About this property

KeALOHA - INCREDIBLE views, Spectacular Beach Park, the Best snorkeling, Turtles

  • The MAUNA LOA SHORES is right on the ocean in HILO; an exceptional town with plenty to do here on the east side of our beautiful island. The Beach Park next door where you can swim with sea turtles is a once in a life experience. My 45 years as a resident and 42 years as a Realtor here will insure you know where to go and what to do to make it the perfect stay.

    Beautifully decorated and furnished, Finest in the Mauna Loa Shores..Best view of the Carlsmith Beach Park next door. Your bed overlooks the waves. The ultimate place for your Hilo stay. Mauna Loa Shores is ECO friendly solar powered electric!!!! You will absolutely love the condo, the amenities, the views, our Hilo town. Our piece of paradise awaits your stay. 1brm 1bth with queen size bed in brm. Full Kitchen, wifi, this condo has it all. EVEN smart TV with Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, etc. BUT the ultimate feature is Carlsmith Beach Park right next door is the best for swimming and snorkeling. Almost always sea turtles. EZ access to ocean, protected reef. Beautiful lawn with huge trees, Tide pools. Truly one of the finer spots on any of the Islands.

    Hilo Town is a very special place. Not touristy like Honolulu, Maui and such, a real old Hawaii charm. Right now lava is flowing into the ocean, a sight to behold. Lava tours can be had. You will come back again and again.

    We are ready to have you share in our Paradise. YOU will enjoy as the owners Karl and Susan have and they have been all over the world. Come see what we mean.

    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.

This was our 4th stay at the Mauna Loa Shores. The direct access to the shore with the Carlsmith Beach Park is one of the most appreciated amenities of this location. The apartments are fully equipped and very professionell and friendly managed by Terry. The transfer from the airport takes only a 10 minutes ride, all kind of shopping and a few restaurants are within a 5 min drive. Many attractions of Big Island are easy to reach within a one hour drive. We will return for shore.

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!

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.

This vacation rental is a gem. It was clean, well stocked and possibly the best view on the island. Our favorite thing to do was walk next door to Carlsmith Beach Park and hang out in the water. We saw sea turtles there several times. If I ever go back to the big island I would want to 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.

My expectations probably were too high, tbh

This location was very clean. Directions to the location, finding the key, how to use the elevator etc were in one very long paragraph. Would have been helpful if that was laid out more thoughtfully. The neighborhood and property were rougher than the pictures portrayed. Once I got into the condo, which was very clean, I felt uncomfortable and unsafe with the surroundings. I stayed long enough to use the restroom and book a hotel.
