Amazing to stay so close to the lagoon, which was full of turtles everyday, particularly at sunset. Main bedroom has great view of ocean and beach park
Comfortable beds; well stocked kitchen; plenty of linen; quiet; trees were beautiful wish I could had a better view of Ocean; easy check in and out; no is issues; would recommend; The Sea Side Restaurant excellent and just next door
A great place to stay as a home base to explore the Hilo area. The condo is well-provisioned, comfortable, and clean, and it more than met our needs. The Carl Smith Beach Park next door is a huge bonus - the lagoon is a wonderful place to swim or snorkel - and you literally walk out the parking lot and you are there!
Very nice condo with all we needed. The view and access to Carlsmith Park is a huge bonus. Terry is very good to work with and all went smoothly. We loved our week there!
Lovely breeze, very clean and fresh, appreciated the coffee and tea, also the well stocked kitchen, easy to operate TV and beach chairs. We will be back.
Condo was perfect for our needs. Pool was much better than I imagined from the photos on listing. Also appreciated having a designated parking spot during our stay. No a/c in this building so it was very warm in condo, but they had fans for every room. Would stay here again.
We loved our stay at this place! It is located right next to Carlsmith Beach Park where you can snorkel and swim. It is very nicely appointed and has everything you need. It was nice to have an elevator with our luggage. We met the maintenance man on the way in who was very friendly and guided us to our place. Parking is free with a dedicated parking spot. The owner is very responsive and helpful!
Everything we wanted and more! The property was beautifully kept, offering views of the ocean right from the lanai and only a few steps to immerse in the water. The house was well-equipped with everything you might need—modern kitchen, comfy beds, and a spacious living area. The proximity to Carlsmith Beach was ideal, just a short walk away to enjoy swimming with sea turtles and exploring tide pools. The host was incredibly attentive and responding to all our questions within a few minutes. Would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful and scenic getaway in Hilo.
Clean, well appointed, bright 1 Bedroom that easily accommodated three adults. We particularly liked the lanai. Days, had a nice view of park and bay. At night, you hear the waves crashing against the rocks. You really are staying on the beach. Special mention of Terry, the owner. He’s super responsive. This was a great experience. Thank you.
We have stayed at this complex before, this was our first time in this unit. It was very nice, especially the mattress. Wife and I both woke up first day and commented on the mattress. It has a nice balcony and very close to downtown Hilo. It is always nice when there are condiments left over from previous users. I am not kidding about that. We will stay there again next year.

Liked the gate/elevator key--felt safer access; and assigned parking spot--no need to look for one. Walkable access to beach park was a plus, also to dinner restaurant. The location was 8-10 minutes away from downtown and other shopping/restaurants and access to main traffic routes easy to get to. The unit was supplied with most daily needs for cooking,cleaning, towels and linens.Thumbs up for that. I thought the unit had air conditioning, it did not. so it was a hot box from 11 to about 11; tried to close up windows and run fans. The bedroom window tracks need to be cleaned or lubricated because it was hard to open or close them each day. Although the building has noise restriction times for nighttime, the street outside does not. There was racing, reving, car burnouts along the street next to the building late night--sleep disturbing especially since we had to sleep with windows open.

This is my honest opinion. If you are bothered by excessive street noise, then do not stay on this street or this property. According to comments that I read the noise stops after 10 p.m. Well, that depends. On Wednesday and Sunday that is true. On Thursday, Friday and Saturday the noise continued until after 1 a.m. I talked to two residents in the elevator. One has lived there 5 years. He said the noise is a major problem. The other said the noise used to be worse until they installed speed bumps. I have never heard such load music from some cars and such load noise from mufflers. Also, if it is hot outside you will need to open the windows in the two bedrooms. My wife couldn't open or close them. I could with a lot of effort. We quickly learned to open them to reduce the temperature in the rooms. And close them when we tried to sleep because of the excessive street noise. There are some positives. The lagoon is VERY family friendly. The view is outstanding. We could see flocks of birds leaving the area in the morning and if it was rainy we could see where it was raining. Everything else in the unit was okay (normal for condos). But not up to the standards of an average time share where everything works and plates etc. are brand new. Would I stay again? No. Too many negatives. The pool area was poor. The unit was average. The street noise was terrible.
Condo & Host were great. Unfortunately our timing was bad in that the next door renovations & park /tree maintenance that occurred for days on end were so noisy we could hardly carry on a conversation. An air conditioner that would allow us to close up the windows & lanai door to block noise would have been helpful. And since we were there a month, a working oven would have been nice as well.
My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights with our 3 kids- ages 7, 9, &11. There was plenty of room for all of us, very well appointed, had everything we needed and the beach supplies were a nice bonus! Having the beach park right next door was amazing and the kids also loved the pool. This was a nice place to have as home base for seeing everything we wanted to see on the east side of the island!
Nice older condo kept in good shape next to a very popular park on the water. Very easy to go next door for a swim and snorkel. Can be noisy at times with road noise and loud music at the park.
The location and view were great, right next to the beach! It was super clean with pretty much all the appliances you would need or want were there. I did find a piece of garbage under my bed (food wrapper) but that was quite literally the only problem. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone on a two-person trip!!
This was fine for us. We did not cook. It was a very hot week and no AC was a bit uncomfortable. Always nice snorkling.

Sitting on the balcony with coffee or cocktails and the beautiful view of Carlsmith Beach Park and ocean was so pleasant. Loved having an elevator for all our luggage. Beds were comfortable and all was clean. The floor was very slippery as we entered the front door and stove top is confusing on how to operate. Overall we enjoyed having this condo as a place to come back to at the end of our adventurous days.
Nicely decorated condo in tropical decor. Fit our needs for 3 day visit in Hilo. Small outside balcony with dining area was nice to enjoy, overlooking the park & bay. The condo unit was quiet. The only down side was the street was busy with traffic & at night loud street rodders, but it did become quiet by 10-11pm.It did not bother my spouse who goes to bed early. It was great to be close to bay & ocean. Saw 2 sea turtles that swam right by us!
disappointed that check out was so early. i also thought that the fact that the shower was in the tub that there should have been bars to hold on to as you got in and out and maybe one on the wall so you could steady yourself while showering. i did find a stool to use to help get into bed since they were so high. i also would have liked an extra set of sheets so that i could spend some nights sleeping on the futon
