Maluhia Kahakai - Swim and Snorkel with Turtles

Welcome to Maluhia Kahakai - Your Awesome Vacation Rental at the Mauna Loa Shores Condominiums in Hilo, HI!

This recently renovated ground floor, garden view 2 bedroom, 1 bath condo in Hilo is beachfront next to Carlsmith Beach Park where you can swim and snorkel all day every day and get up close to the sea turtles! Your home-away-from-home has everything you need for the perfect getaway or extended vacation. The living room is the perfect place to relax after a long day sight-seeing around the Big Island, with a cable TV, DVD, a DVD library, lots of books and games, and of course cable and unlimited high-speed internet. The kitchen is well-equipped with high-end stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher, and ideal for making those scrumptious island meals using all the goodies you picked up at the Hilo Farmer's Market. Eat inside at the dining table, or outside on the lanai and let those island breezes take you away. Each bedroom has a comfortable queen bed. The remodeled bathroom is gorgeous. The laundry facility can be located at the end of the corridor. There are complimentary quarters in the jar in the kitchen.

visit with family

We swam every morning with fish and turtles. Our room was great other than our view was the parking lot. The road by the condo can be very noisy and the roosters start in about 4:30 AM. Othan, the maintenance person was so helpful and kind. One of our keys that ran the elevator and other doors did not work very well. There's a great library in the lobby. We've stayed here many times.

Amazing Location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Enjoyed a relaxing week at this great condo. If you enjoy snorkeling, this is your spot. Wake up, walk outside, snorkel or swim. Unit was updated, clean, and sufficiently supplied. The only drawback was that the patio faces the parking lot (with greenery) and not the ocean. Rental price more than fair though and we did not spend much time inside.

Nice layout, comfortable, good value

This is a clean, comfortable property with a nice open kitchen area. We snorkeled every day at the park next door, enjoyed the restaurant across the street, and appreciated that both beds were the same quality and size.
