Honu Penthouse 2brm Spectacular Views. Swim with Sea Turtles

The condo was beautiful, and the view from the balcony even more so. Right next door to a great beach with sea turtles, and a jungle trail. We couldn't have asked for more! The owners were quick to respond and very easy to work with. Thank you Terry and Amber!

N'hésitez pas cette location est très agréable !!!!!

This is the second time we have stayed in one of Terry's great rentals at Mauna Loa Shores. We absolutely love the scenic lagoon and beach, the secure elevator, and free parking space.

Inside the Condo itself, the kitchen and bathroom are well-stocked, there are beach towels, coolers, and other thoughtful conveniences such as a drying rack on the lanai, beach chairs, spices, dish soap, dishwasher soap, and a folding sleep pad which came in handy for our adult children who no longer can share a double bed comfortably.

Checking in and out was easy with the key box - although coordinating use of the two sets of keys for four of us was a little tricky at times.

Overall, we would highly recommend staying here.

A couple of minor suggestions: a rice cooker would be nice, and we also LOVED the beautiful tropical flower arrangement that welcomed us in the one bedroom unit we rented from Terry last July. Also, the floors were not clean when we arrived in the Honu Penthouse (as compared to the one bedroom unit we rented in July.) From the time we arrived, the floors were a bit sticky and dirty with our bare feet.

Other than that, we again enjoyed our stay at Mauna Loa Shores and would gladly stay there again and again.

Mahalo nui loa, Terry!

Nice location for snorkeling or driving to the volcano. Owner was easy to work with, not a lot of extra rules or chores to deal with. Central location. We did a "friends of the volcano" lava tube hike, was fun, have to sign up in advance. Richardson beach was good to snorkel at just down the road. Other people in the condo were friendly and helpful.

Notes:

washer & dryer is coin and shared with the 7th floor, we had to wait sometimes but got clothes washed when we wanted.

Master bed is up high so you look right out the window, nice view.

check out is at 10AM so be aware or negotiate

Loved the view. Visited the turtles every morning. Condo had everything we might need. We explored the waterfalls and attempted to hike to the flowing lava. We would definitely stay here again
