We spent a week in a condo at the Kona Reef. We rented from a private owner through VRBO. We had a second story, one bedroom condo with a beautiful view of the ocean over the swimming pool. Had coffee (100% Kona) and breakfast on the lanai every morning, and frozen drinks (they had a blender!) or beers on the... More

This is a nice place right on the strip. Pool area is amazing and rooms are fairly furnished and nice. One problem is quiet time starts at 9pm and if you make a peep, security stalks and harasses you. Besides that everything else is pretty good. More

The condo was the perfect fit for our holiday vacation in Kona. Easy 5 minute walking distance from downtown Kailua-Kona and great view of the ocean and sunset. If you want to party all night, look fabulous with a constant martini in your hand or ogle at bikini clad or muscle bound bodies don't go here but if you want... More

We booked this not knowing anything about it other than reading from various websites. We were VERY lucky. Great place to stay, lovely apartment, top floor, great views, clean, well equipped, and met some really great people. Super pool, on the beach, walking distance to restaurants, yet in a nice quiet spot. There are notices everywhere around the condo asking... More

We stayed here for 9 days in December, 2011 and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. The property is well kept, clean, convenient to town, quiet, and has beach and surfing access as well as a lovely pool, cabana area and hot tub. The sunsets were incredible as was the staff and the amenities. Condos are fully furnished (ours had... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our week in this condo. I did a lot of my own cooking and every time I thought of a took or utensil I would need, it was there! The beach supplies were plentiful too. The condo has windows/doors perfectly situated for crosswinds. We enjoyed the perfect ocean/sunset views every night and hearing the waves while we... More

What's not to like? A condo with all the amenities that allows you to vacation with all the comforts of home. A fully stocked kitchen, comfortable living room, a lanai with a beach view and free wi-fi made us want to stay forever. (Although our unit was designated "garden view" we had a fantastic view of the beach.) The only... More

Our five night stay was relatively smooth. We arrived early for check-in and when the room was not ready, they happily took our bags into the back of the small office and ditto for late check-out. Everything we needed was a short walk from the hotel. Although there is no restaurant at the resort, there are many local places within... More

We booked a condo here for our 8 days in Kona for our honeymoon (we left right Kona right before Thanksgiving). We liked the full kitchen feature so we could save money by making some meals instead of eating out for EVERY meal. We booked through Orbitz and got a great deal. There was a nice patio with a little... More

We stayed in an ocean view room and it was wonderful! It's great to be able to hear the ocean when you wake up. The grounds are very well maintained and the pool area is very nice. We enjoyed the grassy area right next to the ocean, lots of time spent laying out and watching the surfers. Very easy walk... More
