Top Carlsmith Beach Park Hotel Reviews

Direct Oceanfront Mauna Loa Shores #508 next Carlsmith Beach Park

8/10 Good

"Awesome location right next to Carl Smith Beach. It's an older complex but the unit looked just as advertised and had been renovated. There is only a small portable ac unit in the main bedroom. It did get a bit warm in the afternoons. The washer and dryer are located down the hall not actually in the unit. We enjoyed spending evenings and mornings on the lanai and watching sea turtles on the beach. The condo came well stocked with beach chairs and umbrella."

8/10 Good

"The place was spotless and check-in was quick and easy. Two issues to flag, though: the single bathroom has no lock, which felt awkward with multiple guests sharing it. And there’s no air conditioning, which made for some rough nights during our summer stay. Great location and clean space, but the host should update the listing to explicitly call out no AC."

Ocean View Chic Condo at Carlsmith Beach Park in Hilo!

8/10 Good

"Great spot overall. It got very hot when we were there. It would be great if you could have some floor fans for the place as well. The little basket you have for the Keurig so you can use regular ground coffee doesn't work well. I highly recommend getting this one for the spot. It works great and is easy to clean. I had to use regular filters, which made a mess. Sorry about that.For the baskets - Amazon Description: RETHONE Reusable K Cups Coffee Filter, Stainless Steel K Cup Reusable Coffee Pods Filters for Keurig 1.0 & 2.0 Coffee Makers BPA-Free Refillable Coffee Filters (2 Packs)"

10/10 Excellent

"Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great time at Maunaloa Shores. The facility has what you need - including a nice and clean pool. It is a great location, as well, right next to Carlsmith Beach. We ended up spending more time at Onekahakaha Beach (1 mile away) because it was great for young kids. The unit has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The unit was impeccably clean, too."

10/10 Excellent

"We've stayed at a few of these condo units and this one was exceptional as it faced the ocean and not the street (OUCH!) Well appointed, great soaps (you know we're not picky, just appreciative) paper plates in case you just don't want to clean and still plenty of kitchen equipment for me to make a decent meal!"
