Reviewer Comments:
Unite was decorated nicely with wide view of ocean. Two bathrooms greatly appreciated. No elevator violates ADA rules, so yo must be healthy and strong to arrive at unit with several flights of stairs.Patio sun shades are not working, jets for hot tub not working, leather coaster in humid weather do not work.Bar chairs are not comfortable for bare feet, closet door guides are painful to bare feet (add tape to mark?)Would be nice to have a source of music. Please mark TV controllers by room bc they were in wrong place and we didn't know the problemPlease supply bug spray for indoors, a serrated knife, and more ice trays.We were celebrating our anniversary so champagne flutes would be nice.Received a 6 am text in response to a question three days before.No lock box with door key so we used the code for entry.
We’ve stayed in a couple other ocean front units at Kona Reef, and this was the nicest of them. Nicely remodeled, and extremely well stocked with high quality items.It has an extra bathroom and larger unit compared to most of the one bedroom units. The outside area is a bit wider too, which gives room for a dining table plus two lounge chairs.The bed was a very good bed, better than other beds we’ve had in Kona Reef units. If there is any one improvement for the unit, a top tier bed would be the one thing I could ask for. Note that is definitely not a complaint; the unit itself is so good that is literally the only improvement I could even think of.Would definitely stay again.
The condo is perfect and somehow stocked with everything you might need.
Outstanding rental unit for couple. Completely accurate description. Nice finishes and fully equipped. As close to the breaking waves as you can want, but the shore is rocky and swimmable only by the serious. The management company is excellent.
One of the better properties we’ve stayed in on the island. Walking distance to shops and restaurants. Back patio is literally steps from the ocean.
Well decorated, very comfy beds - including the hide-a-bed, sharp knives in the kitchen, clean, comfortable, parking included. Great location - can walk to town and half way between exploring north or south island.
Great location, Great property, Great parking.The pictures are accurate. You just say, "WOW", when you enter.Would definitely rent this unit again.
We were absolutely THRILLED with our accommodations! Perfect location, wonderful amenities, and a feeling of overall luxury!
Our goal was to sit major R&R looking at the ocean & listening to the waves by the hour and we were successful in meeting our goal! Property manager and owner were wonderful.
Went on our honeymoon . Everything about our stay in this unit was perfect . The view was amazing ! Having a little beach right next door was great! Close proximity to all restaurants and shops ! Very clean ! The A/C kicked ass ! The bed was super comfy ! There were coolers , beach chairs, umbrella . No need to rent anything . Check in was very easy and we were even gifted a little extra time for checkout . The just also checked in with us several times via text just to make sure all was well with the condo . We did not really watch much TV but it all worked well too . hot tub was hot . We will Defenitely stay there again . I cannot recommend this unit enough . ENJOY !!!
We notified the host immediately the toilet seat in the bathroom in the master bedroom was loose. She said it would be taken care of, and it was... the day before we left! The door on that bathroom would not stay on the tracks, so we had to fix it each time, then it wouldn't stay closed. I told the host about it when she told me the handyman was coming. The large sliders are literally a danger! If we closed(slammed) it hard enough to be able to lock it it was literally not possible for me to open it. My husband had to do it. There was a notebook that mentioned the slider, but we were already there. The utensils all had rust, and window coverings were difficult.
Beautiful view but too many little negatives for us to recommend or rebook.
The property was perfect. The pool and hot tub were well maintained. Walking distance to stores and restaurants. We enjoyed the oceanfront patio. Watching the surfers and boaters each day. The sunsets from the patio were stunning There were two beach chairs, an umbrella and a cooler. Plenty of ice in the freezer. I would suggest provide a few more forks😁
My husband and I stayed here for our 25th wedding anniversary and absolutely loved this condo! The ocean view is amazing and literally right outside the lanai. We appreciated being able to use the beach chairs, umbrella and cooler. Great condo, we will be back.
We absolutely loved this vrbo!! We had such great access to the waterfront, grassy area and pool. Kona Reef is the perfect distance to where all the shops and restaurants are. Lisa was communicating with us from the beginning of our trip til the end! Maholo Lisa!!
25ft from the ocean, 75ft from the beach, 10ft from the pool, and .03 mile walk to shopping and restaurants. Condo had all the amenities needed. Beautiful sunsets every night!! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
We had a wonderful stay. The views can't be beat. The condo had everything we needed and more!
