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. Our Big Island has it all, every climate and terrain, eco-tourism at is best with volcano watching, hiking, beautiful tropical gardens, ocean activities, swimming, snorkeling, and most of all relaxing. Away from the hustle and bustle and traffic of Oahu, Maui, Kona.... Hilo side is truly paradise. Book with me and you will see and agree.

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.

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.

Gorgeous setting and nicely renovated apartment. The room with the ocean view and the lanai are stellar and bring in the nightly sounds of crashing waves and the surrounding rainforest.

Comfy and great location

The rental was super clean and easy to access. The bed was comfy and the kitchen has everything you need. The views from the patio and one bedroom are incredible. It overlooks Carlsmith beach which is a sheltered and calm location to snorkel and see bright little fish and green sea turtles. We would definitely stay here again.

The Perfect Location for a Hilo Visit

If you are looking for a vacation rental in the Hilo area, look no further! The penthouse at the Mauna Loa Shores has a breathtaking view of one of the best swimming beaches on the Big Island- Carlsmith Park, and is super convenient to both downtown Old Hilo and all the supermarkets and stores in the shopping malls along the Hawaii Belt road. The condo itself is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. When we visit Hilo in the future we will definitely make this place our home away from home!

Wonderful!

We loved this condo from the moment we stepped inside. It is easily the best place to stay in the area. The mirrors are brilliant! And the kitchen is perfect in every way. We couldn't get enough of the view of the tidepools! It was fun watching the cat lady feeding the feral cat family every evening! Honestly, we're already thinking of when we can return.

Peaceful Views, gorgeous decor 10/10

We stayed in this wonderful condo and absolutely loved it. The views of the water are so tranquil. It’s one of those vacation stays where you don’t need to leave the immediate area to enjoy yourself. My husband and I are in our 70’s and there was plenty to keep you busy within walking distance of the condo. I can’t think of one negative thing to report about the decor or ease of living in this space. My recommendation is stay as long as you can, except for the dates we want to come! Have fun!

Million $$ View!

Every rental needs a good view an this one exceeded iin everyway. Views from LR a d bedroom (even the king size bed)) Hilo is more rural so not aloot of choice for restaurants, however the kitchen was well eqipped. Plus, Walmrt, Target, Safeway and other grocers were closeby. Even a mall was nearby, which was a pleasant surprise. No AC but didn't need it ffor the 30days we were there. Owners and managers were very easy to dealith. We traveled the entire time to arks and beaches or sight seeing and picnicking. There are 4 State Beach Parks with gorgeous views within a mile. Of course our favorite was in our backyard with sea turtles sunbathing, families and children enjoying the unique lagoon. It rained in the morning two times in a month. Most rain came in late evening! This rental, had basic amenities, building was a bit worn, pool was uninviting, and still hands down, was one of our all time favorites for a unique, low-key, affordable vacation.

We loved staying in the penthouse. It was very tasteful and comfortable, and the view from the bedroom and lanai couldn’t be better. The people in the building were nice and a nice long pool was good for laps. Carl Smith beach right next-door was excellent for gentle swimming And snorkeling, and we saw a lot of turtles. I would definitely come back and stay in the penthouse. All the necessities were available in the kitchen, and the place was clean and tasteful.

Perfect location and worked well for elderly

Beautiful location, well-appointed property with friendly caretakers, very responsive and helpful host, lots of nice extras like snorkel gear and camping chairs. Lack of AC (clear in listing) was mitigated by fans and screens. Walkable to great park for lower mobility elderly staying with us.

Did not disappoint

The property was exactly as described. We could not have asked for anything more in our stay. The host thought of everything, down to the drying racks for laundry, snorkel gear, and a pair of binoculars to enjoy watching the activity in the beautiful lagoon behind the property. We stayed in March and were able to leave the windows open for a fantastic breeze the entire time. Would definitely stay here again!

Perfect stay!

We loved our stay! The property is very quiet especially as this unit is on the top floor. The location is perfect; situated right next door to Carlsmith beach and only a few minutes from Richardson Ocean Park. The condo was very clean and has all the needed the amenities. It was an easy drive to Volcano National Park, restaurants and the grocery store. We really enjoyed staying on the Hilo side of the island (such a great vibe; especially the Friday night market). Would highly recommend this condo to others.

A perfect stay

I can honestly say this condo was easily as attractive, comfortable and well outfitted as advertised and we loved our stay there! The view from the Lanai was gorgeous and the wealth of passing birds was, from that height really fun to watch. The supplied binoculars was another very nice amenity! When we return to the big island, this will be our number one choice!

Fantastic Location

We had a great stay at Terry's place. The location was perfect for our itinerary, and the view is divine. We loved sitting on the lanai with our morning coffee, looking out over Carlsmith Beach Park. We found everything we needed for our week on the Big Island, including a cooler to take picnic lunches with us, folding chairs that came in really handy, and snorkeling gear and beach towels. The kitchen is well appointed and had everything we needed for breakfast and dinners at home. It was really nice to have the laundry room just steps down the hall, too, and there were laundry baskets and detergent and things provided. Terry and the property manager were both prompt and solicitous during our stay, and sent over a really nice list of restaurants, attractions, and other suggestions. We went to Hawaii Tropical Botanical Gardens on their recommendation, and it was indeed a highlight of our trip. Thank you for a wonderful week!

The view is the draw!

This unit is on the top floor, with a magnificent ocean and bay view, overlooking the beach park. The unit is nicely laid out with a compact kitchen (which is lacking a dishwasher), a living room/dining room combination, along with the two bedrooms. The primary bedroom has a wall of windows overlooking the ocean and bay. The other bedroom has a view of Mauna Loa. Both bedrooms have very high legged beds, 35 inches to the top of the mattress, made for easy viewing of the water and mountain, but making it a bit difficult to get in and out of, especially if you are mobility challenged or a shorter person. The television entertainment, in the living room and primary bedroom, is mostly Roku TV, and apps for numerous other services. The internet access is free and fairly strong. The one bathroom is small, but functional, with a bathtub and shower combo, which is setup nicely with grab bars. The lanai is large enough for a loveseat and two wicker, cushioned chairs, and a table. The lanai was our favorite place to sit and either read, play games or just enjoy the view. Again, the view is fantastic!The parking space for the unit is conveniently located directly across from the building main entrance.The condo building is very secure, with a key system for the ground floor elevator, making it difficult to get up to the condo units without an elevator key. The property is well maintained and quiet, in general.
