Also subject to our standard contract provisions.

Starting Jan 1, 2022 our County has added an additional 3% tax due to the rising costs associated with keeping our County functioning properly.  As you know, this has been a stressful fee year for our County due to the lost revenue from the Volcano and now the Pandemic, so our County needs this to survive and provide needed services.  Our contract states that the tax is based in the taxes when your visit actually comes, so if you are arriving after Jan 1,  We are adding this additional 3% on your rent.  Mahalo for your understanding.

The view!
This vacation rental is a gem. It was clean, well stocked and possibly the best view on the island. Our favorite thing to do was walk next door to Carlsmith Beach Park and hang out in the water. We saw sea turtles there several times. If I ever go back to the big island I would want to stay here again.

Perfect location for a quiet stay at Hilo
I am going to start with the positives first. The location is perfect for quiet evenings after a day of sightseeing around the island. The neighborhood is not touristy and busy like Kona. The condo is about 40 minutes from Volcanoes National Park. The condo has a beautiful view of Carlsmith Beach Park from the balcony and a very short walk to the water. There are ladders to the water and the water was shallow. We were able to see schools of fish and several turtles in the water at dusk. The unit itself was very comfortable and inviting. The unit had everything we needed for a family stay with all kitchen gadgets, sundry items (sunblock, beach towels, sewing kit, umbrellas), and sports equipment (pool noodles, snorkels, fins, bodyboards, etc.). We saved some money by not having to rent snorkeling equipment, buying umbrellas, and by making some meals at home. The building also has a pool for swimming laps. The Seaside Restaurant across the street served some pretty good seafood. Terry (the property manager) responded quickly to inquiries and had a binder at the entry way with all sorts of useful information and recommendations. I only had two items that were minor issues. One needs to sign a rental agreement for a stay in the unit and the elevator keys were a bit sticky and took a few minutes of trying to make them work. However, if one doesn’t mind either of those things, the stay is well worth it. I would stay here again if I come back to Hilo.

Great Vacation
Had an amazing time! The property is clean, beautiful and offers access to the beach park next door (but there are several right down the road if you like to snorkel) Loved being able to go without having to pack up and find parking! Quiet building with the most friendly residents. The property manager was responsive and very helpful. The property is close to shopping and dining. The local farmers market was wonderful! Loved our visit and would stay again!

Fabulous condo
We absolutely loved the condo and the location! The condo is beautiful, clean, comfortable and very well equipped. The views are fantastic towards the lagoon and the ocean beyond as well as the lush vegetation that surrounds Carlsmith Beach Park. The complex is well maintained and quiet. The lagoon is right in front of the building and was wonderful for swimming and snorkelling. Regularly met a couple of turtles that came in to feast around the lava rocks. We took walks down to Richardson Beach Park and along Nene Road nearby. Hilo and area is full of sights and attractions, historical and cultural relevance, opportunities to see endemic birds and other wild life. We`ve spent time in Kona several times but this place is definitely more authentic, more multicultural, less touristy, less crowded and has so much to offer. The only regret is we had only two weeks - planning to stay longer the next time!

Perfect view to wake up to!
We arrived really late after delays with flights but detailed instructions made it easy to find the keys and get in. It was too dark to see much then, but waking up at sunrise to that gorgeous view was worth the wait! It was a little warm in the afternoons after being out exploring, but cooled down quickly with the doors/windows open. We were there during spring break so there were young people at the park after dark a couple nights after closing time - with the open windows the noise really carries making it hard to get to sleep but the bed was really comfortable and we slept well once the noise died down. Our first morning we discovered the coffee carafe was broken so we ventured out and ended up finding our favorite coffee shop on the island (the SS) which we returned to many times during our stay! We found another coffee maker in the cabinets, but nothing we made compared to their delicious coffee! We loved the detailed instructions and helpful hints for things to do/see in the area!! We absolutely loved our stay and would love to return one day!

Great place - beautiful view - right on the ocean
Everything is just like the pictures. The kitchen is very well equipped, everything you might need. There is a great farmers market near by for fresh produce. It isn't far to stores or restaurants. The water out front is very clear and every time we went in we saw sea turtles. I would recommend good sturdy water shoes for the entire island beaches -it makes it easier to walk across the lava. This location has easy access to everything on the Hilo side. I would recommend a car. The owner not only had great communication they also had lots of great tips on things to do and places to eat. The only negative I have is the pool isn't great. However, with the beautiful ocean right there I don't know why you would care about the pool. I would strongly recommend this as a great place to stay.

Location. Location. Location.
If staying on Hilo side of Big Island, this is a great location. Great snorkeling with turtles in the “back yard” (beach next door). Many “extras” included: beach chairs, snorkel gear, well stocked kitchen supplies, Even umbrellas!! With all the above, still a stand out to mention is the property management company running this VRBO. Terry and Amber were GREAT. Numerous emails explaining the condo, check in process, and things to do/sites to see. Especially with the every changing volcano eruption. They are both well versed regarding Hawaii and had great suggestions. I would stay here again! That is best review statement I can say.
