About this property

Sunset in Paradise Oceanfront 1BR/1BA Condo at Kona Reef Fast WiFi & Central AC

Enjoy breathtaking sunset views every night from this beautifully updated condo steps from Downtown Kailua-Kona village with AC in both the living room and bedroom.

Sunset in Paradise is your private paradise with gorgeous ocean views straight from a postcard. Relax on the lanai listening to the crashing waves with a cocktail while you enjoy another sunset, or sip your morning coffee while you watch the cruise ship come in. Inside you can enjoy the updated kitchen to prepare your own gourmet meals, relax on the comfortable sofa in front of the large 4K TV.

In the evening you can enjoy the nightly conch ceremony at sunset from your lanai with the best seat in the house, or head down and grill up some fresh catch at the poolside BBQ.

At the end of the day drift off to sleep on the California King memory foam mattress in the air conditioned bedroom dreaming of what you will do tomorrow in paradise.

High speed WiFi (500 Mbps), 50 inch 4K TV with 100s of channels and access to all major streaming services (bring your own subscription), Blu-ray player, and Air Conditioning throughout. California King bed to fall asleep on after another day exploring paradise in air conditioned bedroom. Pull out queen bed in living room sofa.

We try to include everything you will need to enjoy your vacation. Beach towels, umbrella and beach mat, cooler, snorkel gear, even boogie boards. The only thing you need to bring is your swimsuit and sunscreen.

Right outside the condo is the oceanfront pool and spa, as well as the BBQ area (so close the WiFi works great from there!). If you venture out, you are just steps away from everything. Enjoy the sandy beach right next door to the condo and watch turtles relax when it's calm, or locals surf when the waves are up. Take a short walk (less than 5 minutes) to enjoy pupus at Don the Beachcomber or delicious meals at Huggos. A few minutes further walk and you can visit the many shops of Kailua, grab a local coffee or acai bowl, or shop at the local market for fresh fruits, flowers, crafts, or just about anything else you can imagine!

Common grounds are tropical and well maintained with cameras and nightly security patrols for your safety and wellbeing (no cameras are inside the unit for your privacy).

Condo is well equipped with everything you need, from cooking to playing at the beach (see amenities for details). The only hard part of your vacation will be leaving.

Wonderful place

The location was perfect, and we watched the sunset over the ocean each night from our lanai. Parking was easy and it was just a few minutes from shopping and restaurants. Fully stocked kitchen and lovely gift bag of local treats. We would definitely stay again.

Its the little things

Its the little things that matter! This rental was PERFECT for our stay. This owner cares about their property, the quality and the subtle small things to make our 12 night stay worth every penny is evident in their property. This owner understands service, and care, from the moment we walked into to our cute welcome basket to the quality of the towels, linens and utensils which all served our needs exactly as needed. The upgrades to the refrigerator, washer/dryer and electronics gave us the desired comfort to make the stay so enjoyable we didn't want to leave on day 13. The condo is perfectly positioned to enjoy a coffee overlooking the whales in the morning and sunset in the evening on the very comfortable lanai. The organization of the outside "toys" afforded us to be able to use them with ease. There wasn't a si gle thing we didn't know its exact intention on how to use. We have stayed on a lot of VRBOs, including on this complex and this one by far exceeded expectations!

Fabulous Kona Reef

Steve and Amber's condo is just absolutely fabulous. It was a home away from home for us. The welcome gifts of chocolates and coffee were a fantastic touch. The condo is perfect, has a perfect view and is in a perfect location. Hopefully we will be able to come back one day. Thank you Steve and Amber.

We stayed for 6 nights at this condo before moving locations within the island. This was our second time staying at Kona Reef, third time on the island and this was by far the best one. The location, view, condo amenities were outstanding. There was a slight issue with the air conditioning and we had immediate response from the owner to rectify the issue. Highly recommend and will be booking this unit for our next trip

Can't Beat the Ambience

This is my third time staying at Kona Reef, first time in this unit. The condo is well-appointed, organized and has the most amazing view of the pool and ocean. I'd be putting groceries away and have to marvel at the sight of rolling waves. The village-like Kona Town is close by with lots of shopping and restaurants. Beaches and activities are within close proximity. The vibe is always a good one with people easy to talk to around the pool/Jacuzzi.

