My 46 years as a resident and 43 years as a Realtor will insure you know where to go and what to do to make it the finest Big Island experience possible.

The Mauna Loa Shores is right next to Carlsmith Beach Park which has fantastic swimming and snorkeling. Usually you will always swim with the sea turtles, EZ access protected reef. The beach park itself is lawn with huge shade trees (monkey pod). Absolutely the place to stay in Hilo. The Mauna Loa Shores has its own swimming pool too, 2 elevators, laundry room on each floor.

East Hawaii side is authentic Hilo, not overbuilt like Oahu or Maui, truly you will fall in love with Hilo as the owners have.

Starting Jan 1, 2022 our County has added an additional 3% tax due to the rising costs associated with keeping our County functioning properly.  As you know, this has been a stressful fee year for our County due to the lost revenue from the Volcano and now the Pandemic, so our County needs this to survive and provide needed services.  Our contract states that the tax is based in the taxes when your visit actually comes, so if you are arriving after Jan 1,  We are adding this additional 3% on your rent.  Mahalo for your understanding.

The unit was located on the seventh floor and had a gorgeous view overlooking CarlSmith Beach Park. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting out on the comfortable lanai and taking in the view. The master bedroom had the same beautiful view and was a joy to wake up in. Both beds were comfortable. We were pleased to have chosen this complex and location for our four day visit to Hilo. Manager was great to communicate with.

Lovely condo. Nicely stocked. Friendly atmosphere and people. Wonderful views and amazing location being just down the street from Richardson Ocean Park and right next to Carlsmith Beach. Plus downtown Hilo is only around 10 minutes away and Mauna Kea and Hawaii Volcanoes NP are both only 45 minutes. Highly recommend.

We stayed 3 nights and enjoyed swimming in the evening with sea turtles, it was amazing. If you like to hike your 15-45 minutes from several waterfalls and amazing sights. Visiting ‘Akaka Falls and Kilauea are a must, we also loved Laupahoehoe Point Beach Park and low key beaches at Kona.

Phenomenal views from the Primary bedroom and Lanai. Penthouse was clean and well stocked. Carlsmith beach is a one minute walk and was awesome to snorkel and hang out in. Saw a turtle sunning all day. Close to town for eats and stores plus quick travel to Volcano National Park and other island destinations. Would dedinitely stay here again if we come back to the Big Island.

The unit was clean, well appointed, and comfortable. The views are spectacular from the top floor, and with the open windows we were able to hear the ocean at night. It’s a shame the building and property was a rough around the edges and needs some TLC.

We enjoyed our time on the Hilo side in this updated and clean condo right next to Carlsmith Park. We were able to snorkel in our “backyard”. The condo didn’t have AC but plenty of fans were provided along with the ocean breezes made it comfortable. Terry was excellent to work with. Very responsive and even gave us a list of things to do and favorite restaurants. We would stay here again.

Beautiful view, great location

Had a nice, relaxing stay here with our two college-age children. Beautiful setting for relaxing on the balcony in the morning or evening, and taking a short walk or swim at the adjacent park. Close to everything we wanted to see and do in Hilo and the east side of the island.
