  Alex and Michelle have spared no effort to make you feel welcome. Although Alex claims he has not worked in the hospitality business, this is his calling in life! The condo and the ocean front location is as presented in this listing. Don't bother to even bring Hawaii information books with you as the condo has several books regarding the island and what is available for you to do. I fully second the wonderful comments others have made so will not repeat them. My wife and I would not hesitate to do a return visit if and when we return to Hawaii. Great job Alex and Michelle!

  Owner response: Thank you for the great review Mike. It's so nice to know that our guests had a good experience staying in our condo.

  One of the best reveiws you can give any vacation condo is repeated stays. This is our fourth stay in five years which probably sums it all up. We were not suprised at the number of repeat guests from around the world that stay here based on reading the guest books. It is very apparent that Alex and Michelle care very much about their guests experience staying at their condo. Alex and Michelle are wonderful to work with and extremely helpful. From the time you walk in to the condo, you know you are welcome.....you are greeted with a breath taking view from your own lanai. I cannot say enough at how well maintained and how well outfitted this condo is. Everything from beach mats, snorkels, fins, masks, beach towels, and ice chests, to help you enjoy your stay. We feel just like it is "our" second home. The condo is very clean, tile and carpets are in great shape as well as the furniture. It has newer high end washer and dryer, recently replaced appliances, Linens and towels are recently replaced as well. The kitchen is completely outfitted. Anyway, you get the idea. This unit is a huge value in our opinion. The condo is on the second floor and it is about 30 feet from the ocean. You are able to leave the slider open and enjoy the tropical breeze all day long. We ate every breakfast on the lanai and watched the sunset almost every evening. Without a doubt, there is not a better veiw of the sunset in Kona than from this lanai. We loved it. Remember, location, location, location. This condo is a short walk to "down town" Kona on very safe....almost trafic free street. We walked every where in Kona.. We love staying here, I guess our repeated stays confirm that feeling. Thank you for sharing, Alex and Michelle! Kindest Regards, Bob & Jan Woodway WA

  We absolutely love the ocean front view! We see the Turtles and the whales right from the Lanai. We also enjoy the barbecues by the pool. We also like walking, and we are so close to town with all the restaurants and night life!

  We keep coming back to this beautiful ocean-front condo. After staying at several places in the islands over the years, we are happiest staying here. We are only 23 feet from the ocean and have all of the comforts of home. Alex and Michelle have made us feel so welcome. They've thought of everything. The condo is modern and well furnished and has everything we need to feel at home. We feel like the ocean is in our living room. Our favorite restaurants are just a short walk away. Whether you're going out for breakfast, happy hour, or dinner, you don't need to take your car out of the free parking structure. We also enjoy breakfast on the balcony or use the barbeque next to the pool to prepare dinner. We love this spot so much that we've booked our next three trips. We're now coming twice a year for 2 weeks each time. This really feels like our home away from home.

  Owner response: Thank you so much for your wonderful review of our condo. It is gratifying to know how much you have enjoyed our condo as your home away from home. It's so nice that you have already prebooked your future stays in our condo.

  I can't thank Alex and Michelle for the outstanding hospitality that they shared with us. They were very attentive to us on this stay. Told us of the coolest snorkeling place. The great places to eat. Made sure everything was ok there at the condo. I would stay here again. Coolest view of the ocean and sunset. Priceless!

  My husband & I stayed at this condo for a week in Sept 2012. During our vacation, we stayed at three other condos -- this one was by far the best. Very clean, private, bug-free, equipped with appliances, water toys, washer/dryer, a security screen door (nice touch to enjoy the cross breeze without worries), cooking spices. There are ceiling fans in the living room & bedroom, no AC needed.. Alex was very helpful ahead of time, answering all my questions, describing the resort and area. Also he tells his cleaning team to leave any in-date food at the condo, so we didn't need to buy butter, salad deressing, etc. In return we left some food there too, so check out the condo before shopping. The resrt itself was beautful & well-maintained, with both a large-sized pool & a hot tub. I swim laps, so the pool size is important to me. We used the barbecue a couple of times, which was also well-maintained. The resort is within walking distance of the "town", where you could eat, check out the night-life ,shop... I do advise a rental car though, as there is much to see & do on the island. Ocean front? Absolutely! We enjoyed our time on the lanai each morning & evening, watching the surfers. They were out in the ocean sunrise to sunset. There is a small beach next door, but not really good for swimmers -- very rocky bottom & rough waves (hence the surfers). We took a daytrip to a beach further north -- very nice. Pack your food and drink in the cooler supplied at the condo! While on Hawaii, we took a kayak/snorkeling trip to Cap't Cooks monument (best snorkeling we found; kayak with a tour company, don't do a boat!), horse-riding up country, daytrip to a beach, sightseeing, & took in some night-life in town. A great trip & a great place to stay. Would we come back to the same condo? Absolutely ! Do we recommend it to others? Absolutely yes! Alex, the only upgrade I would recommend to you is to have a ceiling light/fan combo on the lanai. It would be nice to read on the lanai after dark, & a fan would help with the breeze. Minor suggestion, but you did ask!

  The property was very clean. Everything we needed was at the condo. The owner was very helpful. Helped us find some wonderful restaurants. We love this condo and will be back and would recommend this place to all our friends. This place is perfect location and the view is breath taking looking at the ocean watching the whales and dolphins. Can not wait for next year when we go back.

  Owner response: I am so happy you both enjoyed yourselves in our condo and have already booked for next year. It will be nice to have you stay with us again.

  This condo was everything we had hoped for. Alex (the owner) was extremely helpful in answering all of our questions. The unit was wonderfully provisioned with everything we needed, including great snorkeling equipment and very comfortable beach chairs. We enjoyed breakfast on the lanai and were happy everyday to come back in time for the beautiful sunsets. The soothing sounds of the surf with the gentle breezes at night made for a perfect sleeping environment. We would be happy to come back and stay here every year! (but it is already booked!) Thanks, Alex, for sharing your piece of paradise!

  I cannot say enough good things about this fabulous property at Kona Reef owned by Alex and Michele. From the moment you walk in the door you feel like you have arrived in paradise. The condo is beautifully decorated and very modern with all the comforts of home. It is absolutely spotless. The kitchen is well equipped with everything that you need to prepare a first class gourmet meal which makes such a difference. I have stayed at places where kitchen tools have been marginal and you don't enjoy or find it awkward to prepare food. This is not the case here. The washer and dryer have recently been upgraded and are right in the unit for your convenience. That makes such a difference especially if you are a sports enthusiast or choose to pack lightly. There is snorkeling equipment, beach chairs and a cooler bag so you don't have to worry about renting these items for days when you go to the beach. I absolutely love the lanai overlooking the ocean. It's private and there is nothing better than waking up first thing in the morning with a cup of coffee or last thing at night with a fine glass of wine sitting on the lanai listening to the sound of the wave and just enjoying the spectacular view. It's also very close to town which is a very attractive feature so there is no need to have to drive all the time. As for the grounds and the pool area, they are immaculate. There is also a great barbecue area for your convevience. Would I stay there again? You bet! This will be our third time that we have booked at this wonderful condo. Alex, the owner is first class! If there is ever a problem which there isn't he is easily reached and very accomodating. It's our little piece of heaven and home away from home.

  This condo was a wonderful find. We were within walking distance to town, restaurants and many activities. Upon entering the condo, the sound of the water was soothing. We were right on the ocean. We could watch dolphin swimming, and many other activities on the ocean, right from our deck. The condo was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. The owner was very accessible throughout the entire planning timeframe until the end of our stay. We would highly recommend this condo for your vacation stay.
