Outstanding Location and Views A guest from Silver Spring, MD recommends this property. Stayed for 28 days in February, 2013 This property has a splendid view of the ocean. You can walk right out the door and swim with 200 pound turtles. Management is very responsive to any issues that arise. |

Wonderful Location A guest from Silver Spring, MD recommends this property. Stayed for 26 days in January, 2013 This is a great location with superb management. This apartment has a lovely view of the ocean and we can even see whales. This is our 4th stay in this part of town--it has more sunshine and you can walk out of the building and right into a lagoon and swim with 200 pound turtles. Magical!!! |

Wonderful Location A guest from Silver Spring, MD recommends this property. Stayed for 25 days in December, 2012 You can't beat the location, right next to Carlsmith lagoon where you swim with huge turtles. The apt has a great view but it could use a bit of upgrading especially the bathroom--leaky faucets, scarred toilet, worn floor. But the staff was awesome, very helpful and very responsive. Full of aloha. |

Good but not Great A guest from Silver Spring, MD recommends this property. Stayed for 8 days in November, 2012 This is the third time I have rented in this building. Management has been very responsive, exemplary. However, given the price, it needs to be upgraded--painted, new toilet,bathroom floor among other things. |

Property OK Reviewed by: Gina M. does not recommend this property. Stayed for 5 days in November, 2012 It would not take much to make this propery a bit better - a good trip to Target could get some nice new towels and linens. This would help. Also the one little itty bitty piece of bathroom soap etc did not exactly give the feeling of extravagence. Like I said, it was ok. Property Manager Response: Response from Aloha Coast Realty, LLC/Hawaii Holiday Vac. Rentals Thanks for your review! We will take your suggestion and "fluff up" the linens asap. Mahalo, Hawaii Holiday Management |

A View of Paradise! Karen C. from Aptos, CA recommends this property. Stayed for 6 days in August, 2012 This is an older, and a bit tired resort, but so full of the spirit of Old Hawaii, and situated in such an amazingly beautiful location, that the lack of "new and fresh" can be overlooked fairly easily. Unit #306, is in a dynamite spot for optimal view, but could use some renovation. With improvements, it could be a top-notch rental! I do not think it is worth more than $90 per night. In fact, unless certain problems are corrected, price should be reduced further. For example, glass slider and screen door track in living room needs replacement. Bedroom windows are very difficult to open. Nicer, newer amenities need to be provided, such as a "real" ironing board, ventilation fan in the bathroom, dishwasher (or at least a dish drying rack), phone book, "how to" guide for TV, VCR, etc., and a CD player/radio for music. Also, tub area should be re-caulked with white caulking.Overall, we loved our stay, and were very happy with Jessica, and other Hawaii Holiday staff, including John, the delightful maintenance man!Mahalo, and a hui hou!PS: residents of Moanaloa Shores were friendly and helpful. Including Oton, care-taker, I believe.y |

Hit and Miss Condo A guest from Calgary, AB does not recommend this property. Stayed for 5 days in July, 2012 Maunaloa Shores is centrally located in Hilo on an incredibly beautiful ocean lagoon. Shopping, volcano, awesome snorkeling all within one hour. The condo itself is in dire need of general tlc, all the faucets leak, the cleanliness of the kitchen was not good, there were tiny bugs everywhere, the beds were the worst! We bought a foamie for the queen bed, and my husband had to rotate between sleeping on the couch and a hard twin bed.After vacuuming and wiping everything down, the bugs did seem to mostly disappear. The reservations and check in was great, no problems. Although the location of the condo was good, we wouldn't stay at this particular condo again due to general maintenance, cleanliness and bed issues. I am writing a long, honest review hoping it will be helpful to you. We did enjoy our stay overall. |

Perfect for our needs John M. from Omaha, NE recommends this property. Stayed for 5 days in May, 2012 The location was easy to go to other places on the east side of island. The unit was good sized for our family. The view of the park and trees made us feel that we were truly on a tropical island. |

Our Hawaii Get Away Brian M. from Encinitas, CA recommends this property. Stayed for 6 days in May, 2012 We LOVED Maunaloa Shores - a lovely location and quiet, nice tenants. Great pool and close to everything. The unit, however, needed repairs and upgrading but still had a comfortable feel to it. I heard they were going to do some work on the unit after we left so hopefully they did. Otherwise, it was wonderful... |

Maunaloa Shores 306 A guest from Downers Grove, IL does not recommend this property. Stayed for 7 days in March, 2012 The properties location was great. Unfortunately the condo needs work and has been this way for a couple of years as noted by comments of other people in previous years. (ripped curtains, sliding doors bent and don't work properly, sliding screen worhtless) The kitchen worked okay except for tiny ants. Any little crumb brought them out. I would go back to Maunaloa Shores but never 306. The property management should consider not renting this unit until it is brought up to a decent standard. Property Manager Response: Response from Aloha Coast Realty, LLC/Hawaii Holiday Vac. Rentals Thank you for your candid review. We are working on a big renovation of this unit and in the meantime have dropped prices accordingly. Our housekeeping staff does keep it very clean! Mahalo, Hawaii Holiday Management |

The good, the bad and the worn Darryl L. from Fairfax, CA does not recommend this property. Stayed for 5 days in October, 2011 We were coming from staying in the Waikoloa area so Mauna Loa shores suffered by comparison. The location near the ocean was great. The rather shabby appearance of the building took a bit of acclimation. The beds were not good. The drapes in the bedroom were ripped. The screen door to the balcony was holed and off the runner. But having said all that we acclimated and actually enjoyed the last couple days of our 5 night stay. Property Manager Response: Response from Aloha Coast Realty, LLC/Hawaii Holiday Vac. Rentals Thank you for your review! The drapes have all been replaced and the screen door was fuly repaired and upgraded. Mahalo, Hawaii Holiday Management |

