Rental Details

Property Overview

Private, top floor, absolute oceanfront, beautiful one bedroom condo at the highly acclaimed Kona Reef Resort! Newly Remodeled!

Modern Appliances:

• Brand New Efficient, Quiet Daikin 24 BTU Air conditioning and ceiling fans in both bedroom and living room.
• Dish washer.
• Brand new Washer/dryer in the unit.
• Brand new spacious refrigerator.
• Brand new stove.

Elegant, large wall to wall mirrors to bring the beautiful ocean and year round sunset view into the living area!

Spacious direct oceanfront lanai (balcony) for romantic dining!

Why Kona Reef:

• Conveniently located along the prestigious Alii Drive in the heart of Kona town.
• It’s a 5 minute walk in your flip-flops down a low traffic side street (along the ocean) to the village where you will enjoy shopping, dining, nightlife, and other attractions in historic Kailua Village. Walking is better than being caught in downtown traffic, while searching for an elusive parking spot.

•Kona Reef Resort is in the heart of Kona town. It is only about 10 mins’ walk to town where free parking is scarce. Staying in Kona Reef, you don’t need to drive to town. This makes Kona Reef Resort very desirable and sought after!

• It’s only a few steps to the romantic Honl's Beach; offering snorkeling on calm days, sandy area for kids and sunning, and a hugely popular surf spot when the waves are up.
• It’s one of the few Resorts to offer a heated, salt-water pool adjacent to the ocean.
• It also has a jet spa, barbecue facility & pavilion, elevators, on property and free under and above ground parking for guests, in a zone where parking is a valued commodity.

Why Top Floor, Ocean Front is best:
(Kona Reef has elevators with half flight of stairs to each floor landing)

• Best vantage point of oceanfront view and year round sunsets from lanai, living area and kitchen. Extensive mirroring in living area and lanai affords ocean and both North and South coastline views from virtually anywhere in the living area, as well as lanai
• Best privacy; which is compromised on the first and second floor units.
• Best security - leave the lanai door open 24 hours to enjoy ocean breeze and sound.
• This Ocean front suite is 23 feet (7 meters) from the shoreline. You can watch the surfers, with occasional sightings of whales and dolphins.

What’s Included:

• Bedding includes a California King and a queen size bed in the living room, accommodating up to 4 guests (2 adults 2 small kids or 3 adults) Max.
• Tastefully decora.
• Fully equipped kitchen.
• Bath tub, with a shower.
• Soaps, toiletries, and hairdryer.
• Beach gears, beach towels, cooler.
• Flat screen SmartTV in the living room and 55" flat screen SmartTV in the bedroom for your enjoyment.
• Living room and bedroom both have air conditioning units.
• Washer and dryer in the suite.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We absolutely loved staying here. The location is great walking distance to everything downtown. Far enough away that we don’t get all the noise. Sitting on the covered patio overlooking the water in the morning and at night was absolutely beautiful. Gorgeous sunset! Communication was great. Would definitely stay here again.

Kona Reef is a great place to stay. We enjoyed watching the marine life right in front of us. Being next to Honi's Beach makes it fun to watch the local surfers. The owner was very accommodating. Nice unit.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This property did not disappoint. Terrific sunset and ocean view. The sound of the ocean waves was soothing. We spent every evening watching the sun go down over the water and listening to the water. Cold A/C, comfortable bed, and quiet complex. Everything in the condo was as advertised. The location close to restaurants and shopping was nice since we didn't have to worry about parking. Owner was responsive and friendly. Thanks for letting us stay. We hope to be back soon.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This condo has a fantastic location and million dollar views. The view from the balcony is amazing! The problem that we found were in the manner that the kitchen was supplied. It had the cheapest 2-toast toaster (we had to fold bread to fit) and a 5-cup coffee maker. No measuring cups or plastic platters to bring food down to the BarBQ where glass is prohibited. Broiler pan was missing and there were no cookie sheets. There isn't even a full set of dishes, Simple things like a decent set of hot pads, chip clips, drink cozies were all missing. There also was not any kleenex in the unit. These are all simple fixes that should not have to be mentioned when you are paying almost $500 per night to stay here!PS: I noted that the sliding door issue noted in August by an earlier guest still had not been resolved

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Well appointed, full set of amenities, and an amazing oceanfront view. No need to stress for reservations elsewhere (restaurants, boat rides etc) to experience a beautiful sunset or ocean sounds. Relax on the lanai and sip your favorite beverage with your favorite companion or walk to town and shop your heart out. So many choices and great home base to many adventures.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location truly is THE best spot in the area - right on the water, highest floor. You can even hear the surf when the sliding door is closed! Property looks brand new - no sign of wear and tear. And the place was immaculate when we arrived - you could have literally eaten off the floor. You can walk just about anywhere for food, coffee, yoga, beach, sunrises, gifts, you name it. Both the owner and the rental company were amazing - great communication, immediate responses, no surprises. This is truly a gem on the island.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This condo was great. A nice location right on the ocean's edge, with great view of the beach next door as well as the surfer/boogie boarders in the water. The owners and rental mgmt checked in with us after we arrived, to see if we needed anything. Lots of extra amenities that help make a vacation even easier: drying line for wet clothes, filtered water container in the frig, tupperware in the kitchen, all the beach gear you'd need: umbrella, chairs, beach towels, and boogie boards. The bed was very comfortable. There was AC in both the bedroom and the main area, but we only turned on the bedroom AC once. We left the patio doors open at night and that kept the place nice and comfortable. And sat out on the lanai every morning and night. Very happy with our stay - highly recommend. Thanks!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location with beautiful lanai where we watched whales spouting and breaching. Very clean and bed was comfortable. Coffee pot was only 5 cup so we had to make several pots each morning. There is only one lounge chair on the lanai, and the couch is very uncomfortable. But, overall it was a great trip.
