Feel right at home at this contemporary condo complete with a full kitchen and private, furnished lanai.

Steps from the beach and local shops - this condo's central location in Hilo is perfect to experience it all while still having a secluded, private feel.

Comfortable and convenient.
Very comfortable and a first-class kitchen. We loved sitting at the balcony watching activity in the lagoon. School was out and there were many families with kids in the water. We went snorkeling 3 times in the early morning and saw no signs of turtles. They appear to have relocated. However we saw many fish including angel fish, trigger fish and the legendary humahumanucanuca'apua.

This is a nice property, that has everything you need. The problem is it doesn’t have any character.
This was a wonderful trip, the apartment is adequate, it has the basic necessities. A part of me wanted to update it, and make it more like a home. The people who lived in the complex were amazing, the manager of the complex was a very nice man and the pool and location were amazing. The propert just needs a bit of love❤️

Nice View From Room, Bathroom needs Update
The kitchen is nice, the king size bed is nice to sleep on and the location being right next to the ocean makes for an incredible view plus easy access to go swimming. The bathroom is however in need of a major update. There’s no counter space in the bathroom whatsoever. No bathroom fan and the tub is a little old to say the least. Other than that it was good, just please update the bathroom.

Rating Details: The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Mauna Loa Shore is a good location if not staying at a hotel. Ocean is right in front and to the side. Rooms are decent. Our units had several fans but no A/C. I t can get humid and warm. Other than that it was a pleasant stay. Hilo Seaside Restaurant almost directly across the street. Excellent food & service. Call early, they sell out fast.

And dawn the next morning lived up to that promise. It revealed the park next door, turtles, great views. And everyone we met in the building were friendly and helpful. Mahalo!!!

Carl Smith Beach Park
We have been going to the CS Beach Park for years but staying in Hilo. We decided this trip to Hawaii we would stay at this condominium. The location was perfect, pool perfect and park perfect. The unit was as advertised but abut run down furniture wise and bed. I like a king bed but really only room for a queen bed. Nice cross breeze with the from door and look ani door open. A bit stuffy otherwise. The ceiling fans a great and the one floor fan. I think I would book a two bedroom or settle for a queen next visit as other options are available at this address. Still a nice place to vacation and well cleaned when we arrived.

Nice Place
The location is very nice. The room was clean and there were starter supplies. There was a full sized dishwasher which is why I picked this place and it works. These were most important things. I really liked that there was a table on the lanai so we could eat meals there. The kitchen was really not supplied with more than enough utensils to cook for 1 meal. Example 1 spatula, no serving spoons or slotted spoons. There are several meals worth of plates forks, spoons and knives, but just not enough cooking implements.

A good location for snorkelling
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is an older condo so don't expect anything fancy. Some of the furniture is old. However the best part of this condo is the proximity to the lagoon and beach. No driving and parking. And You get to see fish and turtle. What would really be nice is if the condo provided some kitchen condiments. Having to buy salt/pepper, sugar, tea, oil for just 4-5 days is such a waste. The property manager is extremely helpful, responsive and kind.

NO A/C!!!
First trip to Hawaii as a romantic vacation. A high rise condominium. Had no idea you had to ask if they had air conditioning. We were miserable, hot, humid and sticky. Difficult being romantic when you are dripping in sweat…or at least sticky. Got a condo so I could cook. I did once and was covered in sweat! Ugh!! They will probably charge us extra for all the towels we used from showering so much. Yes they had fans. But all that did was blow hot air . I literally cried our first night there! Secondly we were without water for our last 2 days there. Really? This was due to scheduled maintenance. Not an unforseeable emergency. So management knew before we came yet did not let us know until the night before that we could not use any water or flush from 8-4. Would NEVER stay there again!

Location, location, location. The condo was comfortable, accessible and safe. Having a beautiful beach park as your front yard is fantastic. To enjoy the mornings while it’s still fairly quiet is what really made the stay. This is my second time at Mauna Loa Shores and I would do it again.
