Just perfect! The space was quiet, clean, and very well appointed with a fully stocked kitchen and beach gear. The bed was so comfortable! We loved sitting on the lanai to watch the sunset and listen to the sounds of waves crashing below. The pool area was never crowded and the grills in the common area were spotless. Parking was easy and the location was convenient.The only issue we had was a problem with a faulty kitchen appliance and it was resolved in less than 24 hours. We were very impressed with the level of responsiveness. The communication ahead of our visit was great too, absolutely no complaints. Highly recommend this location for your next visit to the Kona area!

This is a very clean and tidy condo. It has just enough of everything we needed. The view is gorgeous. We enjoyed watching surfers and the evening sunsets. It's an easy walk into town. We would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful condo with a beautiful view overlooking the ocean. Enjoyed the friendly and respectful neighbors. Surprisingly quiet for such a short walk to downtown. Our host is super responsive, friendly, and helpful. Could not have asked for better!

The location and ocean view were lovely, and the sunsets were truly beautiful. Unfortunately, the unit itself did not live up to the description or the photos. While the ad described it as “beautifully upgraded,” I did not see anything that appeared new or updated. The space felt very tired, musty, and in need of a VERY deep clean.Although the listing noted air conditioning, the windows were so old and dirty that they could not be properly closed, making the A/C ineffective. The bed was comfortable, but the sheets had not been washed and had to be cleaned before use. Most of the light bulbs in the unit were burnt out, and there were no replacements available.The building overall is quite rundown, and the unit needs maintenance and care to match what is being advertised. The view was the highlight, but we would not stay here again.

This place earns a top rating because of its sensational view; cleanliness; furnishings and amenities; superior proximity to shops and dining and owner responsiveness. It has everything we needed and nothing that we didn't need. Everything works, we were comfortable with the sea breeze coming through by day and with the A/C at night. We would definitely stay here again.

Convenient location, enjoyed many activities around Kona, walkable to town. Several great snorkeling beaches in the area. Easily accommodated 6 adults, enjoyed the lanai and views every morning and evening! The pool /hot tub are great. The only issues is the carpet is stained in several spots, some outlets don’t work, and the dishwasher smells musty. But that being said, I would definitely book again. Location made everyone in our group happy!

Had a fantastic stay at Kona Reef. This condo was very clean, well stocked, and really had everything we needed. The location was perfect, and we especially loved sitting on the lanai and looking out at the ocean and listening to the waves. From the moment we booked it to the moment we checked out, communication from the rental agency was excellent. Thank you for the great stay! Will definitely be back next trip to the Big Island!

We really enjoyed our stay! The condo was updated, clean and very comfortable. It was walking distance to Kona shops and restaurants. After a day of exploring the island or visiting a beach it was nice to come back to. The beach chairs and umbrella, cooler and snorkel gear were also very much appreciated. We also enjoyed the pool and cooking area although the grills could be updated. They didn’t always heat up. We loved sitting on the lanai watching the waves, surfers and of course the beautiful sunsets.

Lovely oceanfront condo with amazing sunset views! Loved falling asleep every night listening to the ocean waves crashing very nearby. Pool/hot tub/BBQ just steps away and conventionally located close to restaurants/bars. Will definitely stay again when heading back to the Big Island!

Great ocean view location and coffee on the balcony could not be beat. AC worked great. Plenty of supplies in the kitchen. Extras for enjoying the ocean/beach in the deck box. Decor has changed since VRBO photos, and was a bit more vibrant than I expected. Enjoyed our time there with easy walk to town, dining and Ironman activities. Hosts were quick to answer questions!

It was very well- equipped and clean. Quite comfortable. But the sliding glass door was very heavy and the lock was broken. The ac unit worked well but was very noisy

B34 was so thoughtfully equipped! Plenty of dishes so we only ran the dishwasher once through the week. All paper products, trash bags, laundry detergent, soap, etc was provided and we were specifically asked to request more if needed! Marni was super easy to work with too. One restaurant to add to your list is Umekes near Kona Brewing Co (also a fun place!). The fresh ahi at Umekes was amazing!

