I will definitely book this unit again! Everything was as listed and we had a wonderful time. Everything was comfortable, well appointed and our communications with the owner were responded to immediately. I love Hawai’i and would find this unit comfortable enough to live in full time!!

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!

The unit and most everything in it is old. A good modernization would make the property much more appealing. Location is great, view is as advertised.

Roomy condo had everything we needed. Amazing view, great location, comfortable inside and out on the lanai. Really really pleased. Even a nice desk if you HAD to work. Good beach accessories stashed in the closet: noodles, mats, chairs, boards, umbrella, cooler, fins and goggles too. I should re-book for next year now that I think about it...

The condo is very clean and functional. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need even if you decide to cook. The shining light, of course, is the location. Right on the ocean and easy walking distance to anything in Kailua.

We booked this on short notice because our dissatisfaction with the Marriott in Waikoloa. Overlooking the water, well equipped, great location close to Kailua/Kona/all amenities. Cannot recommend this home more highly. Hope to return in ‘25.

A simple and more than adequate space, but the music of the ocean was soothing morning and especially at night. Will miss the lullaby of water and waves.

This was a fantastic vacation and the place and location was fabulous. The kitchen was excellent and had all the things you needed. The coffee pot that was drip which was a challenge for me but worked great. The lanai was fabulous with the best view ever and we were able to see whales and dolphins and a turtle it was all just amazing so this is a great place. Great memories I would absolutely go back loved it.

Nothing beats the location of this condo, just a short walk to downtown Kona. Condo was very clean and the check in/out process was extremely easy. Tisha is a very responsive host, I had to reach out to her on Thanksgiving day and she responded within a couple minutes!

Outstanding property and thoroughly enjoyable stay, as location to Kailua-Kona and ocean/beach view was stellar. Condo amenities included an extremely well equipped kitchen, convenient laundry area (stacked washer/dryer), and a well designed walk-in shower and bathroom. Decor throughout was visually pleasing, and every room was stocked with an abundance of essentials. Would definitely stay here again!!!

We just spent 14 days at the Kona Reef in F-26 what a fabulous condo. You can see the ocean from the lani and watch the surfers and dolphins. They have enough dishes to make a meal if you choose to. We used this condo many times and it never disappoints us.

Kona Reef is one of our favorite places to stay in Kona. Location is within walking distance of shopping and places to eat.
This particular condo has a good view of the waves and the ocean. The owners have nicely remodeled the entire unit. It’s open and bright. The kitchen is well stocked.
Everything was as described. Except the view. It changes every night and that keeps me coming back! Enjoy it

We had a great time staying in this lovely condo. Lanai opens to a nice beach view from where you’ll hear the gentle waves. Everything was nice and tidy, well stocked and prepared.
Communication was a breeze too. We loved every part of our stay!

The unit is comfortable the balcony view is beautiful the location on Ali’i drive is close to town and within walking distance. We were surprised by the amount of traffic noise at night on Ali’i Drive, nothing that can be remedied but something to be mindful of. We enjoyed our stay.

What a fantastic unit! Sunsets from the lanai were perfect! And a 10 minute walk into town makes this a great stay! The host took care of a couple of issues so it will be just what we look forward to next time! It could use a deep clean (baseboards, patio, etc) but wasn't that bad! A/C worked (once we figured it out!) Pool and spa were in great shape as was the entire complex. Can't go wrong with this condo!!

Steve and Amber's condo is just absolutely fabulous. It was a home away from home for us. The welcome gifts of chocolates and coffee were a fantastic touch. The condo is perfect, has a perfect view and is in a perfect location. Hopefully we will be able to come back one day. Thank you Steve and Amber.

We loved our stay at Kona Reef Condos! The location was excellent with a short walk to coffee and dinner in the morning, and the beach around the corner. This unit in particular has exceptional views and really enjoyed sitting on the lanai drinking wine and watching the boogie-boarders while the sun set.
The unit is a bit dated but comfortable and had everything we needed. We used the kitchen to cook breakfast each morning and enjoyed eating out on the lanai.
The bed was comfortable and the AC and fan were a lifesaver to keep us cool while we slept.
The unit has various beach chairs, snorkle gear, umbrella and cooler. The umbrella was a life-saver when we went to Hanapa Beach for the day. The cooler was a bit small and "well used" (has lost the zelcro to stay closed) but kept our snacks cold while we traveled the island. We attempted to use the fins to swim at Honl Beach next door (which is quite rocky and water shoes would be good to use), but the back strap was broken.
The condo was easy to find, easy to access, and we had no issues during our stay. It was a big bonus to have the washer/dryer in unit (as compared to staying at a hotel). Oh, and the pool is also a really nice bonus!
All in all, really enjoyed our stay!

Property was clean and set up well for us. We used it as a staging center for our day adventures. It had towels and plenty of beach gear, and the patio was perfect for gazing at the ocean and reading. I appreciated having air conditioning to take the edge off the afternoon sun. The bathroom fan is pretty noisy but that’s a minor inconvenience.

I started here with my husband and two kids, aged 11 and 7. We chose this place because of the pool, free parking, and its proximity to Kona (an easy walk) and the beach (Hon'l Beach, basically next door). They had a well stocked kitchen (dishes, spices, etc) and we also really appreciated the beach items (chairs, cooler, umbrella, fins, goggles). We had a minor maintenance issue/question and they sent someone right out to look at it. Highly recommended, zero complaints.

Had a wonderful 6 night stay at Kona Coast. Had one small issue with the unit smelling a bit of mold, however, after speaking g to the management, they came out and cleaned out the air filter to the AC unit and the problem was resolved. Thank you for the quick action.

The place was a great size and a great location with a beautiful view. However the place is outdated with a couple upgrades. The tv is not a smart tv, so no Netflix, YouTube or steaming of any kind even with mobile device. The place is clean in common places, but is dirty up above, in oven and under chair in living room. They give only 1 ply toilet paper and the bedroom never gets dark. I took pics of everything. This was the third time to the island and have stayed in the same place the last couple times. With this place you are paying for the view. Cleanliness is not a priority which is a deal for me.

For the last 6 years we’ve been coming to Hawaii for Thanksgiving. This year we stayed on the big island in this updated condo. Amazing sunset views, great pool that sits just right next to ocean. The unit has everything we needed. Particularly fond of the deck, shower and kitchen. Plus a brand new washer and dryer. The owners have clearly thought about what travelers might need. There was even a yoga mat and several of coolers for the beach. Would definitely come back.

Remarkable Condo!!! Amazing location and wonderful amenities. Walking distance to shops, dining and beaches. Condo was immaculate with beautiful ocean and sunset views, upgraded appliances and very comfortable. Had everything we needed with added bonus of beach chairs, cooler and accessories. Pool was beautiful with lots of lounge chairs and BBQ area. Property was very well maintained, with ample parking. Would definitely stay again and recommend this unit to anyone wanting to stay on the Big Island.

We loved the location (corner unit, ground floor, right on the ocean). The condo is a short walk from central Kona for coffee, restaurants, bars, and shopping and even closer to places like the Royal Kona. The cupboards are amazingly well-stocked with the basics food wise and for having fun at the beach (towels, chairs, umbrella, sunscreen, etc.). The kitchen and living room space is perfect for four (my wife and I stayed for a week with my parents). The patio furniture is comfy and the shade is nice in the afternoon. The A/C works pretty nicely for escaping the hear. Parking is easy for the rental car, too.
