About this property

Kona Reef#A1: Sand & Surf Beachfront Corner, No Stairs

Kona Reef A1 is one of those rare legacy properties that simply cannot be recreated today. Arguably the premier ground-floor corner residence at Kona Reef, this beautifully remodeled 2-bedroom, 2-bath oceanfront condo sits directly beside Honl’s Beach, with the Pacific Ocean and shoreline quite literally in your front yard.

What makes A1 extraordinary is its position. As a ground-floor corner unit on the opposite side of the resort from the pool, it feels remarkably private and removed from the activity of the complex. Step outside your lanai and you are immediately immersed in the oceanfront setting. No elevators. No long hallways. No looking over other units. Just the shoreline, tropical grounds, Honl’s Beach and the Pacific stretching out in front of you.

Beachfront properties like this are exceptionally difficult to find in Kona. Here, every main living space and both bedrooms connect you to the ocean. Watch surfers at the break directly offshore, outrigger canoes pass by, dolphins play in the distance, whales breach during season, and some of the most spectacular sunsets Hawaiʻi has to offer—all without leaving the condo.

Honl’s Beach, famous as the birthplace of the boogie board, is directly beside the property. In the other direction, the restaurants, shops, nightlife and waterfront of historic Kailua-Kona are just a short walk away. You can experience the heart of Kona without sacrificing the feeling of having your own private oceanfront retreat.

Inside, A1 has been beautifully remodeled with a modern split AC system, quartzite countertops, custom cabinetry, stainless-steel appliances, a live-edge dining table, full-size washer and dryer, Smart TVs, ceiling fans and thoughtfully selected island-inspired finishes. The covered lanai is furnished for long mornings over Kona coffee, afternoon lounging and unforgettable sunset evenings.

The condo includes two bedrooms and two bathrooms and accommodates up to six guests, with a fully equipped kitchen and beach essentials including chairs, towels, an umbrella and snorkel gear.

You can spend the day exploring the Big Island, walk into Kona for dinner, or simply stay right here and let the ocean provide the entertainment.

Kona Reef A1 isn't an ordinary vacation rental. It is one of Kona's truly special oceanfront locations: a private-feeling ground-floor corner residence where the beach, ocean and Kona lifestyle come together right outside your door.

Great location, walkable to Huggo's, Oceans, Black Rock pizza and Lava Java. The beach access soooooo close. The sunset views were perfect. The only complaint was that the pool was heated, only cause it was so hot outside it wasn't a cool down to get in the pool. But for a complaint not a big deal it was still great. Views from the lanai provided.

We had a great time in Hawaii but the highlight was the view from the lanai. We spent hours out there watching the birds, the boogie boarders, the boats and especially the sunsets. The location was a big plus; it was great to be able to walk to the market, shops and restaurants.

Excellent location. Perfect place for our first family vacation with our adult children. Loved that they could walk into town. The lanai had the best view of the Big Island Sunset. The kitchen had everything necessary to cook a nice dinner in. Had everything you could possibly need for your stay.

Well stocked kitchen with an amazing sunrise and beach view! Appliances all worked well. The furniture inside and out was beautiful and comfy. We enjoyed walking every day for shopping, exercise and going to restaurants. It was hard to leave sometimes because we enjoyed watching the dolphins, surfers etc right from the lanai. There were so many snorkels and masks that our kids enjoyed- in the awesome pool and at the beaches. This was one of our favorite condos anywhere. Thanks for sharing with our family! Amazing sunsets and memories made. Aloha and mahalo!
