Enjoy the amazing location of Hale Honu, unit 108 at Maunaloa Shores in Hilo's Keaukaha beach park area! Walk a few feet to the famous Carlsmith Beach Park where you can swim in the clear Pacific ocean. Our condo is named for the sea turtles (called 'honu' in Hawaiian) that frequent our beach. This unit is on the first floor above the lobby is accessed through the building's secure elevators. You'll have views of the swimming pool below and glimpses of the ocean beyond. The surrounding area is lush and green with lovely jungle views from the lanai.
Hale Honu has two bedrooms and one bathroom and sleeps and sleeps up to four guests. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking appliances, range, oven, a full sized refrigerator, dishwasher and a full set of dishes etc. Pick up local seafood and produce from one of Hilo's fresh food markets. Eat at our dining table for four or on the covered condo lanai. Both bedrooms offer a closet and a dresser for clothes storage. The oceanside bedroom has a king sized bed. The second bedroom has a queen sized bed. The bathroom is between the two bedrooms and has a full bathtub with shower, toilet and one sink.
Visit Hilo, Hawaii which still exudes the original charm of 'old Hawai'i' with lush jungle landscapes, ocean parks for relaxing in the Pacific Ocean, colorful farmer's markets with loads of tropical fruits, and enough great restaurants and quaint shops to fill several weeks of exploring. Don't forget to drive to Volcanoes National Park about 45 minutes by car to experience the wonders of an active Volcano. And drive up the Hamakua Historic Coastal Corridor to view dashing waterfalls and plantation era villages. This is where Hawai'i lives!

Reviewer Comments:
This unit was in a great location from Hilo and we loved being right next to the ocean. However, we arrived to find the room had the distinct smell of mold. We found mold on the curtains and in the picture frames which made us somewhat wary. Its clear that this is an older condo and could definitely use some renovation. Carpets in Hilo seems like a bad idea with all the moisture.

Reviewer Comments:
The property was an ideal distance from town and everything Hilo has to offer. However, there is no air conditioning in the unit (although common in Hilo, it would have been nice to know ahead of time through the listing). As a result, you have to open the windows to cool the unit. The unit is next to a busy road that is incredibly loud. If you want to turn on a fan at night instead of open a window, you can't because the fan is connected to a light that cannot turn off. Also do not try to contact the management company because they will not respond. Overall, the place felt very safe and close to a great snorkeling location, but this is not a great place for sleeping.

The condo had everything needed and was beautifully decorated. We loved the location next to Carlsmith beach.
