Private, top floor, absolute oceanfront, lovely one bedroom condo at the highly acclaimed Kona Reef Resort!

Modern Appliances:

• Brand New Efficient, Quiet Daikin 24 BTU Air conditioner to cool the entire suite!
• Dish washer,
• Washer/dryer in the unit
• Stove
• Refrigerator
Elegant, large wall to wall mirrors to bring the beautiful ocean and sunset view into the living room! Spacious absolute oceanfront lanai (balcony) for romantic dining and year round sunset viewings.

Why Kona Reef:

• Conveniently located along the prestigious Alii Drive in the heart of Kona town.
• It’s a 5 minute walk in your flip-flops down a low traffic side street (along the ocean) to the village where you will enjoy shopping, dining, nightlife, and other attractions in historic Kailua Village. Walking is better than being caught in downtown traffic, while searching for an elusive parking spot.
• It’s only a few steps to the romantic Honl's Beach; offering snorkeling on calm days, sandy area for kids and sunning, and a hugely popular surf spot when the waves are up.
• It’s one of the few Resorts to offer a heated, salt-water pool adjacent to the ocean.
• It also has a jet spa, barbecue facility & pavilion, elevators, on property and free under and above ground parking for guests, in a zone where parking is a valued commodity. It is difficult to find free parking in Kona town. Kona Reef Resort is in the heart of Kona town. It is only about 10 mins walk to town. No need to drive to town and try to find a place to park or pay for parking. This makes Kona Reef Resort uniquely desirable and sought after!

Why Top Floor, Ocean Front is best:
(Kona Reef has elevators with only a few stairs on each landing):

• Best views of ocean and year round sunsets from lanai, living area and kitchen.
• Best privacy; which is compromised on the first and second floor units.
• Best security; leave the lanai door open 24 hours to enjoy ocean breeze and sound.
• This Ocean front suite is 23 feet from (7 meters) the shoreline. You can watch the surfers, with occasional sightings of whales and dolphins.

What’s Included:

• Bedding includes a California King and a queen size sofa-bed with deluxe mattress in the living room, accommodating up to 4 guests.
• Romantic décor.
• Fully equipped kitchen.
• Bath tub, with a shower.
• Soaps, toiletries, and hairdryer.
• Beach gears, beach towels, cooler.
• 48" flat screen LED smart TV in the living room and 40" new flat screen TV in the bedroom for your enjoyment.
• Living room has ceiling fan and brand new efficient, cool, quiet air conditioner to cool the entire suite. Bedroom also has ceiling fan over the California King canopy bed giving a comfortable and soothing breeze while you sleep.
• Washer and dryer in the suite, and all utilities.
• Professional, licensed property manager.
• Professional cleaning crew.

I have lived in Kona for 30 years. I purchased this condo because Kona Reef has the best location in Kona and because top floor, ocean front is the best location in the Kona Reef Resort. I take pride in my condo. I want my guests to:

• enjoy a comfortable, hassle free stay,
• feel they had one of their best ever vacations, and
• feel they received high value, at a fair price.

Kona Reef Suite D32 is managed by a bona fide property management company in Kona. The office is in the heart of town on Alli Drive, only 10 mins’ walk from Kona Reef. We hire a professional cleaning crew.

If you are looking for a superb location, breathtaking direct oceanfront view with year round sunset, an elegantly decorated suite at reasonable rates with a team of efficient, friendly and helpful staff to see to it that your check-in is seamless and your stay is comfortable and enjoyable, you have come to the right place! Look no further! Book now before your requested dates are filled!

We have stayed in the complex before so knew the location was excellent, just a 20min easy walk to the Pier. This Condo, facing directly out to the ocean was amazing. We ate out on the Lani every day. The sea breeze cooled the condo and we only needed the Air conditioner on late in the afternoon. We used the pool and BBQ everyday. We would 100% book this condo again.

Close to everything, easy walking and the ocean is right off your lanai.

Great location, could easily walk to places, which we loved not having to find parking. The place had everything we needed. The view from the lanai was perfect, saw whales and a pod of dolphins swim by. If I had any cons with the condo, it would be that I wish there were more hangers in the closet. Another pro, my husband loved that it had a coffee grinder to enjoy his Kona coffee!

