The location is excellent!! Lanai overlooks the ocean which is wonderful! There are palm trees blocking the sunset so to see it we had to walk down to the grounds. This wasn’t such a bad thing though because it seems that there is always a sunset celebration there. We didn’t choose this property. We were placed here by the Kona coast vacations booking agent because the one that we chose was still under repair. When booking we had been assured that the one we chose would be completed and ready for guests but that wasn’t the case. This was a little disappointing. They did however give a minor discount due to the change and we were placed in a similar room minus the sunset in the same complex but different building. This is the second year that we have stayed in Kona Reef and choose it because of the location. It is easy to walk to Honli beach, enter the ocean and walk to the waterfront area of Kailua Village. This room was clean upon arrival but had a ‘closed up’ smell. The first impression would have been much better had it been freshened up the day we arrived. The kitchen has absolutely everything we needed except food and a water filter pitcher. We didn’t except either of those. Loved the fact that there was everything we needed for a day at the beach as well as laundry soap for doing our laundry.

We’re glad you enjoyed the excellent location, ocean-view lanai, and easy access to Honls Beach and Kailua Village. We apologize for any inconvenience the relocation may have caused.

The view is fantastic! Nice clean condo. Close to town. Lots of fun stuff to use such as chairs umbrella, snorkle gear. Kitchen well stocked. Did not use pool, but looked nice. BBQs which we used a lot. Stayed at Kona Reef before and will stay again. Can’t beat location and price!

Perfect location

We have stayed at Kona Reef a few times. Love the location and close proximity to restaurants and shopping. Love the lanai. Unit itself needs updating. Air conditioner is old and very loud. It was not as clean as other units we have stayed in.

Need better instructions on how to use tv. Couch had to be pulled out to sit on then we could not push it back in. The condo was a great location very quiet. View was the best.

Aloha! Thank you for your feedback! We are so sorry to hear you had difficulty with one of the TV's. If you do have a chance to stay with us in the future, just give us a call if you have any issues and we can walk you through it, or send someone out to trouble shoot. As for the sofa, it is a brand new sofa with a lounge. We are not sure what needed to be pulled out for seating. Perhaps you pulled out the sofa sleeper part? In any case, we apologize if it was difficult for you and would have been happy to resolve it while you were here. We do hope to see you again in the future! Mahalo

Sunsets are spectacular from the comfort of the lanai

We've stayed at the Kona Reef several times. The property is perfect for a quick swim and lounge by the pool. The BBQ area is comfortable and inviting. The evening sunset vigil by the residents is a lovely experience. The one bedroom units are cozy for two. We appreciated having some spices, oils and coffee filters from other visitors stays. In January humpbacks cruised on by. The dolphins were a little more shy and or the high surf hid their daily swim by the complex.

The condo is amazing! The location is perfect… Just a few minutes walk from town. The view from the balcony is absolutely beautiful! The only negative I saw, the place could use a new air conditioning unit. The radiator on the current unit is rusting onto the balcony and leaves quite a mess.

We loved this condo, the view from the lanai ...

Rating Details: I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. I was very happy with the location. The vacation rental was spotless. The property manager was very helpful. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved this condo, the view from the lanai was fantastic. We saw cruise ship, submarine and lot of surfers. Also liked the sandy beach right next door to the property. The cost of the condo wasn't over the top good value.

We really enjoyed our stay. Great oceanfront view. Condo is sufficiently stocked for our needs. Sofa bed is comfortable. King bed is awesome! Main complaint is cleanliness. The floors were filthy. It needed to be mopped. We ended up doing the cleaning ourselves. Overall, good stay. Will come back.

Fully Stocked & Incredible Location

We were thoroughly impressed by how well stocked the condo was in the kitchen, bathroom, and beach supplies like boogie boards folding chairs, and a cooler. The view was absolutely gorgeous, peaceful, and quiet. The pool area had lounge chairs on the grass facing the ocean which made a perfect spot to watch the sunset. The A/C cooled down the entire condo even though it was located in the living room only. The wifi was a little slow and I didn't have great cell connection, but overall that didn't disrupt our stay at all. We would absolutely stay here again and plan to in the future!
