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. plus sofa sleeper in living room for 3rd guest. 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.

Hilo Adventure-
Our stay was great! Loved exploring the town and surrounding areas. Enjoyed touring the Hawaiian Vanilla Farm & tasting, Mauna Loa Macadamia Nut Farm, cafe Pesto and the Ponds. Scenic drive along the coastline. Swam with hono, ate yummy food and consumed a few G&T…

I’m glad that the lagoon is public. It does get pretty busy on sunny weekends. Nearby botanical gardens are much cooler than Kīlauea.

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.

We didn't even stay in the unit disgusting
The photos are misleading . There is no close walk to the Rocky water you have to walk on the road to get there.The building was disgusting and pool was not even able to swim in full of mold . The manager of the building was an absolute mess. I paid for 5 days and had to rent through a new local spot . I would not recommend this to anyone. The owner and manager will not refund when you see the facility so don't risk it .

The view!
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.

Great Little Hilo Condo!
This place is conviently located in South Hilo- close to parks, resturants, and the Volcano! Although the building could use some work, the unit is nicely decorated and appointed with all the conviences you need for a Hawaii vacation. I would hightly recommend staying here if Hilo is in your plans.

We really enjoyed our stay at Mauna Loa Shores. We loved being able to walk outside and swim and snorkel. Hilo restaurants, shops, and the farmers market are minutes away. The condo isn’t huge, but it fit three people just fine. Very clean and well stocked.

Great Stay!
We really enjoyed our stay in Hilo. It's very laid back and close to major tourist sites (volcanos, Mauna Kea, Akaka Falls, Big Island Candies, etc.) The condo was a perfect location. We enjoyed swimming in the the Carlsmith pools and jogging in the area every day. The condo was well stocked, but not cluttered. We appreciated that it had plenty of room for our items and was very clean.
