About this property
Great Deals at the Kona Reef! Footsteps from Old Kona Town. See our Video Tour.
This is one of the best deals at the Kona Reef: a clean, comfortable and recently-renovated island-style 1BR, with a great view of the big, beautiful Pacific Ocean. It’s an oceanfront view without the oceanfront price. And it it is air conditioned throughout. There are only a few units that have total air conditioning, the rest just have a wall air conditioner in the living room. For your stay in paradise, don't you want to be cool and comfortable?
To see exactly what we’re talking about, take a complete video tour of this unit by going to the Video Tour. From the main image, click the screen or arrow to the left of the main picture.
This is just one example of several excellent Kona Reef condos we own or represent, in all varieties and prices …including two bedroom and oceanfront units. If one is reserved for the dates you need, one of our others is probably available.
Of the 130 units at the Kona Reef, less than a dozen have air conditioning throughout the unit. Others have a wall AC unit in the living room, but this condo has AC for the entire unit including the bedroom. While it is cooler at night, the added benefit of a bedroom that is air conditioned can be very important on hot evenings.
This unit as well as our other condos are clean, comfortable, modern, recently remodeled throughout and completely suitable for a stay from just a few days to a month or more, with full kitchens equipped with full size appliances and all cookware and dining utensils; in-unit washer-dryers; king size beds; air conditioning as well as ceiling fans; covered lanais; large TVs with DVD players and cable, and free high speed DSL Internet with Wi-Fi and FREE long distance calling throughout Hawaii, US mainland and Canada.
The oceanfront Kona Reef Resort is without a doubt the most convenient location in Kailua-Kona; just two blocks to town, and a wonderful resort for a vacation. You can easily walk to the shops or restaurants, so you do not need to drive every time you want to go to town. Plus the resort is just 30 feet from the water with a beautiful ocean-side pool and spa; large, outdoor gas grills in the adjacent pool cabana, and a nice sandy beach just a few steps away where you can swim or just relax. It’s real convenience and value.
By representing multiple condos at the Kona Reef, if one is occupied, one of the others we own or manage may be available. We have summer specials and our availability calendars are always up to date. Just click on the 'view all our other rentals' link below.
You can reserve any condo with the 'Book It' button for immediate reservations and secure payments. You can also book by email or phone or get additional information by calling us from 9 AM to 7 PM California time. We can probably answer any of your questions, and are more than happy to do so.
After traveling thousands of miles to get to your dream vacation, the last thing you want is disappointment in your lodging. We offer up-to-date information on all our condos, and make sure they are consistent, and well maintained. That means total peace of mind that you will have a wonderful stay in a fully equipped upgraded condo. We look forward to having you stay with us -and your return business- so we make sure you are completely satisfied.
When you compare the convenience of the Kona Reef to other complexes we are sure you will choose the Kona Reef for this stay, and your return for future stays.

The condo was exactly as described, a little dated but had all the amenities we needed. This condo is located in a great location close to downtown and easy walk to many shops, bars and restaurants. The grounds are very well maintained, the pool area is fabulous. Spent several morning in the deck drinking coffee and watching whales out in the ocean.

Lovely lanai/location. Parking convenient. Handy washer/dryer in unit. But unit seriously needs updating and has seen better days. Drape over head board very old/dirty. Sofa past it's prime and could use replacing. Towels very thin and see thru.

This location is wonderful. This room; not-so-much. It’s VERY outdated and parts of it are really dirty. We didn’t run the a/c because I had an allergic reaction every time we turned it on. The furniture was filthy and the outdoor table and chairs are literally falling apart. There are plenty of dishes for eating and cooking.

Stay was good after comparing it to our past Hawaiian trips
The ocean view was good as advertised, and the property was kept up well and clean.

