"We had the ocean view room on the second floor. It was newly renovated, with a beautiful private bathroom and beautiful wood work throughout. We were a bit spoiled when we were there, since there were no other guests on our floor during our stay. The kitchen and living room were spacious and well equipped, and Josh was always there to help us if we needed it. We would definitely stay here in the future"

Newly Renovated Hilo Lagoon 2 BD Condo-A/C, Pool

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at this condo. It's in a very quiet location but close enough to the waterfront and park that we could easily walk. The condo is nice and spacious and homey. The beds were super comfortable and the AC worked great. The building is older so it had that great 60s vibe that you hardly ever see anymore. Felt very much like home in Hawaii!"

Amazing Ocean & Park Views - Pool & AC

10/10 Excellent

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The rooms were spacious with this being a corner unit and had wonderful views of the lagoon and out to a part of Hilo Bay. The air conditioning made it consistently comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. Thorough instructions and recommendations were provided for us. We were provided with a reserved and covered parking space. The location of the unit was convenient to Hilo and the sights of the Eastern portion of the Big Island. Hawaii Volcanos National Park was only a 45 minute drive. We did not use the laundry facility or pool during our stay."
