About this property

Kona Reef B34 / Beachfront / Walk to Town / Air Con / WiFi / Top Floor

Now offering big discounts for 2026.
10% for early bird bookings.
Additional 10% for one week or longer.

Unfortunately, there will be construction at Kona Reef throughout 2026,
The Good News: B-Bldg construction will be completed by early February. It's possible you won't even hear the construction from the lanai. B34 faces the beach and the sound of surf should be more apparent than noise from other parts of the property. Stay tuned for confirmation of that in Feb!

If you tend to be out and about – beach, sight-seeing, farm tours, golf, scuba – you you'll hardly notice the weekday construction. PLUS the property will be quiet and peaceful evenings after 5pm and weekends for you to enjoy the pool, hot tub, pavilion.

So if you're not discouraged, read on:

You're gonna love your Kona Reef Beachfront getaway. Imagine the big smile on your face when you walk through the door of this lovely renovated, top-floor, jewel of a condo... a place you get to call your Kailua-Kona "home" away from home.

What's not to love? You can enjoy the "local-style" ambience and convenience of the in-town walk-to-everything location, while being in an oceanfront complex with a great ocean view. The public beach right next door is super convenient for swimming, snorkeling and surfing. From sunbathers to yoga classes, to picnics and people-watching, the view from your top-floor lanai provides a different beach scene every day.

You'll be charmed by the beachy, eclectic, tropical decor -- a blend of retro "Hawaiiana" with a touch of understated whimsy. Enjoy the top-quality finishes, selected to convey a simple warmth as well as durability. Split-system Air Conditioning installed Dec. 2020 keeps both living room and bedroom cool. The expanded kitchen features bamboo cabinets, white "cloud-like" quartz countertop, art glass backsplash, and shell mosaic pendant lighting. The bathroom was inspired by the colors of sand and sea, and has a custom walk-in shower that features a rain head, bamboo glass panel and handy corner seat. Sturdy bamboo-pattern vinyl flooring ties everything together to complete the natural ambience. Your top-floor lanai is the perfect place to enjoy a relaxing breakfast, or watch the waves and beach activities. You might be inspired to head on down to the beach, where you can picnic, wade, swim, snorkel or maybe even join a yoga class. The condo comes equipped with back-pack style beach chairs, boogie boards, snorkel gear, beach towels and more for your convenience.

You will also enjoy the convenience of:
o FREE password-protected, high speed WIFI signal
o Digital Cable TV package
o In-unit front-loading washer and dryer
o Elevator access from parking garage to the patio level. (You have to walk several paces from the elevator, then up 8 stairs to the condo level. If you require "no stairs", unfortunately, my condo is not a good choice for you).

But as much as you will enjoy the amenities of the condo, (... did I mention the super-comfy, firm memory-foam, gel-top king-size mattress?...) you didn't come all the way to Kona to stay indoors! There is so much to do and see. You'll want to spend some of your time chillin' at the oceanfront swimming pool. We have one of the nicest pool/recreation areas in town--with plenty of lounge chairs, whirlpool spa, barbecues and shady pavilion.

Kona Reef has one of the most convenient locations on the Kona Coast, and is just a short walk to shopping, restaurants, bars and entertainment.

It is a 5 to 10 minute walk to:
o Honl’s Beach (right next door!)
o Luau at the Royal Kona Resort
o Bars and restaurants
o Shopping
o Bicycles for rent
o Coffee Shops
And just a few more minutes to:
o Farmer’s Market
o Art Galleries
o Library
o More shops and restaurants
o Churches
o Hulihee Palace

If you are the adventurous type, you will want to do some sight-seeing and exploring. There is so much to choose from:
o Snorkeling
o SCUBA
o Golf
o Zip Line
o Hiking
o Deep Sea Fishing
o Helicopter Tours
o Sailing
o Stand Up Paddle (SUP)
o Surfing
o Parasailing
o Pu'u Honua (City of Refuge) National Park
o Waterfalls
o Botanical Gardens
o Luau
o Coffee Tasting
o Farm Tours (Coffee, Chocolate, Vanilla...YUM!)
o and more!

Whatever your preference, the Big Island offers plenty of fun in the sun, and you couldn't pick a better home base than this lovely top floor condo at Kona Reef.

This is more than a hotel room… it's my downtown oceanfront getaway, and I like nothing better than staying at the unit when it is not booked. My home is your home, and I love it when guests tell me a little about themselves when making a booking request.

Thanks for looking and thanks for booking!

About the Air Conditioning:
2-unit split system for your creature comfort! The living room and the bedroom each have their own wall A/C unit. There are also ceiling fans and standing fans if you prefer to experience the ambient temperatures. It's all about what you're used to. ALSO: Due to the high cost of electricity in Hawaii, when you leave the apartment for extended periods of time, turning off the AC is greatly appreciated.

Kona Reef Beach Getaway

We spent a wonderful two weeks. The owner has not missed any details in her guidebook. The location is within walking distance to shopping and restaurants so you don't worry about finding a parking place. The condo is well stocked with anything you would need for a day at the beach. Morning coffee on the lanai watching the surf roll in is a great way to start your day. The two air'-conditioning units worked very well. You can not go wrong staying here.