Excellent location and facilities onsite. Beautiful view. Well stocked with necessities.
Kona reef is a small older condo but very well taken care of and maintained. The pool area is nice and has a family feel. The ocean and beach are steps away. Old town Kona is a short walk as well though on a busy road.
Clean, quiet and the perfect place for viewing a beautiful sunset right from the lanai. Great pool, great hot tub and excellent grilling area with family or friends.
Great place just to lay your head if you’re not there as well. We explored everyday from morning till dinner. Highly recommend!
Condo with a view of the ocean and located walking distance to everything in Kona. Two AC units were great. Provided beach chairs and towels. Small beach next door was perfect when we didn’t want to go far. I would stay here again.
The property was great. We assumed that because there was elevators that there was wheelchair access. Watching and hearing the waves, whales, boats, surfers from our deck was wonderful. Close to the center of everything was wonderful. In all we enjoyed our visit very much
Nice location within walking distance to shops and beaches!
Nice stay at this very quiet condo in a great location! Found the lagoon nearby a wonderful place to swim and snorkel.
The fridge was quite old with the door seal having a gap, which wouldn’t be good for the appliance. Also worth noting is a bit of a stale smell in the living room area.
Loved our stay in this condo.excellent location, Nice view, great A/C , well stocked kitchen, full size laundry and plenty of parking. Unit is a little dated but not paying for Ritz Carlton and we enjoyed every minute. Nice things like beach umbrellas, some snorkeling gear, some spices already in cabinet (from previous vacationers I assume) really appreciated. The host was wonderful, the unit ready on time , he left a nice welcome gift along with a card wishing us happy anniversary. I will stay here again when visiting big island
This was our 2nd time staying at the Kona Reef and we enjoyed this condo. It’s a corner unit close to the pool, beach and parking structure and gets a lot of natural light. There is a nice ocean view from the lanai and had perfect views of the sunset. The bed was comfy and the pull out couch worked well for our son. There is AC in both the living room and bedroom but we barely needed it. The kitchen was well stocked and had plenty of towels and umbrellas and chairs for the beach. It’s also a short walk to town. The only complaint we had is the pool was very murky the first few days but we contacted Ken and it was much better the rest of the week. Ken is very responsive and if we would definitely come back to this condo.
Comfortable Accommodations in a Convenient Location
This Kona Reef apartment was a great choice for our stay. It was within walking distance of town; the pool and courtyard area were well-maintained and quiet at night. The BBQs were cleaned daily. Our unit had 2 ACs, which would be great during warmer weather. The unit itself is a bit dated and worn, but it was clean and comfortable. All early communication was good, but upon arrival and struggling a bit with the keypad entry (low lighting), I called the manager, and he was quite rude. My family even heard him speaking to me through the phone and were shocked by how he was addressing the problem. I was polite and didn't bother him again. Really, that is my only complaint. There is good parking here as well and I would return.
Room was a bit musty smelling when we got there but didn't last long. The only real complaint we had was the toilet paper. It was so thin you could see through it! Other than that fabulous experience.
Short 5 days stay…properly is on the water with very little beach manly lava …walking distance to town…free parking…nice pool area…friendly owners and guests…
Will be back in the future…
Everything about this place was easy. We had no problems with anything,check in ,comfort, location, never needed to bother the owner. Would definitely come back and stay here
Great place, ocean view. Steps away from the beach. Place was comfortable. Loved my stay. I even extended a day. Ken is a fabulous host.

The condo met our needs as place to stay. The condition of the Condo was not new. Rusty fixtures, older appliances, the bedroom configuration was strange but we made it work,
Great location. Unit could stand a little touch up. New paint, new refrigerator and new detailing. We’ve been staying at Kona Reef for >thirty years. Love being able to walk to farmers market, restaurants and St. Michael’s. Hope to be back next year.
Great location, within walking distance of many restaurants, bars and shopping. The condo itself is old and out dated, the bed was ok but the couch was blown out and the kitchen is rough. There is everything you need for your stay even a couple beach chairs and umbrellas along with washer dryer (very loud). This is a good value if you care more about location then quality.
