Love the location of the condo! The view was spectacular! Bruce was great with communication. My only concern was the cleanliness of the kitchen and bathroom.

We really enjoyed our stay at Bruce's condo. It was exactly as depicted and described. Everything we needed for our five night stay was provided, there were even snorkel gear and boogie boards for our use. The balcony was wonderful, we spent a lot of time out there enjoying the view of the surf.

Super perfect location. Everything is walkable. So so so many things to do in this location. Would absolutely stay here again

Enjoyed being within 100ft of the shoreline from our room. Unobstructed 180 ocean views. The property is tired and in need of lots of lip stick ( paint, loose walkway tiles. When you run this many people through a condo complex it requires a commitment to maintain it at a desirable level. This high level of commitment is absent at Kona Reef. If you have to say the words “it’s not that bad”, it needs work and is that bad. If the property condition matched its location with ocean front living It would be a winner. Tough love from an honest guest

Walking distance to many great restaurants big plus. Beautiful view for sunsets. Loved all the extras for beach, such as chairs, umbrella, boogie boards and more! Would definitely return! Well stocked kitchen also very helpful!

The view is AMAZING! The owners were responsive and gave us lots of information about the condo and the area. They were available if more information was needed. The condo is nicely updated with all the basics you need to start your vacation. Already had paper towels, dishwasher tabs, zipper bags, spices, some condiments, etc... The bed was comfortable. There was plenty of storage. We also liked that there was Chromcast as well as a cable tv option. The complex is very well maintained and has a lovely pool and grill area. We have stayed at the Kona Reef resort previously and this condo is one of the best in the complex. The location of this condo is also a big plus! You can walk to town where you will find restaurants, bars, boutiques, shave ice, gelato and so much more. We hope to return again soon!

Great patio, nothing between it and the shoreline. Sunset over the water. The unit was fine, bring coffee. Small rocky beach next to the property, good for getting wet. Pool area is nice. Surfing out front most days. Nothing really walkable.

You can't beat the view! Love the proximity to town. Condo was clean and had everything we needed.

Great place. Clean. Cozy. Well stocked. Almost every conceivable utensil in the kitchen. Everything works. Nice extras like snorkel equipment and boogie boards. Lanai is very private overlooking beautiful rocky cove. Had breakfast and dinner every day out there. Bruce is a great host that gave us all the info we needed for our stay. I hope to stay there again next trip to the Kona coast.
