About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire condo to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Quite Simply THE BEST Kona Reef Oceanfront.

You have just found your own personal, tropical hideaway … a spectacular, ocean-front designer condo literally just steps away from the crystal blue Pacific Ocean!

A look at the video tour will tell it all. The link to the video tour is located by clicking the screen or arrow to the left of the main picture above. A picture is worth a thousand words, and a video is worth a thousand pictures!

This is elegant tropical living at its best, with a king-size bed (and premium mattress), slate floors, granite countertops, gourmet kitchen with new stainless steel appliances, central air conditioning, Travertine bath with a raised vessel sink, and tropical touches throughout.

The convenient, ground floor location means you have paradise at your feet: Merely stroll 20 yards out from the lanai (patio) and you’re standing in the ocean, with a picturesque white sand beach cove just a few more feet down to your left. Or go 30 feet out the front door to the pool. No winding staircases or out-of-the-way elevators.

As you would expect in a condo this luxurious, it is fully equipped with everything you could need for a comfortable stay: A fully equipped kitchen, with a full array of utensils, including BBQ accessories. A washer and dryer right in the unit makes sure you feel right at home. We expect you to return often, as most of our guests do. The Kona Reef is the most convenient location in Kona, and this is the ultimate unit at the Kona Reef.

So sit back and enjoy spectacular sunsets as daredevil surfers and playful dolphins dodge sea turtles right in front of you,... as all of you keep a keen lookout for humpback whales when they are in town.

And then ask yourself: after traveling thousands of miles to get here, was it worth a few extra dollars per night to spend your time in a place just as beautiful as the paradise that surrounds it? Of course it was, but we are actually priced lower than many other units, which shows that sometimes the best actually costs less.

Since we have multiple units, we are most likely able to fill your needs and the dates that you need. If the dates you want are not available, then click the 'View Our Other Rentals Listings' below the map, or visit our website for the availability of other units. We are likely to have the dates available that you need. Our availability calendar is always up to date, and you can use the 'Book It Now' option to confirm your dates without delay.

Email us with any of your questions and we will be happy to give you a prompt response. We look forward to having you stay with us, and your return. Hawaii registration #W-01269720-01

Oceanfront Kona condo
Great location. Walking distance to restaurants and shopping. Everything in condo you could possibly need for a short term stay. Permanent residents were friendly and welcoming. Elevator doesnt go to level of condo. Must have a key to get in and out of pool area which is the accessible route to condo so one of you need to be able to do a few steps to get into the unit and retrieve the pool keys. Absolutely loved sitting on the patio to watch the waves and sunsets. Residents blew into conches at sunset

Perfect little spot
This unit was perfect for our family needs, kitchen had all the necessary things to cook meals/bbq. No rice pot tho, no biggie if you cook rice on the stovetop. Pool was perfect for our young family, can’t beat the location, right off Alii Dr., you can watch the surfers while cooking breakfast. Hosts had all the necessary information where you needed it, left no confusion. Would definitely stay here again.

Anniversary Trip
We absolutely loved the location and views of this property! The lanai lived up to the pictures online, and exceeded our expectations by allowing us to view the gorgeous Kona sunset almost every single night! We enjoyed having coffee every single morning, listening to the ocean, which was right outside our door. The master bedroom was extremely comfortable, and we slept very well! The kitchen was fully stocked with all appliances needed, which made food planning extremely easy. The property is located just minutes from town and is within walkable distance to almost all shops and restaurants, which is convenient, when it is busy and parking is full. The condo was easy to access, we were able to have covered parking in the garage, and were within a few steps of the pool area. There were a few maintenance issues with the air conditioning and mildew smell that needed to be addressed, but the property management and maintenance team were extremely responsive and helpful. Aside from the maintenance issue, this condo was perfect for us. We would definitely stay here again, and are in conversation for another trip in the near future!

We had a wonderful time at the condo. Right next to the ocean and central air conditioning was very welcome after a long day in the Hawaiian heat. We were on the ground floor so many stairs to get down to where our place was but there is an elevator. We loved being on the ground floor and walking right out to the ocean. Would definitely stay here again.

Kona stay
The property was exactly as listed . The bed was very comfortable. Short walk into restaurants in Kona. With the screen door we listened to the waves. I would stay here again if I return to the big island.

Great location
Our 4-day stay in this unit was wonderful. We enjoyed this nicely remodeled one-bedroom condo on the ground floor with a true oceanfront view. The pool, hot tub, bbqs and surrounding areas were well maintained. The short walking distance to town made it easy to access restaurants and stores without having to deal with pay-to-park lots which are expensive. We would definitely recommend this property and would choose it the next time we visit the Big Island.

Sun, surf and sand
We thoroughly enjoyed our accommodation. Terrific views of the ocean, sunsets and the local surfers. Convenient location wrt shopping and restaurants-- all within a short walk. The unit is quiet and private, with the exception of the incoming surf that, in our opinion, is a major plus to the overall experience.

The property was awesome. View is amazing. Watching whales breaching from the patio and the nightly sunsets was outstanding. Amazing restaurants within walking distance of property. Most things were close to the property. Kona country club is right down the road a bit if you plan on golfing. Ken if you can DM me. There’s a problem in your future

Above and beyond to make us feel welcome
My trip to the Big Island took an extreme 360 and I was faced with having to find somewhere to stay for me and my 5 year old daughter, who needed somewhere to stay on our own. Kenneth went above and beyond to make sure all our needs were met beforehand, during, and even after our trip. He was incredibly responsive to all of the questions I had and I was very confident about our stay for that reason. The location was INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL! We watched the sun set every evening, and it was breathtaking. It was perfect because my daughter went to bed early so I was able to sit out on the Lanai and enjoy a drink while I watched the waves crash. The location was also within walking of quite a few great restaurants and a small downtown area. To say it was perfect is an understatement. Hands down, no questions asked, I would stay here in the future.

Perfect view of the ocean !
The room was very nice, decorated with a Bamboo theme. The kitchen was well equipped with everything but food. Washer and dryer available to keep your laundry clean and fresh. The bed was really comfy. The lanai was a favorite place to sit to watch the surfers, parasailors, cruise ships and the waves crash on shore. We enjoyed the swimming pool and jacuzi. The only problem we had was actually locating the unit when we first arrived as well as trying to locate the best place to park. I am slightly handicapped and specifically chose a ground floor unit, unfortunately there was a small flight of 5 or 6 stairs that I did need to use going to and from the unit. It was not advertised as handicap accessible, I only mention this in case you are like me and assuming a ground floor room would be easy to get to. We would definitely rent this room again.
