Oceanfront condo

The condo is great, amazing views and could not be closer to the ocean, approximately 30 feet! The unit is well equipped and whilst we didn't cook much it is a fully equipped kitchen capable of cooking dinner. The bed is comfortable and everything was clean on arrival.

Perfect Anniversary Getaway

My husband and I had the pleasure of staying at Kona Reef during our anniversary trip and we LOVED it! The unit was so clean, and stocked with everything we needed for our 2 week stay. The concierge service (David) was awesome! It allowed us to book some great tours with so much ease during our time on the island. And the staff at Kona Coast Vacations were so welcoming. They were very responsive and made sure our stay was perfect! Thank you Kona Coast Vacations, we'll be seeing you guys next year for sure!

Most beautiful view ever!

We had the most fantastic 9 nights in Kona. The apartment was exactly as written and photographed. The view (which was important to us) was perfect. The sound of the ocean each day was incredible. We watched the surfers, crew boaters, swimmers, fishermen, and shell hunters. We even had three beautiful cruise ships come in which was absolutely lovely. Fantastic location - you can't beat it for two people. Perfect.

Lovely view

Great waterfront condo with a beautiful view! Next to a small local beach good for surfing and boogie boarding. A quick walk to restaurants and a quick drive to Safeway for groceries. Well-outfitted kitchen, though other than salt and pepper there were no other spices, condiments, cooking oil, etc. so if you plan to cook you’ll need to pick things up.

Overall the condo is in a fantastic location. It is within walking distance to restaurants and shopping. The host is very much in communication with you throughout your stay offering suggestions of things to do as well as answering any questions you might have. The condo has everything you need for your stay. The best part is the view. You are directly in front of the ocean with nothing but great views. As for the things that could be better.... the walls to the outside common area are very thin and you hear everyone walking by when in bed. The bed was not comfortable at all. There is no ventilation in the bathroom and there should be a fan on the back deck to help keep the air circulating due to the afternoon sun. It really is a nice condo and we did enjoy ourselves.

Great location, aging property, priced well

If you are expecting a pristine, modern condo, you should quadruple your budget and look elsewhere but if you are looking for a comfortable, reasonably priced place on the water, within walking distance of great restaurants and shopping, this is a top option. It is a few years past update time and I doubt there has ever been a deep cleaning, but again, in this price range, you probably won’t find a better condo. Only real negative is the unusable wifi, but when you’re in paradise, do you really need internet?
