About this property

Kona Reef Resort - Absolute Oceanfront Condominium

This fully-furnished oceanfront condominium, is located 23 feet from the water on Alii Drive in Kailua-Kona. We are on the third level of a four level complex, A23. Listen to the ocean waves or catch a beautiful sunset while dining on your private lanai.

Enjoy a great vacation with your own special place on the Kona coast. There is only a coconut palm between you and the ocean front, you get the air and the sound from the ocean 24/7. If you like to watch the surf and hear it at it's best, this is the place. Just about everything that happens at the Kona waterfront can be seen from the lanai. There is whale and dolphin watching, para sailing, submarine touring, kayaking, and surfing all going on at one time or another. In addition many of the cruise ships can be seen at anchor. An active seascape.

The Kona Reef Condominiums are among the most desirable places to stay in Kailua-Kona. It is an easy walk to town for shopping and popular restaurants. Ocean access is steps away at Kona's newest beach. Staying here will make your visit to Hawaii a memorable one. This condominium is a non-smoking unit.

A23 wraps you in comfort..

The fantastic view is only enhanced by the warmth and thoughtfulness of the unit. Most everything you cud think to need is here. Good property perks,views and Hon’ls beach next door. So hard to choose sight seeing the island or just relaxing on your private oceanfront lanai. Lots of both! Communication w owners clear. When can I come back?

Perfect getaway

We loved our stay here - when you travel halfway across the world, it has to be worthwhile and this did not disappoint! The location is perfect, walkable to so many places to eat, drjnk, shop with the beach right on the doorstep, while still being super peaceful. We loved watching surfers in the mornings and sunsets in the evenings. The apartment was equipped with everything we could possibly need, and wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again if we venture to the Big Island again in future.

We loved our stay at Kona Reef. The condo had everything we needed, location was great, and oceanfront view could not have been better. The nightly sunset ritual, complete with the blowing of the conch shells, was magical. Thanks to Cindy and Bart for the hospitality!
