Lovely stay!

I was in Hilo for a month for work and stayed at Maggie's place. It was perfect for me in all ways - fantastic location, nice complex, very clean, lovely lanai, close to a beautiful park for walks/jogs. Various places to eat or get groceries that are within a 10 min walk or a couple of mins drive. Maggie was an exceptional host, very quick to respond and very kind to me on my arrival after a 25h trip. I absolutely loved my stay and if I am lucky enough to return to Hilo for work then I would stay here in a flash. Thank you Maggie!

Excellent experience.

The apartment was lovely, clean and had all the amenities needed to be comfortable and enjoy your time in Hilo. The location was great and the views were beautiful, filled with trees and a stream of Koi fish. Best rental we have had!

Cute studio apartment!

Cute studio apartment with a comfortable sized lanai and most basic amenities you’d need. I wish there was a washer and dryer in the unit but not a big issue. Not a lot of kitchen cookware and utensils so unless you plan to go out to eat a lot, the space is definitely best suited to a couple or a single person. Comfortable bed and very nice location on the Waiakea Villas property. Check-in instructions were minimal and no unit number was provided, which unfortunately meant that I had to try the lockbox code on several different apartments before I found the right one. The only check-in info provided was the lockbox code and the floor of the building the unit is located on. The overall appearance of the studio is fairly well finished and pretty clean, but it does have its quirks (loose bathroom sink faucet, odd smell in hallway outside apartment, dirty carpet in the hallway, etc). Be prepared to carry your luggage up a lot of stairs as there is no elevator in the building. Great location near downtown Hilo and close to many great restaurants and other attractions. My co-host, Maggie, was such a sweet lady. I would absolutely stay here again.

Nicely appointed apartment

The actual apartment was nice but the building needs maintenance, the carpet in the corridors needed a clean .

Nice "no frills" place to stay with pros/cons

Bottom line: No frills studio that has a nice balcony, decent kitchen and bath. Location is close to downtown and airport using a car. Pros: Decent sized studio Balcony/lanai is large Nice TV with great smart features Wifi worked well, no issues while I was working Shower water pressure is wonderful, hot water, great etc. Bathroom has ample light and a big sink area Kitchen area was nice, large fridge, etc. Nice pool (we didnt use, very few people used) Owner/manager was very communicative, easy. There is a nice book on site with information on condo, on Hilo, nice! Cons: No elevator! 3rd floor condo... heavy suitcases Nothing to walk to (use your car a lot) Location is fine.... 5 minute car ride to airport, downtown, beaches, etc. Hot in Jan/February No A/C (there is a fan that has button for "cooling" but its only a fan) At night, the birds/frogs make some jungle noises (kind of cool!) No iron or ironing board No barbecue area Your condo does NOT overlook the pool Parking lot is run down, but it parks plenty of cars just fine. Floor tile is old and grout missing, but is fine, not dangerous. Only one set of keys and door locks automatically behind you. A second set of keys would be nice to leave in the box "in case". Please replace the shower curtain as it is not clean at the bottom. Overall, this is a "no frills" condo that will meet all of your needs for a 4 to 5 night stay. There is no elevator to get you up to the 3rd floor, so remember your heavy bags on arrival and departure. Otherwise going up 2 sets of stairs is easy. The bed is comfortable (queen), the kitchen is perfect, and the bathroom is nice. There is a large balcony that has a decent view to the right (open space with bamboo and downward to the koi pond) and to the left would be looking at other units who are looking back. Not an issue really. The location is decent but you will have to drive everywhere. There is one brewery to walk to but other than that you will be driving to downtown, to the volcano, the beach, etc. The owner was very nice, helpful, communicative, and had a nice supply inside the unit (missing an iron). Overall, its a nice place to stay for your stay in Hilo. From the beach stops we made we saw whales, tons of turtles, beautiful waterfalls, the volcano at day, back again at night (awesome), Ken's Pancakes, Cafe Pesto (great pizza), and a special shout out to the Hilo Yacht Club, FANTASTIC (if you are a member of a yacht club). Mahalo!
