SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW LOFT WITH AC HILO, Hilo

The property sits in a central Hilo neighborhood, just a few minutes on foot from the farmers market, bakeries, and a variety of local restaurants (L&L Drive Inn, Lam's Garden, Pineapples, and more - all within 0.5 km). Key attractions such as the Pacific Tsunami Museum, Rainbow Falls, and Richardson Ocean Park are a short drive away (10 minutes). The area is known for its quiet evenings, with only the sounds of frogs and rain. For day trips, Mauna Kea visitor center is a 40-minute drive, and 'Akaka Falls is 25 minutes away. Surfing spots are also close by.

The loft-style unit features two upstairs bedrooms, both with air conditioning, and a living room with a comfortable sofa bed - comfortably sleeping up to 5. The full kitchen includes a stove, refrigerator, electric kettle, cookware, and a dining table. The private terrace and patio offer outdoor seating, BBQ facilities, and views of the garden and city. Ceiling fans provide natural cooling, and opening windows allows for natural ocean breezes, often making air conditioning unnecessary. The decor is playful with a rainbow theme, and a welcome basket of Kona coffee and cookies adds a thoughtful touch. The property supplies ample towels, beach gear, board games, and books about the area. Laundry facilities (washer/dryer) are shared and located outside in the garage.

The kitchen is stocked with cookware, utensils, and an ice maker, making it easy to prepare meals. A welcome basket provides local Kona coffee and cookies upon arrival. For those wanting to eat out, a cluster of restaurants - including L&L Drive Inn, Lam's Garden, Wilson's by the Bay, Pineapples Restaurant, Nicoco Hawaiian Gelato, and Pho Viet - are all within a 5-minute walk in downtown Hilo. The farmers market is also nearby, offering fresh local produce.

The property supplies a full set of beach equipment: towels, chairs, umbrellas, snorkels, boogie boards, and beach toys - eliminating the need to pack these items. For land-based leisure, a free tennis court is available off-site, and a golf course is within 3 km. Indoors, board games and books about the Big Island provide entertainment for guests of all ages. Surfing is popular in the surrounding area.
