The neighborhood: Maunaloa Shores sits along Hilo’s lush oceanfront, next to Carlsmith Beach Park and its protected lagoons. These calm coves are a special east-side option for a swim when the open ocean is rougher. Hilo’s farmers market, restaurants, and local shops are a short drive away, while Liliuokalani Gardens, Coconut Island, and the Hamakua Coast make good additions to a day out. It is a green, local waterfront setting for travelers who want waterfalls, gardens, and the slower pace of Hilo rather than a resort strip. What's nearby: Take a short walk to Carlsmith Park next door for a dip in the ocean where the lagoons create calm swimming areas and provide protection from the surf. The four-mile stretch of different swimming coves in this area (called Keaukaha) is a wonderful location to introduce children and newcomers to the water. Keep an eye out for our local Hawaiian monk seal 'mama' and her children who sometimes pop up on shore in this neighborhood, but don't disturb them as they are very endangered. Nearby attractions: • Onomea Bay (2 min drive) • Hawaiʻi Plantation Museum (3 min drive) • Hāmākua Chocolate Farm (3 min drive) • Hawaiʻi Tropical Botanical Garden (4 min drive) • Krishna Cow Sanctuary (5 min drive) • Hilo Ocean Adventures (10 min drive) • Hilo Farmers Market (11 min drive) • Rainbow Falls (14 min drive) • Akaka Falls State Park (21 min drive)
Getting around: Hilo is just about 10 minutes from Hilo International Airport, making it one of the most convenient Big Island bases. 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.

Next to beach, when surf is calm good for snorkeling, turtles, beautiful lava rocks beach. Great historical and delicious across the street restaurant! Fully stocked kitchen, linens, etc
Quirky older building in good location
We've stayed at this location for 7 days in January and we enjoyed our stay very much. The apartment complex is located right by Carlsmith beach park, which is great for swimming and snorkeling, or just relaxing, and about 1 mile away from Onekahakaha beach park which is great for babies and toddlers and not only. The apartment was clean and the kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. The sound of the coqui frog at night was very soothing.
Well appointed Master bed very comfortable
Nice 2 bedroom, one bathroom apartment on the 6th floor in Hilo! No AC but fans, and it was totally fine for us. The nearby beach is absolutely breathtaking and easy to walk to! My kids and I had a lot of fun walking everyday to enjoy it! The main reason I took off a star is that you’re on the 6th floor and the downstairs neighbor came up a bit prematurely (in our opinion) when our kids were making noise. We were trying to get them to quiet down (they are toddlers so harder for them to understand). They were making noise and we were trying to handle it, but she came up quickly to let us know we were being noisy. It wasn’t during quiet hours. I recommend this place, but if you have young children- may want to reconsider. It became stressful for us to try to keep them quieter.
The apartment was stinky as soon as we entered it wad hard for us to even breathe. Probably cause of moisture. The carpet in the dining area looked pretty old. The bathroom mirror was not clean it had mold which was visible . Some of the dishes weren't clean. Called vacasa regarding the issue. They weren't helpful at all. Very disappointed
