Really outstanding condo. Very nicely equipped, facing the ocean so nice frog and ocean noises. Saw a turtle and plenty of fish snorkeling at the beach next door.

Very clean and nicely furnished. Amenities lacking and very tired looking. Way too many cats around, smelly.

Mahalo for your review. If you have the time and inclination, we would love it if you could email more details about the amenities that were lacking? The owners of this condo really do go above and beyond with providing everything that they can think of that would fit in a 1BR condo. They saw your review and were hoping for more details of what they could provide that would have made your stay more enjoyable. Because of Hawai'i's very mild year round climate and absence of land-based predators, there are plenty of animals around - cats, chickens, pigs, goats, donkeys, mongoose, and more ;-) There are no pets allowed in the building and there have certainly never been cats inside of the condo. We hope we can host you again next time you visit Hilo. Warmest Aloha, The Salt Water Hawaii Crew Salt Water Real Estate, Hilo HI

Great Condo with “Blue Hawaii” theme. Nice upgrades you don’t usually find in a rental like towel warmers, bidet, charging stations by the bed. Beautiful view of Carlsmith Beach. Easy walk to the water. No air conditioning, but ceiling fans and ocean breeze kept the place pleasant.

The rental was very clean, well stocked and had a great location. The only downside is the condition of the pool. The lounge chairs and tables need to be updated and there are cats living there; they need to be relocated. I wouldn’t want my children to be scratched by a feral cat.

Mahalo for your review, Mary. Local ordinances recently changed, which allowed the building manager to handle the cat issue.

Great property and location. Condo presents as described. Retractable screened front door was perfect for breezy days. Pool needs a bit of attention. Quite property, clean grounds with tropical flowers bushes and a few papaya fruit trees. The greenery behind the property hid the swimmable/wading beach and ocean view. Close to everything. A bit of loud music and cars. All in all enjoyed our stay!

Good rental close to the beach park

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Nice condo steps to Carlsmith Beach Park, nice for morning walks. We liked that it was close to town. The condo itself had everything we needed. The fan and the heated towel racks in the bathroom scored high points. The towel racks helped towels dry fast. The location is pretty noisy even with quiet hours, people visit the beach park even after hours and their voices tend to carry and the road gets a lot of cruisers. Building and park maintenance starts at 8am, we don't sleep late so that wasn't an issue for us. Would I recommend, that depends on what you want. Quiet, no. Close to town and the beach park, yes.

Loved this place. The inside of the condo felt like a 5 star resort. Towel warmers, bidet, fully stocked kitchen. And the view from the balcony was lovely.