We have stayed at the Kona Reef many times and the location of the unit is very nice. Overall though, compared to other units, D32 needs some work. Nothing major, but things like the exhaust fan in the bathroom and the light and fan in the living not working. Also, we could not find a way to turn on the light on the lanai. None of these issues would keep us from renting the unit again, but it probably would be one of our first choices.

Needs updating and a new cleaning crew. Curtains were so dusty we couldn’t close them. I’m picky and it wasn’t clean to my expectations. Great location with friendly neighbors. Only one set of keys made things difficult and when I called the property management they told me they were aware of that. Never received any extra sets of keys.

We LOVED this place, RIGHT on the water - simply everything we hoped for, for the two of us for our 12 day stay, clean and comfortable!! For our meals, we cooked at "home", had everything we needed, walked a little bit for some choices or a little bit further for A LOT of choices in Kona proper - for average active people it's that close for all the shopping and excursions! We enjoyed the pool too - this property is as it IS as viewed in pictures, wifi worked great as well

The condo was in a great location, was clean, had everything we needed, and was adorably decorated! We travelled for our honeymoon with family who stayed at the same resort, so having the sleeper couch for nights my daughter stayed with us was perfect and she thought it was very comfortable! Very enjoyable stay, and the binder full of info on the condo rules and things to do around Kona was very helpful.

Great location and loved the views of the ocean! We were able to easily walk into town from the condo, and the pool was great too!

Rooms were less than clean, towels smelled bad and were not clean, TV in living room was not working, TV in bedroom CLOSET would not bring in live TV shows, property management was difficult to reach and reported problems were not handled effectively.

A transformational stay. Wonderfully open feel of the mirrors walls lit up the room with the soft light that filtered in through the big glass sliding doors. Sounds of the waves drowned or all other noise to perfect solitude. Half a mile walk to famous Ali'i Drive stores and restaurants

Perfect location with Ocean views and sounds. Unit may be small for four person stay as there is a lot of furniture. The Lanai makes the unit feel bigger. We have stayed at Kona Reef numerous times and it has always been well maintained and in a great location.

Just what I wanted, a place where I can watch and hear the waves and watch surfers and dolphins alike. The unit supplied what we needed and was at a good location. We could easily walk to the markets. The interior is dated although we weren't indoors much. Probably the hardest part was the temp of the bedroom at night even with the living room ac unit on, was too high to sleep well.

D32 perfect for a couple! Small, quaint, great location and King bed! Ocean front Lanai is wonderful! We were able to walk into town in 5 minutes! Great happy hour at On The Rocks! Annie perfect host! Highly recommend!



April 2022
We had another great trip to this property and unit. This is a unique unit with character and a spectacular view and location. We walked to town daily and enjoyed spending time on the lanai. The Kona Reef amenities are great but the pool and property were more crowded this time. We didn't realize Spring Break was still ongoing! The unit met all of our needs and we would recommend others staying here. We had a great time! Mahalo!

Our stay here was fantastic. This is an excellent location being near to the main strip, but far enough away for a little more peace and quiet. Incredible balcony view of the ocean. Highly recommend. Thank you so much for everything!!

We get up in the morning, and my wife sits out on the lanai and watches the waves crash on the rocks right below. I fix coffee, papaya, and toast. We then plan our day. We're a couple of miles from the snorkle beach near the end of Alii Drive. Within walking distance of about six different restaurants, yet far enough you can't hear the sounds of the night time partying there. All in all, this is a great place to stay. We'll be planning our next trip to return here.

funky nice one bedroom, the bedroom does not have AC FYI. I would also bring my own pillow ;) plenty of fans to use in there. Great location to walk to town.

Was a nice unit. Bed was comfortable. The views from the balcony were fantastic for viewing the sunsets. It's also relaxing to watch the boats. Pool area was nice and clean as was the grilling area. Kitchen area had plenty of utensils and cooking pans. Washer and dryer worked out nicely. AC unit kept it comfortable when we were in the unit. Basically like having a little apartment away from home. The downtown area was within walking distance as well. Would definitely stay there again.

