Kona Reef #D31

Had a great time here, great location.

This was a girl's trip with my sister in law and a friend. The 2 bdrm/2 bath condo was perfect for the 3 of us! My husband and I stayed at a 1 bedroom unit next door earlier in the year, so I already knew how fantastic the view was. It just can't be beat! Along with the incredible sunsets, we watched surfers below, cruise ships coming into port, parasailers going by, etc. In February we saw whales from the lanai! Unit D31 is located on the top floor and is an end unit, so you have additional windows and overlook the pool. It has everything you need and is nicely furnished. The washer and dryer were wonderful, so we didn't have to lug dirty clothes home. We arrived on a Friday to find the air conditioner wasn't working. Onsite maintenance was quick check it out, but was unable to fix the situation. Since it was a weekend, we were without AC the first 3 days, but a local repairman resolved the issue early Monday morning. However, there are ceiling fans throughout and additional portable fans in the supply closet, so it wasn't too bad except for a couple of hours in the late afternoon. Between the locking screen door at the front, and the sliding door on the lanai, we had a nice flow of air throughout the unit. Parking in the garage was nice for keeping the car cool. The elevator was handy, but once you reach the 3rd floor, there are still about 9 additional stairs you must take to get to the unit. That may be a problem for anyone with mobility issues. We attended the luau next door at the Royal Kona Resort. I recommend paying the small extra for VIP seats. You're right up front for the show, and go through the buffet first. It was a fun evening. I would absolutely recommend this condo, and hope to return again soon!

Great location, super clean

Standouts are the gorgeous lanai view and short walking distance to restaurants and shops. Check in and communication was easy. The unit was clean, well furnished and comfortable. Parking no problem. I was absolutely pleased with my rental choice!

We enjoyed our stay. Beautiful view. Perfect size condo.

Unreal location set right on the reef…best view of huge waves. Corner unit so you can see up and down the coast.

My family and I rented this condo for the week of 4th of July. We couldn’t have imagined a better place and location. The place was super clean and easy to access. The property had an amazing pool and grill pavilion that we spent a lot of time on. Walking distance from town and any activity and restaurant you could want. 20 min from the airport. The views from the condo were enough to just relax and take in the beautiful green water and amazing sunsets. Loved our stay and already looking at booking a future trip. Thanks so much.

We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property. We had everything we needed, including beach chairs, umbrella and paddle board. Kitchen supplies were complete, they even have rice cooker. The location is the best-close to everything. This unit is sooo clean and so comfortable! We will definitely stay here again!

We had a great time during our stay here. The location was convenient—just a short walk to shops and restaurants in Kailua. The condo was clean and the kitchen was well equipped. Would highly recommend this property.

We loved being so close to the surf and the view was superior. Sunset was spectacular and the conch shell blowers were awesome! We were comfortable and felt pampered by the owners who provided so much for our comfort and enjoyment. We could walk into town for shopping and eating or drive to nearby attractions. But this was an excellent place to stay and we will definately be coming back.

Love the view and sound of the ocean. Spacious condo and having AC is great especially for sleeping at night. Plenty of parking spaces available.

Every morning we had Turtles and Yellow Tang off our lanaii eating and giving a great show. Perfect for breakfast. Best view of water, boats, surfers, spinner dolphins and a whale. 7 days of bliss. Close walk to Kona shops and great food. Also enough of everthing in the kitchen for all our own meal. Thank you we would rent again.

Great condo outstanding view from deck

We’ve stayed at Kona Reef before and the building is showing it’s age a bit but this unit was very nice and the most updated one we’ve ever stayed in. The extra large and private balcony is amazing. We spent every sunrise out there soaking in the sites. This unit has everything you need for cooking and doing meals in. One could really live there long term I’d they wanted. The pool and grill area is also great! Look for whales and dolphins from the balcony we saw plenty!

This property has a great location and awesome view. It could use a little updating, but the beds were comfortable and it had everything we needed. The complex was nice, there are a mix of vacation rentals & permanent residents. Easy walk to town and every night we were treated to conch shells at sunset, really cool!!!

Great location. Wonderful view of the ocean. Well equipped. It was nice that beach towels, 2 chairs, a cooler and an umbrella were provided.

This condo is our favorite. The view alone is priceless. Can't wait to come back next year.

Well-maintained property.

Great location great property!

We loved staying in the condo. We stayed in a different unit in this location and decided to splurge to get oceanfront. We don’t regret it. The condo is comfortable, was clean and the views were amazing.

A wonderful place to stay. Very comfortable and accommodating for our family!

We were looking for a place to stay walking distance to restaurants and gelato/coffee shops without compromising the view and sounds of the ocean that we came for. We found it in this condo which had magnificent views and sounds all night. The beds were comfy and it was equipped with all of the basics. Our family of four (teenagers) were very comfortable. We enjoyed starting and ending our days on the lanai watching the surfers, boogie boarders and sunsets. Wouldn’t recommend you join the locals in the waters right off the property unless you are very experienced, it is very rocky. Check in/out was very easy and we had no need to engage management during our 5-day stay.

Usually stay in Sea village ocean front units, made a change because of the centralized AC in this place with older parent. Worked out great. AC was needed as it was 90 degrees some days, made it easy to sleep and cook inside. Comfortable, easy access to town and beach, pool was nice and staff seemed attentive. We will rent this unit again. It was a great week.

Everything you need for a great vacation. The condo had all amenities and was clean. The view is the best.

We live on the east side of the island, but whenever we feel the need for some Kona sun this is the place we like to go the best. Perfect accommodations, beach right next door, and walking distance to town. We'll come back again and again!

This condo really made our trip. We were able to relax and enjoy the sound of the waves below us. The room was incredibly private and the lanai was large enough for us to spread out and have space to relax. The entire condo grounds were well cared for and quiet. The pool was wonderful and there were usually not many people in it. We had never been to Kona before and felt very fortunate to book a condo that was within an easy walking distance to town with all of the shops and restaurants. The Royal Kona Hotel is within walking distance and offers a wonderful luau. We were able to get great pictures that makes everyone jealous when we show them. The beds were very comfortable as well. This really is a place to remember and we would love to return and stay in the same room again another year.

This was our 4th stay at the Kona Reef and our 1st in this unit. We loved it. The unit is spacious and airy and well laid out. While it has central air, we didn’t use it. Keeping the doors & windows open did the trick. The shutters on the windows are a nice touch - they really let us control air flow and light. The view is absolutely amazing - bring binoculars. I got to be quite adept at spotting turtles in the tidal pools below. Melissa from Sunquest was a joy to work with. Very professional, pleasant & accommodating. She made a fabulous vacation even better.

We have stayed in Kona Reef unit D-31 several times, and it’s alwaays delightful. Waking to the waves washing ashore is relaxing and pleasant. Walking to town is short, easy, and enjoyable. We have already booked our next trip!

Have been a long time Kona Reef patron. Have been going there since late 80's. It is convient and well taken care of. Love the BBQ area with the pool and hot tub. My late husband and I visited when ever we could. We were even married there. I came this year to spread his ashes. I'll be back soon. Mahalo!

This two bedroom, two bath is on the top floor and looks out to sea. There is nothing between you and the ocean. You can sit on the balcony and listen to the sea all day if you want to or easily walk to many restaurants and to the start of the Iron Man. This is an end unit so you have many more windows therefore lots of light. Equipped with everything even a garlic press and lemon/lime press. The way the apartment is positioned makes it very quiet. This place is also totally air conditioned, not just a window unit cooling the living room, very clean and bright. I would highly recommend this unit.
