The location is very nice. The room was clean and there were starter supplies. There was a full sized dishwasher which is why I picked this place and it works. These were most important things. I really liked that there was a table on the lanai so we could eat meals there. The kitchen was really not supplied with more than enough utensils to cook for 1 meal. Example 1 spatula, no serving spoons or slotted spoons. There are several meals worth of plates forks, spoons and knives, but just not enough cooking implements.

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 recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My husband and I stayed in this unit for 5 days. The unit is well stocked with kitchen items. The unit is located next to a great beach park with easy access to the water. The property managers were great to deal with and we enjoyed having a home base on the Hilo side of the island.

And dawn the next morning lived up to that promise. It revealed the park next door, turtles, great views. And everyone we met in the building were friendly and helpful. Mahalo!!!

Reviewer Comments: Mauna Loa Shore is a good location if not staying at a hotel. Ocean is right in front and to the side. Rooms are decent. Our units had several fans but no A/C. I t can get humid and warm. Other than that it was a pleasant stay. Hilo Seaside Restaurant almost directly across the street. Excellent food & service. Call early, they sell out fast.

First trip to Hawaii as a romantic vacation. A high rise condominium. Had no idea you had to ask if they had air conditioning. We were miserable, hot, humid and sticky. Difficult being romantic when you are dripping in sweat…or at least sticky. Got a condo so I could cook. I did once and was covered in sweat! Ugh!! They will probably charge us extra for all the towels we used from showering so much. Yes they had fans. But all that did was blow hot air . I literally cried our first night there! Secondly we were without water for our last 2 days there. Really? This was due to scheduled maintenance. Not an unforseeable emergency. So management knew before we came yet did not let us know until the night before that we could not use any water or flush from 8-4. Would NEVER stay there again!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is an older condo so don't expect anything fancy. Some of the furniture is old. However the best part of this condo is the proximity to the lagoon and beach. No driving and parking. And You get to see fish and turtle. What would really be nice is if the condo provided some kitchen condiments. Having to buy salt/pepper, sugar, tea, oil for just 4-5 days is such a waste. The property manager is extremely helpful, responsive and kind.

Location, location, location. The condo was comfortable, accessible and safe. Having a beautiful beach park as your front yard is fantastic. To enjoy the mornings while it’s still fairly quiet is what really made the stay. This is my second time at Mauna Loa Shores and I would do it again.

Love location. The sound of the waves crashing. The building security. The unit could use updating.

The bed could use a new mattress. We loved eating our meals out on the balcony.

This was a wonderful trip, the apartment is adequate, it has the basic necessities. A part of me wanted to update it, and make it more like a home. The people who lived in the complex were amazing, the manager of the complex was a very nice man and the pool and location were amazing. The propert just needs a bit of love❤️

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This condo is located in a quiet building that has many residents rather than all tourists. If you like to travel to get a feel for the local community, this is the place. Not only could we sit on the Lanai everyday for hours just watching the lagoons and forest canopy with many birds flying to and fro, but it’s also centrally located near all the best snorkeling in Hilo while only being a 5 minute drive into town. The condo itself was very clean. We enjoyed the king size bed. There are some beach necessities in the closet - a few camping chairs, boogie boards, flippers, and a small cooler. Bring your own snorkel and mask! The kitchen had the basic dishes, pots, pans, and utensils. Plenty sufficient for 2 people. There were coffee filters, but really nothing else in the way of supplies or dry goods, we bought salt and pepper at the gas station. Not too much of an issue as we had simple breakfasts and lunches and mostly ate out for dinner. We loved this place and the location is truly to die for!

I came to Hilo for 10 weeks, eight of which I work from home. The apartment is perfect, the desk and chair were very comfortable and the Wi-Fi was very reliable. Being right next to Carlsmith Park was a great place to jump in the water and swim with the turtles. There were a couple evenings where gatherings are allowed after hours but the police responded very quickly. I will definitely stay again
