I can not say enough about our hosts. I realized on the day we were set to arrive that i had made an error on the booking dates. I reached out to Regina and Scott to see if they could accommodate one extra day due to my error (I thought it was unlikely). Regina went out of her way to accommodate us. I was thrilled and so appreciative. Best hosts ever!!! In addition, the condo was just what we needed. The million dollar view and great location to walk to everything on Ali'i Drive was perfect. We also enjoyed the washer and dryer that is located in the unit. It was essential to us being able to pack lighter!!! Thanks again to Regina and Scott. I can't recommend them as hosts enough!

This is a very nice, well appointed condo in a great location! Furniture appears to be new. Quiet, well maintained building with its own nice amenities. Beautiful view of the ocean and surfers. We ate on the deck on numerous occasions because we thought it was the best location in town.Regina and Scott answered all questions quickly and there were zero problems. Thank you both for sharing your beautiful condo.

We made a last minute decision that staying in a hotel setting was not our style, so for the last two days of our vacation, we searched for a condo in Kailua Kona and found a stunningly lovely, clean and tranquil unit at Kona Reef. We were quite lucky to have found it, and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We have been renting at another complex for 40 years, and been very happy, but this unit definitely has moved to our top choice for future stays. Regina and Scott were incredibly helpful in helping us, even arranging for an early check in. We were exhausted from a sleepless night at the Volcano House and ready to relax. They mentioned they have been doing some interior decor updates and weren't quite finished, but honestly, we found it beautiful. Everything one needs was there. View is outstanding and lanai time was perfect for relaxing. Thank you Regina and Scott. See you again for sure.

We spent 6 wonderful nights in Kona at this lovely, well appointed, oceanfront condo. It’s peaceful and within walking distance of Much of Kona town. I used the pool a few days with the key provided and the water was comfortable and clean. The AC in the living room and bedroom works great. The host kindly provided a starter package of coffee and some chocolate covered macadamias. The best feature is the view from the lanai. We enjoyed spectacular sunsets and morning ocean views before heading out to explore the island. There’s a great reference notebook of things to do and recommended restaurants. We especially enjoyed our seafood dinners at Merriman’s in Waimea (splurge and 1 hour drive each way), Umeke’s and Jackie Rey’s, the last 2 a short drive from the condo. Snorkeling at Two Step Beach south of the condo was great! We even saw a Monk Seal resting on the sea floor. The host are caretaker were very responsive and saw to our needs. Highly recommend!

We knew from the minute we stepped inside the condo, that we had found paradise. It was equipped with everything we would need for our stay. We, easily, prepared several dinners in the kitchen and enjoyed eating on the lanai/balcony, watching the sunsets. The bed was soooo comfortable, sleep came easily. Great restaurants were just a short walk away, cute shops were fun to browse, and walking along the Main Street with the ocean right next to us was amazing. The location was perfect. Both the owners, Regina and Scott, and the housekeeper, Linda, were very responsive to all needs. I think one of our favorite things to do was to sit on the lanai, listening to the waves crashing on the rocks right in front of us and watching the the movement of the ebb and flow of the water. We can't wait to return!! Mahalo Regina and Scott!

Our stay was wonderful. The condo was clean and very organized. Everything we needed (and more) was provided, from beach towels and boogie boards to dishes and coffee. Ailin was responsive and helpful, both before and during our stay. We would not hesitate to rent from Ailin in the future.

The top floor condo with a fabulous view of the ocean was very comfortable, nicely decorated with split unit air conditioning in bedroom and living room. It was very well stocked with coffee, condiments, snacks and plenty of beach toys including umbrellas, chairs, snorkel equipment and beach chairs. We appreciated the location very much. It was in a quiet location but still close enough to walk to great restaurants and shops nearby in Kona. Communication with our host was fantastic and she proactively checked in with us and responded via text promptly when we had any questions. We would highly recommend the condo and would stay here again.

This was such a great condo we stayed in. There were many little things the owners did to make us feel welcome (a welcome basket of goodies, checking in with us the day after we arrived, etc.). We had an issue with the pull out couch and the owner's response was immediate (on a Sunday!) and it was fixed within hours. Very, very impressive. The condo was clean and well stocked. Particularly, we enjoyed the beach supplies (especially the beach umbrella) and the binoculars. The complex is very quiet and the pool/hot tub were nice. Great options for grilling. And the views...incredible! Would highly recommend!

Great trip and exactly as we expected. Location is terrific and waterfront patio was incredible. Unit is on the top floor, AC worked great and the condo was well stocked with paper items, etc. I’d love to see some nicer bedsheets, warmer lighting in the bathroom and lounge chairs on the patio, but that’s just my bougie side coming out. ;) Thanks for a great stay!

The condo is in an ideal location, just a short walk to town. My wife competed in Ironman WC and we found the location perfect for this as well. I used the condo easily as home base during the event.
The unit is quaint with a spacious lanai with incredible sunset views!!!
Ailin is wonderful and provided extremely responsive communication and very clear directions for use of the condo and amenities.
We felt like we were in our own home away from home in the condo. There was a binder with comprehensive recommendations for touring the island (beaches, restaurants, etc) that we took full advantage of during our stay.
We have recommended the unit to many friends already!!
Mahalo Ailin for being the perfect host!!

Owner was very thorough re providing a book with operations of all things in the condo as well as things to do in the area. Very responsive to text messages and providing binoculars and a telescope to observe all the ocean activity. Great view of the ocean. Unit styled in a old HawAii style with all amenities.

The views were excellent, right on the water. We had coffee and cocktails on the lanai. Everything we needed was in the condo. We walked into town for shopping and dinner. We drove around the island for tours of coffee farms and art shops. It was quiet and relaxing.

This property was great, had a minor hiccup but it was addressed swiftly and resolved. The unit was perfect for the two of us. Beautiful mornings on the lanai with coffee looking over the ocean. Close proximity to manta ray snorkeling and one of our favorite beaches magic sands. Would book this unit again!

Had a great time in Kona.
The condo was in a perfect location to walk to shops and restaurants, and to run along the water.
It was stocked with everything we needed, from beach chairs and coolers, to having an ice maker in the fridge.
Would definitely stay here again.
