About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire condo to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Kona Reef Beachfront / Top Floor / Air Con / Free WiFi / Walk to Town

What's not to love? Imagine the big smile on your face when you walk through the door of this freshly renovated, top-floor, jewel of a condo... a place you get to call your Kailua-Kona "home" away from home.

You're gonna love your Kona Reef Beachfront getaway. You can enjoy the "local-style" ambience and convenience of the in-town walk-to-everything location, while being in an oceanfront complex with a great ocean view. The public beach right next door is super convenient for swimming, snorkeling and surfing. From sunbathers to yoga classes, to picnics and people-watching, the view from your top-floor lanai provides a different beach scene every day.

You'll be charmed by the beachy, eclectic, tropical decor -- a blend of retro "Hawaiiana" with a touch of understated whimsy. Enjoy the top-quality finishes, selected to convey a simple warmth as well as durability. Split-system Air Conditioning installed Dec. 2020 keeps both living room and bedroom cool. The expanded kitchen features bamboo cabinets, white "cloud-like" quartz countertop, art glass backsplash, and shell mosaic pendant lighting. The bathroom was inspired by the colors of sand and sea, and has a custom walk-in shower that features a rain head, bamboo glass panel and handy corner seat. Sturdy bamboo-pattern vinyl flooring ties everything together to complete the natural ambience. Your top-floor lanai is the perfect place to enjoy a relaxing breakfast, or watch the waves and beach activities. You might be inspired to head on down to the beach, where you can picnic, wade, swim, snorkel or maybe even join a yoga class. The condo comes equipped with back-pack style beach chairs, boogie boards, snorkel gear, beach towels and more for your convenience.

You will also enjoy the convenience of:
o FREE password-protected, high speed WIFI signal
o Digital Cable TV package
o In-unit front-loading washer and dryer
o Elevator access from parking garage to the patio level. (You have to walk several paces from the elevator, then up 8 stairs to the condo level. If you require "no stairs", unfortunately, my condo is not a good choice for you).

But as much as you will enjoy the amenities of the condo, (... did I mention the super-comfy, firm memory-foam, gel-top king-size mattress?...) you didn't come all the way to Kona to stay indoors! There is so much to do and see. You'll want to spend some of your time chillin' at the oceanfront swimming pool. We have one of the nicest pool/recreation areas in town--with plenty of lounge chairs, whirlpool spa, barbecues and shady pavilion.

Kona Reef has one of the most convenient locations on the Kona Coast, and is just a short walk to shopping, restaurants, bars and entertainment.

It is a 5 to 10 minute walk to:
o Honl’s Beach (right next door!)
o Luau at the Royal Kona Resort
o Bars and restaurants
o Shopping
o Bicycles for rent
o Coffee Shops
And just a few more minutes to:
o Farmer’s Market
o Art Galleries
o Library
o More shops and restaurants
o Churches
o Hulihee Palace

If you are the adventurous type, you will want to do some sight-seeing and exploring. There is so much to choose from:
o Snorkeling
o SCUBA
o Golf
o Zip Line
o Hiking
o Deep Sea Fishing
o Helicopter Tours
o Sailing
o Stand Up Paddle (SUP)
o Surfing
o Parasailing
o Pu'u Honua (City of Refuge) National Park
o Waterfalls
o Botanical Gardens
o Luau
o Coffee Tasting
o Farm Tours (Coffee, Chocolate, Vanilla...YUM!)
o and more!

Whatever your preference, the Big Island offers plenty of fun in the sun, and you couldn't pick a better home base than this lovely top floor condo at Kona Reef.

This is more than a hotel room… it's my downtown oceanfront getaway, and I like nothing better than staying at the unit when it is not booked. My home is your home, and I love it when guests tell me a little about themselves when making a booking request.

The calendar allows reservation requests up to 9 months in advance. If your travel plans are further in the future, I can open up some dates for you... Just click on the "Ask Owner a Question" link!

Thanks for looking and thanks for booking!

About the Air Conditioning:
2-unit split system installed December 2020 for your creature comfort! There is a wall unit in the living room and another one in the bedroom. Super quiet! There are also ceiling fans and standing fans if you prefer to experience the ambient temperatures. It's all about what you're used to. ALSO: Due to the high cost of electricity in Hawaii, when you leave the apartment for extended periods of time, turning off the AC is greatly appreciated.

Super easy booking & check-in process. Marni reached out ti see if we needed anything and provided some great tips on where to get some fresh poke! The condo was very clean and fully stocked. Furniture was comfortable and so was the bed! Nice location with a sandy beach right beside the condo and a great pool/ BBQ area that we enjoyed almost every day. There was a bit of road noise from Alii Drive from time to time but it wasn’t a major issue and was only noticed when sitting out on the lanai. Would highly recommend this condo and we look forward to our next visit.

We spent a wonderful two weeks. The owner has not missed any details in her guidebook. The location is within walking distance to shopping and restaurants so you don't worry about finding a parking place. The condo is well stocked with anything you would need for a day at the beach. Morning coffee on the lanai watching the surf roll in is a great way to start your day. The two air'-conditioning units worked very well. You can not go wrong staying here.

Comfortable space, easy location
The condo was decorated as casual coastal which was perfect for us. There were many thoughtful items included such as boogie boards and a folding drying rack we could hang our swimsuits on, sunscreen, and sunburn gel. The washer and dryer were invaluable as we packed light and used the beach towels often! The community pool area was family friendly and the ocean front lawn was nice to watch the sunset from.

Great location, cold AC, well stocked condo
We really enjoyed our stay in this unit. The location is great with just a short walk to downtown Kona, and an easy drive to beaches and snorkeling sites south of Kona. The kitchen is well stocked with spices and oils and things like plastic wrap, utensils, pots/pans, etc which made it easy to cook on a few of the evenings during our stay. Also, the unit had beach chairs, beach towels, a cooler, beach umbrella, snorkel gear, etc which was great to have when going to hang out at the beach. The lanai overlooks the small beach and ocean just to the south. Also nice that they bedroom had a separate AC unit rather than just a single unit in the main living area. It feels like the unit was recently renovated as the counters, bathroom, and plumbing fixtures seemed updated. Overall a great unit and we would definitely stay here again.

Best Kona Reef Stay
Marni's unit doesn't miss a beat. Beautiful unit true to photos. All guest needs covered including all the beach gear, multi USB ports on both nightstands, fully stocked kitchen including Tupperware, paper products. A full Brita pitcher waiting in fridge! Some appliances and all switches labeled too. We've stayed at Kona Reef a few times. We were excited to see air conditioning was added to both the living room and bedroom. But you know what? We didn't need it! Ceiling fans, lanai screen and fan worked perfectly! Most comfortable stay. Informative guest book, too, about unit and area restaurant updates. Thank you for a lovely stay. It was great to return! Favorited ❤️for our next Kona stay.

Marni’s place is wonderful. She was easy to communicate with. The condo is in a great location right on the beach and at the south end of the historic village. The lodging was clean, comfortable and attractive. Everything there you need: dishes, cups and glasses, kitchen ware, large coffee pot, large fridge, towels, comfortable bed, nice furniture, nice TV. Wifi was excellent. Comfortable lanai perfect for morning coffee or winding down at night. Fins, snorkels, ice chest, beach towels. She has thought of everything. Perfect headquarters to explore and enjoy the Big Island. Next time we come, we will stay here.