Wouldn't recommend Bob H. from New Smyrna Beach, FL does not recommend this property. Stayed for 31 days in July, 2011 Insect infestation, cleanliness not up to par, broken screen door to lanai that was commented on by three previous tenants but still not addressed, master bedroom had old drapes full of holes and room in full sunlight at 5:30am - not good for sleeping. The condo is in a good location with a park adjacent. |

Mauna Loa Shore #306 Ilona M. from Kaneohe, HI recommends this property. Stayed for 4 days in April, 2011 Unit was small; unit has an ANT problem; the living room & lanai furnishings should be upgraded; insufficient amenities (toilet paper, hand paper towels, etc.); need another towel bar in bathroom; repair screen door and entry strip to unit. The condo is conveniently located to H. town. I did enjoy the next door public beach park and the assign parking space.

Doreen H. from Arcata, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 3 days in November, 2010 Kitchen and bathroom were clean but a bit funky (e.g., kitchen cabinets smell musty). House was just OK and the building is pretty ugly, but the view and location were amazing and we'd highly recommend the house to friends for those features. Our family loved swimming in Carlsmith beach park, checking out the turtles, etc. everyday and we liked Hilo a lot--very mellow and down to earth town with great access to a lot of natural beauty. Mahalo to the owners/caretakers of the house for providing a clean, comfortable base for exploration--and most of all to the Hawaiian people for letting us visit and enjoy their beautiful homeland. |

peaceful stay Lynn B. from Poulsbo, WA recommends this property. Stayed for 2 days in October, 2010 I was able to make a last-minute reservation -- 2:00pm for check-in that afternoon! My trip was not for fun, as my dad was at Hilo Medical Center following a catastrophic stroke. The condo was a peaceful and comfortable haven during a very difficult time. I was soothed to sleep by the sound of the waves and coqui.My only suggestion would be to replace the carpet with tile (the carpet is the reason the unit's general condition only rated 3 stars). Carpet in a tropical climate isn't necessary and almost always smells musty (though I must admit that I am not a big fan of carpet in any climate!).Thank you for a peaceful stay during a difficult time. |

the building is scary looking when you drive up. But when you get inside and see out the is better because of the lagoon. If yo Lars P. from San Francisco, CA recommends this property. Stayed for 4 days in September, 2010 It is time to replace the kitchen cabinets and the tile in the shower stall big time. And for a complete kitchen with a wisk and a blender, I was surprised there was no salt... please don't make me buy (expensive Hawaiian) salt for 4 days stay. Other than that we liked the location and being surrounded by locals and were pleased and surprised to find out the lagoon is very special becaause it is spring ewater and ocean water!!!!!Love Hilo!!! |

Stunning view from lanai Audrey S. from Santa Rosa, CA recommends this property. Stayed for 6 days in August, 2010 Really the location couldn't be better. Picture having breakfast of fresh fruit (papayas 6 for $1 at the Farmer's Market) on your lanai overlooking the most beautiful lagoon, palm trees, etc. And the lagoon has sea turtles! We never tied of the view. We really appreciated the WiFi - it allowed us to keep up our travel blog. |

A guest from Surry Hills, New South Whales recommends this property.
Stayed for 3 days in August, 2010 We ended up staying at a different accommodation. We received an upgrade in a lovely house next to a lagoon due to a hiccup on our arrival. The assistance we received definitely helped us leave the shaky start behind us. We had a wonderful time and we thank the management the way their handled the situation. |

Feedback on Mauna Loa Shores 306 Joint Astronomy C. from Hilo, HI does not recommend this property. Stayed for 23 days in November, 2009 The condo was very shabby. It could do with some updating, especially the kitchen. I scratched my leg badly on the chair and the sofa springs were just awful. The utensils etc were clean but didn't feel comfortable to use. The bed linen was well used and again not comfortable to use so I buy my own. The condo had a very bad smell, airless. |

Great view, nice complex Gregg H. from Goleta, CA recommends this property. Stayed for 8 days in June, 2009 Our first impression when entering our condo was the great view out the balcony. The ocean and tidepool shows through a thick jungle foliage than backs up to the property. The pool was warmer and larger than we expected. We spent hours hanging out there and getting to know the residents.The unit was clean and nicely furnished; there was even snorkel and beach gear in the guest closet. The pretty beach park next door had good swimming and snorkeling in the large tide pools and the local beachgoers were friendly.The location was a bit off the beaten path, about 5 minutes from town, with some industrial areas and less desirable beaches down the road, but we had no problems doing the short drive every day. Our master bedroom had the same great view as the living room and we slept well at night, seneraded by the sounds of the ocean and the frogs that inhabit the jungle. We had a great stay and love the sleepier, rainforest environs of Hilo and the nearby Puna coast. We hope to come back again. |

Martine's working stay at Mauna Loa Martine W. from Honolulu, HI recommends this property. Stayed for 30 days in October, 2008 I never did receive a cleaning, tho I was contacted 3 times to set it up, and even suggested a week while I would be out of town. Also, the kitchen floor had not been washed when I moved in - very sticky and grimy...But the rest of the apt was clean and the repairs I requested were done in a timely manner.I highly recommend bug traps for cockroaches, and a trash can with a lid that closes tight - to avoid feeding cockroaches in the kitchen.Also recommend stocking basics like olive oil, vinegar, salt & pepper, mayo, mustard, as these are basics that folks need. |
