Kona Reef family rentals

The condo was exactly as it stated and had more than we’ve ever seen in spices and dishes and everything you can imagine to cook with. My husband grilled downstairs at the grill every night and we ate out for lunches. We asked to check out a little bit later at 4 o’clock instead of 11 and the host was very very accommodating. We recommend this condo highly and when we come back to Kona, we will definitely stay there.

Its the little things that matter! This rental was PERFECT for our stay. This owner cares about their property, the quality and the subtle small things to make our 12 night stay worth every penny is evident in their property. This owner understands service, and care, from the moment we walked into to our cute welcome basket to the quality of the towels, linens and utensils which all served our needs exactly as needed. The upgrades to the refrigerator, washer/dryer and electronics gave us the desired comfort to make the stay so enjoyable we didn't want to leave on day 13. The condo is perfectly positioned to enjoy a coffee overlooking the whales in the morning and sunset in the evening on the very comfortable lanai. The organization of the outside "toys" afforded us to be able to use them with ease. There wasn't a si gle thing we didn't know its exact intention on how to use. We have stayed on a lot of VRBOs, including on this complex and this one by far exceeded expectations!

My family of four stayed at this Kona property during Christmas week, 2024. This condo is a wonderful two bedroom unit, facing the ocean. We spent many hours on the lanai, enjoying incredibile views of the ocean. The complex is quiet and peaceful, even though it is a short walk from shops and restaurants in downtown Kailua-Kona. The complex also has a pool (facing the ocean) and ample parking. The unit was well stocked with essentials, and the owner provided beach towels, chairs, toys, etc that we could use during our stay. I have stayed at many Vrbo properties in past. This unit was definitely one of my favorites. It is the first one where I thought the unit was actually nicer than the pictures. And by far, this unit has the best and most involved owner. He sent us all the information we needed for check-in and parking before we arrived, he answered every email or text promptly, and provided a wealth of information on local attractions Hawaii trivia. We loved our stay, and highly recommend this unit.

There are many places to stay in Kailua, but time after time, we have chosen this one. To us, it is just perfect. Dan, our host is easy to reach and is very kind.. There is new furniture in the living room! There is a lovely walk in shower with grab bars, and the bed is very comfortable. the whole unit is exceptionally clean and perfectly stocked.It's easy to be up early if you are on coast time, and there is nothing that we would rather do than sit outside in the comfortable chairs that are high enough to see over the rail, sip coffee, and watch the dawn come over the ocean,. Unless of coarse its sitting with something cold and delicious while the sun sets into the ocean right out in front.

The condo was so comfortable, with beautiful views of the ocean in close proximity, and a quiet complex to relax in. Well stocked, making it easy to feel at home. Would highly recommend!

This place was as good as if not better than advertised. Pictures are accurate, everything we needed was provided, cooking utensils, cookware as well as items in the bathroom. Communication was very easy. The entire complex was clean with two covered garages and an open parking lot. The biggest thing for me when looking for a place on the Hawaiian islands is the AC. This place has two split AC's, one in the bedroom and one in the living room. I can't stress how important AC is to me. Because of the high prices of electricity it is requested not to run the AC while not in the condo. I was skeptical about doing that but honored the request. We turned off the AC and spent the entire day on the Hilo side of the island, from about 9am until 7pm and when we returned it was still cold inside. From that moment on I had no problem turning the AC off while we were out exploring the island. We walked from the condo to shop and eat on Ali'i Drive which can save you a lot of money because parking is very expensive. Our view on the lanai was fantastic. We were always in the shade regardless of the time of day. I noticed other places on Ali'i Dr that faced the west had direct sunlight into their places which can be hot and also explained why I hardly saw anyone enjoying their lanai during the day. That was not the case at this place. Always comfortable on the lanai. Btw, the sunset was beautiful from the grounds. When we return to the Big Island this will be the first place we look for.

Great patio, nothing between it and the shoreline. Sunset over the water. The unit was fine, bring coffee. Small rocky beach next to the property, good for getting wet. Pool area is nice. Surfing out front most days. Nothing really walkable.

Nice, clean condo on a quieter end of Kailua Kona, but easy to drive to restaurant area on Ali’i and grocery stores in the surrounding area. Could walk it if we were younger ;) Well stocked kitchen, nice view from balcony and we got to hear and see pretty strong waves, as well as see some surfers!
