About this property
Kona Reef Condo on Beach with Ocean View, Wifi, King bed & Elevator
Our fabulous condo at the Kona Reef overlooks Honl's Beach Park and the beautiful turquoise blues and greens of the crystal clear ocean. From the 3rd floor lanai complete with ceiling fan, you have a fantastic palm-dotted view of the sand and the surf. You can watch the surfers and boogie boarders perform in the waves or spot an occasional sea turtle near the shore. In the winter, you may even spot some whales breeching offshore.
Inside, the condo has been decorated with the natural elements of the island. Bamboo walls and tropical colors add to the ambiance of this unique spot on the Big Island and remind you of the paradise that awaits you outside. The bedroom comes complete with a romantic king-size bed. The living room has a sofa-sleeper for extra guests. The full kitchen is complete with all of the amenities of home. We have spared no expense to make sure that you temporary home in paradise is one that you will want to return to year after year.
The condo also has an inviting ocean-front pool and hot tub. If you want to bar-b-que, there is an very nice outdoor area with a fantastic ocean-sunset view for evening cook-outs. The building also features an elevator, but there will be at least 5 steps from the parking area or elevator to get to the condo.
There are so many things to do on the Big Island and the Kona Reef is located within walking distance to many attractions including lots shops and restaurants. You can choose between water activities such as swimming, snorkeling, scuba diving, surfing, and boogie boarding. You can kayak, fish, or just take a walk along the beach and explore the tidal pools. If you are more adventurous, you can try parasailing or take a look at the volcano by helicopter or plane. There is also golf, dinner cruises and of course, just sitting on the beach with a good book.
Our condo is a perfect place to enjoy all that the activities that the Big Island has to offer.

This was such a wonderful home for our vacation and exploration of Big Island. Was a shirt drive to scuba docks, snorkeling beaches, etc and then a short walk into town for delicious food and drinks!The community of residents are nice, clean, and friendly if your enjoying the pool or beach. Thanks for hosting us!
Kathy’s condo was cool, comfy and clean and provided my daughter and I everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The pool and spa located on the beach were absolutely wonderful! The folks that we met at the resort were all friendly and Kathy was extremely accommodating! Great stay!
We had a great time staying in this lovely condo. Lanai opens to a nice beach view from where you’ll hear the gentle waves. Everything was nice and tidy, well stocked and prepared.
Communication was a breeze too. We loved every part of our stay!
If watching the big waves and walking to favorite spots is your jam, this condo is for you. We were perfectly comfortable here, with its classy furnishings and comfy bed. The deck was a favorite spot for hanging out watching the surfers. If you want socializing, the pool and deck area seemed to be the spot for condo residents to gather at sunset. Owner Kathy was available night or day to answer questions. Highly recommend this rental .
Thank you! We enjoyed the beach chairs, beach towels, noodles. Beach view was lovely. Great place to stay. The host is responsive and helpful. We would come back.
We had a wonderful stay at this beachfront condo. It’s well stocked with everything you need for cooking and for beach trips. The ocean view from the deck is lovely and we watched sunset most nights from the pool area and then walked to dinner in town. You can swim at the beach next door which is an added bonus. Kathy was prompt in communication with us and helped right away when we couldn’t get into the unit after arrival. Highly recommend!!
Property was in great shape 👌 when we arrived. Walking distance to town. View was AWSOME!! Beach was swimable.🏊♂️ Just had to watch water entry.
HAD A GREAT TIME THERE!!!!! 🙂
We had an amazing stay at Kathy’s place in Kona Reef. The house is well taken care of and extremely well equipped - the beach equipment was our particular fave.
The location is absolutely perfect and we spent many hours just sitting on the balcony watching whales jump in the ocean.
Kathy was an extremely responsive and accommodating host. I’d recommend anyone book this place and we’ll definitely be back!
The Honl’s Beach next door was a real plus! You can see it from the lanai and they had “drop in” yoga there every morning at 8 am. Kathy has beach chairs for your use. The pool and hot tub were great also as I did my laps every day. Being able to walk around Kailua Kona was a plus for shopping and eating and I would definitely recommend Lava-Java and the historic Kona Inn for dinner! Kathy was very accommodating and easy to communicate with!
Beautiful location off smaller beach, fun to watch surfers and visitors every morning. Smaller set up inside condo but perfect for a couple. Bed was comfortable but windows above bed had lights that were pretty bright at night. We ended up not having toilet paper or paper towels stoked so had to grab ourselves from the store. Close walking distance to several shopping area’s and restaurants. Overall we had a good stay.
Kathy’s condo was ideal for our vacation. I have to agree with other reviews that blackout blinds in the bedroom would be great, as the outside lights do light up the room. That aside, this is the best place in the area. It’s close enough for an easy walk to restaurants, and it’s right on a fun little beach. I went from standing in the waves to swimming in the pool to totally relaxing in the hot tub. We had a lot of active days, and we usually chose easy prep/deli foods for dinner as sitting on our lanai listening to the waves was the perfect way to spend our evenings. The condo was super clean when we arrived; the furniture is all very comfortable, and everything we needed to spend time at the beach was available (chairs, coolers, snorkeling gear, towels.) The pool/bbq/common area is spacious and well-kept. I had a few questions in my planning and while we were there, and Kathy always responded promptly. If we ever return to the Big Island, we’ll definitely stay here. Thanks Kathy!
This unit overlooks a small but very popular beach, great to sip coffee in the morning and watch body boarders and surfers, people watch, then since is just on the south end of Kialua-Kona easy to walk all over town and hit restaurants, water activities. One afternoon we watched a pod of spinner dolphins for about 15 minutes. The sunsets were great and sometimes you can see the “green flash” that occurs in tropical areas just as the sun goes down. The owner responded within a couple of minutes to our few questions. The unit here has the best view with beach access of any place in Kialua-Kona. Other larger hotels look down on rocky surf but no good way to dip your toes in the ocean.
Pros:
Kathy’s property is well represented in her listing. The place was very clean and nicely maintained. We were very comfortable here. Kathy is very responsive and always willing to go the extra mile for your requests. The pool area is clean and comfortable with a nice view. You have the choice of sitting in the pool area or out front on the oceanfront. A lot of good conversations were had there. It’s an easy wall to the downtown
Cons:
The street noise can be heard from the unit. The walkway is right behind the bedroom and can be disturbing, although most of the guests were fairly quiet it could be a problem if you have disrespectful renters.
Great location! Easy walk to Huggo's and beyond. Loved sitting on the lanai watching the waves and surfers. The pool and spa were nice. Short walk from parking to unit. The condo had everything we needed!
Wonderful host very comfortable condo would definitely stay here again. Looking forward to booking a stay on our next trip to Hawaii on her other properties. She’s definitely an angel in disguise. Thanks for everything you’ve done for our family.
