The pool, spa, BBQ's and outdoor dining pavilion are all oceanfront.

Kona Reef A-31 has a beautiful view, the most comfortable lanai furniture of all the Kona Reef units I’ve stayed in, and super accommodating owners. Can’t wait to go again.

Paradise in Kona
Wonderful place! This condo is right on the ocean, and we spent much of our time out on the lanai where we watched turtles, surfers, boats, parasailers, cruise ships, and the most beautiful sunsets. The condo is equipped with everything one would need during their stay. We found the beds to be comfortable, and the living area had very comfortable furniture. The owners were great with lots of communication, and immediately answered any questions that we had. We highly recommend this place, and would definitely stay there again!

Perfect location!
We spent 9 nights at the condo over Christmas- 2 adults and our two young adult kids. We couldn’t ask for a better location. Best view ever, walking distance to town, good parking and lots of amenities in the condo (beach gear, fully equipped kitchen etc.). Highly recommend Kona Reef and Jim and Nancy’s condo in particular!

Wonderful beachfront condo
We absolutely loved our stay in the condo! The lanai was exceptional, and we spent many hours lounging, watching the ocean and enjoying the surfers and wildlife. The unit had plenty of room with all the extras needed to make our vacation comfortable and fun. Air conditioning was quiet and worked well. Best of all was the wonderful communication and information from the hosts. They really went above and beyond to ensure we were taken care of and had a great vacation. Thanks for being such great hosts and providing such a wonderful place! We hope to come back soon.

Best Location, View, and Hosts
We had a wonderful time at the Kona Reef condo! The condo felt much larger than the listing photos showed and there was plenty of room for 4 adults. The bedrooms and bathrooms were spacious, clean, and very comfortable (beds and temperature). The kitchen was well equipped and we enjoyed many dinners on the patio. Will definitely be back next we visit Kona!!

Jim Sommers, owner of our condo is an outstanding communicator. He provided lots of useful information about the condo and surrounding area. The condo was clean and well appointed. The location, right on the ocean is incredible. We saw a sea turtle from our lanai. This condo is a short walk to town and near lots of restaurants and attractions. Our friends who stayed a couple of miles away, were envious of our premier location near the island’s restaurants and evening attractions. Just a beautiful trip overall.

Fantastic condo
This was our first time to the big island and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Waking up to the waves just feet from the lanai was the best. And watching whales and all the ocean activities going on you really don’t need to leave this condo. This condo is so close to Kona it makes it so easy to go out for dinner, or just stroll through town. We also appreciated all the helpful information that was provided to us by Jim. We’re hoping to come back for a longer stay to explore the rest of the island.

This is a gem of a location in Kailua-Kona. Two bedrooms with great AC and fans. Two bathrooms, a well-equipped kitchen, and best of all, a lanai with incredible views of turtles and fish. This property owner gave excellent recommendations that made our stay superb. We will definitely return!

Can't say enough good things about this place. Nice layout. Corner lanai on third floor and right on the beach. Walking distance to downtown Kona. Would certainly recommend this VRBO and wouldn't hesitate to stay here again if we come back to Hawaii.

We had a lovely time staying in Jim and Nancy's condo...awesome oceanfront, 3rd floor, corner unit with everything one might need for a wonderful stay on Hawaii. Really appreciated all the great ideas of where to go and where to eat. Directions for using anything in the unit were readily available and Jim responded quickly to questions that weren't.

James and Nancy are the best hosts we have ever had in our many stays on the Big Island. The unit is beautiful! Sitting on the lanai at sunset is spectacular! James checked on us, gave us tons of tips and was very thoughtful and caring. Everything you needed was right there! The location on the top corner provides incredible ocean views!

Awesome vacation apartment
The unit is perfectly located by the beach and close to town but in a quiet place. There is small private beach next to the building and the building has a pool and plenty of parking. The owner was fantastic. He was always available and on top of everything. I would highly recommend you this place if you re coming with a family, small group and/or Ironman week.

Perfect location with lots of activities.
This condo was definitely a 10 out of 10. The owner was VERY helpful from the first day that we booked this. Travel information - sightseeing events - details of what would be fun to see and explore. I learned a lot from him and will implement his ideas on my VRBO listing in Rancho Mirage California.
