You'll have the entire condo to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Kona Reef Beachfront / Walk to Town / Air Con / WiFi / Top Floor / Free Parking
SO YOU KNOW: There will be construction at Kona Reef throughout 2026. It's really not that bad. Please keep reading.
THE GOOD NEWS: Construction in B-Bldg where my unit (#B34) is located is finished.
MOSTLY QUIET: B-34 faces the beach and you should hear more wave action than construction from the lanai.
QUIET DAYS: The schedule includes blocks of time for weekday inspections, etc, which will be quiet days.
If you tend to be out and about weekdays – beach, sight-seeing, farm tours, golf, scuba – you you'll hardly notice the construction. And the property will be quiet and peaceful evenings after 4:30pm and weekends for you to enjoy the pool, hot tub, pavilion.
So if you're not discouraged, prices now reflect 10% discount! If you have any questions about construction, send me an inquiry.
You're gonna love your Kona Reef Beachfront getaway. Imagine the big smile on your face when you walk through the door of this lovely renovated, top-floor, jewel of a condo... a place you get to call your Kailua-Kona "home" away from home.
What's not to love? You can enjoy the "local-style" ambience and convenience of the in-town walk-to-everything location, while being in an oceanfront complex with a great ocean view. The public beach right next door is super convenient for swimming, snorkeling and surfing. From sunbathers to yoga classes, to picnics and people-watching, the view from your top-floor lanai provides a different beach scene every day.
You'll be charmed by the beachy, eclectic, tropical decor -- a blend of retro "Hawaiiana" with a touch of understated whimsy. Enjoy the top-quality finishes, selected to convey a simple warmth as well as durability. Split-system Air Conditioning installed Dec. 2020 keeps both living room and bedroom cool. The expanded kitchen features bamboo cabinets, white "cloud-like" quartz countertop, art glass backsplash, and shell mosaic pendant lighting. The bathroom was inspired by the colors of sand and sea, and has a custom walk-in shower that features a rain head, bamboo glass panel and handy corner seat. Sturdy bamboo-pattern vinyl flooring ties everything together to complete the natural ambience. Your top-floor lanai is the perfect place to enjoy a relaxing breakfast, or watch the waves and beach activities. You might be inspired to head on down to the beach, where you can picnic, wade, swim, snorkel or maybe even join a yoga class. The condo comes equipped with back-pack style beach chairs, boogie boards, snorkel gear, beach towels and more for your convenience.
You will also enjoy the convenience of: o FREE password-protected, high speed WIFI signal o Digital Cable TV package o In-unit front-loading washer and dryer o Elevator access from parking garage to the patio level. (You have to walk several paces from the elevator, then up 8 stairs to the condo level. If you require "no stairs", unfortunately, my condo is not a good choice for you).
But as much as you will enjoy the amenities of the condo, (... did I mention the super-comfy, firm memory-foam, gel-top king-size mattress?...) you didn't come all the way to Kona to stay indoors! There is so much to do and see. You'll want to spend some of your time chillin' at the oceanfront swimming pool. We have one of the nicest pool/recreation areas in town--with plenty of lounge chairs, whirlpool spa, barbecues and shady pavilion.
Kona Reef has one of the most convenient locations on the Kona Coast, and is just a short walk to shopping, restaurants, bars and entertainment.
It is a 5 to 10 minute walk to: o Honl’s Beach (right next door!) o Luau at the Royal Kona Resort o Bars and restaurants o Shopping o Bicycles for rent o Coffee Shops And just a few more minutes to: o Farmer’s Market o Art Galleries o Library o More shops and restaurants o Churches o Hulihee Palace
If you are the adventurous type, you will want to do some sight-seeing and exploring. There is so much to choose from: o Snorkeling o SCUBA o Golf o Zip Line o Hiking o Deep Sea Fishing o Helicopter Tours o Sailing o Stand Up Paddle (SUP) o Surfing o Parasailing o Pu'u Honua (City of Refuge) National Park o Waterfalls o Botanical Gardens o Luau o Coffee Tasting o Farm Tours (Coffee, Chocolate, Vanilla...YUM!) o and more!
