Loved this place! had a nice view of the pool/ocean, communication was great, loved the location - we walked along Ali’i Drive nearly every day. It was perfect!
Great property and location. We would happily stay here again.The lanai was slightly larger than it appears in the photos . The nightly salute to the sunset by four residents blowing on conch shells in each of the compass points was charming. We took full advantage of the pool and hot tub. The property was quiet and mostly Boomers. My 13 year old grandson had hoped to connect with other teens - none were there our week. We loved walking into the Harbor area to dine or bring take out back to the unit.

Aloha Liz. Thank you for your kind words. I'm so sorry about your grandson not being able to connect with other teens -(
We hope to see you back in the near distant future.
Mahalo,

We had a wonderful three-week stay at this Kailua Kona condo and would happily return. The unit has been nicely renovated and the kitchen was easily the best equipped and most thoughtfully organized of any VRBO we’ve rented over the years. We also appreciated how well stocked the condo was with everyday essentials like laundry and dishwasher supplies.The balcony was our favorite spot to relax and we loved watching surfers and also watching local residents marking the end of each day by blowing conch shell. The location is ideal, just a short walk from historic Kailua Village, making it easy to enjoy shops, dining, and the waterfront.One small consideration: as with many properties along Ali’i Drive, there can be some traffic noise at night. That said, it didn’t detract from what was otherwise a lovely and very comfortable stay.

Aloha Donna. Thank you for your kind words. We strive to provide a more relaxing environment to our guest. We hope to see you back.
Besides excellent accommodations, beyond our expectations, surf was up so we had a great show of surfing from the lanai! Hoping for a replay next year :)

Mahalo Carolyn for your kind words. We're glad that you had a wonderful time in the big island and staying at our little Starfish home. Looking forward to having you back in the big island if not, in our "home away from home" in Maui.
Glad to hear you have a wonderful time staying at our little Starfish Home and thank you for choosing us for your Hawaii holiday!
We look forward to having you back again soon. Safe travels back home, until the next time.
We had a nice time with friends at Kona Reef. The condo was fully stocked & had everything we needed. We enjoyed the pool & nearby shopping.

Aloha Stacy. Thank you for your feedback. We look forward to having you back in the near distant future if not in Kona, in our little "home away from home" in Maui.
mahalo a hui hou kāua!
The condo was exactly as described and more. Communication was great, the amenities in the condo were great, and we loved exploring the island with this as a home base. If we visited again, we’d definitely look for this property!

Thank you, Dennis, for your kind words. We love to have you back in Kona, if not Kona, we love to have you in our little "home away from home" in Maui.
Have a nice and safe "fall season"
Mahalo Nui.
This VRBO was top notch! The owners have done an amazing job ensuring a well-appointed unit. We had everything we needed from a Ninja blender to beach chairs and beach toys! It was a great week!
We really enjoyed our stay at this conveniently located property in Kona. The unit itself was impeccably clean, provided everything we needed including beach, chairs, umbrella, and snorkel equipment. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need. Honestly, you can’t go wrong here.
We enjoyed our stay at the Kona Reef. The host was very responsive with any questions we had before and during our stay. The condo was clean and the location was perfect. Easy on site parking and close to all. Beautiful view on the patio. Would definitely stay here again.

About the host
Hosted by Sue
In 2022, we acquired Kona Reef F16. The big island is so different from the other island in Hawaii. It is unique in its own way and characteristics.
For years we've been going to Hawaii and we've had our home away from home in Maui, until 2022 when we visited the big island of Hawaii. We wanted to share with you the joys that we found when we first came to the big island and we hope that you will find the same magic that we discovered recently.
As we get closer to retirement, the plan is to live in Hawaii and continue to share with you our little cozy home at Kona Reef. Whatever happens in the future, our little Starfish home will be here for you. Welcome to Starfish Home and we hope that you will continue to come back if not in Kona, visit us too in our other home in Maui.
Why they chose this property
It's a walking distance to downtownHistoric Kailua Village that provides shopping, night life and plenty of restaurants for those who don't want to cook. Yet, it is a little far if you just want to lounge and view the sunset in front of the resort. Or, surf at Honl's beach.
What makes this property unique
It is a corner unit with plenty of sunshine and views.
