Located just outside the heart of Kailua- Kona, this ocean front condo is your ticket to paradise! Just minutes from town, a short walk will take you to some of the finest dining and shopping destinations on the Big Island. Our modern, updated condo serves as the perfect home away from home, allowing our guests to enjoy everything the Big Island has to offer.

After a full day of snorkeling, beach combing, hiking, volcano exploring or just relaxing in the sun, return home to kick back and relax on the private lanai with a full ocean front view. Watch sea turtles swim in the tide pools below or see humpback whales and dolphins frolic in the ocean as the sun dips into the sea, creating breathtaking sunsets.

The unit is air conditioned throughout, with separate zone controls for the living room and bedroom. With a lanai that directly overlooks the ocean, you need not be concerned about noise from the pool and cabana area. The only sound you’ll hear is the waves as they crash against the expansive reef. Our top floor location also ensures the utmost privacy and security for the lanai area.

We have taken care to provide a variety of recreational items for your use and enjoyment including:
Beach towels
Beach chairs
Beach umbrella
Beach mat
Boogie boards
Sand pail & tools
Backpack cooler
Binoculars
Free WiFi

Need a break from your vacation? The complex is adjacent to Honl's beach and our unit comes with a fully equipped kitchen, access to popular streaming services, with BBQ grills, a pool and hot tub on site. A washer and dryer is provided for your convenience.

Our condo is ideal for a romantic getaway for two, though the sleeper sofa will allow up to four guests. The bathroom has a walk-in shower with no bathtub, so the unit may not be suitable for families with very young children that require a tub for bathing.

There is an elevator on site, but a set of stairs must be navigated to reach units on the top floor, so it may not be suitable for guests with accessibility concerns. No smoking and no pets allowed.

We had such a wonderful stay! The condo is clean and comfortable. We found the location to be so convenient to town and we walked there every day. And the VIEW! Breathtaking. We have already started planning our next trip!

What an amazing location and the view from the room was ocean, ocean and more ocean. We walked just about a block and were able to go to all the great restaurants and shops. Everything you could need was in the kitchen. The pool and jacuzzi was a special bonus for watching the sunsets.

Very clean, neat, and livable unit in a condo complex. Great ocean views, beach within walking distance. Everything we needed for water sports was there and in good shape.

The location of this Vrbo was absolutely perfect. Close enough we could walk around to shop on Ali’i drive. And it was amazing to be right on the ocean front. I got so many cool shells just by walking to the backyard! The place was clean, smelled great, and the AC was amazing! Thank you for an amazing place to stay!

The condo was as advertised, with a beach overlook, well-equipped with kitchen equipment (we cooked a lot so this was a big plus), and a nice selection of beach gear including chairs and towels. There was even some food in the pantry especially spices and condiments so we did not have to buy all those things ourselves. Convenient parking too. I would definitely come here again.

This was the perfect location to see the island. We went up north we went down south. It was just a super place.

The condo and resort was everything we were expecting and more! We would definitely stay here again! The view was nothing short of amazing and the condo was so comfortable. Coffee out on the lanai every morning was so relaxing. And speaking of coffee, the Keurig coffee maker was so appreciated! Thank you Tisha! This was a wonderful vacation and place to stay! So close to town and loved walking to the shops and restaurants. The closet full of beach stuff was an added bonus. The pool and resort grounds were beautiful. Thank you for your wonderful hospitality and allowing us to stay in your piece of paradise!

Communication with the owner was first class and their fully updated condo made our stay very special. We have stayed at this complex a number of times in a number of different condos and I would not hesitate to stay here again. As far as location goes this is as good as it gets for easy walking distance to everything Kona has to offer. Being directly on the ocean offers one of the best spots within this complex. Also the unit is very well stocked with supplies.

We had an amazing time at the Kona Reef in our ocean front unit. The views were spectacular! We enjoyed the sunset everyday from our lanai as well as watching for dolphins and whales. The unit was well decorated and stocked We especially liked the closet full of beach necessities such as chairs, cooler and umbrellas. The pool and BBQ area was wonderful and we hope to one day return and rent this beautiful unit again.

2 1/2 weeks spent in paradise! This condo is in a wonderful location, the communication with the owner and host was great and the view from the lanai was simply amazing. The bed was super comfortable, and sleeping to the sound of the surf was incredible. Pretty much everything we needed to 'live' here for a couple weeks was provided. We loved the spaciousness of the condo with no clutter. We spent most of our time on the lanai, enjoying the ever-changing surf and witnessing a beautiful sunset every night. We totally recommend this condo and we would love to come back some day. :)

I would 100% stay here again, the property was comfortable with a beautiful view. Loved opening the lanai doors and hearing the ocean. The bed was extremely comfortable and at night it was fairly quiet. There is a little street noice, but I always bring ear plugs. Luckily there was a blow up mattress for my son. He is tall and the pull out sofa bed was not comfortable for his long frame. Overall great experience, thanks!

