We enjoyed our stay in Hilo. From the beginning Terry answered all our questions Condo clean and well stocked bed very comfortable. View of the bay as described. There is no air conditioning at the property but it didn't need it cool breezes at night were wonderful. As far as the complex as a whole it could use some tlc and especially the pool Coin operated washer dryer conveniently located on each floor.

This condo was in a good location, close to water with a beautiful view of the water through the trees. Fairly quiet, some street noise and close to airport but that didn't bother us. Condo was very clean and well kept, really have no complaints about it. We enjoyed our week long stay.

My wife and I recently visited Hilo for the hiking and turtle-spotting. We were happy to find this condo very close to the water and a 10 minute drive to downtown. Overall the condo was as advertised but the building feels more worn down with a dirty swimming pool and roaches in the kitchen. That said, Terry was very friendly and responsive and the checkin/out process was very smooth. While I felt our expectations were reasonable, killing a few roaches everyday made us feel a little gross the whole time we were there.

Lovely condo

The beach and surrounding area was amazing. Lots of turtles in the water right behind the property! We really enjoyed our stay here. The property was comfortable and clean. The road in front of the complex is noisy, but I wouldn’t let that deter you. Such a good spot!

Sitting on the lanai watching the birds, watching the swimmers, listening to the jungle - ALL wonderful.

Overall everything about the stay was great, just had some issue with the light on the room. I was very surprised and pleased by how much was provided for the trip, googles, etc. Great communication with tenant. For the price though; I would recommend leaving extra toilet paper for the guest; when it comes to a trip last thing we want is head to the grocery store. Other then that I recommend for only a RELAX trip.

Clean, had everything we needed. If you are looking for a resort type experience, this isn’t it, but this clean, well stocked condo was perfect for us. There is a bit of road noise at night, but we quickly got used to it. You do go through an industrial area to get there, but once through that, the neighborhood is pleasant, with a number of beach parks close by. The owner was easy to communicate with, and we’d certainly stay here again when we come back.

We very much enjoyed our stay at this property. Clean, great location, next to a snorkeling beach. So nice to sit on balcony and see just the tropical vegetation -water The property host gave us great ideas for things to do…places to eat around the area. A bit noisy on Saturday nights with traffic - the bedroom is on the same side as the road. There is a recycling area next to the trash which is good.

Nicely appointed and well stocked with lots of useful extras from coffee grinder to umbrella to boogie board. Lovely view from lanai. Only annoyance--road noise--but to be expected given the location. Access to Carlsmith Park totally made up for it.

As a Dish user, I found the TV user interface awful. Maybe a small thing to some but important to me. Everything else was OK.

This was our first time staying on the Big Island. We decided to stay in Hilo because of the lush greenery and we were not disappointed! Staying at Mauna Loa Shores made it easy to enjoy a swim in the ocean, just steps away from the building. Our host, Terry gave us a list of restaurants and attractions that were a short drive away from our location. We would stay here again the next time we're in Hilo.

However...the bedroom faces a very busy road and the road noise was problematic to our tranquility.

Comfortable Road noise Modern and nicely decorated Older building

Great location and views to Carlsmith park beach. Equipped with what you need.

Only thing I did not like about property is need new toaster. Bugs in bathroom. Killed about 10 in 7days. Bathroom sink is clogged. Otherwise great place. This side of island the best

There was a minor lapse in communication that resulted in us arriving at the property without knowing which unit we were in or where to get the keys, but after a few anxious moments, we got that all sorted out and found the place to be absolutely wonderful. Definitely exceeded our expectations. Clean, beautifully decorated, exceptionally well-equipped kitchen, etc. The property location is in a semi-industrial area near the airport, so not as quiet as some, but super-convenient to downtown Hilo, the highway to the volcanoes, etc.

Would stay again.

We had a great experience with this property. It was exactly as advertised.

The most idyllic place I’ve been to. The place was charming and updated. Perfect view of the ocean and forest. I wish I could stay longer.

Absolutely loved our stay at this condo. It had everything we needed to be cozy and feel welcomed. We appreciated it had flashlights for going to VNP at night and full kitchen and even recipes! We love Hilo and it’s unique charm, this condo has a great location next to some nice bobbing beaches with turtles. (Respect and don’t touch the Honu) It’s quite and I loved that they recycle and compost! My husband and I traveled from Alaska with our 6 year old and stayed 11 days. The pull out bed was perfect for a small kid. It has WiFi and lots of TVs channels so we didn’t miss our favorite shows. Residents and locals were so nice, we made a nice long lasting friend. I’d totally stay here again and the property manager is very responsive. Only complaint is we couldn’t stay longer and kitchen knives need to be sharpened ;) Mahalo again for the hospitality. A hui hou!

beautiful

The Property was as described. It is in a great location right next to Carl Smith Beach...the property manager was very responsive when we needed a new fan, came early the next morning. The condo itself has everything you need. The robes were an extra nice touch. FYI no AC, but with the cool breezes and fans, it was not missed. Only suggestion is fixing the back and front screen door so they are easier to close. Would definitely come back to this property and condo!

The condo was thoughtfully decorated with well curated books and decorations. The view from our patio was amazing, exactly as shown in the photo. We loved the easy walk to the beach and the excellent location in proximity to all of our Hilo adventures. Would visit again!

We had a slight bug problem when we first arrived, but the property manager quickly took care of the problem. This was a great location for Volcanoes National Park and downtown Hilo.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this condo. It was very tastefully decorated and extremely comfortable. We also really loved the turtle sanctuary which is right next door and even got to swim with the turtles one evening! Highly recommended!

My husband and I were pleasantly surprised at the loveliness, cleanliness, and security of the condo. It was immediately adjacent to one of many Hawaii County Beach Parks, perfect for morning swims and snorkels. It was also close to other nearby County Parks and restaurants. It was not within walking distance of any grocery stores or shopping but a short drive away. We planned for those activities when we left for adventures outside of Hilo. The kitchen was very well stocked and there was a perfect compliment of needed accessories for those traveling on a vacation: cooler, snorkel gear, beach towels, etc. I would rent this place again in a heartbeat! Thank you!

Location area nice but getting to the property via industrial warehouse Airport roads.. Not sure if safe..

I had a lovely stay. They view was great over the jungle and lagoons and pool. It was an enjoyable stay. Well stocked. I would definitely stay again.

The location is great and Terry was awesome - the spot had everything we needed!

This is a nice condo with a private terrace with a jungle and ocean view. It's quiet and we can hear the wonderful ocean waves. We were able to walk right from the condo through jungle paths to the beach. The bed is comfortable and the kitchen is adequate. There is a great local favorite restaurant across the street called Seaside so that is super convenient!

This condo is very well done and was perfect for us. From the moment we walked in, we were impressed. Fresh flowers on the table, updated nicely and very clean. Kitchen is well stocked with matching plates and silverware. This is a well taken care of unit and very relaxing to sit on the lanai overlooking the water. We enjoyed the quiet and relaxing time here, the geckos on the lanai and snorkeling right out the back door. Did I mention the turtles? And the elevator was a huge plus in getting luggage and groceries in. We love this place and definitely recommend it! Jerry and Roxane
