Kona Reef, beautiful one-bedroom, direct oceanfront condominium, on world-famous Alii Drive. Our condo is 23 feet from the ocean and offers spectacular sunsets. Watch the surfers and the dolphins from the lanai.

Our condo, D-16, is highly rated by previous guests, we are responsible owners who take our guest's comfort and satisfaction seriously.

Everything is happening right in front of you here. This is one of the best surfing spots on the island, the break is just in front of the condo. Dolphins, turtles, ships, birds, and when you prefer to read a book and just relax, this is also the most tranquil place to be. Relax and listen to the ocean waves, and enjoy perfect weather and beautiful sunsets.

We had a great vacation. The condo was clean, had everything we could possibly need, and the location was great. We would return to this property again and again. The property owner was just great. Everything was just as she said it would be, easy entry, and clear instructions regarding the property. Great time…

Great condo on the second floor with the sound of the waves all day. Great view for the sunset. The whole entire property was nice and clean. Pool area was excellent.

Kona Reef

As you can see, the sunsets from the lanai are amazing. Stephanie's condo fit the bill for our vacation. Bed was super comfy, kitchen adequately supplied. Didnt even turn on the television and only used the AC once. Every room was spotless. My husband and i were the only guests but we had friends staying in two other condos. Needless to say, we spent alot of time in the pool and BBQ area. Kona Reef is perfect for that!

Week in paradise

The view was breathtaking. Kona never disappoints. The location was key. Such a short walk to/from Huggos. We would walk over for dinner/drinks. Pictures and description were accurate. AC worked great during the day when it got hot then we left the door open so we could hear the ocean when we slept. Highly recommend!