We have stayed at Kona Reef more than 10 times in many of the ground floor ocean facing units and this was probably the best.Well appointed, air conditioned throughout, great cable tv that also allowed streaming. Thanks Casago, we'll be back.

The property was just what we wanted & hoped for. Great views across the ocean & beautiful sunsets.The aoartment was great with fans in each room, it was spacious and didnt get too warm during the day. There were extensive cooking facilities and lots of little extras that you would have at home.The bed was super comfy (a black out curtain would help though), bathroom was good with a nice large shower.Plenty of parking & the location wise was about 20min walk to the pier area.All in all we had a great stay and love this placed. If we could, we'd definitely want to teturn here.

Property is accurately described. Unit is spacious and comfortable. They have done a nice job of setting up the lanai, a great place for breakfast each morning. The unit is the first unit to the road, so loud cars and their music can be a momentary alarm clock, but wasn’t a big issue for us. The view of the beach/park is kinda along the side of the building. It isn’t directly ocean front. Again, accurate by the description and commensurate with the cost. I would rent the unit again and appreciated the attention of the host and management company any time we needed something.

Well appointed condo with a significant amount of extras that were appreciated (i.e. cooler, beach chairs, umbrella, yoga mats, etc.). Kitchen is well equipped from storage containers to appropriate pool vs. indoor dishware.

Everything was perfect except the unit has a bad smell to it. We sat outside most of the time and having the air/fans on helped.

This property was perfect for our stay in Kona. Location, location, location! The views from the lanai are amazing. From watching surfers in the morning, to cruise ships in the afternoon, and finally having front row seats for spectacular sunsets. Honl's Beach is right out the door and the Kona restaurant district (near the pier) is just a short walk from the condo. Check-in and check-out were very easy and communication with the property manager was met with a quick response. This property is truly a 10 out of 10!

Perfect home away from home. Condo has every possible amenity you'd ever need, from coffee grinder to binoculars. Beautiful views from the lanai, privacy on the 2nd floor, easy parking in garage. Place was very clean and quiet and all the large and small appliances worked like they should. Keyless entry made it simple for everyone to come and go on their own. Bedrooms were a bit warm at night but we found a floor fan that made it better. An easy one mile walk to the pier with lots of shops and restaurants in between. Absolutely the best place for us.

We loved that we were walking distance into town, and also that it was a perfect location for the Ironman World Championships.The condo is right on the ocean, so we enjoyed watching the boogey boarders and surfers on most days, as well as beautiful sunsets.The condo was clean, and we appreciated the management contacts throughout. I would definitely stay here again.

This was conveniently located 1 mile from the Ironman World Championships, an event I worked at this year. Communication before and during the trip was very easy. AC in the bedroom was great for sleeping and we only used the living room AC a couple times briefly. Fantastic view from the lanai. Easy to get groceries delivered from Walmart if you don’t have a car rental. Pool was lovely because it’s definitely toasty. Easy to walk to all kinds of restaurants and shops. Hard to swim from the shore at Honl beach due to the reef (or perhaps the time I tried tide conditions weren’t ideal) but it’s about a mile walk to a popular swim spot on the Ironman course and lots of other small beaches around. Quick Lyft from the airport. Could not find a toaster so keep that in mind for groceries but microwave and fridge available. Didn’t use the stove/oven. Traditional coffee maker (not Keurig) but we didn’t use that either. Very humid environment so the usual quirks associated with that are present in this rental. Overall met our needs for the week!

Overall was a good stay. The good: amazing views, enough room for four to relax, short walk to restaurants and shopping, on the Ironman track, everything you need in kitchen, plenty of beach accessories, easy parking, and quick response to issues.The bad: misunderstanding with the cleaning crew so the condo was not cleaned prior to our arrival. The AC compressor went out the week or so before our stay and we were not informed or workaround provided until after complaining (although was quickly responded to and maintenance guy arrived the following morning with a window AC). Could use some updating, especially in the back bathroom.

There are positives and negatives with this property. The biggest negative for us was a lack of air conditioning in the bedrooms. There is only an air conditioner in the living room. It should be opposite. The positive is the ocean view and location to the downtown area.
