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.
The condo features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a washing machine, and a coffee maker.

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.

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.
