Private, top floor, absolute oceanfront, lovely one bedroom condo at the highly acclaimed Kona Reef Resort!

Modern Appliances:

• Brand New Efficient, Quiet Daikin 24 BTU Air conditioner to cool the entire suite!
• Dish washer,
• Washer/dryer in the unit
• Stove
• Refrigerator
Elegant, large wall to wall mirrors to bring the beautiful ocean and sunset view into the living room! Spacious absolute oceanfront lanai (balcony) for romantic dining and year round sunset viewings.

Why Kona Reef:

• Conveniently located along the prestigious Alii Drive in the heart of Kona town.
• It’s a 5 minute walk in your flip-flops down a low traffic side street (along the ocean) to the village where you will enjoy shopping, dining, nightlife, and other attractions in historic Kailua Village. Walking is better than being caught in downtown traffic, while searching for an elusive parking spot.
• It’s only a few steps to the romantic Honl's Beach; offering snorkeling on calm days, sandy area for kids and sunning, and a hugely popular surf spot when the waves are up.
• It’s one of the few Resorts to offer a heated, salt-water pool adjacent to the ocean.
• It also has a jet spa, barbecue facility & pavilion, elevators, on property and free under and above ground parking for guests, in a zone where parking is a valued commodity. It is difficult to find free parking in Kona town. Kona Reef Resort is in the heart of Kona town. It is only about 10 mins walk to town. No need to drive to town and try to find a place to park or pay for parking. This makes Kona Reef Resort uniquely desirable and sought after!

Why Top Floor, Ocean Front is best:
(Kona Reef has elevators with only a few stairs on each landing):

• Best views of ocean and year round sunsets from lanai, living area and kitchen.
• Best privacy; which is compromised on the first and second floor units.
• Best security; leave the lanai door open 24 hours to enjoy ocean breeze and sound.
• This Ocean front suite is 23 feet from (7 meters) the shoreline. You can watch the surfers, with occasional sightings of whales and dolphins.

What’s Included:

• Bedding includes a California King and a queen size sofa-bed with deluxe mattress in the living room, accommodating up to 4 guests.
• Romantic décor.
• Fully equipped kitchen.
• Bath tub, with a shower.
• Soaps, toiletries, and hairdryer.
• Beach gears, beach towels, cooler.
• 48" flat screen LED smart TV in the living room and 40" new flat screen TV in the bedroom for your enjoyment.
• Living room has ceiling fan and brand new efficient, cool, quiet air conditioner to cool the entire suite. Bedroom also has ceiling fan over the California King canopy bed giving a comfortable and soothing breeze while you sleep.
• Washer and dryer in the suite, and all utilities.
• Professional, licensed property manager.
• Professional cleaning crew.

I have lived in Kona for 30 years. I purchased this condo because Kona Reef has the best location in Kona and because top floor, ocean front is the best location in the Kona Reef Resort. I take pride in my condo. I want my guests to:

• enjoy a comfortable, hassle free stay,
• feel they had one of their best ever vacations, and
• feel they received high value, at a fair price.

Kona Reef Suite D32 is managed by a bona fide property management company in Kona. The office is in the heart of town on Alli Drive, only 10 mins’ walk from Kona Reef. We hire a professional cleaning crew.

If you are looking for a superb location, breathtaking direct oceanfront view with year round sunset, an elegantly decorated suite at reasonable rates with a team of efficient, friendly and helpful staff to see to it that your check-in is seamless and your stay is comfortable and enjoyable, you have come to the right place! Look no further! Book now before your requested dates are filled!

Beautiful Views, but Condo needs updates

My husband and I just stayed over Memorial Day weekend. We rented this condo for ocean view, and yes the view from Lanai was absolutely gorgeous. We really liked sitting outside. Unfortunately the condo itself, we did not like. The bed was very uncomfortable, hard and we could feel the springs which made our back hurt. The mattress seems to be very old and definitely needs replacing. The the decor was not cozy for us too. Half of the unit was nice island theme which was over powered by red bourgeoisie looking items. We come to the island a lot, and next time will look for a different ocean view condo.

Great Location Great Condo

Our 2nd time at this resort. 1st time in this condo. It was clean, well appointed kitchen, located close to a sand beach, easy walk to town for restaurants, shopping, and pier. Close to other beaches, restaurants, grocery, etc. Met several other travelers & all cordial. On site office staff gave us a map and suggested places to see. Definitely would stay here again. And recommend to friends.

EXCACTLY what we needed...

We LOVED this place, RIGHT on the water - simply everything we hoped for, for the two of us for our 12 day stay, clean and comfortable!! For our meals, we cooked at "home", had everything we needed, walked a little bit for some choices or a little bit further for A LOT of choices in Kona proper - for average active people it's that close for all the shopping and excursions! We enjoyed the pool too - this property is as it IS as viewed in pictures, wifi worked great as well

Perfect base for Ironman World Champioships

We have stayed in the complex before so knew the location was excellent, just a 20min easy walk to the Pier. This Condo, facing directly out to the ocean was amazing. We ate out on the Lani every day. The sea breeze cooled the condo and we only needed the Air conditioner on late in the afternoon. We used the pool and BBQ everyday. We would 100% book this condo again.

