Surfers & Sunsets-Kona Reef Ocean Front Unit
Location
Car: Recommended
One of the best snorkeling beaches on the island is only a few miles south of Kona Reef. KaHalu’u Beach Park lets you get up close and personal with the Green Sea Turtles (protected don’t touch) and a large variety of tropical fish.
Some of our favorite places to go are:
• Kona Farmers' market - downtown Kona, Wed – Sun.
• Hilo Farmers' market - Wed., & Sat. only
• Akaka Falls near Hilo
• Waipio Valley (need 4 wheel drive if you actually go down into the valley – nice overlook for those like me that go for the view)
• Volcano National Park
• Hapuna Beach Park & many other beautiful beaches
• Several Kona Coffee Plantations, if you enjoy coffee
• Macademian nut farms
• Waikaloa Village shopping center
• South Point, the southernmost point in the US
• There are several historical sites on Alii Street alone
For eateries:
• Bite Me for fresh Seafood
• Costco, lots of local food items
• Kona Inn Restaurant
• Huggo's
• Volcano House
• Mrs. Barry's Kona Cookies
My favorite activity is to pick up some good steak or seafood, grill it on the gas grills located near the pool at Kona Reef and sit back and eat on the Lanai of our unit, relaxing and watching the waves, surfers, boats, dolphins and other marine life.
Owner info
Year Purchased: 2009
About the owner: Bruce & Karrie Ahrendt.. Currently living in Salem, Oregon where Bruce retired from the BLM and Karrie from the State of Oregon. We're both very involved with activities at church and in the building and now operation of a Community Hall in South Salem. Karrie is originally from Mililani, Hi on the island of Oahu. After 30+ years she's slowly making her way back to Hawaii.
Why the Owner Chose Kailua-Kona, HI, USA:
We chose the Big Island for it's more relaxed/laid back atmosphere, not to mention the many activities available on the Big Island.
Kona Reef Condos was the logical choice for a vacation rental location. Easy access to the entire Big Island as well as easy walking distance to downtown Kailua, Kona (it's shops, restaurants and Farmer's Market), as well as the beaches and other activities along Alii Drive.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo:
Kona Reef complex comes with a well maintained Jacuzzi and salt water swimming pool, gas grills and a central outdoor dining area with free wifi.
Our unit is located right on the ocean front. The lanai lets you enjoy relaxing or eating while watching the surfers, sea turtles, whales and spinner dolphins or possibly just a front row seat for the Hawaiian sunset.
We try and make our place feel a bit more like a home than just someplace you would rent to stay in. We provide those little extras like snorkle gear, a cooler, beach chairs, beach umbrella, sunscreen, boogie boards, even a pair of binoculars to get a better view of the ships as they sail past. For those needing internet access we have a private, secured wifi router for use inside our unit or on the lanai.