Whatever your preference, the Big Island offers plenty of fun in the sun, and you couldn't pick a better home base than this lovely top floor condo at Kona Reef.
This is more than a hotel room… it's my downtown oceanfront getaway, and I like nothing better than staying at the unit when it is not booked. My home is your home, and I love it when guests tell me a little about themselves when making a booking request.
Thanks for looking and thanks for booking!
About the Air Conditioning: 2-unit split system for your creature comfort! The living room and the bedroom each have their own wall A/C unit. There are also ceiling fans and standing fans if you prefer to experience the ambient temperatures. It's all about what you're used to. ALSO: Due to the high cost of electricity in Hawaii, when you leave the apartment for extended periods of time, turning off the AC is greatly appreciated.

Another excellent stay at Kona Reef. Beautiful view of the beach/ocean from lanai, totally relaxing. Condo was clean and well stocked with amenities, including beach chairs, umbrella, snorkel gear, etc. As with prior experience, the host was extremely responsive to requests. Already looking forward to booking the next trip!
Very clean condo in a nice location with view of the beach on the south end of Honl beach. Nice, clean pool just a few yards from the accessible beach. Restaurants and shops within a 10-15 min walk.
Property was exactly as described!! Everything was perfect! So clean (immaculate) and it had everything and anything you would need with a lot of special little touches. Location was perfect! I wish I could have stayed longer.
Beautiful condo with a beautiful view overlooking the ocean. Enjoyed the friendly and respectful neighbors. Surprisingly quiet for such a short walk to downtown. Our host is super responsive, friendly, and helpful. Could not have asked for better!
We had an amazing place to stay. The location of our condo was ideal for all the various beaches and other sites we visited. The weather was as perfect as you could want. A fabulous stay!
The condo was perfect for our short visit to Kona. Lanai with a view of the ocean, full size stackable washer & dryer, bathroom products, plenty of towels, everything you need is provided. Easy walk to town & restaurants. Very good communication with owner. Highly recommend this property.
B34 was so thoughtfully equipped! Plenty of dishes so we only ran the dishwasher once through the week. All paper products, trash bags, laundry detergent, soap, etc was provided and we were specifically asked to request more if needed! Marni was super easy to work with too. One restaurant to add to your list is Umekes near Kona Brewing Co (also a fun place!). The fresh ahi at Umekes was amazing!
The condo was just as advertised. Communication, check in and check out was all very smooth and easy. Location was right next to the beach and great for walking to restaurants and shops. We would stay here again!
This place was wonderful! Exactly as described. Ultra clean, quiet. A/C in both living and bedroom. Well equipped kitchen. Washing machine and dryer. All of the essentials plus more. Easy parking. Clean pool. We walked to dinner every night. Do not hesitate to book this beautiful beachfront condo. Highly recommend! Thank you Marni!
Upon our arrival to the big island, we stayed at this property for 2 nights before attending a wedding and boarding a cruise. It was a perfect transition place with a gorgeous view and access to pool,beach and town. Great welcome to Kona
This property is the perfect location for a paradise vacation. Easy access to town, the marina and beaches. Our host, Marni, is excellent to work with. I highly recommended this property!!
Third stay in this place and it does not disappoint
This is the third year my boyfriend and I have stayed in this place and it has been wonderful every year and this year was no different.The location is perfect, close enough to walk downtown and far enough to be quiet. Comes with everything you need for a comfortable stay.
We had a wonderful stay! Property was very clean with modern updates and I’ve view of the beach and ocean beyond. Great walkability to the Village. Marni was incredibly responsive to our questions. We’d definitely stay here again. Thanks Marni!
The unit is modern, comfortable and has everything you need for a great vacation. It overlooks a small sandy beach and the sound of the surf can be heard day and night. We both enjoyed our stay there.
