Private, top floor, absolute oceanfront, lovely one bedroom condo at the highly acclaimed Kona Reef Resort!

Modern Appliances:

• Brand New Efficient, Quiet Daikin 24 BTU Air conditioner to cool the entire suite!
• Dish washer,
• Washer/dryer in the unit
• Stove
• Refrigerator
Elegant, large wall to wall mirrors to bring the beautiful ocean and sunset view into the living room! Spacious absolute oceanfront lanai (balcony) for romantic dining and year round sunset viewings.

Why Kona Reef:

• Conveniently located along the prestigious Alii Drive in the heart of Kona town.
• It’s a 5 minute walk in your flip-flops down a low traffic side street (along the ocean) to the village where you will enjoy shopping, dining, nightlife, and other attractions in historic Kailua Village. Walking is better than being caught in downtown traffic, while searching for an elusive parking spot.
• It’s only a few steps to the romantic Honl's Beach; offering snorkeling on calm days, sandy area for kids and sunning, and a hugely popular surf spot when the waves are up.
• It’s one of the few Resorts to offer a heated, salt-water pool adjacent to the ocean.
• It also has a jet spa, barbecue facility & pavilion, elevators, on property and free under and above ground parking for guests, in a zone where parking is a valued commodity. It is difficult to find free parking in Kona town. Kona Reef Resort is in the heart of Kona town. It is only about 10 mins walk to town. No need to drive to town and try to find a place to park or pay for parking. This makes Kona Reef Resort uniquely desirable and sought after!

Why Top Floor, Ocean Front is best:
(Kona Reef has elevators with only a few stairs on each landing):

• Best views of ocean and year round sunsets from lanai, living area and kitchen.
• Best privacy; which is compromised on the first and second floor units.
• Best security; leave the lanai door open 24 hours to enjoy ocean breeze and sound.
• This Ocean front suite is 23 feet from (7 meters) the shoreline. You can watch the surfers, with occasional sightings of whales and dolphins.

What’s Included:

• Bedding includes a California King and a queen size sofa-bed with deluxe mattress in the living room, accommodating up to 4 guests.
• Romantic décor.
• Fully equipped kitchen.
• Bath tub, with a shower.
• Soaps, toiletries, and hairdryer.
• Beach gears, beach towels, cooler.
• 48" flat screen LED smart TV in the living room and 40" new flat screen TV in the bedroom for your enjoyment.
• Living room has ceiling fan and brand new efficient, cool, quiet air conditioner to cool the entire suite. Bedroom also has ceiling fan over the California King canopy bed giving a comfortable and soothing breeze while you sleep.
• Washer and dryer in the suite, and all utilities.
• Professional, licensed property manager.
• Professional cleaning crew.

I have lived in Kona for 30 years. I purchased this condo because Kona Reef has the best location in Kona and because top floor, ocean front is the best location in the Kona Reef Resort. I take pride in my condo. I want my guests to:

• enjoy a comfortable, hassle free stay,
• feel they had one of their best ever vacations, and
• feel they received high value, at a fair price.

Kona Reef Suite D32 is managed by a bona fide property management company in Kona. The office is in the heart of town on Alli Drive, only 10 mins’ walk from Kona Reef. We hire a professional cleaning crew.

If you are looking for a superb location, breathtaking direct oceanfront view with year round sunset, an elegantly decorated suite at reasonable rates with a team of efficient, friendly and helpful staff to see to it that your check-in is seamless and your stay is comfortable and enjoyable, you have come to the right place! Look no further! Book now before your requested dates are filled!

We had the absolute best time at this condo at the Kona Reef. We were in town for our dear friends’ wedding and couldn’t have asked for a better unit. The furniture and decor were awesome. Our hosts could not have been more accommodating, you could not ask for better views and the pool and spa area are perfect. We will definitely be back.

Host was a lovely person who was eager to be helpful. Apartment was very small with huge furniture. Little to no closet space, master bedroom bed was too talk to feel comfortable. No place to put luggage other than the living room. Only one beach towel, no welcome kit. 3 garbage bags for an 8 day stay, no bath products. This unit has an awesome lanai and wonderful potential, but in its current state I wouldn’t rent it again.
Stayed 8 nights in Nov 2025
Response from VrboOwner on 18 Dec, 2025
Your points are well taken. We always provide starter kit & have at least a few beach towels in the unit. My managing agent will find out from the cleaning crew why this was not in your case. We would have been more than happy to bring them to you if we had known to ensure your comfort. Our inspection team should have double checked to ensure the supplies were all there prior to your arrival. We apologize and will do better. The small bedroom is a fact at every Kona Reef one bedroom unit. Some owners opted for queen beds to allow more room for luggage. We have a cal king as we believe guests prefer the comfort of the largest bed. The thick quality Sealy mattress & a mattress pad for extra comfort are likely added to its height. Kona Reef is on prime real estates in the beautiful resort town of Kona where space is at a premium. In return, it offers unparalleled ocean front view (less than 25 ft. from the ocean) away from the hustle & bustle, yet has the unbeatable convenience of easy walking distance to restaurants, shops, tourist attractions & nightlife, etc. Other condo complexes might afford larger units but most require long commute time to Kona town in heavy traffic and none have the jaw dropping unobstructed ocean front view that Kona Reef can offer. Therefore, Kona Reef direct ocean front units, especially the few on the top floor such as mine, remain the most sort after. Happy you enjoyed the lanai and the spectacular ocean front view of my unit. Aloha, Owner
