About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire condo to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

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.

Sweet little condo
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.

Anniversary
The only thing this place has going for it is the location. When we arrived the tv was on. The remote was not working. We messaged the host. The next morning while we were out maintenance man let himself in to fix the remote. When we returned the tv was on. Remote still not working. We called host again. Maintenance came again and replaced the batteries then he left. Remote still not working. Called maintenance. When he returned he was talking to the host on phone. I could overhear their conversation. They were blaming it on user error. I handed the remote to maintenance and asked him to show me how it works. It wasn’t working! Finally he replaced the remote. The next morning cable repair showed up without warning because the Wi-Fi was so slow they had to replace cables. This place was a disappointment. The air conditioner smells of cigarette smoke and mold. The couch smells like urine. The bathroom tub is disgusting. Bathroom Sheetrock has holes in it. The bathroom windows are rusted shut. The refrigerator is old and rusty. Washer and dryer are rusty. Drapes, linens and towels are old and outdated. We had friends staying in other units and theirs were so nice compared to this unit. We will not be back here ever.

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.

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!

Needs some work
It says “a clean, comfortable and recently-renovated island-style 1BR” I’m not sure when it was rennovated. This unit shows its wear and tear and would greatly benefit from a renovation. Other issues: -no beach chairs - this is a must have when on island. I actually went and bought a chair. -Internet: make sure you use the “new” internet code, not the code in the check-in instructions. The modem is in the bedroom so WiFi in the living room is good, out on the patio is non-existent. -Bedroom windows need more than a sheer drape, expect morning sunlight to wake you up.

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.

Great condo
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

Great condo at Kona Reef
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.

Great location but a little rough
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.

Location is only thing going for this unit
Kona Reef gets a pass; Unit C11 a failing grade. Dirty, dirty. Sign asked us to take our shoes off when entering. That was our 1st mistske. Floors/tile was filthy. I had to go buy micro fibre towels to clean them. Very tired furnishings,drapes,linens and bedding. Everything that could form rust, is rusty. Had to go buy a screwdriver to tighten toilet seat down. I am sure with proper maintenance and cleaning this could be a viable rental option. 2 lamps had broken bulbs. Went to store to buy:serious sticker shock $16.00 for a 40watt bulb. Nope. Switched bulbs around in unit to work for us. Weather in November was a plus. Pool and bbq grills were cleaned daily. Parents allowed to let children/babies in with diapers. We chose not to use pool or hot tub for this reason and still a high Covid count on Big Island. We managed our 2 weeks in Kona. Spending our last week in Waikoloa. Love this Island. Just being honest about this unit.

Great location, needs lots of love
It’s been awhile since this property has seen any love. It’s a great location with nice amenities on the property and inside the unit, but it could very much use some attention. A deep clean and paint would help, but mostly many of the items need complete replacement. The towels were old and smelled deeply of mildew. The slip pad in the shower was discolored after probably years of use. The AC smelled of mold and cigarettes and needs to be cleaned or replaced. All my clothes stunk when I got home. Besides that, the location can’t be beat and there was some nice snorkeling and beach gear in the closet (probably left from other guests). A little bit of investment by the property owner would go a long way to improve the unit.

NICE VIEW BUT
The sofa in this condo urgently needs to be replaced - its so uncomfortable to sit on - let alone lie on while watching tv - it is fit for the tip. Also the stools on the deck are rusted and wobbly. Bed was comfortable and the kitchen was acceptable Having the pool open in the morning at 8am is too late. I like to get up early to do my laps and twice i was asked to leave because it was 7.45!!!

Great ground floor ocean front unit.
The property was centrally located with very good onsite parking. The condo was also generous in space. There are two aspects of the condo that could be improved, or one should be aware of: 1. The unit only has an air conditioner in the living room, the bedroom does not have A/C. There is a big temperature difference between bedroom and front living space. 2. The matteress in the bedroom needs to be replaced. The center of the mattress has at least a 6-8 depression in it. I woke with sore backs every morning.
