A Tropical Paradise 2 Bed/1bath. Stunning Bay and Ocean Views

The view was wonderful as was the park/beach nearby. Communication with the owner was amazing. For groceries/dining a vehicle is a definite plus (one restaurant across the street - limited hours, though groceries and food could be ordered in)

Beautiful place to stay at. We loved having dinner on the balcony. When you wake up the ocean is the first thing you here. Randall and Donna were quick with responses. This was a perfect place for a much needed rest and relaxtion. We also felt very safe at the property. Easy access to the beach. We would like to stay again, if we get another chance to come back!

The condo and location was perfect.It was easy to walk to the lagoon in the park next door.The location was perfect for us.We were minutes from downtown Hilo.It was easy to get to the stores we needed When I did have questions for the owner he was very prompt getting back to me. If I ever came back to Hawaii I would definitely stay here again

Absolutely enjoyed our stay here. Randall is awesome and will make sure you are all set!

The condo was beautiful and supplied with everything we needed. Fabulous ocean view and designated parking spot. Quiet location. Would stay again!

This was an excellent condo in a wonderful location. We really enjoyed snorkelling with the turtles in the bay!

Kitchen was fully equipped for cooking. View was amazing. Steps from best beach in Hilo. It rained almost everyday, so we only used then pool once…it was fine

Host was great! The specific condo was good high bamboo ceilings beautiful decor and amazing views. It had tons of kitchen items plus beach gear to borrow. Right next door to Carlsmith beach Building itself is tired and could use a power wash Mostly owners live here. The onsite building manager was very nice building is secure tooLaundry pretty easy to use with AppPool is very basic Sofa and bed too soft for me if that is a priority Good base for public beaches and other attractions including waterfalls Hilo itself seems older and more industrial than Kona side and this lodging is very good especially considering other options

Scenic location, well equiped kitchen, clean

This place far surpassed our expectations. It is arguably the best location in the building, offering outstanding water views framed by beautiful, lush tropical vegetation. The condo is beautifully decorated and exceptionally well equipped, with quality appliances and very comfortable furniture—I especially appreciated the assortment of pillows . We felt right at home, with plenty of space and everything we needed to fully enjoy our stay. Lee was also wonderful to work with and communicated clearly throughout. We truly enjoyed our time here and would absolutely stay again.

We loved the amazing lagoon front views and the high ceilings that this penthouse provided. Furnishings and appliances were up to date, and the kitchen was really well stocked. Beach gear (including beach towels and chairs) was available to use and the 3 little friendly geckos on the lanai were the best! We think that the Mauna Loa is the best place to stay in Hilo, but it isn't a resort - most units have residents and there is no air conditioning. If a fancy resort is what you are looking for, stay on the Kona side. But if you want to really feel like a local - this place can't be beat!

Appreciated having access directly to Carlsmith Beachpark from the property, especially on days when public parking spaces were hard to find. The lagoon at that end is sandy and well protected, with steps that make for easy entry to the water. Nice views of the park and bay from the balcony.

The condo is beautiful and the view is incredible! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay

The property description couldn’t be more accurate and my family and I couldn’t be any happier with our stay! The condo is in close proximity to Carlsmith Beach Park and others, which made it perfect for early swims, snorkeling, and watching the sunrise. The view alone is worth it — sea turtles right below the lanai most mornings! The location was quiet but close to everything in Hilo. The unit was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for the week. Couldn’t have asked for a better home base on the east side of the island — we’d stay here again in a heartbeat!

Condo is just like home. Very well organized condo and building. Building neighbors are great, Carl Smith Lagoon is perfect swimming pool for laps, Richardson for snorkeling. Owners snorkel gear is a bit lacking, mostly kid stuff. Condo super is Mr Friendly and helpful. We think New Chiang Mai Thai on Kalakaua St up in town is the best.

Great location and beautiful condo decor. Picturesque lagoons for swimming and a box of swim/snorkeling things to use. Easy check in. Lots of towels including beach towels. The double twin room was quite noisy at night with the street traffic, but too hot with the windows closed. Recommend earplugs.

This was my second time renting in this condo. As always, it was clean, well equipped and relaxing. Bed in master bedroom was very comfortable. Made friends with two Geckos on the balcony who were always watching me.

Lee's apartment was a lovely base for our Hilo vacation. The building itself is from the 70s, but the entire apartment has been recently renovated. It's a very chill building, and the only noises we heard were the ocean and nature. My kids enjoyed the pool, it was a perfect temperature for us (not too cold and not too hot). Having a private gate to Carlsmith Beach/Lagoon was so nice. We literally just went downstairs, through the gate, and were at the lagoon. I loved having my breakfast on the lanai overlooking the lagoon and the ocean - because it's on the top floor there are trees below blocking the view of the people down at the pool and the beach park, so it was really private. Lee was great with communication as well. Highly recommend!!

The property was very nice - exactly as expected. Very clean and comfortable for our family of 4. The lagoon was absolutely amazing and we saw so much sea life, including LOTS of turtles. Communication was great and everyone we met on property was very friendly and helpful. Would recommend to anyone!

This condo was in a convenient location and with excellent views. Plenty of space and just steps from an amazing lagoon. Snorkling and other water gear included.

We loved this location so much that we already booked it again for MM next year! Views are stunning. Location is perfect, right next to the beach. It is a little hot at times, but with the windows open and screen doors, it cooled off pretty quickly. As a Hawaii family, the only thing Iʻd say that was missing was a rice cooker, but we made due with stove top rice. Only reason we didn't give this 5 stars was because it was pretty dusty and we found old underwear under the vanity in the bathroom. Definitely not a deal breaker for us, though.

Overlooks the best beach on Big Island. Condo had fresh, new sheets and towels. We will definitely stay again.

We enjoyed our stay at the condo. Everything was so tidy and clean and the views from the balcony were wonderful. The proximity of the condo to town and the beautiful shoreline is hard to beat. We would definitely stay here when visiting Hilo again.

Awesome.

Loved the location and property. What you see is what you get.

Well cared-for location. Lots of love in the walls.

What a wonderful house. Perfect for two families with ample space. Veranda for cosy nights and 8 minutes walk to the beach. We will rent again for sure.

I have vacationed at rhe delaware beaches most of my life and was never a gan of Dewey (Rehobeth) I exoected the lovation to be loud and noisy based on its proximity to Dewey but we were wrong. 4 quiet blocks away from all the Dewey beach has to offer, but far enough away to hear the crickets. Well stocked kitchen made it easy to prepare meals. Great hidden gem . mfore

Great property - great kitchen if you like to cook. Perfect spot for families. Clean, comfortable and well appointed. Couldn’t have asked for better accommodations for family get together. Allan is a great host providing lots of helpful information about the area and is readily available For any questions.

2 families with kids ranging from 5 to 15yo. Very comfortable accommodations, close walk to be beach and well stock with all necessities. We were able to cook some days, drive and walk to fun activities and even enjoyed staying in when one of the kids got a 24h fever bug. There were puzzles and games to keep us busy and entertainment options for everyone. Highly recommend it
