Stayed the end of February into early March. Condo was perfect for a walks to the shops, whale watching, pool and hot tub on site were very nice. Would definitely recommend and stay again !
Wonderful, clean, and convenient property. The view was outstanding and everything you could need is there. Pool and hot tub facilities were awesome as well!Communications were great. Great choice if you're staying in Kona!
Kona Reef D17 is a fabulous location, super clean, beautiful decor and well maintained and thought out rental. The sound of the waves and the unobstructed view is magnificent. The bed was glorious after our long days in the sun. I would definitely stay here again. This is a great find.
We had an excellent stay at this place during our week in Kona. Centrally located within walking distance to restaurants and shops was great.
The place was clean and well stocked and the views to watch the amazing sunsets and the comet were unbelievable.

Reviewer Comments:
Our stay was wonderful. We have stayed at these condos before, but not in this one. We loved it! It was beautiful, very clean and had everything we could have asked for. Would recommend it to anyone.
We had an amazing relaxing vacation. The location of this condo is ideal. Walking distance to lots of restaurants, shops and bars. The condo has everything you need and the view of the ocean is breathtaking. Would definitely stay here again.
If I could give this condo more stars I would! This is probably the most well equipped VRBO that we have ever stayed in. The kitchen is well appointed with cookware, utensils, and dinnerware. The bathroom has nice thick bath towels, and washcloths with extra located in the closet. They also provide very nice beach/pool towels for your use. The condo is beautifully decorated with convenient cable and Wi-Fi available. The views from the balcony are spectacular and we spent many a morning and evening enjoying watching the surfers, whales and dolphins, paddlers, and the occasional cruise ship not to mention the absolutely spectacular sunsets. The heated pool was a rare treat and we always had the pool to ourselves at 8 AM. The walk into town for dinner, drinks and shopping was just a quick jaunt. It is easy to get in and out of two tour the rest of the island and we always had a covered parking space when we returned in the evening. Management was very communicative and quick to respond to any questions we had. We will definitely be coming back to this gem of a condo!
D17 was exactly as advertised. It was comfortable with amazing views from the lanai. There is no substitute for being right on the water. Aloha and Mahalo.

After spending the day exploring or at a beach it was nice to come back and relax. We spent alot of time on the balcony enjoying the view of the ocean and sunsets.

We loved sitting on the lanai each morning and watching the surfers! The location is fantastic — walking distance to a small sandy beach park (where the boogie board was invented) and walking distance to many great restaurants (favorites: Lava Java, Quinn’s, Huggo’s). The communication about payment was good and the coded key-pad access made checkin contactless and simple.

We had a wonderful stay at Kona Reef D17 in August 2023! The highlight of this well-accommodated, clean condo is the lanai at the ocean's edge. We changed our busy itinerary to just sit and enjoy. We had questions during our stay and Knutson was very responsive. The condo is just a block's walk from restaurants and shopping of Kona. We didn't use the pool, but it looked lovely and had the ocean view as well. We will rebook this condo when we return to the Big Island!

The property managers are wonderful... very responsive to our every need. I would highly recommend this place. Also, we could see a catamaran from the lanai each day and found out it was the Kona Style snorkel cruise heading for Captain Cook. We booked it! What a great experience...small boat, really fun, knowledgeable crew. Highly recommend them also!

The view from this condo's lanai is spectacular, assuming you like palm trees and the Pacific Ocean. The kitchen is quite functional and well stocked. The bed is very comfortable. We ran the bedroom AC at night, which worked well; we didn't try to cool the entire unit - much nicer to listen to the waves. The only downside is that all of the pictures were removed by the former owner (except one, and I understand why they left that one behind.) There are nails and screws sticking out of the walls where the pictures used to be. It gave the impression of walking into a dorm room, though one with a great view!
