This is a very nice property with a superbly supplied kitchen and bathrooms. It had plenty of everything you would need to prepare meals. Beds were comfortable and the lanai was spacious. You couldn't ask for a nicer view. Glorious!

Great location to walk to shops, restaurants, etc. Loved being able to step out and enjoy the water. There’s even a little beach area a few steps away. The place was clean and just as pictured.

The views alone are stunning. Being able to walk into town for coffee or dinner was a huge plus along with beach chairs, towels and a cooler. The condo was perfect for our week vacation and we will stay again!

The location is amazing! Parking is convenient and pool is nice. However, we spent the first 3 days coordinating with maintenance to get the AC repaired, the toilet fixed and the bedroom door to shut, all was fixed. After that the construction started in the unit above - pounding, sawing drilling all day for 5 days - buyer beware...this is to go on until the end of July. I gave feedback to the host and his response was less than empathetic to our experience and no compensation was offered. I would not return.

We loved our stay, the location was great to walk into town. Great restaurants close by to sit and relax by the ocean. The condo was clean and met our needs for the long weekend. We had a rental car to go explore the island during the day, but enjoyed walking into town for dinner and drinks in the evenings.

Best Unit in the entire building. Hard to see key pad and each touch means a number. We had trouble gettting in first time but learned after not receiving call back from host. The unit was great. We have stayed at this complex before and this unit is the best not only location but updated unit made the stay perfect. Host did help us with making the reservation and overall would love to stay here again.

The only complaint I had was how loud the ocean is when the slider is open.....that is how close you are to the ocean!!! Fantastic spot. We enjoyed watching surfers from the lanai every morning and evening. Walking into town daily is a breeze. Great location to adventure from. Well stocked kitchen with nice appliances. We hope to be back again soon!!

If watching the big waves and walking to favorite spots is your jam, this condo is for you. We were perfectly comfortable here, with its classy furnishings and comfy bed. The deck was a favorite spot for hanging out watching the surfers. If you want socializing, the pool and deck area seemed to be the spot for condo residents to gather at sunset. Owner Kathy was available night or day to answer questions. Highly recommend this rental .

Our stay in D24 at the Kona Reef Condos was the perfect location for exploring the west cost of Kona. The condo was clean and well stocked with everything we needed. For our time in May we didn’t need to use the AC if we kept the lanai doors open and the ceiling fans on. The owners provided detailed and useful information for check-in/out. We would stay here again!

![Kona Reef Beachfront Getaway]()
We absolutely loved our stay at this beachfront condo! The unit on the top floor and overlooks a small beach with beautiful ocean views. It's fun to sit on the lanai and watch the activity at the beach and body boarders and surfers ride the waves out front. The beach is a bit rocky at the entrance so it's not the best spot for casual swimming or snorkeling but there are plenty of places a close drive away for these activities. The unit itself is nicely decorated and well appointed with amenities including a good supply of beach gear (snorkeling equipment, body boards, cooler, chairs, beach towels etc.). The grounds are very nice and there is a swimming pool, jacuzzi, BBQ area and a grassy strip of lawn with chairs right in front of the ocean (great for sunset views). My wife and I found the bed to be very comfortable as well. Location is also great, with a short walk to downtown Kona and multiple restaurants and shops. The owner, Marni, was great on all communications and responded promptly to any questions or comments we had. My wife and I kept commenting on how expensive accommodations like this would have been at a hotel, not to mention the added benefit of being able to prepare some of your meals at home and enjoy on the lanai with ocean views. As a side note, for activities on the Big Island, my wife and I really enjoyed the sunset / stargazing tour on Mauna Kea and nigh time snorkeling with the Manta Rays. I highly recommend this place for a great visit to Paradise!

We absolutely loved it because of the lanai overlooking an excellent surf spot. surfers and boogie boarders every morning and night with big waves. The interior decorating was unusual to say the least but we found it interesting and enjoyed ourselves very much. We had a little trouble with the tv but that is because we are somewhat clueless about controls, streaming etc.

My family and I had a great stay at Paulette and Marty's condo in Kailua-Kona. The condo was clean and stocked with everything our small family could need. It was so nice to have easy access to Honl's Beach and to be within easy walking distance to town and nearby amenities.

My husband and I stayed in the condo for four nights during the second leg of our trip to the big island. It was a great size for the two of us and having the balcony was fantastic for morning coffee and evening views as well. Great location that is walkable to town without all the noise and traffic of town!

This unit looked great in photos, and was even better in person! The moment my husband walked thru the house and onto the lanai, he said "good job" (in picking the rental).I filtered listings that were oceanfront, ac, king bed, and the highest reviews. I cannot say how impressed I was with the home's cleanliness. After staying in many different vacation rentals, I notice the little things like dust in places that don't get used much. This home made me feel at home, and honestly inspired me to clean the little things at my own home after lol.The heated pool and spa are fantastic. Theres also lounge chairs outside the fenced in pool area you can watch the ocean or sunset.There is privacy inside the unit as well, where you can sit on the couch and watch the ocean. Steve and Amber make the stay easy. They give you the info you need, but make you feel completely comfortable to enjoy your vacation. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Steve and Amber. We hope to return.

We four adults (all over the age of 67) thoroughly enjoyed the gorgeous view of the rocky beach and surfers from the second floor balcony. The apartment was clean and ready for our arrival. While the listing did NOT specify there was easy access to the public beach (next door to our building) we thought the access from the building might be easier than having to walk out of the building area and access from the street. Our only suggestion regarding the apartment itself would be to provide a floor fan that could be relocated to the end of the hallway (closest to bedrooms) to help draw the air conditioned air from the window unit air conditioner in the front living room into the bedrooms for a cooler night’s sleep. It was a wonderful experience and my hubby and I would definitely stay in this unit again!

We had an outstanding stay at this top-floor oceanfront unit. The view was absolutely incredible—one of the best we’ve ever experienced. The condo had been recently remodeled, and the owner’s care and craftsmanship were evident throughout. They were also very gracious and welcoming. The property manager was top-notch, checking in several times to make sure everything was going smoothly.We also loved the quiet atmosphere of the complex—it made for a truly relaxing stay. The hot tub and pool were both excellent, and the location couldn’t have been better. We enjoyed being able to walk to several great restaurants nearby. This place checked all the boxes, and we’d gladly stay here again!

The view from the lanai is amazing and what drew us to this rental.However, the building is 40 years old and unlike this one, most other units have been remodelled (we've stayed in others that were fine). We had booked 6 nights, but stayed only one and were refunded the remainder.The smell of cleaning agent and deodorizer is overpowering upon entering. The air conditioner has to run constantly to keep the main living area comfortable and the bedroom in back has no airflow whatsoever. It needs a separate AC unit. The pillows and cases provided for the sofabed were badly stained.The bathroom is original, like something out of a 1970's era motel. The unit needs a complete remodel in order to justify the price.

The view from the unit is fantastic. My favorite part of this place is there was ocean noise the whole time so if we were on the patio the only thing you could hear was the waves breaking. What a treat to have natures noisemaker drowning out any other noises. Great location too! Walking distance to great food, drinks and coffee. The unit was very clean and larger than we expected. The kitchen was well stocked too! Overall we were all very pleased with this unit and would stay here again in a heartbeat.

The four of us stayed four nights and were thrilled to find the condo very clean, and beautifully stocked with everything we could need (beach equipment, kitchen spices, paper goods, even shampoo and soap, cleaning supplies). It is perfectly located. The building is older, so no central AC, but a good LR unit and fans made it adequately cool. We would return for sure.
