Mahalo for the wonderful review! So glad the location, view, parking, and easy walkability around Kona hit the mark. We look forward to welcoming you back to Grand Welcome Hawaii.
It was an amazing place—the views were beautiful, everything was very clean, and it felt incredibly spacious. We will definitely be coming back for a longer stay.

This was a great place to stay in Kona. Highly recommended. The check-in and checkout process was super convenient. The condo has an amazing view from the lanai. It was also very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Would definitely stay here again the next time we are in Kona.

Mahalo! Glad you enjoyed your stay and the amazing view, and that the location was convenient for restaurants and shopping. Great to hear Kona Heaven coffee hit the spot — glad the unit felt comfortable and inviting. We hope to welcome you back soon!
We will continue to rent from Kona Reef again and again. We visited Big Island 10 years ago and stayed @ Kona Reef, different unit. Was great then and great again this trip. This particular unit had so many beach extras that came in handy for our trip. Plenty of beach towels, bamboo beach mat, 2 coolers, 3 beach chairs, 2 umbrellas. The pool and hot tub was very clean. The beach area next to the property makes it a great location if beach & sand is important to you. The property is central to shopping and local beach attractions. This unit was very clean and provided ample extras that made our stay comfortable. Thank you for sharing your property with us!

Mahalo for returning to Kona Reef and for the lovely review. Glad the beach extras, clean pool and hot tub, and beachfront location made your stay comfortable and convenient. We’d be happy to welcome you back on your next trip to the Big Island.
I've stayed at Kona Reef many times over the years and #D31 is amazing (top floor corner). Great views and accommodations within a short walking distance to town. We live on Maui and will definitely stay there again.

Disliked: Check-in, communication
This unit was as described and more! We loved the location and closeness to the ocean, can’t be beat! We used the beach chairs(3) and umbrella as well as the cooler for our day trips. Many restaurants are within walking distance and an abc store is close by. Parking was never an issue to find, we used above ground parking and it felt secure. Supplies were enough for our family of 3 that went adventuring everyday so not as much time spent in the condo but definitely enough. Ice was even made upon arrival and they had beach towels which we didn’t expect! I would have rated this 5 stars on everything but we did have an issue with the keyless entry and it took an hour to resolve late at night when we were exhausted from travelling. After getting a code for the back up key we were inside and they changed the batteries to the keyless the next day. If you are looking for morning coffee watching the waves, taking in the sunsets on your own lanai, this is for you :)

Ashley, thank you for the thoughtful review. I’m glad the location, beach gear, cooler, towels, ice, and secure parking helped your family enjoy the trip — and that you loved the lanai views. Sorry for the late-night keyless entry issue; we appreciate your patience and replaced the batteries the next day to prevent a repeat. We’d love to host you again for more ocean mornings and sunsets.
Thank you for your review! We are so happy to hear your Grand Welcome Vacation experience and hope to host you again soon, either here or at one of our many locations across the country.
View is absolutely spectacular, nice private balcony just feet from the ocean! Central AC was wonderful. Well stocked kitchen, linens, beach chairs/towels/umbrella. Managing company very responsive and proactive. Very clean. Convenient location, 2 block walk into village. Complimentary garage parking. Only down side is that the one side of this corner unit faces the pool area. When inside with the windows closed you can clearly hear the conversations in the hot tub and people in the pool area. When sitting outside on the balcony you can't hear any of this because of the beautiful crashing waves! Overall, the awesome view, location, and condo itself far out weigh this minor annoyance. Highly recommend staying in this unit. If ever back in this area, we would definetely stay here again!!

Mahalo! Glad the spectacular ocean view, private balcony/lanai, central AC, well-stocked kitchen, linens, and beach gear made your stay comfortable. Thank you for noting the pool/hot tub noise indoors — glad the crashing waves kept the balcony peaceful. Happy our team was responsive and that the location and garage parking worked well for you. We hope to welcome you back soon!
My review has more to do with the TV and Placement of the TV.I wanted to watch some of the NFL playoff games. I recommend you get rid of the cheap 32" TV and in place of the mirrors that are separated install a 65 to 75" TV from Costco. Then rearrange the furniture for better comfort and viewing. The closet you now have the TV in could be a pantry for the kitchen as there is no storage for groceries. We had to leave everything out on the counters. Other than that the place is in a great location and the beds are comfortable. The views are also great.

We have stayed here before and it was still wonderful. Best views in the entire complex. Wonderful location, as can easily walk to all the restaurants and shops in Kona. Clean, comfortable condo.
We enjoyed being within walking distance of many restaurants and shops in downtown Kailua-Kona. And the view from our balcony was a perfect way to start the day with coffee and enjoy the sunset in the evenings.
We really loved everything about this condo; the location - both next to the ocean and close to town, parking, cleanliness, noise level, and comfortable inside furnishings and on the balcony.
We enjoyed our stay. Beautiful view. Perfect size condo.

We loved our time at Kona Reef, the view was amazing and we enjoyed watching whales, dolphins and turtles from the lanai! The unit was stocked with everything we needed. It was a perfect unit for 2 couples traveling together. Can’t wait to come again!
We enjoyed our stay here so much that we plan on booking it again in the future. Everything went very smoothly from the booking to the check in. Highly recommended.
