We want you to have a wonderful stay at our condo; therefore, we’d like to let you know about some ongoing construction/maintenance work at the Kona Reef complex.
Kona Reef complex will undergo concrete structure and resurfacing repair from January 2026 through June 2027. These dates are subject to change due to unforeseen circumstances (weather or other).
We expect the majority of work to occur during normal daytime hours (8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.) Monday through Friday, with most public areas remaining accessible. While this construction is ongoing, you may hear construction noise from and/or see maintenance equipment (scaffolding, jack-hammers, saws, compressors, dumpsters, trucks), and workers on-site.
Our Building (Building F): Concrete structure and resurfacing repairs are currently estimated for July 2026 through September2026. Construction on the building requires the closure of the lanais. Therefore, we will not be renting during this time. These dates are subject to change due to unforeseen circumstances (weather or other); likely shifting to later month in the year or following year.
Garage & Plaza Levels Under/Around Building F: Concrete structure and resurfacing repairs are scheduled for September 2026 through June 2027. These dates are subject to change due to unforeseen circumstances (weather or other).
Therefore, we have reduced the nightly rate during this construction time to reflect the possibility of disruption from nearby buildings having work done. Thank you for your understanding as our community makes these necessary improvements! Please reach out if you have any questions before booking.
Enjoy every moment of your get away to paradise in this beautiful direct ocean view condo. F14 is a 650sq ft 1 BR / 1 BA condo located at the desirable Kona Reef complex; a very short walk just south of Kailua Kona. This condo has full AC! That means you have super quiet split AC handlers, one in the living room and another in the bedroom, keeping you cool and comfortable at all times. The majority of Kona Reef condos only have a wall unit in the living room, where the AC never gets back to the hot bedroom, or have no AC at all.
This condo is located on the ocean side of Alii Dr. and has a direct unobscured ocean view from within the kitchen/living room and lanai, along with so many wonderful amenities to help you enjoy your vacation! The King size bed is a Sleep Number, so you can set your own comfort level for bed firmness, the Queen Sleeper sofa is outfitted with a memory foam mattress. Some extras include snorkel equipment, boogie boards, beach chairs and coolers for you to use during your stay!
For your safety and the protection of our property, a security camera is installed at the front door entry/exit of the condo. The camera monitors only the entrance area and does not record private spaces. Recordings are not kept more than 10 days. If you have any questions, please let us know.

Well appointed condo with a significant amount of extras that were appreciated (i.e. cooler, beach chairs, umbrella, yoga mats, etc.). Kitchen is well equipped from storage containers to appropriate pool vs. indoor dishware.

We loved staying at Jay and Lori's place. Everything was as described, and more. You can't lose on staying here! Lori was easy to communicate with, and we will definitely be back!
The unit was everything we needed and the location was perfect! The ocean view was amazing and the short walk to restaurants was just what we wanted. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect spot!
Best time ever staying at the Kona Reef ( Lori the host was the best ) Ocean View ( Condo was all set up for us ) quite , clean , would definitely stay at Lori’s condo again ( Rate 5 stars and much more like 10 stars )
Lovely condo well equipped with everything we could possibly need. Location is great, view is amazing, and everything was easy. Would definitely stay here again.
The property was easy to find, clean, well stocked and communication was awesome. Location made it easy to walk to dining, shopping and ocean. Staying here made all the difference!
Great location. Comfortably furnished property. All the amenities one could imagine or hope for - snorkeling gear, picnic equipment, books about the area even games for quiet time. We would love to return.
This is my second time here and now a permanent place to stay when I come to the big island. Gracious hosts and they place is absolutely perfect. The owners care about their place and keep it well maintained. The location and view are exceptional. You will be very happy here.
Lori and Jay’s lovely unit is one of the best short term rentals we have ever stayed in! Spotlessly clean and equipped with absolutely anything you could need or want! Large spacious lanai with a gorgeous view. Split AC keeps both the bedroom and living room cool. Close walk to multiple restaurants and shops. Very responsive hosts. We loved the Big Island and would stay here again in a heartbeat!
This was a lovely property beautifully located and well maintained. We especially loved our view of the pool and ocean beyond. The owners anticipated every need that renters may require and they also communicated well in order to minimize inconvenience. Thank you for a lovely stay.
The location was perfect. It’s a short walk into town with plenty of restaurants and shops. Loved the view from the lanai and the sunsets. The condo felt just like home. The host provides everything you could possibly need and more! It was the perfect place for us to relax after all of our daily activities! Thank you for opening up your beautiful place for others to enjoy! Mahalo!
Beautiful location on the water . Watch sunset every night. Pleasant walk to town. Stocked with everything you would need for an amazing stay. Responsive owners. Overall great experience.
Everything we needed, except a kettle, and spatter screen! Loved watching the surf from the lanai! Great bed and pillows! Missing paradise already!

Helen, we are so glad that you both had a wonderful stay. Thanks for the mention of a splatter screen, I assume this is a frying splatter screen? Anyway, I will add one :). So sorry you may have missed that there is an electric kettle in the kitchen pantry, so you can always have hot water on the ready. We hope to have you stay with us again on your next trip through Kona!
The property was just as listed. It had everything you could possibly need! We loved seeing and listening to the ocean from our balcony. The bed was the most comfortable we had ever slept on!