Great accommodations for two people. Incredible views, perfect for watching the sunset, the only thing to obstruct your view is coconut trees. The soothing sound of the ocean made for perfect sleeping conditions. We saw whales breeching and spinner dolphins from the balcony. Kitchen is well equipped, grounds are very well kept, bbq grills were extremely clean and operated perfectly. Pool and jacuzzi were clean and available. Never had a problem with parking. It's a very easy walk to downtown Kona. We'll be back

The condo was well stocked with items for the beach, including beach chairs, umbrellas, and a backpack cooler. The view was spectacular. The condo was clean and well stocked with items to cook with. It has a quick walk to town and restaurants. It also has a quick walk to a small beach right next to the condo building. Would definitely stay there again.

The property is just as listed, the one exception is the sunset views as there are no pictures or words to do it justice. It became a nightly ritual to make a post card picture to send to friends and family to make them jealous. This unit is very clean, well equipped and has easy access to all of Kona's best. Thank you for such a wonderful visit.

This was a great place to stay and would stay here again. It’s hard to overstate the amazing lanai views. Just wow. We spent lots of time just watching the surfers. The AC was great. We turned it off for the day. When we came back the AC was able to cool off the place quickly. The condo is located within walking distance to great shops and food. The only issues we had were an over chlorinated hot tub and our inability to get the TV’s to work. We didn’t need the TV so that wasn’t a real issue.

Very clean property. Loved having a/c in August! Wonderful to hear the waves break along the shore and watch the surfers and boogie boarders every day. We rented a car and had no issues with parking. Loved having the washer/dryer in unit! Property owner was very communicative about a few hiccups that occurred prior to our arrival (nothing that hindered our plans or the condo itself). Thanks for hosting us!

The condo was in a great location; a beautiful view from the lanai, an easy walk to town. There were lots of supplies included; many spices, popcorn, etc, etc. One suggestion: a little more info regarding parking would be helpful; e.g. is covered parking allowed or is that just for owners. All in all, would definitely stay there again and recommend to friends & family.

This was a great place to stay. Amazing views and really handy location that had plenty within walking distance but is easy access by car too. The place had everything we needed and was clean and comfortable.

The views from the balcony alone get their own 5 stars. I cannot recommend this condo enough if you’re looking for a nice relaxing getaway. Walking distance to food and bars. Amenities here are great. This place has everything you could need and has convinced me I should buy a backpack cooler for myself.

This is a go to place to stay! Beautiful private view, tide pools, and very comfortable accommodations. Owner provided great amenities for beach and day exploring trips. The local Snorkel Bobs, downtown Kona shops, and the fresh fruit of Farmers Market are all within walking distance to explore after a fun day of adventure. Your home away from home opportunity to explore the true Hawaii.

The rental is perfect! Great view, location and all th necessities! The pull out sofa is comfortably and we never needed the AC to cool off ( just keep the locked screen doors open at night). I would highly recommend this rental!



May 2023
The location is fantastic, full ocean view, centrally located, the pool and BBQ area is wonderful. The unit is nicely updated with all of the comforts of home. Look forward to visiting again soon. Mahalo

This is a fantastic condo to stay at! The location is perfect and puts you in walking distance of all the shops and restaurants. It was very clean, nice, and the views from the balcony can’t be beat! I look forward to staying here again.

Wonderful. Felt like we were wasting a ton of electricity- cooling the living room when we weren’t there- so the bedroom would be cool enough for sleeping. Next upgrade- a split mini is wonderful. Have used them in other units- quiet, cool (or heat) beautifully, and I suspect reduce the electric bill significantly.

Look no further if you want to stay close to town, have a fantastic view of the ocean, and stay in a clean, comfortable place. The hosts were friendly and responsive and check in and check out was a breeze. It was an amazing week!

This was one of the best vacation rentals I have ever stayed in! It is right on the coast next to a beach and a short distance to all the restaurants and shopping of downtown. The property management was very responsive and friendly!! We would definitely want to come back and recommend for anyone looking for a place to enjoy the sound of waves crashing and to watch sunsets!!

This resort is private and quiet but still walking distance to all the restaurants and bars of downtown Kona. We saw whales and dolphins from the lanai!

This is a fabulous unit. Really one of the best at Kona Reef (where we are also owners). The only critique I have is that the fold out bed was uncomfortable and not made up with sheets, etc.


Kim Z.

This place was nothing short of amazing. Top floor balcony overlooking the ocean where everyday we saw whales, dolphins, turtles, fish, and of course the beautiful sunset. The place was clean and came with anything you would ever need. I 10/10 recommend this place and we will definitely be coming back very soon.

We booked this last minute for a babymoon and visit with family in Kona. The owner was super quick to respond. Unit is clean (king size bed) and updated with new appliances. Easy walk to town/restaurants (and I’m 7.5 months pregnant). There’s a smart tv so you must log into your (hulu, Netflix, hbo etc) accounts to access streaming. There’s an elevator that can get you mostly to the top floor but still about 5-10 steps to access the the top floor if you aren’t able to walk the full 3 flights from street level. Easy/free parking. Nice grill and pool area with a hot tub. Great ocean front view with a 4 seat table on the lanai. Storage closet w beach chairs, cooler bag and umbrella really impressed us! Safe to say this place went above our expectations! Mahalo !
