Same owners as 710 which has been the ultimate destination for many a year. NOW we offer 706. 2 brm 1 bth. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
