About this property

KONA REEF D-32: Absolute Oceanfront, Top Floor, Private

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

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, 24 hours security on property and lots of free parking for guests, in a zone where parking is a valued commodity.

Why Top Floor, Ocean Front is best:
(Kona Reef has elevators)

• Best views of ocean and 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 sofa-bed 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' new flat screen LED smart TV in the living room and 40' flat screen TV in the bedroom for your enjoyment.
• Living room has air conditioner and ceiling fan. Bedroom also has ceiling fan over the California King bed giving a comfortable and soothing breeze while you sleep.
• Washer and dryer, and all utilities.
• Professional, licensed property manager.
• Professional cleaning crew.

If you are looking for a superb location, breathtaking direct oceanfront view, 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!

New condo on the big island of Hawaii.

We’ve been to this property several times over the years, as well as several others. Kona Reef stands out to me. Central location, close to pretty much anything you might want. I highly recommend it.

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!

Absolutely could not top the ocean view from the room. Sunsets were spectacular. Check in and out process was a breeze, property manager’s communication prior to and during my stay were excellent.