This was a great place to stay, it had all the amenities you could ask for. I appreciated the beach umbrella!! Many of the beaches have no shade. The owner was available and quick to respond. Once we arrived, everything was so easy and straight forward we had no reason to contact her. The location is ideal. Downtown area and restaurants are walkable. Easy to get to the north beaches and the volcano national park.

There was shampoo/ conditioner/laundry soap/ beach towels, shoes, hat, beach chairs, along with a most homey, comfortable home to stay in. Loved the location; right on a beach (we saw turtles in the water), close enough to walk to town, yet quiet area. Great communication from Marni. I would come back!!

Remarkable space - Remarkable place

Two adults for 5 days in October at this lovely oceanside condo. Charming space with all the amenities needed to make meals, drink Kona coffee on the lanai in the morning sun or sip a cocktail in the evening breeze watching the waves rush along the coastline. The bedroom was very comfortable, with an AC, crisp sheets, and even a TV that we never turned on. We really enjoyed the beautiful tiled walk-in shower. Parking was great and convenient. The condo was equipped with snorkels and beach gear, which was fantastic since the beach was merely steps away. It is an easy walk to the village to catch happy hour, people-watch, or grab a fresh seafood meal at one of several restaurants along the way. Marni was fantastic, and the space is a haven. I would definitely come back here—I highly recommend booking this space.

Kona Beachfront- WOW!!!

My wife and I spent a week here, celebrating her birthday. I booked this as a surprise trip so I had to do all of the planning in secret. This condo was exactly as advertised. We couldn’t have asked for anything more. It’s a perfect space for 2. The beach is literally steps away, just be aware that this a great sitting beach but due to the rocks, it’s hard to snorkel when the tide is out. Magic beach to the south is a better option if you want to snorkel. The walk into town is very quick and easy with lots of great dining options for any time of the day. The are also 2 farmers markets nearby with lots of local produce (try the “apple” bananas). Marni and her team have but together a great space and done a super job equipping it with everything you need for a stress free stay. We would definitely stay here again.

Paradise Perfection!

We absolutely loved our stay at this beachfront condo! The unit on the top floor and overlooks a small beach with beautiful ocean views. It's fun to sit on the lanai and watch the activity at the beach and body boarders and surfers ride the waves out front. The beach is a bit rocky at the entrance so it's not the best spot for casual swimming or snorkeling but there are plenty of places a close drive away for these activities. The unit itself is nicely decorated and well appointed with amenities including a good supply of beach gear (snorkeling equipment, body boards, cooler, chairs, beach towels etc.). The grounds are very nice and there is a swimming pool, jacuzzi, BBQ area and a grassy strip of lawn with chairs right in front of the ocean (great for sunset views). My wife and I found the bed to be very comfortable as well. Location is also great, with a short walk to downtown Kona and multiple restaurants and shops. The owner, Marni, was great on all communications and responded promptly to any questions or comments we had. My wife and I kept commenting on how expensive accommodations like this would have been at a hotel, not to mention the added benefit of being able to prepare some of your meals at home and enjoy on the lanai with ocean views. As a side note, for activities on the Big Island, my wife and I really enjoyed the sunset / stargazing tour on Mauna Kea and nigh time snorkeling with the Manta Rays. I highly recommend this place for a great visit to Paradise!

Smartly appointed condo

I’ve stayed at many vacation rentals, but none as consciously furnished and stocked as this one. Marni thought of EVERYTHING, down to the ziplock sandwich bags, drying rack for suits, and honey for tea. Everything worked, was laid out well, and was super comfortable. There was a great balcony view of the beach park below. I gave four stars to the location because homeless folks camp out in that park, although none bothered me or anyone else as far as I can tell. Just a heads up. Bottom line? An owner who cares about her guests. GREAT CONDO.

Great location, cold AC, well stocked condo

We really enjoyed our stay in this unit. The location is great with just a short walk to downtown Kona, and an easy drive to beaches and snorkeling sites south of Kona. The kitchen is well stocked with spices and oils and things like plastic wrap, utensils, pots/pans, etc which made it easy to cook on a few of the evenings during our stay. Also, the unit had beach chairs, beach towels, a cooler, beach umbrella, snorkel gear, etc which was great to have when going to hang out at the beach. The lanai overlooks the small beach and ocean just to the south. Also nice that they bedroom had a separate AC unit rather than just a single unit in the main living area. It feels like the unit was recently renovated as the counters, bathroom, and plumbing fixtures seemed updated. Overall a great unit and we would definitely stay here again.

Best Kona Reef Stay

Marni's unit doesn't miss a beat. Beautiful unit true to photos. All guest needs covered including all the beach gear, multi USB ports on both nightstands, fully stocked kitchen including Tupperware, paper products. A full Brita pitcher waiting in fridge! Some appliances and all switches labeled too. We've stayed at Kona Reef a few times. We were excited to see air conditioning was added to both the living room and bedroom. But you know what? We didn't need it! Ceiling fans, lanai screen and fan worked perfectly! Most comfortable stay. Informative guest book, too, about unit and area restaurant updates. Thank you for a lovely stay. It was great to return! Favorited ❤️for our next Kona stay.
