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. ##### christine g.

The room booking was easy, and the management company was very responsive before and during our stay. The Condo is well-kept and clean. We had a wonderful time during our stay. This place is right next to Carlsmith Beach Park. I loved getting up in the morning and listening to the birds. At night, I like listening to the coquí frogs. They grow on you. Right behind the building is a dense forest to the right and the beach park to the left. You can go swimming or snorkeling in the ocean very close to the building. Rinse off in the shower and then hit the facility pool. We plan on coming back. It is not too far from downtown Hilo, and the Hilo Airport is very close. Thank you for letting us stay.

The location was a short drive to everything we wanted to see. The unit was clean & comfortable. We had a partial view of the ocean but had great wave sounds! Located right next to Carlsmith Beach was perfect. The beach is a rocky beach, not sand. The only downfall was the unit was missing a toaster. If we ever make it back to Hawaii we would stay here again. ##### Peg O.

Jun 11, 2024 #### Great Location, Older Moldy unit Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This unit was in a great location from Hilo and we loved being right next to the ocean. However, we arrived to find the room had the distinct smell of mold. We found mold on the curtains and in the picture frames which made us somewhat wary. Its clear that this is an older condo and could definitely use some renovation. Carpets in Hilo seems like a bad idea with all the moisture. ##### Brian B. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rebecca G.

I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I was visiting my childhood beach and some Ohana (family) this suite that sits on the beach is great for everything I needed. Spacious for my daughter & I, clean, great Lanai (patio) the frogs are noisy but I am used to it. Bring ear plugs if you are sensitive. This not fancy, it is practical and the surroundings are the vacation. The pool is a quiet bonus. Our grounds manager is amazing. Laundry is small but I was able to get it done. Needs 2.25 per load in quarters. The wild cats and roosters make it home. Wander across the street to the Seaside restaurant and order the Hamakua mushrooms and a Lychee martini ##### Rebecca G.

May 29, 2024 #### Decent place but very noisy Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property was an ideal distance from town and everything Hilo has to offer. However, there is no air conditioning in the unit (although common in Hilo, it would have been nice to know ahead of time through the listing). As a result, you have to open the windows to cool the unit. The unit is next to a busy road that is incredibly loud. If you want to turn on a fan at night instead of open a window, you can't because the fan is connected to a light that cannot turn off. Also do not try to contact the management company because they will not respond. Overall, the place felt very safe and close to a great snorkeling location, but this is not a great place for sleeping. ##### Jared C.
