Waterfront paradise

Great location right on the water. Tremendous views up and down the coast and of small next door beach. Walking distance to downtown shops, bars and restaurants. Plenty to do on the island if you rent a car to get to beaches, hiking and much more. Stayed here two years in a row. A place to make memories.

Wonderful stay, all as described!

We absolutely loved the condo, and as so many others - the lanai, where we spent hours watching the waves, surfers, spotting fish and turtles. It is very well equipped (including the kitchen, beach towels, beach equipment) and the location is excellent, within walking distance to numerous restaurants and shops. Jim has been an amazing host, offering accommodations if needed and sharing extensive guidance to local attractions and restaurants. All of that has been very helpful and we truly enjoyed our stay in Kona!

Perfect location!

We spent 9 nights at the condo over Christmas- 2 adults and our two young adult kids. We couldn’t ask for a better location. Best view ever, walking distance to town, good parking and lots of amenities in the condo (beach gear, fully equipped kitchen etc.). Highly recommend Kona Reef and Jim and Nancy’s condo in particular!

Best Location, View, and Hosts

We had a wonderful time at the Kona Reef condo! The condo felt much larger than the listing photos showed and there was plenty of room for 4 adults. The bedrooms and bathrooms were spacious, clean, and very comfortable (beds and temperature). The kitchen was well equipped and we enjoyed many dinners on the patio. Will definitely be back next we visit Kona!!

Absolutely incredible!

The view from the lanai was so beautiful, we never wanted to leave! We really appreciated the comfy lounge chairs and made good use of them watching the dolphins and surfers all day long. Beds were extremely comfortable and the unit has all you would need for a trip to the beach to preparing meals in the fully stocked kitchen. Yes, the unit has not been updated but everything was in excellent repair and very clean and and comfortable and that is all that mattered to us! As amazing as this unit was the best part of this rental were the owners Jim and Nancy. Their communication with us was the best we have ever encountered in all our years of renting. Their obvious dedication to ensuring our stay was perfect was so appreciated and we loved the mid stay information email we received from them-so fun! Thank you for an awesome stay, we will be back!

Beautiful Condo, Wonderful Vacation

My family of four stayed at this Kona property during Christmas week, 2024. This condo is a wonderful two bedroom unit, facing the ocean. We spent many hours on the lanai, enjoying incredibile views of the ocean. The complex is quiet and peaceful, even though it is a short walk from shops and restaurants in downtown Kailua-Kona. The complex also has a pool (facing the ocean) and ample parking. The unit was well stocked with essentials, and the owner provided beach towels, chairs, toys, etc that we could use during our stay. I have stayed at many Vrbo properties in past. This unit was definitely one of my favorites. It is the first one where I thought the unit was actually nicer than the pictures. And by far, this unit has the best and most involved owner. He sent us all the information we needed for check-in and parking before we arrived, he answered every email or text promptly, and provided a wealth of information on local attractions Hawaii trivia. We loved our stay, and highly recommend this unit.

Paradise in Kona

Wonderful place! This condo is right on the ocean, and we spent much of our time out on the lanai where we watched turtles, surfers, boats, parasailers, cruise ships, and the most beautiful sunsets. The condo is equipped with everything one would need during their stay. We found the beds to be comfortable, and the living area had very comfortable furniture. The owners were great with lots of communication, and immediately answered any questions that we had. We highly recommend this place, and would definitely stay there again!

Fantastic condo

This was our first time to the big island and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Waking up to the waves just feet from the lanai was the best. And watching whales and all the ocean activities going on you really don’t need to leave this condo. This condo is so close to Kona it makes it so easy to go out for dinner, or just stroll through town. We also appreciated all the helpful information that was provided to us by Jim. We’re hoping to come back for a longer stay to explore the rest of the island.
