Absolute Oceanfront Deluxe - 3 Min. Walk to Town - See Video

Year Purchased: 2004

Why the Owner Chose Kona Reef

In 2004 we purchased this beautiful condo because it was just the kind of place we most liked to stay and knew our family and friends would love the oceanfront location too. Since our home is close by, we make sure it is always in tip top shape. It is located close to town so you don't need to take the car every time you go out. You don't need to walk on the highway either. There is a lovely public beach right next door too. The Kona Reef is a well maintained complex with oceanfront pool, gas BBQs, covered parking and good security

The Unique Benefits at this Condominium

There is snorkeling gear, beach towels, chairs and equipment, a picnic cooler and even binoculars to watch the ships, surfers, dolphins and whales in season. There is a high-speed DSL and WiFi internet connection for those who must stay connected even while in paradise. The kitchen is well equipped and even has matching dishes.

Kialua-Kona is a wonderful village with the real Hawaii feel, and it's an easy drive to the rest of the activities on the Big Island. The Volcanoes National Park is less than two hours drive south, and Hilo and the north end of the island are less than 2 hours the other way. The water on the Big Island is clear and warm -- the best snorkeling and diving in Hawaii. If golf is your game, we have world class courses nearby. Kona is known for its deep sea fishing too. Did I mention our unbeatable weather? I can't say we have it all, but I can't think of anything that is missing!

We hope you will stay with us and enjoy our paradise.

Owner's Map of Kona Reef

We were frequent visitors to Hawaii and stayed at many different condos over the years. The Big Island was always our favorite. We retired here from Monterey, California. Monterey was beautiful, but the fog and cold got to us and the water was too cold to enjoy. Now that we live here I can snorkel and paddle with the Keauhou Canoe Club almost every day.

Being retired we love talking to our many guests and we have kept busy doing upgrades and equipping this condo with everything we would like to have in a vacation condo and hope you agree.

    • From A to Z, Bruce and Alice Brooks' condo in Kona is well-stocked. There was nothing that was lacking, especially in the kitchen - every gadget was available, just like home, even a salad spinner, measuring cups, pasta scoopers. Wow! It is rare to have all the comforts of home in a rental unit's kitchen. This extended to all the rooms, and the special "play" closet for water sports - boogie boards, snorkeling equipment, water shoes, suntan lotion, beach chairs, umbrellas, underwater camera shells, fishing pole, and binoculars. We ate every meal outdoors on the spacious lanai, spotting dolphins, surfers, turtles, ships, and listening to the roaring waves. The bed was very comfortable. The decor was perfectly Hawaiian - pinneapple motif abounds, photos and posters of island life, and a Hawaiian quilt on the bed. Truly a gem among rental properties in Kona. Highly recommended.

    • This was our first experience with VRBO and we couldn't have been happier! The unit was even better than we expected. Not only does the it have an incredible ocean view (and sound!) but it has a big toy closet full of anything you'd need for a great day at the beach (towels, boogie boards, umbrella, cooler, etc...) it also has a huge binder full of useful information about the area, restaurants, and tours. We added a few of our favorites! It was great to have a welcome message from Bruce upon our arrival. It let us know that he was available to answer any questions we had. The washer/dryer was also a huge help! Thank you Bruce and Alice for having such a great place available, which makes us "mainlanders" feel at home!

    • This was our third visit to Kona Reef but the first time in this unit. We were quite pleased in how the owners made us feel comfortable upon our arrival. Information is there should you want to explore the whole island or various beach items available for your use while visiting Kona. It's a great direct ocean front unit to stay in while on the island.

    • Staying at Kona Reef D-26 was an absolute dream-vacation-come-true. We loved scuba diving, snorkelling, and taking surfing lessons locally (swam with lots of eels, turtles, and dolphins!). Walking downtown for yummy meals and shopping was so convenient and fun, but our favorite moments were sitting on the oceanfront lanai, eating pupus and sipping cocktails, while we watched amazing sunsets and pods of 20+ dolphins swimming by. A nice, quiet, family-friendly atmosphere (great pool and BBQs too). Mahalo for the thoughtful touches in our room upon our welcome too (we enjoyed the Kona coffee and macadamia nuts)! We stayed in your place four years ago, but we'll have to return much sooner next time!

    • We stayed at this wonderful condo on our honeymoon in June 2009. We were extremely pleased with our experience! The condo is newly remodeled, very well maintained, and clean. And the oceanfront location is amazing! Bruce and Alice keep it stocked with everything you'll need for your vacation. We really appreciated the free Internet access and all the wonderful beach gear, especially the snorkeling gear, cooler, and beach umbrellas. The coffee, macademia nuts, and welcome note were a very nice touch. It made it very personal. Bruce even called on the day we arrived to make sure we got in okay and to tell us to be sure to call if we needed anything at all. And he promptly put our deposit check in the mail on the day we left. It was the best condo-rental experience we've had anywhere. We will definitely return to Kona Reef condo D-26 when we return in the future!

    • We were delighted with the condo. It was furnished with EVERYTHING imaginable. The location was perfect, close enough to walk to restaurants and shops but away from the city noise and only feet from the ocean. Starting the day with sitting on the lanai drinking coffee and watching the surfers and ending the day letting the surf lull us to sleep was about as good as it gets. The coffee, macadamia nuts and phone call from Bruce made us feel very welcome and Bruce's phone call checking on us before we departed made us feel more like guests than renters. We will definitely check this condo for availability when returning to the Big Island.

    • Well, what else is there to say about D-26 that others already haven't? Nothing...Nothing short of incredible that is!! The location is perfect(close to town and great snorkeling), the condo is AMAZING (Ocean front) and the owners are very thoughtful (Ask Bruce any questions about what to do on the Big Island and he will answer them). In short...a stay here is a MUST!!!!
