About Bruce Ahrendt
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.
Bruce Ahrendt purchased this condo in 2009
Why Bruce Ahrendt chose Kona Coast
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.
What makes this condo unique
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.

Kona Reef Jewel
Our nine night stay (June 2017) at B&K's condo definitely exceeded our expectations. We found the unit very clean, stocked with essentials, ideally located and everything in working order. I would advise checking in before heading for Costco for food and supplies as this unit is well stocked with supplies as well as some food items left by previous tenants. Downtown is only a short walk (downtown parking is very limited) to a large variety of restaurants as well as shops. I've stayed at Kona before and having to park downtown is a nightmare! The view from the lanai is fantastic and the green sea turtles, spinner dolphins and boogie boarders show up daily. The unit is well thought out and has snorkel gear, boogie boards, reef shoes, binoculars, books and very comfortable furniture. I've told our friends about the condo and will stay there again when we return. B&K have thought of everything!!!!
Kona Reef, Room A26
My husband and I spent 5 nights in June 2017 at Kona Reef. LOVED IT. We were in building A, third floor. The balcony opened up to the ocean just yards away. The view was incredible. The unit was clean and well organized. After booking and prior to arriving, I had wished that the bedroom also had a balcony that opened to the ocean. When I got to the unit I realized it didn't matter. We left the balcony screen doors open to get the roar of the ocean throughout the whole unit. The pool is beautifully located with an ocean view just beyond. The grounds throughout Kona Reef were well maintained with lovely tropical plants & flowers in bloom. The weather was cloudy most afternoons but the clouds would break for sunsets. BEAUTIFUL sunsets from the balcony & everywhere on the property. Can't wait to return.
This unit exceeded our wish list.
The unit was clean organized and filled with supplies that made out vacation exceptional. The view from the Lenai was wonderful and we enjoyed time watching the surfers. The system for getting into the unit and the availability of keys was very well planned and made it easy for us to immediately move in and enjoy the amenities of the facility. Initially we had a screen door that was broken, but a call to the caretaker quickly took care of the problem. Everyone associated with the unit was pleasant and made us feel comfortable. I especially appreciated the personal contact that we received from the owner Bruce Ahrendt. He obviously cares about his unit and the people that use it.
We look forward to a future stay in Kona and will definitely reserve this unit.
Perfect place for family vacations
We enjoyed our stay at Bruce and Karrie's condo. Wonderful view from the lanai, with 100% of the noise of the waves ! Prefect place to enjoy sunsets from the swimming pool or even the hot tub !
Everything you need for the daily life is available. Short and beautiful walk to the main attractions (market, restaurants), very convenient. I recommend this place.
Best stocked condo we've rented plus wonderful ocean exposure.
One of our favorite condos at Kona Reef. Well stocked with everything we needed. Loved watching the whales cavort in front of the lanai!
Couldn't be Happier -- Love this place!
This condo has it all! No need to bring beach towels, snorkel gear, cooler ...
Loved being able to cook and eat on the OCEAN FRONT Lani. Watched boogie boarders, turtles even dolphins right from the condo -- btw, there's also pair of binoculars to use!
Location -- perfect -- walking distance to Farmers Market, shops, restaurants, ... BEACH right next door. Great snorkel spots just down the road as well as around the island.
Highly recommend and can hardly wait to go back!
Map
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.
