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.

Nice Unit
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

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!

Nice time.
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

Unit F25
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

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.

Great location
Hello, we recently spent a week at this unit. Mostly appointed as advertised. Unit is quite except for street and road noise from the bedroom as you'll probably want the windows open. The Air conditioning system in lacking and while the unit is clean on the surface it could use a real deep clean, carpet picture frames, window screens and bath fan were kind of gross. Location is great as you can walk to town.

View can’t be beat
This is second time we’ve enjoyed a staycation here. Some elements of the condo are tired, but we’ve noticed a few upgrades since last time. New refrigerator, Spectrum Wi-Fi & TV package recently installed & kitchen organized nicely. The pool area is always pristine and the view is spectacular. We always enjoy our meals on the lanai. Check in/out is easy.

Beautiful ocean view & gorgeous sunsets
Beautiful view of the ocean. Convenient to many sites. Easy access. Description accurate. A few past reviews commented on need for updating. The couch and dining chairs look newly reupholstered. It could use a deep cleaning & better organization in kitchen cabinets. However, it is clean enough. We live on east side of BI and understand cleaning & maintaining vacation rentals is challenging since usually there is not much turnover time between guests. (We are former housekeepers/maintenance for vacation rentals) We thoroughly enjoyed our stay & will keep it in mind for our next staycation. We were not looking for luxury. We wanted a relaxing place with an ocean view. This fit the bill. Simple meals on the lanai, gorgeous sunsets every night and relatively quiet for Ali’i Drive. Only glitch was…We couldn’t get the cable box or tv to come on in the LR. We came to enjoy the outdoors so it wasn’t that important to us. We did not contact the owner, but I’m sure he would have been responsive if we did. Missing Kona already.
