Aloha, it was the best week we ever had in holiday. Watching the surfers and whales from the lanai was a great experience for us. The town Kailua-Kona has an athmosphere which matches perfectly to our preferences. And of course we did a lot of sight-seeing on Big Island. Thank you so much for sharing your condo with us. We are sure that we will try to come back soon. Greatings from Germany Katja and Theodor

This was our first trip to the islands and the condo was everthing we hoped for and more! We stayed at two hotels first but didn't relax until we got here. Location is absolutely perfect-everything is within walking distance, condo felt like home-loved the comfy bed & linens, checking the turtles every day felt like having our own pets, gorgeous sunsets, pool & hot tub were so clean, and my new favorite scent is Plumera! Thank you so much!

This comfortable condo can't be beat for location. Whether you're looking for beautiful sunsets, time on the beach or swimming in the pool, you'll find it here. The condo is sunny, open and stocked with all the fun things you could ask for- beach equipment, video game system and TV/DVD, a shady lanai for outdoor dining or watching the surfers and a complete kitchen plus BBQs if you want to dine in. Plenty of restaurants and Farmer's Market are within walking distance. The Kona Reef is quiet and well-maintained for a perfect tropical get-away.

This condo was beyond all my expectations. No where else can you sit on the lanai and watch the surfers and then walk onto the beach. Its location is second to none. Close to town for shopping and restaurants. Well maintained with all of the little "extras" that make a vacation even more special. We have stayed in other condos on the Big Island but will plan all our future trips around this condo's availability.

And what a fantastic location for a place to stay! We really enjoyed watching all the wipe-outs in the surf each morning at breakfast. We highly recommend doing the manta ray dive or snorkel. An awesome experience! We went w/Big Island Divers but think any of the dive shops would be fine since they all go to the same place.

INCREDIBLE!! LOCATION, Amenities, Convenience, PURE HEAVEN!!

After searching for a wonderful home-away-from home for our vacation (sons turning 6 and 9), we decided on Kona Reef A-7. It was a hard call, as we had 2 other AMAZING choices, but we are SOOO glad we chose this condo! Though only 1 Bedroom, the boys were perfectly comfortable on the pull-out sofa (with it's own TV / Gaming system / DVD player / Surround sound) in the living room, and we had 2 bathrooms (fantastic when a woman on a trip with 3 guys!). The bed in the master is SOOOO comfy!! I hate to say it, but it's more comfortable than my SelectComfort mattress at home!! The condo is VERY WELL STOCKED with essentials and nice-to-haves... DISHWASHER, microwave, stove,toaster / convection oven, laundry, PLENTY of cooking tools and dishes, WINE OPENER... ;-) The unit is so comfortable inside, yet it offers something the others DON'T - prime real estate RIGHT ON THE WATER!! The patio is amazing, there is a surf spot right out front (for my husband) and the pool water just 20 steps from our living room. The wall-unit A/C was OUTSTANDING, though we didn't really need it much (the ceiling fans and cross-breeze was fantastic!). The condo saved us $$ by providing awesome boogie boards, snorkel equipment, beach chairs, umbrella, cooler....and we even bought a surf board here (rather than rent), which we will likely leave behind to "pay it forward). THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for an incredible vacation!! You have set the bar for any condos we rent on other islands.... MAHALO!! ALSO - Parking was SOOOO convenient! No stairs (just a few steps down from the parking garage), and unlike our neighbors on other floors / locations, we just looked out our wall-wall, floor-ceiling windows to start our day! Turtles and tidepools 20 feet from our living room, sandy beach 25 yards to the left! We can't recommend this unit more highly - and Sandy was INCREDIBLE to work with!!

Best Condo at Kona Reef!

I've stayed at several condos at the Kona Reef and A-7 is by far my favorite. It is located on a corner - with the swimming pool area on one side and the ocean on the other! It is bright, clean, well-supplied, and very professionally managed by the owners. Kona Reef is located close to activities and great restaurants, but far enough away to allow for quiet time on the lanai. You'll love this place!

We enjoyed your delightful condo! This is our first visit to the Big Island - we've been to several of the other islands earlier & decided to explore & included this island this time. We enjoyed the water activities, the morning and evening surfers and the great sunsets! It's alwasy great being in walking distance to shopping & eating areas as well. We enjoyed a quiet restful week along with a few day trips to see the sites! We were also able to take in the Kona Coffee Festival - how fun! Thanks for sharing your condo! The wamr sun & mild temps will be missed as we travel back to central Iowa! God Bless! Ray & Ginny - - - For us, it was an Anniversary Week . . 42 years of marriage!
