Kona Reef Beachfront / Top Floor / Air Con / Free WiFi / Walk to Town

You're gonna love your Kona Reef Beachfront getaway. Imagine the big smile on your face when you walk through the door of this freshly renovated, top-floor, jewel of a condo... a place you get to call your Kailua-Kona "home" away from home.

What's not to love? You can enjoy the "local-style" ambience and convenience of the in-town walk-to-everything location, while being in an oceanfront complex with a great ocean view. The public beach right next door is super convenient for swimming, snorkeling and surfing. From sunbathers to yoga classes, to picnics and people-watching, the view from your top-floor lanai provides a different beach scene every day.

You'll be charmed by the beachy, eclectic, tropical decor -- a blend of retro "Hawaiiana" with a touch of understated whimsy. Enjoy the top-quality finishes, selected to convey a simple warmth as well as durability. Split-system Air Conditioning installed Dec. 2020 keeps both living room and bedroom cool. The expanded kitchen features bamboo cabinets, white "cloud-like" quartz countertop, art glass backsplash, and shell mosaic pendant lighting. The bathroom was inspired by the colors of sand and sea, and has a custom walk-in shower that features a rain head, bamboo glass panel and handy corner seat. Sturdy bamboo-pattern vinyl flooring ties everything together to complete the natural ambience. Your top-floor lanai is the perfect place to enjoy a relaxing breakfast, or watch the waves and beach activities. You might be inspired to head on down to the beach, where you can picnic, wade, swim, snorkel or maybe even join a yoga class. The condo comes equipped with back-pack style beach chairs, boogie boards, snorkel gear, beach towels and more for your convenience.

You will also enjoy the convenience of:
o FREE password-protected, high speed WIFI signal
o Digital Cable TV package
o In-unit front-loading washer and dryer
o Elevator access from parking garage to the patio level. (You have to walk several paces from the elevator, then up 8 stairs to the condo level. If you require "no stairs", unfortunately, my condo is not a good choice for you).

But as much as you will enjoy the amenities of the condo, (... did I mention the super-comfy, firm memory-foam, gel-top king-size mattress?...) you didn't come all the way to Kona to stay indoors! There is so much to do and see. You'll want to spend some of your time chillin' at the oceanfront swimming pool. We have one of the nicest pool/recreation areas in town--with plenty of lounge chairs, whirlpool spa, barbecues and shady pavilion.

Kona Reef has one of the most convenient locations on the Kona Coast, and is just a short walk to shopping, restaurants, bars and entertainment.

It is a 5 to 10 minute walk to:
o Honl’s Beach (right next door!)
o Luau at the Royal Kona Resort
o Bars and restaurants
o Shopping
o Bicycles for rent
o Coffee Shops
And just a few more minutes to:
o Farmer’s Market
o Art Galleries
o Library
o More shops and restaurants
o Churches
o Hulihee Palace

If you are the adventurous type, you will want to do some sight-seeing and exploring. There is so much to choose from:
o Snorkeling
o SCUBA
o Golf
o Zip Line
o Hiking
o Deep Sea Fishing
o Helicopter Tours
o Sailing
o Stand Up Paddle (SUP)
o Surfing
o Parasailing
o Pu'u Honua (City of Refuge) National Park
o Waterfalls
o Botanical Gardens
o Luau
o Coffee Tasting
o Farm Tours (Coffee, Chocolate, Vanilla...YUM!)
o and more!

Whatever your preference, the Big Island offers plenty of fun in the sun, and you couldn't pick a better home base than this lovely top floor condo at Kona Reef.

This is more than a hotel room… it's my downtown oceanfront getaway, and I like nothing better than staying at the unit when it is not booked. My home is your home, and I love it when guests tell me a little about themselves when making a booking request.

The calendar allows reservation requests up to 9 months in advance. If your travel plans are further in the future, I can open up some dates for you... Just click on the "Ask Owner a Question" link!

Thanks for looking and thanks for booking!

