Perfect location, close enough to walk to the Kona waterfront, far enough away to be quiet and peaceful. Loved the condo. Great getaway!

An easy walk to local restaurants. Several times we just brought food back and ate it on our balcony. We also went to the local farmers market and brought back fresh fruit. Everything we needed to cut the fruit and serve our meals was provided in the kitchen.Nice updated bathroom and shower.

This condo was absolutely perfect for us! The location is perfect - you can walk to amazing restaurants and shops. As all the reviews say, the best part was watching the sunrise and sunset from the balcony. The ocean view is simply unmatched. We loved cooking breakfast and having coffee overlooking the ocean. Before we arrived, the owner spent 30 minutes giving us recommendations, some of which we hadn't heard about yet. We were welcomed with a beautiful fruit basket, wine, and amazing Kona coffee. We used the beach chairs and cooler the owner provided, and the condo had everything we needed for cooking in. We used the hot tub a couple of nights to relieve our sore feet after hiking! Activities we did and places we ate:- Swim with the Manta Rays at night. A MUST DO. - Blue Hawaiian helicopter ride over the valleys, waterfalls, and volcanoes. Stunning, majestic views.- Volcano house. We didnt get to see lava, but still interesting to see the caldera and steam pockets.- Luau at the Fairmont Orchid resort. Great food and show (worth the drive).- Drove northern route to Hilo. Stopped at various lookouts, Akaka falls, and best of all, the Hawaiian Botanical Gardens. Loved it!!- Sea Paradise catamaran sail and snorkel tour.- Green sands beach - 5.5 mile total hike, be prepared!- Heavenly coffee farms tour- Puna chocolate farm tour- Snorkeled at Honaunau Bay ("Two Step") and Kahalu'u beach.- Places to eat: Huggos, Theatery, Don's, Lava Java, Lavernes. Great food!

This condo is right on the water & the views are stunning. We couldnt get enough of them. Comfortable sofa & comfortable bed. The kitchen is fully stocked with dishes, glasses & all sorts of utensils. All we had to buy was food. Several restaurants & stores are within walking distance. The only negative was a hiccup with the AC which was addressed immediately. If you want a relaxing place to stay in PARADISE with incredible views, Dans condo is your ticket.

Superb rental. Have been to HI multiple times and a frequent VRBO user. Property was as advertised... excellent unencumbered view and the sound waves below. Beach equipment was excellent which we don’t typically find. Communications were pleasant and the owner was very accommodating. Would recommend to anyone looking for a great Big Island experience!

Neat & clean, oceanfront, nice pool & hot tub available, public beach next door, covered parking, and walking distance to numerous restaurants; what’s not to love about this place? The owners and handyman are extremely responsive and the neighbors are quiet.

We stayed here twice in 2 weeks. It was a perfect small condo with everything provided even a welcome basket our second visit! The VIEW is STUNNING! Watching the waves, maybe a few surfers in the mornings on the lanai is a great way to enjoy breakfast with a cup of coffee - Hawaii at the best. Honyl Beach is next door and where Wake boarding was invented. Everything was in the condo and the little things like nail polish remover was in cabinets. So thoughtful. Great beach supplies: 2 new chairs, umbrella and wake boards!! We would stay here again.

This was our 8th trip to Hawaii, but our first trip to the Big Island and we loved it. Kailua - Kona definitely had the Lahaina vibe to it which we had been missing. Being able to easily walk to Huggos for a nice dinner, Huggos on the Beach for happy hour drinks and casual dining, shopping and a nice little beach was super convenient. The view from the lanai overlooking the black lava rock coastline was amazing. It was perfect for relaxing mornings watching sunlit waves and gorgeous sunsets in the evening. We explored, snorkeled, shop and ate all over the island and were lucky to make it over to the Kilaeau while it was erupting which was a super rare/special experience. We will return to the Big Island and this unit for sure. Thanks Dan and Jana for sharing your piece of paradise.

The view will grab your attention as you walk in. The ocean is right there! Next you realize how wonderful the Hawaiian furniture is and how clean the condo is. I’ve rented plenty of Vrbo condos and this was the cleanest ever. We love to cook and were quite pleased with the kitchen. The bed is comfortable and the walk in shower is nice. One week wasn’t enough.

