About this property

This fully-furnished oceanfront condominium, is located 23 feet from the water on Alii Drive in Kailua-Kona. We are on the third level of a four level complex, A23. Listen to the ocean waves or catch a beautiful sunset while dining on your private lanai.

Enjoy a great vacation with your own special place on the Kona coast. There is only a coconut palm between you and the ocean front, you get the air and the sound from the ocean 24/7. If you like to watch the surf and hear it at it's best, this is the place. Just about everything that happens at the Kona waterfront can be seen from the lanai. There is whale and dolphin watching, para sailing, submarine touring, kayaking, and surfing all going on at one time or another. In addition many of the cruise ships can be seen at anchor. An active seascape.

The Kona Reef Condominiums are among the most desirable places to stay in Kailua-Kona. It is an easy walk to town for shopping and popular restaurants. Ocean access is steps away at Kona's newest beach. Staying here will make your visit to Hawaii a memorable one. This condominium is a non-smoking unit.

  • *Kona Reef Spalling Project Update**The "A" building construction was completed this June 2026. The site project will continue around the rest of the buildings through the Fall.

There will be some occasional noise during business hours on weekdays only.

The view from this condo is incredible! The waves break on the rocks and serenaded us during breakfast while we watched the canoe club paddle past. The condo is well-equipped for the beach next door with towels, chairs, umbrellas, and some snorkeling equipment. Plenty of kitchen equipment, etc with 4 BBQ’s by the pool if you want to do some outdoor grilling. Comfy sofa for TV watching. We had one self-imposed glitch during our stay and Cindy was just a quick text away and worked with us for a quick solution. We’d stay here again!

ALOHA... We liked the oceanfront balcony above the crashing waves. The location (close to town) and the view are definite highlights. Parking is easy and the pool is great!

The fantastic view is only enhanced by the warmth and thoughtfulness of the unit. Most everything you cud think to need is here. Good property perks,views and Hon’ls beach next door. So hard to choose sight seeing the island or just relaxing on your private oceanfront lanai. Lots of both! Communication w owners clear. When can I come back?

Can’t say enough great things about this condo! It was clean, decorated nicely and so well stocked! Most of all though the location is fantastic and the view is amazing! We enjoyed many meals/drinks on the balcony while watching the sunset

Clean, air conditioned, stocked with whatever one would need to experience the beach and cook etc. Can’t think of anything that needs improvement

We loved our stay here - when you travel halfway across the world, it has to be worthwhile and this did not disappoint! The location is perfect, walkable to so many places to eat, drjnk, shop with the beach right on the doorstep, while still being super peaceful. We loved watching surfers in the mornings and sunsets in the evenings. The apartment was equipped with everything we could possibly need, and wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again if we venture to the Big Island again in future.

The view from the lanai is spectacular. Having formerly lived in Hawaii and visiting nearly year, we have not seen a more fantastic view. Highly recommend this unit if you enjoy surf, waves and the beauty of the ocean.

This gem is everything you want for your Hawaiian vacation. There may be equal views on the Kona Coast but there are none better. And you are an easy walk into town, to restaurants, the farmers market, etc. The owners are easy to work with. Would give more than 5 stars.

I have been to Hawaii multiple times and this condo is superbly located. I could whale watch from the lanai. I watched the boogie boarders, surfers, swimmers, kayakers, & various boats from the lanai. I even spotted a turtle. Not to mention the wonderful sunsets. We never turned on the TV. All the amenities were there. We could walk to the restaurants and shops. We especially liked having dinner on the lanai as the sun set.

We loved our stay at Kona Reef. The condo had everything we needed, location was great, and oceanfront view could not have been better. The nightly sunset ritual, complete with the blowing of the conch shells, was magical. Thanks to Cindy and Bart for the hospitality!