Overall we enjoyed the apartment.... We walked around the pool area. There were BBQ's and a medium size pool. We didn't use either, it was a small area but clean! There is also a green space along the rock retaining wall that people enjoyed watching the sunset from we noticed from the patio. Pros: The location of ocean front view was an A+ rating! We enjoyed watching the sunset from the patio. It was nice they're 2 beach chairs, small ice chest and umbrella (although on its last leg so needs to be replaced) for a beach day. Walking distance to Huggo's which is a great restaurant and across from this are many other stores and other restaurants. Washer and Dryer was nice to have and appreciated. The couch is also comfortable. We didn't use the TV so not sure about this. The apartment has flair of a mix of cultures and colorful. Cons: The bed is extremely FIRM FIRM FIRM! If you like this type of mattress then you'll be very happy! The King size bed takes up nearly the entire room so no space for dressers which are located in the closet therefore no room for storage for suitcases and hanging clothes for 2 people. The bedroom is also located adjacent to the hallway, so no air flow and next to the other neighbors front doors. The AC works great but does not reach the bedroom area due to the layout of the apartment. The bathroom honestly needs to be completely updated. If you are a wine drinker there was one Champagne glass and 2 different sizes of wine glasses. Minor detail but one we were a bit surprised given how inexpensive glasses are and the nightly rate.

Great property, oceanfront unobstructed view. Impeccably clean and well stocked. Even has air conditioning. Beautiful pool overlooking the ocean and grills to barbecue. Both the owner and property management company were excellent in their communication and follow up. Looking forward to staying here again.

Loved the view. Asked if we could check in early and was told no but would let us know when we could. We arrived about 30 minutes early and checked on the place, it was ready. Great view. Place needs a little updating and could use some more coffee cups and new beach towels. Otherwise, great location and view.

We spent six nights in this ocean front condo and it was just as advertised. The condo is directly on the water, and we spent each afternoon / evening watching the sunset from our balcony. Also enjoyed watching whales offshore directly from the balcony. Overall was a great rental property for the price. We enjoyed the close proximity to town (roughly a 10 minute walk to the various bars and restaurants), and the ocean front location of the complex. We did not use the pool or other condo facilities, but parking was very convenient, and used the complex lounge chairs located directly on the water. Although it is a bit dated, the condo is tastefully decorated, and fully stocked with everything you need for a vacation on the beach. Will definitely stay here again for a return visit.

Beautiful home in an amazing location! Walkable to the stores and restaurants. Nice pool area and clean condo. We loved snorkeling at the recommend beach as well! Would be a great place to stay for the Kona Ironman ( you could watch the swim from the balcony!)

Good location, well stocked with everything you would need,clean and comfortable walking distance to all the shops and restaurants. Great hot tub an bq area



August 2015
We had a great week at Kona Reef. The location of this Condo is fantastic. Located just a short walk from all the restaurants and shops and just a short drive to many of the other activities that Kialua-Kona has to offer, including some of the best Scuba diving, the night dive with Manta Rays is not to be missed. The unit is uniquely decorated and is equipped with everything you need, including beach gear and reading material. The air conditioner, stove, dishwasher and microwave were all new and everything worked fine. The view from the lani is spectacular, along with the sunsets each evening. We enjoyed cocktails on the lani in the evenings, just watching the sun set, paradise! The owners were very accommodating in providing us with a late check-out, which made our stay completely stress free! We met the owners during our stay and had a lovely conversation, very nice couple, and hope that the next time we visit Kona we will be able to book this same unit.



July 2013
Location for this condo is ideal. 5 minutes in flip flops and we were in downtown Kona. We spent a lot of our time on the lanai and enjoyed watching the dolphins & surfers. We cooked on the gas grills almost every evening and watched the sunset from the lanai. Upon arrival we had no cable TV and the A/C unit went out the first night....but a phone call to the management service had both issues resolved the same day. Having a washer and dryer in the unit was a big plus. Construction in the unit next door resulted in a lot of noise between 8am-5pm even on the weekends - the workers were courteous but construction is noisy and could not be avoided. The unit provided lots of towels and the kitchen amenities were good. The bed was very comfortable with lots of pillows. We used the A/C every night for sleeping but besides that the island breeze kept the unit comfortable during the day. We would definitely stay in this unit again. Thanks Annie.

Hi, Annie...We really enjoyed our stay there. Your place is wonderful...great location. Enjoyed seeing the ocean right outside your balcony and easy walk into town. I'd love to come back next year when we return to the islands.
