Wonderful location and well stocked rental at Kona Reef. We spent a week at B7 and everything was clean and the unit had everything from boardgames, coolers, beach chairs and children's toys. Pool was wonderful and the view of the beach and sunset were amazing.

This location is incredible! The condo is older but quite nice. We spent most of the time on the lanai. The view is breathtaking. In the morning the water is so clear you can see many fish (especially the yellow tang) and even turtles.
The only thing I wish I knew before booking is that the beach here has such a strong current and that the shallow rocks are covered with urchins so the locals strongly advised me against swimming or snorkeling at this beach. We did have a car and were able to drive to a great snorkeling spot, but I was hoping to snorkel here. Otherwise, this is exactly as advertised.

The property is in a perfect location to enjoy the water & surrounding city amenities. It was so easy to check in and to get access to the pool. The pool is nice & is open until 10pm. The hot tub was great and there is plenty of grilling space. If I come back I’d love to stay here just in a different unit. The condo has everything you need it’s just faces homeless people on the beach.

Great place to stay when visiting Kona. Beautiful sunset views from the pool area and one of the best beaches on the island to surf and/or boogie board is right next door.

We’ve stayed at the Kona reef probably close to 15 times over the years in various units and enjoyed them all ,but this unite’s overall decor was simply beautiful,..almost afraid to walk on the teak flooring when first entering the unit lol
Very well appointed with everything you’d need for your visit ., we both agreed that overall d-38 was our favorite unit to date .,very clean and inviting.
We loved the privacy and views of the 4 th floor lanai .
Hope we get to stay here again next year !! Thanks for having us !!

Great place to stay. Oceanfront, we sat on the lanai listening to the waves and watching kids body surfing. Easy walk to restaurants and shopping.

Kathy’s condo was cool, comfy and clean and provided my daughter and I everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The pool and spa located on the beach were absolutely wonderful! The folks that we met at the resort were all friendly and Kathy was extremely accommodating! Great stay!

My wife and I spent a week here, celebrating her birthday. I booked this as a surprise trip so I had to do all of the planning in secret. This condo was exactly as advertised. We couldn’t have asked for anything more. It’s a perfect space for 2. The beach is literally steps away, just be aware that this a great sitting beach but due to the rocks, it’s hard to snorkel when the tide is out. Magic beach to the south is a better option if you want to snorkel. The walk into town is very quick and easy with lots of great dining options for any time of the day. The are also 2 farmers markets nearby with lots of local produce (try the “apple” bananas). Marni and her team have but together a great space and done a super job equipping it with everything you need for a stress free stay. We would definitely stay here again.

Third visit to Kona and the Kona Reef property. By far this was our favorite unit. Super clean, thoughtful layout and ample supplies. Ground floor a super plus! Parking is easy, close walk to town. Appreciate the communication with Vacasa management on check-in process and checking in on how things are going. Thank you for everything We will return!

Great property. Older complex but our unit was modern and very clean. View from balcony is what every Hawaii visitor wants.
Owner so easy to contact and quick responses. Would definitely stay there again. Only challenge can be parking if you return after 8 PM. Underground spots available but tight fit for medium to large autos.

The best review one can give is "we would come here again." The condo is small but perfect for a couple. The place could use some updating but who cares? It's a gorgeous view in a perfect location and all you need is supplied. Very much appreciated the excellent selection of Tupperware and the coffee maker. Just a few tips: one small flight of stairs to navigate. If you sleep with the window open you might be awakened by the birds or people throwing out trash. The bed is high and comfy with plenty of pillows. Not a lot of towels but they have an excellent washer and dryer. We rented a car and could always find a spot. Pantry had lots of random things like Pam and Salt and foil. Brita water pitcher in the fridge. No ice maker but ice trays provided. Great TV. AC will freeze you out and the ceiling fans are quiet. Bathroom gets hot (nonAC or fan) so shower with the door open. Hairdryer is good. Pool is lovely and the grilling area is great. Very glad we found C31!

This was our 3rd stay at the Kona Reef and the best condo so far. Clean. Gorgeous view of the sunset from the patio each night. Bed actually firm-ish! Beds in Hawaii are usually terrible and saggy but this mattress must be newer. Very happy about that. The only concern is that as of our stay this week first week of September there is construction in the unit next door. I’m talking table saw on the patio and drilling cabinets into the wall directly attached to our bedroom starting at 8:15 AM. We booked in May when it wasn’t noted of construction starting in July. To the property manager’s credit they had a very quick response to my concern when we arrived and refunded us a little bit to help resolve things. It’s not their fault this is still going on. But that said, do not book a stay here if you want peace and quiet and only to hear the ocean until you can confirm the construction is over with. I have nothing but positive things to say about the property manager or the unit otherwise and will try to book it again next year!

