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.

We had a great stay at Terry's place. The location was perfect for our itinerary, and the view is divine. We loved sitting on the lanai with our morning coffee, looking out over Carlsmith Beach Park. We found everything we needed for our week on the Big Island, including a cooler to take picnic lunches with us, folding chairs that came in really handy, and snorkeling gear and beach towels. The kitchen is well appointed and had everything we needed for breakfast and dinners at home. It was really nice to have the laundry room just steps down the hall, too, and there were laundry baskets and detergent and things provided. Terry and the property manager were both prompt and solicitous during our stay, and sent over a really nice list of restaurants, attractions, and other suggestions. We went to Hawaii Tropical Botanical Gardens on their recommendation, and it was indeed a highlight of our trip. Thank you for a wonderful week!

This unit is on the top floor, with a magnificent ocean and bay view, overlooking the beach park. The unit is nicely laid out with a compact kitchen (which is lacking a dishwasher), a living room/dining room combination, along with the two bedrooms. The primary bedroom has a wall of windows overlooking the ocean and bay. The other bedroom has a view of Mauna Loa. Both bedrooms have very high legged beds, 35 inches to the top of the mattress, made for easy viewing of the water and mountain, but making it a bit difficult to get in and out of, especially if you are mobility challenged or a shorter person. The television entertainment, in the living room and primary bedroom, is mostly Roku TV, and apps for numerous other services. The internet access is free and fairly strong. The one bathroom is small, but functional, with a bathtub and shower combo, which is setup nicely with grab bars. The lanai is large enough for a loveseat and two wicker, cushioned chairs, and a table. The lanai was our favorite place to sit and either read, play games or just enjoy the view. Again, the view is fantastic!The parking space for the unit is conveniently located directly across from the building main entrance.The condo building is very secure, with a key system for the ground floor elevator, making it difficult to get up to the condo units without an elevator key. The property is well maintained and quiet, in general.

Gorgeous setting and nicely renovated apartment. The room with the ocean view and the lanai are stellar and bring in the nightly sounds of crashing waves and the surrounding rainforest.

The view from this condo can not be beat. We so enjoyed watching the sun rise and set from the lanai, highlight of our trip to Hilo. Very clean and well kept condo with the most comfortable bed, pillows, and sheets. Great location next door to Carl Smith Beach Park - turtles can be found all day! Can run on the road right outside the condo which was handy for us. The hosts provided clear check in instructions and many excellent recommendations of things to do and where to dine. Moon and Turtle restaurant provided the best meal of our trip! If you are looking for a condo in a quieter, not as touristy location this is the place for you.

This condo was wonderful with everything you could think of that you would need. It was wonderful sleeping with the windows open to hear the ocean waves and feel the ocean breeze. I would recommend this condo and plan on booking it again!Thank you!

We were blessed with sunny days to enjoy this perfect condo! We did the Volcanoes, coconut island, Queen Liliuokalani Gardens, cafe Pesto and swam/snorkelled in the lagoon with some fish and 3 turtles. We hope to come back next year!

Super views and right next to the beach. Place was very clean and roomy. The lanai was perfect for both morning coffee and an evening glass of wine. Close to everything. If you arrive after dark be sure you have a flashlight and some patience as locating and accessing the key box is a challenge. Would definitely stay again.

While having A/C would be nice (it's a little warmish at times), the views more than compensated.

If you are looking for a vacation rental in the Hilo area, look no further! The penthouse at the Mauna Loa Shores has a breathtaking view of one of the best swimming beaches on the Big Island- Carlsmith Park, and is super convenient to both downtown Old Hilo and all the supermarkets and stores in the shopping malls along the Hawaii Belt road. The condo itself is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. When we visit Hilo in the future we will definitely make this place our home away from home!
