Kona condo

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location. The property is typical of what u get in Kona. Great new split system air con although no controls - it’s either on or it’s off. Furniture is impractical- the chase just takes up space in the lounge and the bed although very comfortable is not very practical. It takes up the entire room and you need a ladder to get in and out of it. The curtains in the bedroom do not block out the external walkway lights at all. Storage cupboards in bedroom are full leaving no where to leave your clothes (as there is no space for your suitcase other than floor in lounge).
Response from VrboOwner on Oct 13, 2026
Aloha! Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're delighted you enjoyed the convenient Kona location, comfortable bed, and newly installed split air conditioning system! We appreciate your comments regarding the furnishings, bedroom curtains, and storage space. Furniture preferences and comfort can certainly vary from guest to guest, and we'll take your suggestions into consideration as we continue making improvements to the property. We also appreciate you bringing the bedroom lighting and storage concerns to our attention so we can evaluate potential solutions. Our goal is always to provide a comfortable and enjoyable stay, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. Mahalo for staying with us, and we hope to welcome you back to Kona in the future!

Kona weird condo

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location in Kona. Very nice pool. Very strange condo. Mirrors everywhere. Pink and red decorations with a tribute to Marilyn Monroe Lots of parking. If you don’t mind quirky little things then this should work for you.
Response from VrboOwner on Aug 25, 2026
Thank you for your review! We’re glad you enjoyed the great Kona location, beautiful pool, and convenient parking. This particular condominium definitely has a unique personality and décor style! The Marilyn Monroe theme, mirrors, and colorful design are intentionally part of the character of the property, and we understand that style can be a matter of personal preference. We do our best to accurately represent the condominium through the listing photos so guests can get a feel for its distinctive look before booking. Thank you again for staying with us, and we hope you enjoyed your time in beautiful Kona!

Perfect Kona Location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This condo has it al, location, location, location (and laundry!). The perfect location to walk to Kona where trust me, there is NO parking. The waves crash on the lava just under the lanai, the parking at the condo is cool and plentiful underground. The condo has everything you need and did I mention the location?! Perfect!!

Wonderful ocean Front!

This was the nicest VRBO I’ve stayed at through many visits to the Big Island! It was very clean, nicely decorated, clear and concise directions about everything having to do with the place, the lanai set-up was perfect, and communication with the property manager was excellent! We so very much enjoyed drinking coffee on the lanai every morning, watching the surfers and the occasional whale. We loved our time at Kona Reef!

New condo on the big island of Hawaii.

Quaint apartment with stunning ocean view

Apartment is a good size for our family of 3. The best features are the stunning view of the ocean from the balcony and the convenient location. Property management was welcoming and checked in with us throughout our stay. Apartment comes well equipped with everything you would need for a short stay. Overall a very pleasant stay for us.