We had great week, staying in Kona for the Queen’s Race. The property is close to town and close to several great restaurants, but far enough away to avoid the crowds and traffic.
The condo was clean and comfortable with lots of amenities. The pool area was lovely. We didn’t take advantage of the barbecue area but the grills were large, gas powered and clean.
We had a minor concern with the smoke alarm chirping bu Tisha was right on it.
Overall, it was a fabulous week!

The view and the sounds of the ocean can not be beat. The pool area is very nice but could do with more umbrellas. Easy 5 minute walk to town. Mattress is comfortable. The unit could do with some updating and more dishes and cookware. Also the patio furniture is functional but needs new cushions. We did experience a couple of roaches while we were there. I’m assuming this comes with the island experience and there was bug spray available. Overall a relaxing and view filled stay.

We stayed at Kona Reef F11 for a week and it was perfect. The condo has everything you might need. The bed is comfortable and the A/C in the living room and bedroom works great! The view from the lanai is awesome and we spent every morning out there with our coffee. We will definitely be back!

![Ocean Front Kona Reef Condo]()
WOW! I’m so sorry that I couldn’t leave 100 stars for this property & Debi. My wife and I spent 18 beautiful and gorgeous days here in Kona at this property. I hate to refer to Our Paradise as this property. From the time we opened the front door on August 12th until we locked up and left on August 30th we thought we had died and went to Heaven. The property is immaculate in every way from the front to the back. Ms. Debi has so many supplies for you that we only had to buy our one food and cook it at the condo or at the 4 gas grills at the pool. Debi and myself kept in touch everyday. Morning reports were so important to us because we wanted to thank her everyday. You leave your stress and problems behind as soon as you walk in and open up the door to the lanai and see that beautiful aqua marine water and waves include😂. My wife and I have already told Ms. Debi that we would be returning to this piece of Paradise. Debi, from the bottom of our hearts I want to thank you so very much. You are a GREAT Host. Thank you and God Bless. Frank & Peggy Homenick ❤️🙏🤙🏄♂️🌊🌴🌺

PROS: The listing is exactly like it said regarding the view! You are literally right on the ocean! Can’t beat how beautiful it was! Communication with the owner was great and check in was very easy! Great walking distance to the Main Street/Restaurants! The most amazing snorkeling ever, just to the left of the condo!!
CONS:
The condo is VERY outdated! Not just the decor…. Towels, linens, all the finishes, utensils, etc.. There is no central air, only a wall air conditioning in the living room! (It did eventually cool down the unit). Place just needs some major updating and paint! The balcony sliding door is extremely heavy and doesn’t open and shut Properly! Could be very difficult for some to open/shut!

The condo is in a great location with beautiful ocean view frontage! But it is not super clean. Look on the ceiling by the air conditioner…you’ll see a ton of dust adhered to the ceiling. The ceiling are a gray colour…that means it’s dirty.
The large picture in the bedroom has splatter over it, so does the picture in the dining area. Cupboards are greasy,
The condo needs updating! Everything is too old!
No ice cube trays in the freezer. The sofa stinks of old. Please take away the old metal hangers in the closet.
This condo should not be listed as super clean…thanks.
There’s a swifter but no pads so that we can clean up the floors which are dirty.

Well situated and stocked property! The neighborhood is highly walkable to get to shops and restaurants in the historic Kailua Village. There's also public beach access directly next door for swimmers and surfers. If you prefer, bike rentals are available on the street next to the Royal Kona Resort. The local Farmers and Craft Market is also within walking distance Wed-Sun.

Perfect top floor on ocean view! Watched the body boarders, birds and beautiful waves rolling in from the lanai. Condo was comfortable with everything we needed. Enjoyed walking to town and to get acai bowls. Great restaurants too. Property Management company was very responsive to any concerns or questions we had.

Had a wonderful time at Kona Reef. The condo was lovely, well-appointment with gorgeous ocean views. We enjoyed breakfast every morning on the lanai. The complex is very nice and clean with a nice area for BBQing. The location could not be more perfect— beachfront with a beautiful grassy area to enjoy the beautiful sunsets, and best of all within walking distance to shops and restaurants at Kailua-Kona village. Great communication with our host, Conrad. We would definitely stay there again.

This is my third time staying at Kona Reef, first time in this unit. The condo is well-appointed, organized and has the most amazing view of the pool and ocean. I'd be putting groceries away and have to marvel at the sight of rolling waves. The village-like Kona Town is close by with lots of shopping and restaurants. Beaches and activities are within close proximity. The vibe is always a good one with people easy to talk to around the pool/Jacuzzi.