About the Air Conditioning:
2-unit split system installed December 2020 for your creature comfort! There is a wall unit in the living room and another one in the bedroom. Super quiet! There are also ceiling fans and standing fans if you prefer to experience the ambient temperatures. It's all about what you're used to. ALSO: Due to the high cost of electricity in Hawaii, when you leave the apartment for extended periods of time, turning off the AC is greatly appreciated.

Paradise on the Big Island
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!!!

Remarkable space - Remarkable place
Two adults for 5 days in October at this lovely oceanside condo. Charming space with all the amenities needed to make meals, drink Kona coffee on the lanai in the morning sun or sip a cocktail in the evening breeze watching the waves rush along the coastline. The bedroom was very comfortable, with an AC, crisp sheets, and even a TV that we never turned on. We really enjoyed the beautiful tiled walk-in shower. Parking was great and convenient. The condo was equipped with snorkels and beach gear, which was fantastic since the beach was merely steps away. It is an easy walk to the village to catch happy hour, people-watch, or grab a fresh seafood meal at one of several restaurants along the way. Marni was fantastic, and the space is a haven. I would definitely come back here—I highly recommend booking this space.

We loved this place- but instead of 5days I wanted to stay a month! Everything was as advertised Excellent view Fully stocked home- Marni has thought of just about everything you could need from food to flippers. Lots of house amenities,new washer /dryer, nice appliances, coffee maker, Cable TV, Towels, fans, a/c that works well and easily, parking, etc. Plus house is designed as if she lived there, so it is well maintained and very comfortable. Excellent view from the balcony, easy access to the pool/ Jacuzzi. And of course the ocean view and sunsets! Easy walk into town 15-20 minutes. Plus Marni was very responsive to any questions/issues we had and dealt with them immediately. Will definitely stay again when we come back to Kona. Mahalo Marni!

Great Stay!
This place was as good as if not better than advertised. Pictures are accurate, everything we needed was provided, cooking utensils, cookware as well as items in the bathroom. Communication was very easy. The entire complex was clean with two covered garages and an open parking lot. The biggest thing for me when looking for a place on the Hawaiian islands is the AC. This place has two split AC's, one in the bedroom and one in the living room. I can't stress how important AC is to me. Because of the high prices of electricity it is requested not to run the AC while not in the condo. I was skeptical about doing that but honored the request. We turned off the AC and spent the entire day on the Hilo side of the island, from about 9am until 7pm and when we returned it was still cold inside. From that moment on I had no problem turning the AC off while we were out exploring the island. We walked from the condo to shop and eat on Ali'i Drive which can save you a lot of money because parking is very expensive. Our view on the lanai was fantastic. We were always in the shade regardless of the time of day. I noticed other places on Ali'i Dr that faced the west had direct sunlight into their places which can be hot and also explained why I hardly saw anyone enjoying their lanai during the day. That was not the case at this place. Always comfortable on the lanai. Btw, the sunset was beautiful from the grounds. When we return to the Big Island this will be the first place we look for.

Everything we needed plus a great location!
We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay during our recent trip to Kona! A clean and cool condo, a semi-firm yet really comfortable bed, and easy parking in a great (and walkable!) location means we will hopefully stay here again! Downtown Kona is only a 15ish minute walk or less than $10 Uber/lyft ride away and you can get anywhere on the island in under two hours, which made for some great day trips! The host was always super responsive to any questions and we had everything we needed and more (including beach towels, a dishwasher, and beach chairs!). Add me as another very happy client who can’t wait to come back and stay again!

Excellent condo, walking distance from town, with a beautiful ocean view. There is a very good surf spot immediately in front of the condo complex. The condo, and particularly the kitchen, was very well stocked and all equipment worked, The host even provided a bottle of champagne in recognition of our anniversary trip.

Super easy booking & check-in process. Marni reached out ti see if we needed anything and provided some great tips on where to get some fresh poke! The condo was very clean and fully stocked. Furniture was comfortable and so was the bed! Nice location with a sandy beach right beside the condo and a great pool/ BBQ area that we enjoyed almost every day. There was a bit of road noise from Alii Drive from time to time but it wasn’t a major issue and was only noticed when sitting out on the lanai. Would highly recommend this condo and we look forward to our next visit.