Property was perfect for two people. The view from the lanai was stunning for our morning coffee and evening relaxing. The water is tiffany blue as it breaks against the lava rocks. The condo had everything you need. We did not find it lacking in any way. The location was convenient also..clean and comfortable. We would not hesitate to rebook if we come back to the Big Island.

We had a wonderful week here. We found the condo clean and well stocked. The balcony is a great spot to enjoy the ocean and listen to the roar of the waves. Downtown Kona is a short walk away, so it’s easy to get to shops and restaurants. We really appreciated that the bed is one of the most comfortable we’ve found in a vacation rental. The comfort of the living furniture was alright, but not great - but I’m picky due to my back issues. The owner, Dan, was very easy to communicate with. Overall, I recommend this condo and would stay again.

A great amenity is the sun shade on the lanai. It extends the amount of time to comfortably enjoy the afternoon and enjoy sound of the ocean waves.

There are many places to stay in Kailua, but time after time, we have chosen this one. To us, it is just perfect. Dan, our host is easy to reach and is very kind.. There is new furniture in the living room! There is a lovely walk in shower with grab bars, and the bed is very comfortable. the whole unit is exceptionally clean and perfectly stocked.It's easy to be up early if you are on coast time, and there is nothing that we would rather do than sit outside in the comfortable chairs that are high enough to see over the rail, sip coffee, and watch the dawn come over the ocean,. Unless of coarse its sitting with something cold and delicious while the sun sets into the ocean right out in front.

This is a lovely oceanfront condo located within easy walking distance to town. It is very nicely decorated and comfortable, with brand-new furniture in the living room. The most amazing feature, though, is the large lanai, with a spectacular and expansive view of the ocean. Watching the beautiful sunsets each night with a glass of wine was wonderful and relaxing. We also really appreciated the ceiling fan and pull-down screen on the lanai, which made it very enjoyable even though it was quite warm out. The condo also has a nice kitchen with everything you need for preparing meals. We really enjoyed the Kona coffee provided by the hosts, which was a very nice touch. We would definitely stay here again, and really appreciated Dan's hospitality. Mahalo!

The stay here exceeded our expectations. This was our first time visiting HI. The condo was very well taken care of, clean, and had the most amazing sunset views from the patio. We were welcomed with a treat of macadamia nut chocolates and Kona coffee. The unit had extra beach towels to use and the washer and dryer was put to good use. The grounds are well taken care of and they had tenets cooking on the grills in the pool area nightly. The location is a short walk into town with access to plenty of shops, restaurants, and bars. We were close enough to even walk to Kona Brewery. Loved the location and stay. The contact person was easy to get ahold of on exit to let them know we were checking out. I would highly recommend this stay to anyone looking at the Kona area.

This was a wonderful stay. The unit was everything i had hoped for and exactly like advertised. The location was perfect. Waking up and going out to the balcony with sunshine and crashing waves was such a treat. The grounds are very well maintained and everyone was so friendly. Loved the shower and the amenities were a plus, really soft water very nice...A big thank you to the owners for the gift basket and birthday card how very thoughtful. I highly recommend this condo. 10 stars if there is such an acknowledgement.

I can’t recommend this condo unit enough! My husband and I have visited 8 times over the years, for a month+ at a time (and next year is booked). Location is great – right on the edge of the town, so walking distance to restaurants and shopping. The building has a pool, bbqs, covered parking, and is next to Honl’s Beach. What sets this unit apart is the owners, who truly care about giving a 5-star experience. Every time we come, something in the unit is updated, remodeled, or added. It is a true home-away-from home - immaculately cleaned for your arrival, and stocked with everything you could need on your vacation. Plan on spending countless hours on the lanai listening to the waves and watching the action in the water. Staying here will only enhance your time in paradise. A Hui Hou.

Really enjoyed our stay at the Kona Reef! The condo is very clean and well kept up. The hosts thought of everything...beach chairs, beach towels, coolers, etc. Loved the extra touch of a box of Hawaiian made chocolates & cookies left for us. The view of the ocean from the lanai was the best part of the condo. Enjoyed the sunsets and watching for whales. The condo is also within walking distance to some shops and restaurants. The only downside of this condo was parking was sometimes a challenge in the evening as the lots got full. I would highly recommend this condo for your stay in Kaiula-Kona!

This place was unbelievable!! Seeing and hearing the ocean all day, oh man! Our trip got delayed due to cracks on the runway at Kona Airport and the owner was kind enough to refund the night we missed because of it. Communication was excellent. I would love to stay here again!!
