Mauna Loa Shores
A great place to stay while we were paddling at the World Sprints at Bayfront Park. Not walking distance but with free buses and Uber, we did well. The ocean swimming and snorkeling right out back was excellent.

Great location! Keypad to enter and lock condo. Super challenging.
We loved our stay. It was clean and. Great location. Details for check in were great. It would have been nice to have at least salt and pepper already there. Further, the keypad to enter the property took several tries to make it work. Not fun. Low battery? This needs to be addressed ASAP. Otherwise. Loved it. Thanks!

What’s advertised is not what you get.
Unit is not clean, fridge was dead, they had a small bar fridge so obv they knew it wasn’t working. Horrible check-in as we had gone to Costco. VACASA property management really hard to get a hold of. Had to push to get a working fridge. Unit was not clean. Sand on the counters in the bathroom. Beach chairs were old. No cooler so we had to buy one. Absolutely no stock of cooking oils (usually there is some). Unit has a bad smell so you have to keep windows open all the time.

Jon R., OXNARD

No repeat
Not as comfortable as other units we've stayed in at the same address. Map of parking stall helpful, in rain and dark. Double check entry code- both didn’t work. Utensils greasy, washed everything we used 1st. Patio slider needs service. Master B/R blinds not acceptable. No instructions for TV. Fridge doesn't work. Replacement mini fridge leaks. Extra kitchen towels helpful. Location great if you want peace & quiet, right on water. We'll return again, but not to this unit. Property Mgt needs to upgrade unit owner's responsibility to his guests.

February get away!
Really enjoyed Emerald Key 203! Sat on the balcony and watched the dolfins while we drank our coffee and took photos of great sunrises and sunsets!! We met super nice people and enjoyed how quiet it was. We would rent this condo again and again!!! We did a lot of cooking and would suggest some new frying pans.

Good location by a swimming beach and tidepools.
This was a perfect base for our week-long stay in Hilo. Was clean and everything worked in the unit. We enjoyed looking down at the ocean tide pools and "jungle" from our deck and windows. The pool was clean and fun for our 7-year-old daughter. We didn't get much communication from the management company until a couple days prior to our arrival, but then there was a flury of info from them.

Great family beach next door at the park
Access to this area is through an industrial park. The area then becomes a local neighborhood and several wonderful park beaches. The locals set up canopies, prepare food, and really enjoy the beaches. It is a wonderful family atmosphere.

Well equipped kitchen, great location, and secure. Living room furniture and bed needs upgraded. No pillows for the second bedroom. Folks upstairs and a child that they let run day and night. Very annoying. Emailed management and never heard from them, disappointing.

Location, location, location!
This is smallish two bedroom condo in a fantastic location just outside of downtown Hilo. Right next to a great swimming lagoon and beach park. Nice views of the ocean as well. Could not of asked for anything better for the two nights we spent in Hilo. It’s not very big, but it works, would book again. The only issue is trying to find your key’s lockbox amongst all the other lockboxes. There has to be a better way!
