About this property
New Fall Deal Hilo 2BR Waterfront Condo by Carlsmith Lagoons
Summary:
Carlsmith Beach Park’s calm lagoons are the kind of place families remember, and Maunaloa Shores 109 puts them within a short walk. This two-bedroom, one-bath waterfront condo sleeps four across two beds, offering a practical Hilo base for travelers who would rather spend the day outside than in the car. Make breakfast in the full kitchen with quartz countertops and stainless steel appliances, then use the breakfast bar for four before heading out. Back home, the furnished balcony catches ocean breezes, the shared pool is downstairs, and the lush gardens give the setting a true Hilo feel. Fast WiFi and a dryer are available for everyday needs. This is a bright, breezy choice for a small family looking to explore East Hawaii’s greener, slower side.
The Space:
Bright furnishings and a sunny living area give this two-bedroom, one-bath condo a cheerful feel for up to four guests. The full kitchen has quartz countertops and stainless steel appliances, plus a breakfast bar for four. Step onto the furnished balcony for ocean breezes, or settle in for a movie after the day outside. Fast WiFi and a dryer add useful convenience without overstating the laundry setup.
Guest Access:
Guests at Maunaloa Shores in Hilo enjoy access to a shared outdoor and communal pool along with an elevator to the units. The property offers direct beach access and beach frontage, with a lit path to the entrance for easy evenings. Patios and outdoor seating make the most of the ocean views.
The Neighborhood:
Maunaloa Shores sits by Carlsmith Beach Park, where Hilo’s protected lagoons offer calmer water for a dip and a different kind of beach day than the island’s surfier shores. The grounds are lush and green, with a shared pool close by for an easy afternoon swim. Hilo itself is a good base for travelers who enjoy rainforest scenery, local markets, and a more relaxed East Hawaii pace. This waterfront area is especially appealing for families who like to walk to the water and come back to a quieter home base.
What's nearby:
Take a short walk over to Carlsmith Beach Park for a dip in the ocean where the lagoons create calm swimming areas and offer protection from the surf. The four-mile stretch of swimming coves in this area (called Keaukaha) is a wonderful location to introduce children and newcomers to the warm waters. And be sure to keep an eye out for sea turtles while you swim or scuba dive. When you get hungry, sample the Hawaiian-style surf 'n' turf at the Seaside Restaurant And Aqua Farm, just steps from your door.

Getting Around:

A rental car is recommended for reaching Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and the lush Hamakua Coast, though downtown Hilo itself is quite walkable, with farmers markets, local shops, and waterfront dining within easy reach on foot. Parking is generally simple, with street spots and small lots nearby.

Nice Condo, with access to an amazing beach!
This condo was really nice. My family of was very comfortable here. We enjoyed the pool, balcony, and especially the easy access to the beach. The beach was amazing and we spent every morning snorkeling with resting sea turtles. You will enjoy your stay in this amazing place.
We had an amazing time in Hilo. The property was nice right next to a beach where you can snorkel. We fell asleep every night listening to the jungle sounds and feeling the ocean breeze blowing through the windows. Absolutely amazing!
Clean, plenty of towels, good location next to oceanfront park, decent views, comfortable beds, complex in good shape despite age, friendly folks.
Could use more ant control. Would stay here again.

Great stay
Everything was ready for our arrival! Clean clean, clean! Lovely beds and pillows. Was surprised at No A/C but didn’t need it. Great location, easy to get downtown Hilo from here. The views were great.
Generally pretty good, nice layout, well suited to trade wind cooling. Lock in unit difficult to engage. All amenities, except snorkel gear. Security great

Harold, thank you for your review. We sincerely apologize for the issues you experienced during your time with us. Please know that our guest services team is working on the issues reported and will have them addressed as soon as possible. We hope to have the opportunity to better impress you in the future!
Great location, next to a very picturesque park/beach. No restaurants in walking distance but easily drivable. Quiet building and area. No AC in unit but the unit airs out well with the fans and windows.
Great Location for Exploring the Island of Hawai'i
This 2-bedroom is in a great location for exploring the Island of Hawai'i. While Hilo is wetter than other parts of the island, and gets rain (usually in the morning), it is perfectly located to explore the vast majority of the island with no location being more than 2 hours each way. The state seashore park next door is wonderful and there are turtles there regularly swimming alongside you in the tidal pool. There is a view of the ocean from the balcony and the master bedroom, the furniture is functional, the kitchen could use some more cutlery and a pantry shelf, but for the rest it's just fine for a week or more stay.

Hi, Daniel. We are so happy to hear you enjoyed the amazing location of the condo! Your suggestions regarding cutlery and a pantry shelf are appreciated as areas to improve upon, and we will be sure to pass this along to our local manager for consideration. Thank you for staying with us; we hope to see you again!
Nice comfortable property, very close to most beautiful coastline!
Property was as shown on VRBO.
Door Lock was difficult to learn and parking spot hard to find as numbers are eroded, but onsite property manager was amazingly helpful! Suggest flipping frig door to swing open from other side. Would make cooking much easier. 😊
would stay here again!
Good location, good property in a older condo building off the main road. 2 bedroom condo with a view of the ocean and pool from the lanai. Property does need some repairs as the screen door falls out of the track and the front door needs to be adjusted as there is a large gap when closed and the deadbolt is very difficult to lock.

Older but very nice
Very clean and looked pretty much like the pics. I really appreciated that they provided me with 2 extra fans as I had not read that there was no air conditioning. But it was written in description. Also, we wouldn’t normally want air in Hawaii but we were there during a heat wave.
Beautiful view of the “jungle” off the patio and you can easily walk down to the lagoon and snorkel and swim.
