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:

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 :)

Enjoy the Hilo side!

This condo is everything stated. So comfortable and decorated to perfection! The location is perfect for everything on this side of the island! We found Hilo so great, not touristy! Many amazing restaurants Hilo Bay Cafe, Booch Bar, Ola Brewery, just a few! The property manager gave great suggestions. The Botanical Garden a must, the newly opened black sand beach, and of course the Volcano National park! We hope to be back and stay here! Thanks for the perfect accommodation!

Condo in Hilo with park views

The condo is situated on the 7th floor, just the height of the palm trees, with beautiful views of the park. The building itself is aged, but the condo is newly remodeled and we found everything pristine. We did not use the pool, as it did not look too inviting. Great place to explore Hilo and its surroundings.

Hilo high point

As you drive up to the property and see the “Lagoon tower,” it looks dated and a bit worn. But most of Hilo town looks the same. Humidity and rain will do that. But as you step foot inside the condo that impression leaves your mind. The owner has tastfuly modernized this unit. It has everything you could need. Beds were very comfortable. TV and cable in all the rooms. From the 7th floor the balcony views overlooking the beautiful garden and lakes are breathtaking. I looked forward to my early morning coffee watching the sunrise casting reflected light on the water. The fish jumping, water birds everywhere were a joy. As I write this review, on the balcony, a light rain is falling and the morning sun is peaking through the clouds. Love a good sun shower! The Lagoon tower is centrally located in Hilo. Easy drive or walk pretty much anywhere. If your going to visit Hilo town or explore the beauty of the East side, this condo is amazing. Thank you Terry for sharing your home.

Clean, modern, and thoughtful details

Hilo was second half of our trip and greeted us with lots of rain and teased us with some sunshine in between. Two of us was working remotely part of the time so it wasn’t too bad. Although the building is old, the unit itself has been remodeled, furnished, and decorated with modern details. We had everything we needed and location was very convenient, close to coffee shops, grocery, farmers market, beach park, etc. we enjoy the beautiful open lagoon view even when it was raining. Unlike a lot of two bedrooms we looked at this property has Lanais in each room (each bedrooms and kitchen/living rm). All of us enjoyed quiet times in our own rooms as well as spending time together in the open kitchen/living. This is such a perfect set up for two couples. On our last day, Hilo sent us away with clear blue skies and perfect 74 weather. What a teaser! Ok, we’ll be back and will stay in this unit again! Terry, thank you for effortless check in and check out! I appreciated all your prompt and detailed communications to make our stay a breeze. Mahalo! Kari

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).

Beautiful View

This condo was beautiful, and nicely updated. It had all that you needed in the kitchen. They have chairs, beach towels, and a cooler to use. The view was out over the lagoon and a park. The building is old, but this condo is new, and the elevators(3 of them) are super fast. The only complaint I have was the second bedroom got full of gnats that I had to sweep up. We used this as our dressing room, so it wasn't a bother. No where else in the condo was that an issue. I would stay there again in a heartbeat.

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.

Gem of a property

This condo is immaculate. Building is older. However, security on duty 24/7. Unit is on 7th floor and elevator is fast. Assigned parking. Cooler and freezer packs provided which made it easy to pack a lunch and snacks daily for exploring. Washer/dryer is down the hall and uses quarters which are easy to get in security office. Laundry was not an issue and certainly easier than if staying in a hotel. Most importantly, the beds were so comfortable and unit quiet. We slept well every night. We would stay here again.

Great condo!

Loved the location over a beautiful quiet lagoon. Super clean and updated and fully stocked. It had all the comfort & details of a home away from home, with updated kitchen and bathroom luxuries. The bldg was quiet and clean, it was great being in an end unit. The beds & pillows were SO comfortable and towels fluffy and new. Would highly recommend! All of Terry’s recommendations were helpful for places to eat and things to do. Hilo is a quaint little beach town, nothing flashy or commercial like the other islands and Kona. People are very friendly and appreciate the visitors. So many beautiful gardens, drives & walking trails thru lush forests and waterfalls to discover. Use the guide books so you don’t pass them up!

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!

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.
