About this property
D35 Kona Reef - True Oceanfront & Top Floor! AC throughout!
Located just outside the heart of Kailua- Kona, this ocean front condo is your ticket to paradise! Just minutes from town, a short walk will take you to some of the finest dining and shopping destinations on the Big Island. Our modern, updated condo serves as the perfect home away from home, allowing our guests to enjoy everything the Big Island has to offer.
After a full day of snorkeling, beach combing, hiking, volcano exploring or just relaxing in the sun, return home to kick back and relax on the private lanai with a full ocean front view. Watch sea turtles swim in the tide pools below or see humpback whales and dolphins frolic in the ocean as the sun dips into the sea, creating breathtaking sunsets.
The unit is air conditioned throughout, with separate zone controls for the living room and bedroom. With a lanai that directly overlooks the ocean, you need not be concerned about noise from the pool and cabana area. The only sound you’ll hear is the waves as they crash against the expansive reef. Our top floor location also ensures the utmost privacy and security for the lanai area.
We have taken care to provide a variety of recreational items for your use and enjoyment including: Beach towels Beach chairs Beach umbrella Beach mat Boogie boards Sand pail & tools Backpack cooler Binoculars Free WiFi
Need a break from your vacation? The complex is adjacent to Honl's beach and our unit comes with a fully equipped kitchen, access to popular streaming services, with BBQ grills, a pool and hot tub on site. A washer and dryer is provided for your convenience.
Our condo is ideal for a romantic getaway for two, though the sleeper sofa will allow up to four guests. The bathroom has a walk-in shower with no bathtub, so the unit may not be suitable for families with very young children that require a tub for bathing.
There is an elevator on site, but a set of stairs must be navigated to reach units on the top floor, so it may not be suitable for guests with accessibility concerns. No smoking and no pets allowed.
Please note that if you choose to split your payments, the final payment is due two weeks prior to check-in. The final payment does not process automatically. You will receive notice via email requesting the final payment, so please make sure to take care of any remaining balance using the link provided.
***The Kona Reef has notified owners that there is going to be a Structure and Resurfacing project to repair areas of compromised spalling, water damage and corrosion due to continuous exposure to water and sea air from January 2026 to April 2027. I have blocked our unit from rentals during the timeframe our part of D building is scheduled to be worked on, but the actual timeline is subject to change based on progression of the project. The pool/cabana area will not be affected, aside from noise. If you choose to book during this timeframe, be aware that there may be extraneous noise from construction in the complex.***
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

The condo was stocked with everything we could possibly use. But the location was the star. Amazing ocean view and within walking distance to llots of shops and restaurants.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a positive review, Denise! I'm glad you enjoyed your stay!
We often stay at Kona Reef for the beautiful views and easy walking access to Kona town. This condo was very comfortable and clean - a nice bed, good air conditioning, all the things we needed in the kitchen and easy check out. It was easy to text with the host with quick response. Only disappointment was the grills near the pool weren't working great, but that is a Kona Reef problem. Mahalo!

The location was outstanding! The condo was well appointed with everything need for a great vacation. Since we prefer eating in rather than going out, the kitchen had everything we needed plus more. I really appreciated having a washer and dryer in the unit. We loved the place so much, we've already booked for next year. Thank you!

Usually owners at Kona Reef have welcome baskets. Room had dirty floors underneath couch, bed, drawers, and night stands. Otherwise place has excellent pool and oceanfront scenery.

We loved everything about this waterfront condo! It was fully stocked with everything we needed! The view was incredible! It’s walkable to many great shops and restaurants. Our hosts were very easy to communicate with and we were so grateful how they opened up their home for us. We would love to come back!

Excellent location, beautiful condo, equipped with beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers. Fabulous lanai to have coffee in am and overlook ocean in pm. Stunning - I could have sat and watched the waves break on the ocean rocks all day. Highly recommend!

Great clear instructions. Esp loved the keyless code entry. Well supplied. Clean. Marvelous view. Very quiet in top floor besides ocean! FYI couldn’t find top sheet to pull out or pillow cases. Booked for next year!

This place earns a top rating because of its sensational view; cleanliness; furnishings and amenities; superior proximity to shops and dining and owner responsiveness. It has everything we needed and nothing that we didn't need. Everything works, we were comfortable with the sea breeze coming through by day and with the A/C at night. We would definitely stay here again.

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review, Mike! I'm glad you enjoyed your stay!
The view was amazing, the condo was fully loaded, it was great having a washer and dryer and the bed was so comfortable. My only suggestion is to put a beach recliner on the balcony so people can doze off while enjoying the outstanding view! Thanks so much!!
