Summary: Treat yourself to timeless Old Hawai‘i elegance. This bright and breezy 4th-floor oceanfront 2-bedroom condo—with secure elevator access—offers stunning garden and ocean views as your front-row seat to paradise. Perfectly perched above the turquoise waters of Carlsmith Beach Park, enjoy refreshing trade winds and the soothing sounds of the sea. Imagine: unwind in the heated pool, lounge on the sun deck, or stroll through private gated access to the beach. The Space: Sleep to wave sounds and wake up to vibrant rainbows arching over the Pacific. Unwind again at sunset as Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa glow in the distance—all from the comfort of your private lanai. Excellent natural light and cooling trade winds Fully equipped custom kitchen with granite countertops and everything you need to make home style meals Smart TV with streaming capabilities Covered lanai with oceanfront lounging Bathroom with tub-shower Peaceful ambiance year-round 🌴 Amenities & Location: Private gated access to Carlsmith Beach Park and scenic trails to Lalakea Ponds Easy walking distance to Kealoha and Richardson’s Beaches Onsite swimming pool and library at the Mauna Loa Shores complex Shared laundry facility conveniently located near the secured elevator Just 10 minutes from downtown Hilo and Hilo International Airport Whether you're here to snorkel with sea turtles, explore East Hawai‘i’s lush coastline, or simply relax to the sound of the waves, this oceanfront escape offers an unforgettable island experience. Guest Access: Guests have full access to all building amenities. The Neighborhood: Your stay is set in the heart of Hilo, the Big Island’s charming and laid-back east side. This isn’t the resort scene — it’s authentic Hawaiʻi. Wake to the sound of coqui frogs and tropical rain showers that give the island its lush gardens and waterfalls. Within minutes, you can stroll along Hilo Bay, browse the Hilo Farmers Market for local fruit and crafts, or enjoy island-roasted coffee at a café downtown. The neighborhood blends peaceful residential streets with the natural beauty of Wailoa River State Recreation Area, nearby beaches like Carlsmith (right outside the door), Richardson Ocean Park, and Onekahakaha, and easy access to volcano adventures at Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park (about 45 minutes away). By night, the air cools, the sky fills with stars, and you’ll feel what locals call the “old Hawaiʻi” rhythm — calm, friendly, and unhurried. Hilo is the perfect home base to explore waterfalls, black-sand beaches, lava tubes, and all the hidden gems of the Big Island’s east coast. Getting Around: A car is recommended to explore the island. Uber and Lift are possible to and from the Airport. Other Things to Note: In the Hawaiian Tradition, please remove shoes when entering. Interaction with Guests: From the moment you arrive, we full respect your privacy but are never more than a message away if you need anything. ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach ### Pool/Spa -
