Great place!
We loved our stay in this condo! We were very happy with the cleanliness and location. The property manager checked on us to make sure we got in ok and was available in case we needed anything. The view from the balcony is breathtaking! Located right on Carlsmith Beach, you don’t even have to leave unless you want to! Will definitely stay here again and would recommend to others. No issues at all.

Get away to Hawaii
We stayed 7 days in this unit. We were pleased with everything. I found the manager/ owner to be very helpful and accommodating. There was a book in the condo that made all the difference to us in exploring Hilo and the rest of the island. So glad I decided to take a look at it. There were more than adequate supplies available for our use. Be aware that the washer and dryer are coin operated so you will need lots of quarters. Beautiful view.

Super cool location
The location was convenient. The view was amazing. Had a little trouble sleeping due to the noise of the frogs and a rooster that woke us up every morning at 524am. The condo was amazing other than that. We felt very safe and loved that we were only 50ft from the water...aaaannndddd we got to swim with the sea turtles. Amazing.

Great landing spot for everything we wanted to do
We loved the Hilo side of the island so much and this was a great spot to take it all in. The condo has everything you need. We liked the privacy and security factors. Randall was easy to communicate with and the residents at Mauna Loa Shores were friendly and helpful. It’s not a fancy place but the price definitely reflects that. We loved watching whales from the lanai and the activity of Carlsmith right below. It really is as close as it looks, actually closer. Would definitely stay here again!

Amazing location--listen to the ocean 24/7
We loved staying here; we could hear the ocean waves day and night. The ocean is practically in your backyard at this place and we enjoyed swimming at the park several times. We saw turtles every time we went down to the park/ocean. There is a nice restaurant within walking distance that is open for dinner (Wed-Sun I believe). The apartment is a short drive from downtown Hilo and convenient to other services. We would stay here again.
