Polynesian Koi Pond Gardens Condo in Hilo with full kitchen and pool!

This beautiful air-conditioned condo is perhaps one of the best located accommodations in Hilo. Near the center of town, yet the grounds feel like a Polynesian inspired zen oasis! Koi filled streams and ponds lined with walking trails meander through the complex. Minutes from the airport, farmers markets, golfing, downtown shops, and over 100 restaurants! The complex also backs to Wailoa State Park where you can walk through over 130 acres of beautiful grounds leading to Hilo Bay!

Designed to be a clean and stylish place of comfort that provides outstanding value. Whether traveling for work, or vacationing for pleasure, we have outfitted this condo to meet your needs. We even have e-scooters available for rent that make cruising downtown so much fun! No car needed!

As you enter the studio, you will immediately feel welcomed by the luxury amenities this unit has to offer. Opulent ambient lighting, a high-end memory foam "Cal King" mattress, fine bath fixtures, bluetooth stereo, and a private Lanai with bistro seating for 2 all add to a wonderful stay!

A fully equipped kitchen with Viking cookware, quality utensils, and tableware will please even the most discerning traveling chef. We provide locally grown Kona blend coffee. There is also a well equipped bar for making your own drinks.

You will love being able to enjoy the large pool, or walk along the calming Koi streams and lagoon that meander through the complex. You will see ducks, Koi, and many tropical fish.

Hilo bay is a great spot to take a dip into the ocean or relax by the sea! Local shops close by for kayak and paddle board rental too! A few minutes drive can get you to Richardsons Beach which where you can swim with sea turtles and have a nice picnic in one of the many parks.

Rainbow falls is just 10 minutes away and the world famous "boiling pots" are just a little further up from the falls. Volcano National Park is just 45 minutes away! We are always happy to provide activity and sightseeing lists upon request.

Koi pond condos
The condo was as described however, the complex sits in appears rundown. They’re Koi ponds didn’t seem to have any Koi in them. However, the location was good for getting in our car with free parking and traveling around the area of Hilo.

Studio Apartment
Centrally located; well appointed kitchen including a rice cooker. Would have liked more than 1 dinner fork. Excellent communication with the owner. Needs scouring cleanser like Barkeeper’s Friend for skillets. Could have used a broom and dustpan to sweep floor. Too bad the hallways look like a prison as this detracts from an otherwise very nice unit. Good for a short stay.

Sweet Stay
The property was just as advertised. The host was very responsive. The only major downside was the weather. Torrential rains every day so we could not enjoy the pool, scooters, or beaches. I won’t visit the Hilo side again during this time of year. Thanks for the experience.

Wonderful little home in central location of Hilo
We had a peaceful stay in this little house. The house has everything we need for the stay. The house is close to cafe, other shops, restaurants and even close to famous Rainbow falls. Parking is very convenient in front of the building. Please note that the building does not have elevator, but it was not at all a problem for us as house is on the 2nd floor. Would definitely recommend to others.

Beautiful place
Out of 6 places we stayed on our 3-island tour, this was far and away the nicest. Absolutely beautiful and fully equipped, including in-room access to a couple of e-scooters (additional cost, FYI, but still, wow!). We had a minor problem with the safe, the owner replied to our inquiry within minutes and solved the problem. A 10/10 stay.

Gardens condo was a great place for our short stay in Hilo. All the amenities you could ask for, plus great coffee. Check in was super easy and everything matched what was listed. Wish we had more time in Hilo to fully take advantage of what the condo offered.

The best place to stay in Hilo!
My partner and I loved staying here when we traveled through Hilo. The surrounding area is really nice to walk around, and the interiors are absolutely beautiful. The host was extremely accommodating to fulfill my last minute request to stay here, and was very communicative through the entire process. The use of the washer/dryer facility was a bonus, as we had been traveling and doing lots of hiking which meant we did a load while we stayed there for the night. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Cute condo in good location
This apartment had everything we needed for a great visit to Hilo! With nearby local hikes and beaches, walking distance (under a mile) from various restaurants, and only ~40 minutes away from Volcano National Park, we were close to a number of activities. The unit itself is updated, cute, and has everything to make you comfortable along the way. We appreciated all the small touches Joe did to make us feel welcome!

Joe’s studio condo was contemporary and clean. He has updated pretty much everything in the place. It is very stylish. I loved the heart made of flowers on the bed awaiting us upon arrival. The lanai looks onto the parking lot. Joe communicated promptly whenever I had a question and I love the television in the condo! I’d stay again!
