First stay here was for our 25th Wedding Anniversary and we came back and stayed in this same condo for our 35th Wedding Anniversary. It’s clean, well stocked and the location is perfect. Thanks for sharing your little piece of Heaven with us, look forward to our return visit to this same place again!

Beautiful, comfortable condo in Hilo
The location next to the park is fantastic! I loved walking over to the park for a swim in the morning, and not having to fight for park parking on a saturday afternoon! The condo has been renovated with modern finishes and is very comfortable inside. Great sleep on the bed, and the fans make the interior feel cool and relaxing without AC. An easy, quick drive into Hilo. Parking spot is very close to the front door. Very good for solo traveler or a couple. The cooler was a great bonus for my driving trips around the island. Two notes: the exterior of the building is a bit dated, but do not worry - the condo is upgraded with modern fixtures and finishes inside including usb charging outlets. Also, as others note in reviews, there was some drag racing and loud cars on the street outside the condo on weekend nights. I shut the windows and slept just fine.

Comfortable Stay
Property was clean and comfortable and a good size and security is very good. It has a dedicated parking stall. Host Terry was very helpful. You can see and hear the ocean from the balcony and there is nice swimming in the sheltered bay. The tree frog chirping at night was part of the tropical experience. A nice place overall.

Lovely spot
My wife and I had a very nice stay at Mauna Loa Shores! The lanai is nice and private, with a great view of the lagoon at Carlsmith Beach Park. The condo itself is very tastefully appointed and decorated, and the kitchen well equipped for cooking. The owner was very communicative leading up to our stay. We would definitely recommend this condo to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable stay in Hilo.

Cozy Condo
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.

Nice but Not Clean
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.

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.

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.

Great place.
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.

Hilo stay- Mauna Loa stays
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.

Mauna Loa Shores
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.
