About this property

Loko Kai Nani - Stunning Lagoon Views, Pool, A/C

Welcome to Loko Kai Nani, the Beautiful Lagoon! Look no further. For the Ultimate Big Island Experience. Beats any Hilo Hotel by a mile (IMHO) Fully Air Conditioned, 24 hour security, Everything is Brand New.

First time offered, fully renovated with brand new furnishings, this upscale two-bedroom, two-bath, corner unit in the iconic Hilo Lagoon Center overlooks the beautiful Wailoa River State Park, with peekaboo ocean views.

Enjoy gorgeous sunrises sparkling over the lagoon from any of the three private balconies. Stroll under magnificent koa and banyan trees and over elegant Japanese bridges, past waving coconut palms to the black sands of Hilo Harbor, and the Edo-style Japanese gardens at Liliuokalani.

This climate-controlled condo is walking distance to downtown Hilo, the famous Hilo Farmer’s Market, Hilo Bayfront Beach Park, Liliuokalani Gardens, Coconut Island, and countless delicious food options.

Enjoy direct access to the large pool and BBQ area, as well as a dedicated covered parking space. Surrounded by tranquil koi ponds, the Hilo Lagoon Center is safe and quiet, and includes 24-hour security, as well as coin-op laundry on the floor.

Loko Kai Nani comfortably sleeps 4 guests and includes all new appliances, and upscale amenities, including smart TVs in each room, WiFi, A/C, rain showers, and bidets to ensure a comfortable, relaxing stay. The master bedroom features a king-sized bed, desk, and ensuite bathroom with pebble shower. The second bedroom features a queen-sized bed and ensuite bathroom with combo tub-shower. Beach chairs, towels, blanket, umbrella, cooler, and toys are provided.

The condo also features art from local Hilo artists, blending Japanese, Polynesian, and tropical influences to pay homage to the unique history, culture, and flavor of Hilo.

Conveniently located within the most desirable part of Hilo, Loko Kai Nani is only a short drive from many of the best spots on the Big Island, including:

- Local surf spot Honoli’i Beach Park (7 min)
- Picturesque Keaukaha Beach Park (7 min)
- Protected lagoons of Carlsmith Beach Park (9 min)
- Gentle wading pools (often with turtles!) at Onekahakaha Beach Park (9 min)

Take a tour of a working coffee or chocolate mill, or taste some of many varieties of poke and seafood at Suisan Seafood Market.

Loko Kai Nani is the perfect base from which to explore historic Hilo, the oldest city in Hawaii, with its rich fusion of Polynesian and Asian cultures.

Great stay in Hilo

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.

Wonderful place, also very convenient.

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.

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.

A quiet and accessible location in Hilo

From booking to check out the whole process was seamless. We enjoyed exploring beautiful Hilo from this location, including Rainbow and Akaka falls, volcanoes national park and the farmers markets. Hilo Burger Joint, Cafe Pesto, Nector cafe, Kuhio Grille - Home Of The Famous 1lb Laulau were all delicious places within walking distance that we ate at and the service was great. We enjoyed beverage on the balcony each evening overlooking the lagoon and our girls loved the ducks and koi fish at the pond. Would definitely recommend staying here. Thankyou! From Australia :)

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!

One of the best rental properties I’ve ever stayed at.

Where do I begin, this rental property was exactly what we needed during our stay in Hilo. It was in a quiet part of town, yet, still walking distance to so many awesome sites. It was super clean and had all the cooking utensils and wares we could ever ask for. The host was always prompt when we had questions and the property was always secure thanks to the guards in the lobby. This property made our stay in Hilo even better. The view of the lagoon was breathtaking, especially if you were up early enough to catch the sunrise. There is a reason this property is a 10/10. Thank you so much for having us.

Great place to stay!

Fantastic place to stay - way more space than we needed for 2 people, seems ideal for 4 with the two separate bedrooms and bathrooms (and 3 balconies!) with big common area. Very clean inside the unit - condo complex itself is a bit dated but you'd never know it inside the unit itself. About a 15-min walk to downtown Farmer's Market and restaurant and 25 to Coconut Island, but neither are the most "scenic" (lots of busy streets to walk next to).

The best accommodation in Hilo, by far.

We have stayed at multiple locations in Hilo, hotels, or VRBOs, and nothing even comes close to the cleanliness, beauty, and location of this 2-bedroom unit. This unit has been tastefully updated with modern amenities, is extremely clean, and well-stocked. The location is extremely safe, quiet, and central to everything in Hilo. In the future, this is our go-to accommodation. Terry thank you for sharing your amazing condo.

Top Notch Accommodations

This place is even nicer in person. After seeing the modern decor, quality furnishings and appliances, and fully stocked kitchen, we also noticed how clean it was! Spotless. This made for a thoroughly comfortable and enjoyable trip. The other listings mentioned how the building itself was older, and yes, it is, but the inside of this condo was new, clean, and so comfortable. Great location as well. The host was readily available for any questions and provided a nice list of things to do in Hilo, most of which we did! Great stay!

Hilo

Condo was very clean and recently renovated. It was easy to walk to town and centrally located to tourist sites and just a 45 minute drive to Hawaii Volcano National Park. Great communication from the host who provided a great list of things to do and restaurants. We highly recommend Pineapples restaurant. There is a pool, however, there is no shade structure or umbrellas. If we ever went back to Hilo, we’d stay here again.
