About this property

Entire place

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

Great Deals at the Kona Reef! Footsteps from Old Kona Town. See our Video Tour.

This is one of the best deals at the Kona Reef: a clean, comfortable and recently-renovated island-style 1BR, with a great view of the big, beautiful Pacific Ocean. It’s an oceanfront view without the oceanfront price. And it it is air conditioned throughout. There are only a few units that have total air conditioning, the rest just have a wall air conditioner in the living room. For your stay in paradise, don't you want to be cool and comfortable?

To see exactly what we’re talking about, take a complete video tour of this unit by going to the Video Tour. From the main image, click the screen or arrow to the left of the main picture.

This is just one example of several excellent Kona Reef condos we own or represent, in all varieties and prices …including two bedroom and oceanfront units. If one is reserved for the dates you need, one of our others is probably available.

Of the 130 units at the Kona Reef, less than a dozen have air conditioning throughout the unit. Others have a wall AC unit in the living room, but this condo has AC for the entire unit including the bedroom. While it is cooler at night, the added benefit of a bedroom that is air conditioned can be very important on hot evenings.

This unit as well as our other condos are clean, comfortable, modern, recently remodeled throughout and completely suitable for a stay from just a few days to a month or more, with full kitchens equipped with full size appliances and all cookware and dining utensils; in-unit washer-dryers; king size beds; air conditioning as well as ceiling fans; covered lanais; large TVs with DVD players and cable, and free high speed DSL Internet with Wi-Fi and FREE long distance calling throughout Hawaii, US mainland and Canada.

The oceanfront Kona Reef Resort is without a doubt the most convenient location in Kailua-Kona; just two blocks to town, and a wonderful resort for a vacation. You can easily walk to the shops or restaurants, so you do not need to drive every time you want to go to town. Plus the resort is just 30 feet from the water with a beautiful ocean-side pool and spa; large, outdoor gas grills in the adjacent pool cabana, and a nice sandy beach just a few steps away where you can swim or just relax. It’s real convenience and value.

By representing multiple condos at the Kona Reef, if one is occupied, one of the others we own or manage may be available. We have summer specials and our availability calendars are always up to date. Just click on the 'view all our other rentals' link below.

You can reserve any condo with the 'Book It' button for immediate reservations and secure payments. You can also book by email or phone or get additional information by calling us from 9 AM to 7 PM California time. We can probably answer any of your questions, and are more than happy to do so.

After traveling thousands of miles to get to your dream vacation, the last thing you want is disappointment in your lodging. We offer up-to-date information on all our condos, and make sure they are consistent, and well maintained. That means total peace of mind that you will have a wonderful stay in a fully equipped upgraded condo. We look forward to having you stay with us -and your return business- so we make sure you are completely satisfied.

When you compare the convenience of the Kona Reef to other complexes we are sure you will choose the Kona Reef for this stay, and your return for future stays.

Sweet little condo

Kona reef is a small older condo but very well taken care of and maintained. The pool area is nice and has a family feel. The ocean and beach are steps away. Old town Kona is a short walk as well though on a busy road.

Perfect Place

Clean, quiet and the perfect place for viewing a beautiful sunset right from the lanai. Great pool, great hot tub and excellent grilling area with family or friends. Great place just to lay your head if you’re not there as well. We explored everyday from morning till dinner. Highly recommend!

Condo with a view of the ocean and located walking distance to everything in Kona. Two AC units were great. Provided beach chairs and towels. Small beach next door was perfect when we didn’t want to go far. I would stay here again.

Nice location within walking distance to shops and beaches!

Nice stay at this very quiet condo in a great location! Found the lagoon nearby a wonderful place to swim and snorkel. The fridge was quite old with the door seal having a gap, which wouldn’t be good for the appliance. Also worth noting is a bit of a stale smell in the living room area.

