Why the Owner Chose Kona Reef
The first time we visited Kona we fell in love with its small town, authentic Hawaiian feel. There is so much to see on the Big Island.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
The Kona Reef is the only condo property right in town. You can walk to countless restaurants, shops and nightlife or just stoll through town in the evening for exercise and to take in the sights, sounds and music.
However, if you want piece and quiet, on our oceanfront lanai all you hear is the surf and the sunsets are fantastic. (from many of the units at the Reef you have go down to the beach or pool to see the sunset). We also have WiFi so you can surf the web while you watch the surf. There's never a dull moment with surfers and boogieboarders to watch, parasailers, cruise ships, turtles and fish.
Also, the moon reflecting on the water at night is mesmerizing.
Our unit also differs from many vrbo units in that we have on-site management, maintenance and cleaning staff. Also, we are only a phone call away if you have any questions. (You have unlimited long-distance calling to US and Canada from our unit).
Also, the Kona Reef has a very nice Oceanfront Pool and BQ area with 4 large gas grills and numerous tables. There's also lots of covered parking and a great spirt of Aloha throughout the property.
Don the Beachcomber Restaurant, and great Happy Hour (MaiTai's & great Pina Coladas!) also Royal Kona Luau.
Fancy restaurant or adjoining great beach bar with casual dining and great local music on the waterfront.
Rent Mask, Fins, Snorkel, Net Bag, No-Fog, and Fish I.D. Map for $10 Week - 2 minute walk from condo.
Great Breakfast at Bongo Ben's - locals favorite and nightly live music. Jack's Diving Locker - Scuba Trips or Night Snorkel with Manta Rays.
Wed thru Sun - Fresh papayas, pineapples, mangoes, vegetables, fruits, local treats, art, jewelry, souvenirs, flowers, coffee, mac nuts - Great prices.
Lots of shops, restaurants, Wyland Gallery and next door is Bubba Gump's
Kona Pier where Cruise Ships tender passengers and Start & Finish of Ironman Triathalon World Championship every October. Many water tours leave from pier (submarine tour, dinner cruises, reef or whale watching
Shopping center with groc. store, drug store, banks, bowling alley, bakery - next to Hilo Hattie's Store.

Aloha,
My husband and I live in Southern California and love to travel, bicycle and dance. We are both retired and I am a glass artist. We love spending time in Kona just to relax. It's so nice to sit on the lanai and enjoy your morning coffee (free full-size bag of Kona cofee supplied with our complements). We hope you'll enjoy our home-away-from-home as much as we do.

JUST PERFECT

What a perfect stay for our 48th anniversary. This condo is right on the ocean, but if big waves bother you at night, they won't here because of where the bedroom is situated. Turtles, many kinds of fish, surfers, fishermen can all be seen from the lanai. We walked to eat and shop. We spent a day fishing with the Ihu Nui crew, Captain McGrew and Carlton. Gary caught a 423 1/2 pound blue marlin for his 70th birthday and was a very happy guy. We snorkeled at "A" bay and at the Mauna Lani bay. Because of over touristing, snorkeling at Kahalu'u Beach Park is no longer recommended by U of Hawaii, so the reef can recover. Was sorry to hear that, because it was also one of our favorite places. We've stayed in Kona about 10 times and this condo is the best. We had a great time.

The vacation my wife and I experienced at this condo unit was one of the best we have had in our long list of vacation rentals. Any review of a rental Condo needs to be done in two parts. The first is about the complex and the second about the individual unit. The complex is well VERY well built and maintained, as are the public areas. The staff was very cordial and helpful. We experienced the 3/11/11 Tsunami while there and the management company (Castle) was cleaning and repairing as soon as the all clear was announced. There were about 16 first floor units that received major damage and by the end of the first full day the grounds were free of most visual signs. Even the pool was open within two days. The only issue I could find with the complex would be the elevators. If a person HAS to rely on an elevator for floor access, they should inquire about the elevator mid-level landing (with stairs) configurations. The unit itself was PERFECT for the two of us. It was VERY well equipped and maintained and exactly as listed. Being on the forth floor, no Tsunami damaged was experienced. The prime location within the complex was just what we expected and received. What more could be said. Mahalo (thank you) to the Millers.

