Heaven in Hilo

Steps from Carlsmith and everything you need for an amazing vacation. Home away from home only better. Location is central to everything in Hilo and points North and South. I loved every minute of my stay and will definitely return.

We had a fab time. Jack the rooster made sure we woke daily at 6am. A the manager made sure we were safe in our first ever tsunami evacuation. The snorkeling with the turtles in the "back yard" was the cherry on top!

The condo itself was cozy, clean, and very secure. Despite no a/c, tge breeze from the ocean and ceiling fans kept us very comfortable. The pool was nice as well, and laundry room steps from the unit. The location was great as well, less than 10 minutes from Hilo airport and town. I would recommend this to anyone staying on this side of the island.

Lovely location and clean condo

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed the condo. It was well appointed with the appliances. The furniture was quite comfortable and the beds were very nice with quality bedding. The ceiling fan would not work without the sconce light on in the guest room so this was hard in a place with no air conditioning. The oscillating standup fan would not adjust in the same room but we made it work. Overall, I recommend this rental but the ceiling fan issue is not acceptable.

Cute 2 bedroom next to the best beach on the Hilo side. Close to things with a vehicle or use the bus stop right outside the building. Pool does have limited times, and it’s not lit.

Not Going Home

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful time staying at the condo. Clean, comfortable, and staff that goes out of their way to help. And Carlsmith Beach Park... spectacular! The only thing I would have liked is A/C (which none of the condos in the area have), but it wasn't a sticking point. Pun intended.

Thank you for providing access to your home for vacation. The rental was clean and comfortable. We were very close to beautiful parks and the ocean. The lanai was large enough for all 4 adults in our party to enjoy together with a lovely view of the grounds and peaks of the water. We spent time in old Hilo as well as the nearby falls. Easy access to all. Thank you again

It was an enjoyable stay.

Just steps from a fantastic beach, and a short walk to several others. The unit is in a great location, secure, and quite comfortable. The Wi-Fi works well. The kitchen had everything we needed. You can be at grocery stores, restaurants, and farmers' markets within a short drive. I'd stay here again.

Lovely little spot near best snorkeling in Hilo

Loved our stay! We chose this property based on its proximity to Richardson Beach and it did not disappoint. The unit had everything we needed - even a cooler bag for a day trip to Kilauea. We felt comfy and very much at home. Really loved the artwork! The building itself is showing its age, but the unit is very much up to date. We enjoyed the rooster next door crowing us awake every morning at just the right time. We'd definitely come back for another stay.good morning

Wonderful week in Hilo

My husband and I stayed in this condo for 9 days and enjoyed every minute. First of all, Salt Water Vacations staff were wonderful. We had a local liaison introduce herself and was present for any concerns we might have had. They bent over backwards to make our stay comfortable. The condo was very comfortable and inviting. The bed in the main bedroom was so comfortable. Kitchen well stocked. We met many wonderful people there at Mauna Loa Shores. Big shout out to Mr. Gomez, the building supervisor. Extremely helpful. I enjoyed the pool every day and the best part of the day was swimming in the lagoons of Carl Smith park. Right behind the building. Turtles!! beautiful. Will for certain return.

I chose this property because of location. It's literally on my childhood beach. It's extremely peaceful. Our suite was spacious and our lanai had a gorgeous view of some of the jungle & some ocean view. The coqui frogs get noisy at night but my ear plugs did the trick