Great condo

Loved our stay in this condo.excellent location, Nice view, great A/C , well stocked kitchen, full size laundry and plenty of parking. Unit is a little dated but not paying for Ritz Carlton and we enjoyed every minute. Nice things like beach umbrellas, some snorkeling gear, some spices already in cabinet (from previous vacationers I assume) really appreciated. The host was wonderful, the unit ready on time , he left a nice welcome gift along with a card wishing us happy anniversary. I will stay here again when visiting big island

Great location but a little rough

Great location, within walking distance of many restaurants, bars and shopping. The condo itself is old and out dated, the bed was ok but the couch was blown out and the kitchen is rough. There is everything you need for your stay even a couple beach chairs and umbrellas along with washer dryer (very loud). This is a good value if you care more about location then quality.

Great Location!

great location! if you want an oceanside (steps away over a short rock wall) condo right near all the best shops and restaurants then this is it. Most people have to walk a long ways, sit in traffic, or look for parking, but you can walk right to it from here. Everything from coolers to body boards and chairs are right in the condo. You can't really swim at the mini beach because of the rocks but its still a nice place to lay out or watch the sunset. Great place for two, not super big or fancy, but large enough for everything you need and a location that can't be beat! If you want to get to the best beaches, rent a 4X4 Jeep.

Stayed at Kona Reef for a few days. The complex was very nice. My only complaint would be that the unit we stayed in wasn't as clean as I would have hoped for and should be updated inside. The bathroom toilet around the bottom wasn't cleaned, the front of the microwave wasn't cleaned. The unit could use a painting and updated such as the bathroom/shower taps, etc.

Comfortable Accommodations in a Convenient Location

This Kona Reef apartment was a great choice for our stay. It was within walking distance of town; the pool and courtyard area were well-maintained and quiet at night. The BBQs were cleaned daily. Our unit had 2 ACs, which would be great during warmer weather. The unit itself is a bit dated and worn, but it was clean and comfortable. All early communication was good, but upon arrival and struggling a bit with the keypad entry (low lighting), I called the manager, and he was quite rude. My family even heard him speaking to me through the phone and were shocked by how he was addressing the problem. I was polite and didn't bother him again. Really, that is my only complaint. There is good parking here as well and I would return.

Great condo at Kona Reef

This was our 2nd time staying at the Kona Reef and we enjoyed this condo. It’s a corner unit close to the pool, beach and parking structure and gets a lot of natural light. There is a nice ocean view from the lanai and had perfect views of the sunset. The bed was comfy and the pull out couch worked well for our son. There is AC in both the living room and bedroom but we barely needed it. The kitchen was well stocked and had plenty of towels and umbrellas and chairs for the beach. It’s also a short walk to town. The only complaint we had is the pool was very murky the first few days but we contacted Ken and it was much better the rest of the week. Ken is very responsive and if we would definitely come back to this condo.

Lovely and very well situated!

Our family was very pleasantly surprised by our stay at Kona Reef. The photos online didn't do the pool area and breathtaking views of the beach justice, and the location was just perfect for easy walks in town for shopping and any meals we didn't want to cook ourselves. The unit was clean, quiet and very comfortable, although the pull-out bed in our particular unit could use an upgrade. Aside from that, it was perfect for our needs (family of three), with a well-stocked kitchen and breezy lanai. The unit also came equipped with boogie boards, beach chairs, towels, etc. which we made great use of at many of the nearby beaches. The owner and on-site staff were also very responsive and helpful, easily adjusting to late-check in needs as well as helping us arrange an amazing Dolphin Discoveries excursion. We all agree that if we come to Hawaii again, we'll be back at Kona Reef!

Needs some work

It says “a clean, comfortable and recently-renovated island-style 1BR” I’m not sure when it was rennovated. This unit shows its wear and tear and would greatly benefit from a renovation. Other issues: -no beach chairs - this is a must have when on island. I actually went and bought a chair. -Internet: make sure you use the “new” internet code, not the code in the check-in instructions. The modem is in the bedroom so WiFi in the living room is good, out on the patio is non-existent. -Bedroom windows need more than a sheer drape, expect morning sunlight to wake you up.

Great ground floor ocean front unit.

The property was centrally located with very good onsite parking. The condo was also generous in space. There are two aspects of the condo that could be improved, or one should be aware of: 1. The unit only has an air conditioner in the living room, the bedroom does not have A/C. There is a big temperature difference between bedroom and front living space. 2. The matteress in the bedroom needs to be replaced. The center of the mattress has at least a 6-8 depression in it. I woke with sore backs every morning.