Great views from the balcony

Was a nice unit. Bed was comfortable. The views from the balcony were fantastic for viewing the sunsets. It's also relaxing to watch the boats. Pool area was nice and clean as was the grilling area. Kitchen area had plenty of utensils and cooking pans. Washer and dryer worked out nicely. AC unit kept it comfortable when we were in the unit. Basically like having a little apartment away from home. The downtown area was within walking distance as well. Would definitely stay there again.

The place is small, but has a great location, ocean view, and has all necessary to have a good time.

We really enjoy this place! The apartment was cleaned, organized, and had several kitchen appliances to use. They provided us with towels and the basics to start (few toilet paper rolls, hand soap, dish detergent, etc.). Indeed, this was a great option for us, close to restaurants, beaches, and stores. Also, we had a question and the owner responded right away..... that is great customer service! If you are looking for an affordable place with all the basics for your vacation, the comfort , and convenience of a great location, this is the place to be! Gabriela W.

Great location!

Thank you Annie for sharing your wonderful condo with us. My husband and I spent 4 nights of our Big Island vacation at D-32. Some may find the non-Hawaiian decor a bit off-putting (to us oddly charming), but the quality of the furnishings and the cleanliness were superb. The location, just 5-10 minutes on foot to downtown Kailua (and Lava Java for breakfast!), is perfect. We loved being truly oceanfront and on the third floor so we had no one tromping on our ceiling. The bed is quite comfortable, and the kitchen amenities are more than adequate; there's even a rice cooker! We took advantage of the beach supplies in the cabinet on the lanai (beach mats, chairs, styrofoam cooler, among others). My only suggestion would be to add a screen door to the lanai to allow us to enjoy the cool breeze and ocean sounds inside without worrying about insects entering. Thanks again Annie!

A Week In Paradise!

We just spent 9 nights at this wonderful Kona Reef Resort Oceanfront Suite D-32. It truly is "ocean front"! We never did close our sliding door as it is located on the 4th floor so there is no problem with security and you can hear the waves crashing all night long and the cool breeze that flows through the unit is perfect. The photos that are on this web site depict the unit exactly. The California King bed was the main reason we rented this unit and we were not disappointed. It was very comfortable! The kitchen was well stocked and everything was readily available. We walked to the Farmers Market & bought fresh fruit & veggies & grilled out on the BBQs available pool side. The location is absolutely perfect! Every evening we would meet out on our lanai & watch the sun set together. Both the owner & the property manager called us through-out our week, checking on our comfort and well-being. Annie even brought over a brand new juicer so we could have fresh squeezed orange juice every morning! Yes, it truly was a week in paradise!!

Outdated but the view was amazing.

We recently stayed in this condo for 5 days in June. The view from the lanai is absolutely beautiful and the condo was affordable in comparison to others with a similar view. We enjoyed watching the surfers from the lanai and also thought the outdoor mirrors were a nice addition. We loved the location. We were able to walk to restaurants and bars every night. The pool and hot tub were nice as well and the security was very friendly. The entire condo is outdated but it didn't bother us very much and we appreciated that the staff left dish soap, laundry detergent, a sponge, etc. for us to use without having to purchase them. The cons- The bedroom was very warm although using the fans did help. We found that if the A/C in the living room wasn't running all day that the bedroom would be uncomfortably warm at night. The bed itself was not very comfy either and the window is not shut so I found myself waking up several times to people outside of the condo walking with luggage or opening the door next to us. The bathroom was not bad except the vanity lights would warm the bathroom up quite a bit and the bathroom fan did not work. The toilet filled up really high which wasn't really a problem. The living room couch needs to be updated. It feels kind of dirty when sitting on it but other than that we had no issues.

nice place right on the ocean

But the AC is only in the main room, the bedroom does not have AC and there is no air flow back there. We set up fans and it was still quite hot in the bedroom. the owners are *very* nice and brought over fans. If you're sensitive to heat, check with the owners to see if the AC has been installed in the back yet!

Great Location & View

What this place has going for it is location and view. It is very close to town, so you don't have to get into a car and drive. The view is amazing and the sounds of waves crashing below your balcony all day were wonderful. They advertize it sleeps 4, however the unit is not large enough for 4 adults. Possibly 2 small children in addition to two adults. The king bed takes up pretty much the entire bedroom and there is nowhere to put your luggage, so we needed the living room area for luggage, etc. The amenities are pretty much the same as most condo units where you can do some basic food preparation. The outdoor grill area is great! They keep it well maintained and very clean. Also, you need a pool key to get to the grills unlike other condos we have stayed at where grills are available to anyone that comes onto the property. We would book this place again given the price and location.