Great location, ocean front...........and close to shopping, beaches and good restaurants......well-appointed and very comfortable for my wife and I
We stayed here for one week, and we couldn’t have been happier with it! We came for the Ironman, and it was perfect distance to walk to all of the festivities down town. It was so nice to be able to drink our coffee on the back patio every morning and watch the surfers. The kitchen had everything we needed to do groceries and cook for ourselves, and we even used the grill at the pool one night. This place was perfect!!

We loved the location of this property. It is very close to the water and has a great view of the sunset every night. It is an easy walk to shopping, art galleries and restaurants, as well as the meeting places for most of the tours we took.
There was a nice gift basket with fruit and coffee upon arrival.
The property was well stocked for cooking and with water activity equipment.
The property manager, Andrew, was easy to communicate with and provided good suggestions for restaurants.
Beautiful condo. Had everything we needed. Was exactly as described. Fantastic views. Perfect location for walks into town. Nice pool, grounds and parking. AC and all appliances in good working order. Owner and manager communication was excellent. We will look for this property again on our next visit to Kona. Mahalo nui loa Anneliese and Andrew!
This unit is really beautiful and has everything you need for your stay. We stayed a week. It has close proximity to so many wonderful restaurants and activities, all within walking distance.We loved eating our breakfast on the patio each morning and watching the surfers. Sunsets are amazing. The hosts were great at answering any of my questions. We will stay here again the next time we visit Kona!
Besides the perfect location and beautiful furnishings this condo had all the amenities and then some that anybody could ask for. From the washer / dryer, all the kitchen necessities and utensils, detergent, sun screen, great towels and anything you could ask for in the bathroom ... I could go on and on but I think I made my point. I have never stayed in a rental that was that well organized.
And to top it off Anneliese, knowing that we were coming in late the first night, had left us fruit and some other foods and drinks and other supplies which was not expected or necessary but was much appreciated and again showed her attention to make sure we had a wonderful stay. She also communicated with us from before we got there, throughout or stay and made sure we got on our way safely after our wonderful stay that we had wish had lasted longer.
If you want to spend your days directly in front the ocean, listening to the crashing surf while you fall asleep - then this is your home away from home. This unit is a spacious one bedroom, two bathroom (tub and stand up shower) ground floor condo that is close enough to Kona to walk into town for something to eat but far enough away to be quiet. The pool and deck are oceanfront and a wonderful place to relax between excursions. Cooking in the kitchen with the huge island is a great option to eating out. The private patio is a perfect spot to eat all your meals or just relax and watch the surfers. The patio faces west so there is a nightly sunset to enjoy. The host is warm and welcoming and always available to answer questions. You are greeted with a welcome basket full of island treats and a clean and comfortable home. Parking is easy and safe. Fans and air conditioning cool the living space and bedroom well if needed. A breeze always flows through with the windows and patio door open. The aloha spirit is alive and well here.
First floor unit. The view was fantastic! Unit was very clean and well stocked with everything we needed. Anneliese was great to work with.
Upon checking we were surprised at how old and dingy the property was. The pictures were obviously taken many years earlier. The floors were filthy as evidenced by my white socks becoming black within five minutes. Upon opening the front door a very old and dirty smell was evident. Airing out the unit did help somewhat. The shower curtain in the second bathroom was filthy on the bottom and the baseboards had not been cleaned for some time. The furnishings, both inside and out, were dated and stained. In short, Barbara and I were very disappointed in the property.
Great location with plenty of good restaurant choices within 5 minute walk.
Host was on point. The condo had a nice welcome basket.
Great place to stay.
This was a lovely place to stay during a recent trip to Hawaii with my 18 year old son. The lanai is a wonderful spot to sit and relax, and the condo itself is comfortable, conveniently located, and well stocked. We appreciated having snorkel gear, a cooler, and beach chairs and umbrella provided! Communications with the owner were easy. The condo is very near the pool, but there were never any noise issues (the overall vibe of the complex is pretty sedate). We enjoyed staying here!
The condo was amazing! You’re steps from the ocean and can hear it every morning! Condo is minutes from the town. Property owner was amazing to work with. Thank you for an amazing week. We miss it already.
