This place was so amazing! What a gem.The condo was so clean, comfortable and well equipped- pretty perfect. The view of the park and ocean below was spectacular. Lots of great vegetation all around, a very tropical feel. The large windows and sliding glass doors provided such a fresh cool airy feel, even on a hot day. Morning coffee on the lanai was lovely.The beach park below truly magical. We will definitely choose to stay here again on our next Big Island trip. Thank you!

Loved this place. The inside of the condo felt like a 5 star resort. Towel warmers, bidet, fully stocked kitchen. And the view from the balcony was lovely.

A short (wonderful) stay in Hilo - we will be back!

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: Salt Water Vacations offers excellent customer service from start to finish and our stay was wonderful! The unit was modern, extremely clean and pictures are accurate as shown. Having towel drying bars was a nice added touch given the humidity, we always had fresh dry towels (Mahalo). Having Carl Smith Beach Park as your back drop, swim area is a great bonus, and perhaps that is why we didn't spend a lot of time at the pool. Pool is just ok, but the ocean is the highlight for us. The condo complex itself is safe, neighbours and grounds keepers were friendly. We would highly recommend Salt Water Vacations and this particular unit if you are a couple staying in Hilo.

Very clean and nicely furnished. Amenities lacking and very tired looking. Way too many cats around, smelly.

Mahalo for your review. If you have the time and inclination, we would love it if you could email more details about the amenities that were lacking? The owners of this condo really do go above and beyond with providing everything that they can think of that would fit in a 1BR condo. They saw your review and were hoping for more details of what they could provide that would have made your stay more enjoyable. Because of Hawai'i's very mild year round climate and absence of land-based predators, there are plenty of animals around - cats, chickens, pigs, goats, donkeys, mongoose, and more ;-) There are no pets allowed in the building and there have certainly never been cats inside of the condo. We hope we can host you again next time you visit Hilo. Warmest Aloha, The Salt Water Hawaii Crew Salt Water Real Estate, Hilo HI

Great Condo with “Blue Hawaii” theme. Nice upgrades you don’t usually find in a rental like towel warmers, bidet, charging stations by the bed. Beautiful view of Carlsmith Beach. Easy walk to the water. No air conditioning, but ceiling fans and ocean breeze kept the place pleasant.

The rental was very clean, well stocked and had a great location. The only downside is the condition of the pool. The lounge chairs and tables need to be updated and there are cats living there; they need to be relocated. I wouldn’t want my children to be scratched by a feral cat.

Great spot overall. It got very hot when we were there. It would be great if you could have some floor fans for the place as well. The little basket you have for the Keurig so you can use regular ground coffee doesn't work well. I highly recommend getting this one for the spot. It works great and is easy to clean. I had to use regular filters, which made a mess. Sorry about that.For the baskets - Amazon Description: RETHONE Reusable K Cups Coffee Filter, Stainless Steel K Cup Reusable Coffee Pods Filters for Keurig 1.0 & 2.0 Coffee Makers BPA-Free Refillable Coffee Filters (2 Packs)

Great property and location. Condo presents as described. Retractable screened front door was perfect for breezy days. Pool needs a bit of attention. Quite property, clean grounds with tropical flowers bushes and a few papaya fruit trees. The greenery behind the property hid the swimmable/wading beach and ocean view. Close to everything. A bit of loud music and cars. All in all enjoyed our stay!

Good rental close to the beach park

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Nice condo steps to Carlsmith Beach Park, nice for morning walks. We liked that it was close to town. The condo itself had everything we needed. The fan and the heated towel racks in the bathroom scored high points. The towel racks helped towels dry fast. The location is pretty noisy even with quiet hours, people visit the beach park even after hours and their voices tend to carry and the road gets a lot of cruisers. Building and park maintenance starts at 8am, we don't sleep late so that wasn't an issue for us. Would I recommend, that depends on what you want. Quiet, no. Close to town and the beach park, yes.

Mahalo for your review and info for future guests, Amy! Maunaloa Shores is adjacent to one of Hilo's best beach parks, so it does have see more action than our remote and rural properties.
