Perfect location

We have stayed at Kona Reef a few times. Love the location and close proximity to restaurants and shopping. Love the lanai. Unit itself needs updating. Air conditioner is old and very loud. It was not as clean as other units we have stayed in.

Great location and property

We are just getting ready to checkout and sad to leave. We enjoyed the property very much. Comfy bed, nice furnishings inside and out and all the kitchen amenities you need. Also, a very short walk from all kinds of restaurants. We intend to return here in the future.

Lovely ocean front condo

This condo was clean and comfortable and the view was great. My only suggestions would be to add a shelf for a toiletries bag in the bathroom as well as a hand towel bar as the sink/countertop is small. Also, a small dining table inside would be nice.

Great location and even better view! The only complaint is that there is an atrium right outside the window at about 4-430 every morning the birds are chirping for about an hour and sounded like they were in my room! Other than that it was perfect!

Sunsets are spectacular from the comfort of the lanai

We've stayed at the Kona Reef several times. The property is perfect for a quick swim and lounge by the pool. The BBQ area is comfortable and inviting. The evening sunset vigil by the residents is a lovely experience. The one bedroom units are cozy for two. We appreciated having some spices, oils and coffee filters from other visitors stays. In January humpbacks cruised on by. The dolphins were a little more shy and or the high surf hid their daily swim by the complex.

Amazing

The condo is amazing! The location is perfect… Just a few minutes walk from town. The view from the balcony is absolutely beautiful! The only negative I saw, the place could use a new air conditioning unit. The radiator on the current unit is rusting onto the balcony and leaves quite a mess.

We loved this condo, the view from the lanai ...

Rating Details: I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. I was very happy with the location. The vacation rental was spotless. The property manager was very helpful. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved this condo, the view from the lanai was fantastic. We saw cruise ship, submarine and lot of surfers. Also liked the sandy beach right next door to the property. The cost of the condo wasn't over the top good value.

Great view and location!

We really enjoyed our stay. Great oceanfront view. Condo is sufficiently stocked for our needs. Sofa bed is comfortable. King bed is awesome! Main complaint is cleanliness. The floors were filthy. It needed to be mopped. We ended up doing the cleaning ourselves. Overall, good stay. Will come back.

Fully Stocked & Incredible Location

We were thoroughly impressed by how well stocked the condo was in the kitchen, bathroom, and beach supplies like boogie boards folding chairs, and a cooler. The view was absolutely gorgeous, peaceful, and quiet. The pool area had lounge chairs on the grass facing the ocean which made a perfect spot to watch the sunset. The A/C cooled down the entire condo even though it was located in the living room only. The wifi was a little slow and I didn't have great cell connection, but overall that didn't disrupt our stay at all. We would absolutely stay here again and plan to in the future!
