Great ocean view! Terrific snorkeling adjacent to the building. Lots of sea turtles and fish. Well appointed unit, in terms of kitchen utensils, linens, furniture. Great appliances, convenient laundry room just down the hall, friendly atmosphere throughout, and a reserved parking spot. We would definitely stay again!

The apartment was clean and everything inside was working as it should. Great location next to a nice tide pool area where snorkeling was possible. The building common areas were not ideal, and the pool needs a good cleaning, but for the money the location and condition of the apartment was a good value.

The condo was certainly satisfactory. Really only issue was the pool is not that great and it was freezing. There was no smoke detector, which my 4 year old grandson noticed. The location was very good.

The property was clean and easy to check into. Had all the cooking utensils one might need. Loved the access to Carlsmith park. The bed is very firm. I have back issues so found it uncomfortable. Also the street is noisy in the evenings, so bring earplugs, as bedroom is on street side. Of note check out time is 10am , so take it into consideration if not an early riser.

Swimming with the Turtles in Hilo

We have stayed at the Mauna Loa Shores before and loved the location as well as the whole building setup. There are washing machines, a wonderful pool and not very crowded. And of course, the location and wonderful views. This condo was perfect for the two of us and had everything we could need. We would stay here again for sure!

Great Location - Secure Building

Great location near nice beach/park within minutes from downtown Hilo. Awesome manager communication with excellent local recommendations. Easy access, parking, and key elevator for secure building access. Only negative is there were many small bugs probably due to the closeness of the park and very loud traffic noise due to being on a main street.

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.

We loved this condo. It was clean and quiet and right next to carlsmith park. It was a bit of a drive (10 minutes) to get into town, but we loved the location. One of my favorite things was the view from the deck. Pure jungle and ocean. Breathtaking! The condo was also well furnished and so comfortable. Wonderful place to stay!

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.
