Property Overview
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.

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.
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!
We had an amazing stay at Kona Reef Condo. Communication was excellent. The condo is in the perfect location and provides everything we needed for a wonderful vacation. 10 out of 10. We will definitely be back! Mahalo
The accommodations were wonderful! The condo was clean, perfect location, easy parking, and all of the beach equipment we could need!
Great condo with a very nice beach view. Condo was very clean and comfortable. Within walking distance to downtown. Host was very responsive leading up to our stay.
We had everything we needed. The condo was clean and comfortable, next to a nice, popular, public beach.
Great location for walking around Kona. We did not need to rent a carCommunication with host was excellent.
Was great and so were the owners!
This condo AND host Kathy were simply amazing!! The décor screams “welcome to Hawaii, sit back and relax”! Kitchen: everything you need!! I did appreciate the extra trash bags, dish soap and scrubbers. Note…I didn’t know this beforehand, but no plastic bags are used on the island. There was a box of bags on top of the dryer (I left the ones I bought). There was a spice rack and salt/pepper available which just added another convenience when preparing our own meals.Washer/Dryer: Soap/dryer sheets provided. Cabinet next to Washer: sunscreen/lotion/first aid kit/Kleenex offered. I didn’t need them, but it was appreciated.Bathroom: Shampoo/conditioner/body wash offered. There were a few rolls of toilet paper to start with, which was appreciated. “Living space” was more than enough for just the two of us. Super comfy couch. We typically ate our food at the dining table on the Lanai which was great! There were books/games/cards to use which was thoughtful.Lanai: The rocking chairs are wonderful! It was great being able to watch the local boogie boarders ride the waves and the early morning Yoga classes on the beach. There are chairs/umbrella/cooler/water noodles/snorkel gear. Renting snorkel gear was 125 wk for 2.If this host has another vacation property, I will rent from them without question!! Tip: Arrive, settle in, BEFORE going to the store to purchase items. Trust me, this will save you some time & money.
Super location, nice kitchen, comfy beds.
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 .
Perfect location with a small sandy beach next door. Short walk to town and restaurants. We’ll definitely be back!
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 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!
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!
Right on the water, beautiful views! Condo has everything you need for your stay!
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!!
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!
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!!!!! 🙂
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.
Fabulous location to walk to bars and restaurants!!!!! Nice property! Quiet!
The location and decor of this property are first rated. Kathy, the owner
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!
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.
Enjoyed our stay. Perfect location to walking shops and dining. Condo had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Highly recommend.
Would stay again
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!
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.
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.
A very beautiful condo with beautiful and amazing views of the ocean did i mention ocean front veiw excellent location walkable distance to restaurants and local entertainment i give Kona Reef Condo 10 out of 10 making a return to this location had made my decision easier ....Thanks Cathy
The owner has done a great job of decorating the condo and lots of amenities like beach chairs, boogie boards, etc. While a few drawbacks like no A/C in bedroom (we were fine with fan but imagine it is very hot in summer) and some difficulty with small and limited parking slots, overall a great place and great value.
Good place to stay with family while visiting kona
Wonderful! I would recommened to others. Owner Kathy is very helpful.
I wanted location on a beach and ocean view. This property has both, as advertised. Having breakfast on the balcony was a wonderful experience. On the downside, the bedroom has small inoperable windows, high up by the ceilimg. Since the only air conditioner is in the living room, the small bedroom with a ceiling fan became warm and stuffy on the hot days we were there. The furnishings need updating. The owner responds to emails promptly.
