo attractions and restaurants. Would stay here again.
Lovely comfortable and well appointed condo with nice lagoon views. Bright and airy, bring eye masks if you want to sleep past sunrise. Enjoyed our stay.
We had a wonderful stay at the condo in Hilo. It’s in a perfect location for the Hilo farmers market and snorkeling at Richardson’s beach. The a/c was welcome after a day of outdoor activities and the 2 bedroom/2 bath setup was perfect for me and my adult daughter. Everything was super clean and the beds were so comfy.
Spacious 2 bedroom apartment in a convenient location. Walking distance to Cruising Coffee, Kenichi and Kawamoto store. Excellent communication by property manager on check in process and recommendations in Hilo.
Perfectly located. Close, easy access to most areas of interest. Light, bright and cheery unit. Very clean and well maintained with beautiful views. Great communication with the very helpful and informative owners. Highly recommend this amazing rental.
We stayed here for 4 days to attend a baby’s baptism. We also have a friend who lives in this building so we were very familiar with the building and area. The condo was spotless, well appointed and well stocked. Loved it!
This is a nice condo with a great view of a park. The location is within a short drive of groceries, the ocean, and restaurants. The building itself is a little dated. That doesn’t impact much, as the unit itself has been updated and was pleasant.
This lovely 2 bedroom condo on the sixth floor not only had wonderful views from each bedroom and the living room, but also had balconies from which to enjoy them. The end unit was exceptionally quiet with comfortable beds for a good night’s sleep. The kitchen had everything we needed to make our meals. The decor was light and airy. Finally, the condo was convenient to everything in Hilo.
The apartment is as described. It is spacious, beds were comfortable and conveniences, such as washer/dryer, nearness to elevator and stores, were all great. The view is not the ocean, but still beautiful. The location is good for driving to everything you would want to see north or south of Hilo. Check in was easy and contact with owner was good. Would recommend for your stay in Hilo.
Loved the ease, cleanness, location! The details were noticed and very appreciated! Chocolates on the pillows! Awesome activity and restaurant suggestions. Loved all of the places we went on your list! Great communication w host! Would totally stay again! No hassles at all. Thank you Terry for your thoughtfulness and simple decor
The town of Hilo is older, as is the building the apartment is house in. The apartment itself is well cared for and could use a little updating on the cabinets but overall was very nice. The location is good for exploring the eastern side of the island. The property manager was amazing providing lots of tips and suggestions prior to our arrival. This was very helpful and accurate information. Thank you!
We enjoyed 4 days in Hilo using this condo as our home away from home! The views from each of the 3 balconies were breathtaking and even though we were on vacation we woke up for the sunrise each morning to take it all in from 6 floors up. The adjacent park and walking trails are lovely with lots of birds to enjoy! It was a calm, quiet retreat after days filled with sightseeing!
The condo was neat as a pin and had all the amenities we needed and even a few we had not thought of including umbrellas! Parking was easy and included with the rental which you don’t always find on the islands. The decor is lovely and the games and books appreciated since it took a few days for our internal clocks to adjust to the 5 hour time difference!

Aloha Jack, we were in touch with you during your stay and you only had positive things to say about the condo. We would have come to take care of this immediately had you informed us.
We stayed 5 nights at Kulani in Hilo during a recent vacation to Hawaii. The rental unit was a perfect location for exploring the east side of the Big Island. It was easy walking distance to downtown Hilo, which offers some good restaurants and shopping, including a grocery and pharmacy. We rented a car which gave us the ability to explore the sights on this side of the island including Volcanoes National Park, Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden, Black Sand beaches, Akaka Falls, Mauna Kea, and Mauna Loa.
The rental experience was excellent. The unit was clean and offered all the comforts of home. The kitchen was well equipped, beds were comfortable, and the unit offers three balconies with views of park. Communication with management was excellent; they were responsive and offered tips on places to eat and things to do in the area. Would definitely stay there again if in the Hilo area.