Everything about the place was very nice, including the price, except for the bottom sheet on the bed that didn't fit right. This place has an excellent view right on the ocean front in a well maintained complex with pool and ample outdoor area for sunning. We could see turtles feeding from the lanai while we had our morning coffee. The lounges on the lanai were very comfortable. Walking to town was a plus. We get our fruit and vegetables at the Farmer's Market. We do our snorkeling at close by Kahalu'u Beach Park where we have never failed to see turtles. Since we live in Western Washington and have a lot of rain, we appreciate the dry climate of the western side of Hawaii. We arrived on 11-29-2010 and left on 12-10-2010. The weather was great with temperature around 80 and no rain in the day time until the last day when we flew out. We will probably return to this unit the next time we visit and would recommend it to others.

The minute we walked out onto the very private, large lanai - the pounding surf directly below was a beautiful sight to behold! We often prepared meals in our kitchen & happily spent hours out on the lanai watching the waves & listening to the roar of the ocean. We saw huge turtles in the surf several mornings. Other's saw spinning dolphins not too far offshore. We enjoyed the cool weather & constant ocean breezes that flowed thru the condo with the front door and/or bedroom windows open. The unit was clean & well-maintained & very thoughtfully equipped with lots of extra homey touches - we felt very much at home. There are many terrific restaurants within walking distance. But our favorite was the family owned & run Orchid Thai restaurant - we split their $9.95 lunch specials & they are all delicious! Last time we were there our waiter "Charlie" gave us a bunch of orchids to take back to our condo. We bought ourselves "Hawaii's Birds" by the Hawaii Audubon Society at Walmart & took it with us everywhere - had fun identifying 21 species on this trip. We loved the saltwater pool down in the bbq area & enjoyed a swim every evening. Mahalo Helen & Ray for the Hawaiian music, the box of choc/macs & the Kona Coffee - really enjoyed it all! We hope to return some day soon.

My husband stayed here for four nights in April and it was absolutely perfect. The unit was clean, the bed was comfortable, and the view was unbeatable. We had lovely mornings on the lanai drinking coffee, and loved that it was an easy walk to town for dinner and drinks at night. We never used the A/C, just enjoyed the sound of the waves all night. The complex was very quiet while we were there, but with all the great beaches nearby we never made it down to the pool. Helen was very responsive and helpful when setting up the reservation. I can't recommend this place enough!

We just returned from a 15 day stay at the Kona Reef ....what a truly wonderful experience we had! We have stayed in Kona previously and this was, by far, the best and most enjoyable place we have stayed. The unit was fully stocked with everything we could possibly need.....we had to force ourselves at times to even leave the lanai! The views were breathtaking and the whale & dolphins and surfers were very entertaining. The lanai was so private, we felt like we were the only ones in the complex at times. The Kona Reef has a wonderful pool and cabana area that can be used your outdoor cooking if you choose. I have never seen a place so well maintained and clean. We were VERY impressed. Can't wait to go back!

Helen provided my wife and I with a wonderful experience! The condo was so very accomodating. We needed absolutely nothing more than what was provided. The condo was well maintained, clean, and comfortable. We never used the A.C., just the perfectly located fans and the ocean breeze. Perfect! The view is outstanding! We watched whales, and spinner dolphins. We watched the UFO parasailing, cruise ships, surfers, wave runners, and the natural beauty. The grounds for the condo were just what we needed! Saltwater pool, great sunbathing in the pool area and the grass area! You could sit in the sand or walk the rocks. We watched a local man catch fish for several days. The BBQ area was perfect. There were four nice grills to use, and we used them! In fact, a nice man offered us some fresh tuna he caught earlier that morning! We couldn't say no. We grilled it, and It was absolutely delicious! If you don't mind walking a few blocks into town, you can't beat the location of this place! Everything is available, from food to shoes. This was my 6th time here at Kailua, Kona at various locations, and it was the best! I could talk endlessly about our stay, but you should experience it for yourself! Don't hesitate to stay here! Aloha, and mahalo Helen!!

Have stayed in this unit for numerous years. Has everything you could possibly need (full kitchen, washer/dryer) and very comfortable bed. We do not even check any luggage. Great view of whales (in season) and sunsets from the lanai. The Kona Reef location is perfect with an easy 5-10 minute walk into town.

What a beautiful condo! We are here 10 days and totally enjoying paradise! There is a abundent sealife to watch, sea turtles, dolphins plus cruise ships coming in, para sailing, dive boats, long boats, surfers, the submarine diving, enjoying breakfast, lunch, dinner all at waterside from the lani! Actually, you never have to leave the condo is you don't want to and still see it all! Sunsets are fabulous! Can't beat the location, so close to town but very private! Kona Reef is a wonderful complex, well maintained with gorgeous salt water pool, spa and BBQ area. Thank you so much for sharing you fabulous condo with us!
