The apartment boasts several highlights:
1) A charming lanai (patio) overlooking the park and expansive pond, complemented by refreshing Hawaiian trade winds.

3) A kitchen equipped with modern fingerprint-resistant appliances.
4) Enjoy entertainment on a new 55'' smart TV while working comfortably at a height-adjustable desk complete with a chair and 21” monitor, along with 1 window AC unit, 2 dehumidifiers, and 4 fans to ensure your comfort.
5) Beach accessories are conveniently stored in the lanai storage box.
6) Onsite security and maintenance are provided, with security personnel often present during evenings for your peace of mind (phone numbers are available on the back of the entry door if needed).
Please note that Hilo is located on the lush green east side of the Big Island, characterized by frequent rainfall (mostly occurring at night), which contributes to its outstanding air quality. The weather can vary by elevation, so we recommend wearing layers to accommodate sunny beach days, rainy foothills, and cooler mountaintops.