Top rate all the way

Everything about this unit was 5 star. From the welcome basket, robes, high quality furnishings and appliances, tasteful decor, location to pool, ocean parking garage and garbage, air conditioning in living AND bedroom. The hide a bed was very comfortable. All bath products provided plus blow dryer and straightener. There was an iron and a steamer which came in clutch got bridesmaids and wedding dress. The property maintenance is also 5 star. Just like a high end resort, the lawn chairs are put back into their places, the entire pool area is hosed down each morning, the bbq area including the grills are cleaned, the pool bath room is cleaned throughout the day, the landscaping around the pool is meticulously manicured. The owner, Steve is nice and so responsive. (Of course he’s an Oregonian) I come to Kona annually and this is by far the nicest stay (since 2010). I will definitely return!!

Wonderful Spot

Our family couldn’t have had a better experience at this condo in Kona Reef. The view from the lanai is incredible for watching waves or looking over the pool. The staff on site were very friendly and hardworking in keeping the property in beautiful shape. There are shared BBQ grills that work very well and made for some wonderful at home meals. The condo had wonderful AC that allowed us to escape the humidity when we needed a break. The appliances were wonderful and the space felt well kept. We will be looking at rebooking in the future if it’s still available.

Wonderful Getaway

This property delivered as expected. Beautiful location, excellent amenities, everything we needed to enjoy a relaxing getaway. All utensils for a well stocked kitchen were there. We grilled steaks one night and found that Steve and Amber had a thermometer for checking temps, which I found very surprising. We only had to purchase groceries. The location is perfect to wake up to each day. The pool is always clean and waiting for travelers to enjoy. Kailua-Kona is easy and safe walking distance to shops and restaurants, even at night. Several days we had cruise ships docked off the coast when we woke up, which was a nice touch. One downside (not the property owners fault of course) is that there is no swimmable beach within walking distance. The beaches around the property and the general vicinity, are covered in lava rock, so you need water shoes to access the water. Overall, this was the nicest VRBO property we’ve stayed in, and would not hesitate to rebook if we travel to again to Kona.

A Renter’s Dream

We thoroughly enjoyed our 9-day stay at this condominium couldn’t have asked for more from the experience! The owners have tastefully and thoughtfully furnished the unit, making it the best of the many VRBO rentals we’ve had! It was immaculately clean and had everything we needed (generous supply of paper products, coffee for a couple mornings, shampoo/conditioner, beach towels, etc.) — and more (beautiful robes, a welcome basket of goodies…). They have thought of and supplied everything one might need during a stay (batteries, cleaning supplies, flashlights, extra lightbulbs…) and have them stored neatly so that they are readily available, without the unit feeling cluttered. Kitchen appliances were aplenty and of excellent quality, as were all the furnishings. The view from the condo is beautiful, looking directly across the pool area to the ocean. Although not quite as private as the oceanfront unit we rented on a previous stay at this complex, we actually enjoyed this view more. It was more interesting/fun and sunset viewings were perfect! Access to the lovely pool area was also quick and easy. The property location (among other things!) is what brings us back to the complex. We love being able to leave the car in the handy covered garage and walk into town for meals/activities; it is also easy to get to other areas of the island from there. We would highly recommend Steve and Amber’s condo and thank them for making it such a welcoming, wonderful vacation get-away spot!

About the host

Hosted by Steve & Amber Mann

Host profile image
We were married in Hawaii in 2005 and fell in love with the islands. There's something special about Hawaii that you feel the moment you step off the plane. We want to share our love of the islands with others and want every guest to have the perfect vacation experience.

Why they chose this property

We love Kona Reef because of the proximity to town. Not having to drive when you want to get a coffee, do some shopping, or go out to eat was a big selling point for us. Having a beach right next door was huge as well. And when we do want to go somewhere, the whole island is easy to explore from Kona!

What makes this property unique

We choose C13 first because of the location. Watching sunset from your lanai every night is a dream come true. We also love that's it's close to the pool and BBQ area which are great places to gather with friends, or make new ones. C13 is away from the busy road, so it's nice and quiet while still being so close to town. We have continued to improve and update the unit to make it a home away from home we can share with our guests. We want people to have all the conveniences of home while on vacation.
