Discover the enchanting allure of Kona Reef unit A27, a truly unique 1,020 square foot condo that stands out as one of the few available two-bedroom, two-bath units.

Located in the vibrant heart of Kailua-Kona Village, this condo is mere steps away from a sandy beach, where you can leisurely watch surfers, dolphins and whales (seasonally).

Since summer 2024, this remarkable unit has come under new ownership and management, benefiting from significant upgrades.

**Oceanfront Magic Awaits:**
We're thrilled to share that this stunning oceanfront unit offers breathtaking, unobstructed views of the sparkling ocean and the beautiful reef below. During the Hawaiian winter, you might notice vibrant ocean swells and refreshing winds that truly showcase the island's lively spirit. These natural elements can create a delightful saltwater mist on the glass, which may slightly alter your view but adds to the charm of the experience. Occasional winter swells, strong winds, and seasonal rain can bring a splash of adventure to your stay! We encourage you to embrace these wonderful aspects of island life when visiting Kona on the Big Island.

Don't let this opportunity slip away! Immerse yourself in the magic of Kona from this extraordinary oceanfront getaway. Book your stay at Kona Reef A27 today and start crafting memories that will last a lifetime!

Truly Fantastic Vacation

My family had a wonderful experience at your condo. It was absolutely perfect for our family. Everyone at the complex was incredibly friendly. One of the highlights of our stay was the tide pools. The were teeming with fish, and we had so much fun watching them. The location couldn't be beat. Restaurants everywhere and the food is fantastic. Thank you!

Amazing view!

This property had an amazing view that you simply can't beat anywhere else. The unit is a bit outdated but it had everything you could need and was in perfect walking distance to downtown. Waking up to the ocean and waves right in front of you every day was breathtaking.

Amazing views!!

We didn't want to leave! The panoramic views from this condo are breathtaking and never get old. From watching early morning surfers to midday fish and sunsets in the evening, there is always something mesmerizing to watch. We also saw multiple whales every day from the lanai (which was way better than our whale watching tour!). The condo itself is clean, comfortable, stylish, and well stocked. It is evident that the owners have put a lot of thought and care into the space. Further, the location is just a short walk to downtown Kona where we went daily for coffee, acai bowls, or happy hour. We even walked to 2 different farmer's markets to stock up on local produce. We can't wait to come back!

Great location - fantastic view

There are not enough words to describe the fantastic view from this unit. The location is also a huge plus, easy walking distance to everything you need. The unit was also well equipped with accessories. I would stay here again. This is the fourth unit we have stayed in over the years at this complex and we always enjoy our time there. That said, this particular unit was not as clean as expected, floors and windows, and the unit is showing its' wear and tear. The location is unbeatable.

Great Location

This was our 3rd time staying at Kona Reef. We really like the location of the complex, and especially love the oceanfront units. On the positive side, this unit had everything we needed - from cooking to beach stuff to a cooler and ice packs and binoculars and flashlight for a trip to Volcano National Park. As others have noted, the unit itself could use some refreshing, and I have provided some specific suggestions to the owner which I hope will enable this unit to go from very nice to great!

Amazing stay!

The view and location of this unit was amazing. I'd have to say A27 is probably one of the best units in this building for sunsets. It could use a bit of updating but very clean and with a great layout. The kitchen was very well stocked with dishes, cutlery, knives, pots/pans, storage containers (nice surprise), coffee pot/grinder. We discovered the blender was broken one night and it was replaced within hours. Amazing! If coffee in the morning is a must and you are arriving late, I would recommend bringing coffee with you as there was none when we arrived. I would highly recommend this unit for anyone that was considering visiting Kona.

Great view, But...

If it wasn't for the view, the location and the attentiveness of the staff and host, this would be @ 2 stars at best. The view is unmatched and the location to town is incredibly convenient. However, when we arrived the A/C was turned off as well as the ceiling fans and the internet router was unplugged. The first night was uncomfortably warm and we discovered it was partly because 2 of the 3 ceilings fans were only able to go at low speed. We were able to have the fans replaced and all was well in the end. Now that the fans have been replaced I would recommend this unit to others. Slightly dated and worn but for us the view made up for that.

Nice place

This property as a whole is a different set up. You take an elevator but still have to go up or down 6 stairs to get to the floor of your unit. This unit was spacious and the view couldn’t be better! The guest room could really use up dating, the blinds were falling off the window, there was really no decor. A mirror and a luggage rack would’ve been nice. The guest bathroom was clean but dish jet feel clean because of how dated things were. I was also disappointed that there was no soap or shampoo in that bathroom. The master was very nice! There were beach toys, chairs, umbrellas, tennis rackets and snorkeling gear in the closet. The ac didn’t work great but was helpful. We couldn’t figure out how to get spectrum on the tv. Over all it was a nice place.

Sound of waves all day and night!

The location of this property to shopping and restaurants was wonderful! An easy walk into town. The location of the condo on the property was perfect. Oceanfront and could see the pool area also. Views for days! Inside was clean and comfortable. Luckily there were lots of fans because the small AC didn’t do its job and we ended up giving up on using the fans only even though it was quite warm while we were there. It was a great condo and we would stay again.
