Kulani - 2 bd Spectacular Views, A/C, Pool, WI-FI

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).

Perfect Hilo Vacation Spot
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.

Great place
Loved the location in Hilo. Very clean apartment. Nice separation of the 2 bedrooms/2 baths for privacy between my husband and I and our adult daughter. Well stocked kitchen, though we only used the toaster! Lovely view of park and sunrise. Loved the 3 lanai. Minimalist type furniture, so if you are a "large" person, the chairs for dining may be too small. Beds extremely comfortable. Couch sitting area comfortable for 2, a squeeze for 3. But there are other chairs available, so not that big of a deal. Especially since we weren't in the apartment much of our stay. Great restaurants nearby Helpful that there were luggage carts in the lobby. Neighbors friendly. I'd stay there again. NOTE: laundry is coin operated on the floor. We didn't use it. NOTE: there are only 2 lawn chairs for "beach". it would be helpful if there were 4 since the property is advertised for 4 people.

Nice location
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!
