Also subject to our standard contract provisions.

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 balcony, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a washing machine, and a sofa bed.

We recently stayed in Mauna Loa Shores for 4 nights. The condo was clean and nicely furnished with basic kitchen amenities. Our unit also provided beach chairs, beach towels, boogie boards, and a selection of snorkel equipment. The location is excellent as it is situated right next to Carlsmith Beach Park. It has a beautiful balcony view of the beach park and nature area directly behind the condos. In addition, there is a very good restaurant, The Seaside Restaurant, within a short walk. Assigned parking spaces are provided. The pool area is nice. The condo is located several miles from downtown Hilo which we liked since downtown Hilo seemed pretty congested most of the time. We would definitely stay at Mauna Loa Shores again.

First Trip to Hilo

Location was fantastic. Beach was so beautiful and we loved being able to fall asleep to the sound of the waves. Easy drive into downtown Hilo. Property itself was as advertised and had everything we needed. The building is a bit run down, but the actual unit was nicely done. Property manager was very responsive.

Great location near beautiful Hilo

The condo was very clean, quiet, and well stocked with everything we needed for a great stay. The location was perfect--next to beautiful Carlsmith Beach Park and an easy drive to downtown Hilo, groceries, shopping, and Volcano National Park. We appreciated the elevator to the condo and our assigned free parking spot when we returned from sightseeing each day. We enjoyed a beautiful, sunny week visiting the Hilo Farmers Market, the Tsunami Museum, the Lyman House and Museum, and eating at the best restaurants on the big island. Can't wait to return!

We enjoyed looking out at the lagoon and ocean from the lanai and bedroom windows all times of the day. We felt at home and even pampered. Thanks for the wonderful hospitality. We would enjoy staying here again if we return to Hilo.

Excellent location--enjoy snorkeling and the turtles 5 minute or less from your door

We had stayed in this building before and loved its convenience to Carlsmith beach park. This unit is small, but charming and perfect for our short stay. It was very clean and had everything we needed. We even cooked a couple of meals while we were here.If you want to see the turtles and have some sheltered snorkeling at Carlsmith Beach, this is the place.

Nice location

We enjoyed our stay in Hilo. The view is amazing and being able to just walk to the beach/lagoon and see turtles was so fun. I liked the location just a bit out of town, but easy to drive everywhere. Even though Maunaloa Shores is on a main road, our unit was quiet. The patio and bedroom windows are on the ocean side. Would stay here again.

Charming Hilo

We enjoyed Hilo because it had more character and history and less of a resort feel. The condo met our needs perfectly as a couple. It was spotless, quiet, and well stocked. Proximity to Carlsmith Beach was as a bonus, and we loved the night sounds of the distant surf and night birds. There is much to do, and the property manager gave us great suggestions for excursions and dining though we dined in all but one night due to the incredible, daily farmer’s market. The weather in Hilo in December was incredible with five rainless days and no need for air conditioning.
