About this property
Oceanview 1BR- Top Floor Elevator access - see video tour -WiFi and free calling
This is a top floor oceanview unit with an excellent ocean view and overlooks the pool area. It is one of many of the nicer units we own or manage, including two bedroom ocean front units, 1 bedroom ocean front units, and 1 bedroom ocean view units. It is fully equipped for a comfortable stay of several days to a month or more. Be sure to look at the video tour. The link to the video is the arrow or partial image to the left of the main picture above. The video gives a complete tour, and shows how nice this condo is. If this one is not available for the dates you need, one of our others probably is,since we have 12 one bedroom ocean view units, 6 one bedroom ocean front units, and 4 two bedroom ocean front units available, all listed on VRBO.
The Kona Reef is only 1 1/2 blocks to town, so you don't have to drive every time you want to go to a restaurant or shop. It is the ideal location in Kona, and moderately priced to fit your budget.
The kitchen is fully equipped with everything for a comfortable stay, and has all the appliances and small appliances you could want.
The bedroom is roomy, as is the living and dining area. There is a washer and dryer right in the unit. Free long distance to the US mainland and Canada is included, and free WiFi is also provided.
We are happy to help you with any questions. Feel free to contact us. We look forward to your stay.

View was outstanding. Sliding glass door was in horrible condition. There was a spray can of garage door lubricant on the table next to it. Had to spray the tracks every day to use the door. Air conditioning was really loud and next to the TV. Had to shut it down to watch TV or enjoy the patio. Paint and popcorn ceiling was peeling off in front of the air conditioner. Lots of black on ceiling that looked like mold. Would not want to stay there again.
It was very well- equipped and clean. Quite comfortable. But the sliding glass door was very heavy and the lock was broken. The ac unit worked well but was very noisy
What a fabulous place and spectacular views. Had everything we needed for our stay. Had all amenities from toiletries, dishes, cookware (altho we didn’t cook). Bed was comfortable. Had everything we needed for the pool and beach: towels, chairs, snorkel equipment cooler tho we had our own. Pool area was great, clean and well maintained. The complex was quiet. Location was great- walking distance to Kailua Kona downtown all shops and restaurants and centrally located for all of our day trips. There was ample parking: surface or garage. Our host was prompt in answering a few questions before we got there. Just the Perfect size for 2, altho it could sleep 4. Would highly recommend this condo and would go back. Thank you for a wonderful and relaxing vacation.
Overall the place is fantastic. Right next door to a beautiful beach. Air Conditioner keeps the front room cool and the bedroom was not cold but cool enough.
This was my 9 time to Kona & have mostly stayed at the Kona Reef. Love the property & the location. This condo was great. Beautiful view. Well stocked kitchen etc. Would have been nice to have beach chairs which other places have had, but otherwise no complaints. Mahalo!
I will definitely book this unit again! Everything was as listed and we had a wonderful time. Everything was comfortable, well appointed and our communications with the owner were responded to immediately. I love Hawai’i and would find this unit comfortable enough to live in full time!!
Needs some upgrades..carpet old..bathtub hard to properly clean..bed was fine..wifi went out but Jim fixed it promptly..overall was a good stay..now joining 2 friends this afternoon here in same unit for 9 days..
We had a nice time and this was a comfortable place to stay. Could use a bit of a refresh but nothing major. It was my first time staying in Kailua-Kona and it is a bit of a zoo for our taste. Next time I will probably look for a place outside the core area.
Did have a nice visit overall, went for a great hike on the Jurassic Trail, a beautiful tropical forest loop of about 3.5 miles. Warning though, lots of rocks and roots so poles recommended for older hikers
Pros:-Location, location, location…quick walk to town and the complex has all the amenities needed.-Lots of cabinet space in the kitchen and bathroom.-Included all of the basics needed for indoor and outdoor cooking along with plates/containers, etc.Cons:-The unit has A/C but only in the living room. You need to run fans in the bedroom to keep it semi-comfortable.-The unit has a king size bed but it is rickety and un-comfortable.-There are NO beach chairs/umbrellas to use so you need to spend another 100 for those.-It supposedly has cable TV but couldn’t get the remote control to actually work. (Zero directions)-Checkout is actually 10:00a even though the directions state 10:30a
Location perfect, but totally disappointed in unit
Bathroom has cracked tiles, bathtub moldy, kitchen sink faucet had to be repeatedly turned off or it just ran, cookware worn out, ac only in living room,not bedroom.
All beach chairs full of rust. Living room shades wouldn't close all the way due to rust built up on rail, front door screen door knob fell off in our hand, pool and bar b q and view were excellent. So very disappointed. Feel we should get some sort of refund. Not to mention cable tv was terrible.
Good furniture, comfortable bed with bed linens new enough to fit bed.Negatives….abysmal lighting in kitchen, had to add table lamp to top of fridge.Kitchen faucet threatened to come off unless positioned just right. Needed more flatware and a few extra mugs…..not vital, but could be improved on.saucepans in good condition.Towel rail in bathroom screwed into hollow door so it fell off. Nice to have a bath tub but no plug and grungy looking with mildew, not inducive to sitting in tub.Large storage closet badly in need of clearing out as it was crammed full of old beach gear. High window in bedroom needed blackout shades as outside light from external path meant room was still in half light at nights.
All these are easily remedied

Amazing Island! Unit needs improvement
Big Island is an amazing island. My husband and I have been to all the islands and we actually think that this is the best of all of them. Less expensive. Affordable. Sooo calm. We love the location of this condo, it has an amazing view of the ocean. What you see in the picture is 100% accurate of what you’ll expect in person. The downside is we didn’t like the unit so much. It highly needs improvement, it’s old and needs cleanliness. If you’re in a low budget and looking for something last minute, this is the place. My husband and I chose this unit because we were literally booking last minute and I grabbed this so quick and plus it’s inexpensive. However, when we got to the unit, we feel we should’ve booked somewhere else. There’s bugs, and there’s cockroach as well in our unit. I freaked out! It was big and on the wall! I reached out to our host and Ken responds very well and he’s on top of it. Within minutes, the maintenance guy came and take care of the pest. Ken is a very good host!!! He’s the best! The only thing is the unit needs to be properly cleaned and maybe change a lot of things inside. When we came, there’s a dead bug laying in our bathroom and that right away is a disappointment, but overall, our stay was well accommodated. Great view!! Great location, super close to downtown. We walked to go shopping, eat and have dinner, etc. Plus, Magic Sands Beach is also super close here, we’re able to enjoy the beach too without driving far!
Our stay at the Kona Reef was wonderful. The condo has a great view, clean, comfortable and many amenities. We would definitely stay again!

Wonderful Retreat
The condo has an incredible view of the ocean. Nice and quiet complex, within walking distance to the restuarants and shops. An incredible stay!!
Thank you!
We had a wonderful time staying at Kona Reef. We went to Kona Hawaii to do some scuba diving and sight seeing. The condo at Kona Reef was perfect and had ever thing we needed. This is our third stay and will stay again. I highly recommend.
The condo location was perfect. You could see surfers from the balcony and it was a short walk to restaurants and shops. Everything in the apartment was functional, so we had a great stay. Light sleepers, you can hear some road noise in the bedroom.
