We had a wonderful stay for 6 days/nights at this Kona Reef condo. View from this lanai is good - Though you get to see Alii drive, what's also in view are the park and Honl's beach. We visited the Honl's beach frequently; even saw 2 turtles there!
In the apartment itself, the pull-out bed is quite uncomfortable to sleep. Also, none of the plug points on one side of the kitchen work. Otherwise, a great place to stay in Kona!

Everything was great and as advertised. The only hitch was getting into the unit on arrival. I was sent a text which gave me the code to open the key box. The code worked, but there was no key. We worked for 10 minutes on a second box with no result. I called the contact number, and someone else called me back within 3 minutes. He gave me the code for the keypad on the door handle. The number was one we would not forget, and it was convenient not needing to carry a key. If only we had been given correct info to begin with.

I have stayed at the Kona Reef condo's before and been very happy, but I would not recomend this unit to others. This unit is right on Alii drive and very noisy with constant traffic. In addition the deck side faces a beach which is favored by homeless people who screem at each other and anybody they see gets alot of the F-word. Also this unit has seen better days needs to be cleaned and updated.
This condo developement is great if you have an inside unit that overlooks the pool or ocean.

Nice corner condo next to the park and beautiful ocean view. What a perfect Lanai to sit, do yoga, stretch your legs, sip on your morning coffee, & evening cocktail with dinner! Your view from Lanai, i like to split into 3 parts: to the left is Ali'i drive, to its right is a beautiful park and to its right is your ocean with blue water!
We truly enjoyed our stay!
Kitchen had plenty of pots and pans needed to cook your favorite meal!
The management team is excellent!
Mahalo!

Place was wonderful. Excellent location, very walkable. As listed there is road noise, also an annoying bright yellow security light at night, but certainly nothing that ruined our time there.

Morning sun on the deck while way home g the ocean is how everyday began.
A close walk into town for coffee, açaí and dinner was great! Evening sunsets from the pool were enjoyed as well.

We enjoyed the apartment, and our stay was free of any stress. Self check-in was smooth, everything was as described, and we settled right in for a week's stay. The Kona Reef Resort complex is a kinda dated stylistically, but well maintained. We enjoyed the pool area, the available grills, and the small beach right next door. The apartment was nicely provisioned for a vacation rental. The kitchen had everything we needed, minus the groceries, which we obtained easily with a short drive to Safeway or an Instacart delivery. Location is an easy walk to the commercial area and is a manageable day trip to virtually any spot on the island. The lanai has a bit of an ocean view.
Between its street-side location and proximity to a public beach, the apartment is subject to some noise. This did not affect our experience, although one in our party is highly sensitive to noise. We slept like babies.

Had everything we needed. The walk to downtown is best if you take the lower road, not Alii drive.

Clean, well-maintained unit adjacent to a very pretty beach. A bit of road noise in this particular unit as it is adjacent to Ali'i Drive, but, even though we eschewed the A/C and kept the sliding door open, it didn't bother us. I rebooted the WiFi (both cable modem and router), as it seeemed a bit slow, but it subsequently supported my video attendance at a Zoom meeting, so no problem. The short walk to restaurants and then to Kauilua Harbor are also pluses.
We were always able to find parking, though not always in the most convenient lot. There are three parking areas, one entirely above ground, one entirely underground, and a third with both above ground and underground parking.
Among the vacation accoutrements were a few ice chests/coolers and a couple of cloth bags, which came in handy. I suggest you check out the closets/cupboards before going shopping.
Yes, we'd stay there again.
