This is a clean, comfortable property with a nice open kitchen area. We snorkeled every day at the park next door, enjoyed the restaurant across the street, and appreciated that both beds were the same quality and size.

The building is a little dated but the kitchen has been updated and is very nice. No view but a 30 second walk you will be blown away by the view.

This condo was charming and very conveniently located by the beach. Check-in and checkout were very easy and the condo had comfortable rooms. I would suggest providing better toilet paper (not one-ply).

Jolanta was fabulous! She answered all my calls and was so helpful. They were fixing a water leak so there was a bit of noise and water shut offs, but overall the condo was well equipped and in a great location.

The condo had everything we could possibly need during our 2 weeks. Fully set up kitchen with everything for cooking. There was snorkeling and surfing equipment. Towels and beach towels were supplied. Such a peaceful area and you can walk to Carlsmith beach. My husband did not like that the pool was cold. Well thought out for guests. Just bring your personal items

Reviewer Comments:
Small 2 bedroom / 1 bath condo right next to Carlsmith Beach Park. Perfect for a small family. I wouldn't do 4 adults as it might be a little tight trying to share 1 small bathroom and kitchen, etc. They provided starter paper goods, and we had to re-supply while there. There were NO condiments at all which we found odd since every other condo we've ever rented (anywhere else) had at least salt and pepper. Surprised we didn't see any bugs (cockroaches or even geckos). Having to deal with an elevator key was a pain, but I understand why they need it. The pool was nothing special, but the beach park is right next door so go there. Thankfully, being so close to the airport we barely heard the jets. Parking is a bit tricky since the numbers on the spaces are pretty warn out. Being in Hilo, not many places have A/C, so we opened up the windows and doors and turned all the fans on to get some air circulation. Without opening the doors/windows, it gets stuffy. Would be nice if there was a box fan in the main room since the ceiling fan doesn't do much.

Perfect location to stay while you check out all the big island has to offer. No A/C but sometimes there is a little breeze. We were moved from a single family rental just days before departure so was not the experience we were looking for, however if you are cool with older condos and aren't expecting an ocean view, this was a nice location close to several parks and downtown Hilo!

Stayed in condo in Hilo by Carlsmith Beach Park at Mauna Loa Shores condos. Condo was very clean, bathroom updated. Was a little concerned that having no AC would be too hot but with open windows and fans, it was very pleasant- cool in the mornings. 8-10 minute drive to downtown- lots of fun restaurants. Did the farmers market on Saturday and Tsunami museum. 45 minute drive to Volcano National Park- went 3 times to see lava at daybreak and then to hike Kilauea Iki trail. Had breakfast at The Rim at Volcano house. Very relaxed vibe, different from Kona. Swam at beach.

I was pleasantly surprised about the amount of items (kitchen equipment, towels, beach towels, umbrellas, etc., and especially the inclusion of quarters and detergent for laundry) that were included with the condo. Location near Carlsmith Beach Park is awesome. Beds were very comfortable. The only thing I think could be improved upon would be the couch…very uncomfortable :-).

This quaint condo is perfect for 4 guests to enjoy comfortably if you need peace and quiet. It was very clean, with all the necessities needed for a Hawaiian vacation (i.e., beach towels, beach chairs, surfboard, guitar, etc.). We felt like it was a home away from home. The property is also in a perfect setting. The adjacent park, Carlsmith Beach Park is beautiful, picturesque, quiet, and fun place for children and family to spend their vacation. Jolanta was a PERFECT host. She was helpful in making sure we got the keys situated and took the time to talk me through the check-in process. She even allowed us to bring our luggage in earlier than the normal check in time. The only two things that could improve are the musty odor in the room and difficulty using the key to open the beach access gate and room door. One last thing is that because it is a condo, we needed to be quiet from 9:00pm-9:00am. This was definitely difficult for us because we went to family parties each night and had to be very quiet when we got back. Thank you for the stay.
