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.

The apartment was decently equipped—plenty of kitchen stuff for light cooking, plenty of towels, boogie boards etc, very comfortable and incredible views of the sea. Easy access to swimming with turtles.

Very Clean and nicely stocked. The outside of the building looked old but the view was beautiful! We would stay there again. Thanks so much!

We had stayed in this building before and loved its convenience to Carlsmith beach park. This unit is small, but charming and perfect for our short stay. It was very clean and had everything we needed. We even cooked a couple of meals while we were here.If you want to see the turtles and have some sheltered snorkeling at Carlsmith Beach, this is the place.

We enjoyed our stay in Hilo. The view is amazing and being able to just walk to the beach/lagoon and see turtles was so fun. I liked the location just a bit out of town, but easy to drive everywhere. Even though Maunaloa Shores is on a main road, our unit was quiet. The patio and bedroom windows are on the ocean side. Would stay here again.

The place was clean & check in was easy. You have to drive through an industrial neighborhood in order to get to the condo which isnt that nice. But, once you are there the beach and condonis very nice

This is the perfect home base for a few days of exploring the Hilo area. The apartment is comfortable, clean, nicely appointed. All the basics and more are provided. Terry gave good information, replied promptly to my queries. We would definitely stay here again next time we’re in Hilo.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Wow the pictures don’t lie. Right in the cove, fishes turtles and swimming out the back door. Trails to another cove as well. Perfect location, the condo was clean, organized and had everything we could want to adventure around. Coming back!

This is an attractive, up-to-date condo with an open floor plan, comfortable bed and lovely water view from the main room, bedroom and lanai.. Terry, the property manager is very accessible and responsive. The kitchen and linen closet are well stocked. We snorkeled every day and had a fun, relaxing time.

Well appointed (well stocked), great location. Near enough to Hilo but basically at Carls Smith Park. Swimming, snorkeling, turtle watching. I also really enjoyed the pool. Very clean and under used so it was quiet and peaceful.
