Summary:

Let the sound of the Pacific set the schedule. This oceanfront one-bedroom condo at Kona Reef puts up to four guests just steps from the beach, with a full kitchen, air conditioning, and the ocean view waiting whenever you look up. Walk to nearby restaurants and shops, or make the short drive to Magic Sands Beach Park, Kahalu'u Beach Park, and Kaloko-Honokohau National Historical Park, all within five miles. After a day in the water, choose between a swim in the community pool, a soak in the hot tub, or an evening at the shared grill with the sea nearby. The washer and dryer mean you can travel lighter and reset the beach towels easily. This is Kailua-Kona at its simplest and best: water close, town close, and no need to rush. It works beautifully for a couple, a small family, or friends who want the ocean to be the main event.



The Space:

Ocean views are the heart of this 611-square-foot condo, with the beach and water just beyond the complex. Inside, the one-bedroom, one-bath layout includes a full kitchen for easy meals and two beds for up to four guests. Air conditioning is on hand for warmer afternoons, and the washer and dryer make beach days more convenient. Settle in, then let the setting do the work.



Guest Access:

Guests at Kona Reef enjoy access to the oceanfront communal pool and hot tub, plus resort grounds just steps from the beach. A private entrance and lit walkway make arrivals easy. Some resort facilities are operated independently by the resort. It is a comfortable, amenity-rich base right on the Kailua-Kona coastline.



The Neighborhood:

Kailua-Kona runs along the sunny west side of the Big Island, where Ali'i Drive follows the water past small beaches, coffee stops, and the historic center of Kailua Village. Browse the farmers market, watch boats come and go at Kailua Pier, or make a beach day of nearby Honl's Beach. South of town, Kahalu'u Beach Park is a favorite for reef snorkeling. It is an easy base for families who want beach time, local food, and a real Kona evening within reach.



Getting Around:

Kona International Airport is about 10 to 15 minutes away, making arrival simple. A rental car is recommended so you can explore the Kona Coast at your own pace. Downtown Kailua-Kona's shops, restaurants, and oceanfront Ali'i Drive are often within walking distance or a short drive, with beaches, snorkeling spots, and grocery stores close by. Parking is generally available on site or nearby, whether street or lot.



Other Things to Note:

This property is managed by Heavenly Vacations.

    We loved this property! Watching the waves fromthe lanai was amazing and so relaxing. It was only a short hop to Kona Country Club golf and a short walk into Kona where everything is available. Will definitely be back!

    This is our 4th stay at Kona Reef resort, each time a different ocean front room. We loved the added amenities of a small cooler, umbrella, books. Fully stocked kitchen. We love this resort

    This unit is sublimely located. The view is everything one wants when planning a HI trip. Pool in complex is nice, with an adjacent hot tub and grill area. It is located a mile or so out of downtown Kona, so near to but not stuck in the middle of things. It is nice to have full kitchen and bathroom is decent. A couple or parents with 1-2 kids would have a fabulous time using this as a home base for exploring the big island.Some of my favorite memories of my whole trip at sitting on the lanai in the morning watching boats,outriggers, swimmers, etc go by in the distance. One day I even saw a a group of dolphins. Sunsets are magical too.

    View and shower were amazing. TVs should not need pages in a binder to figure out. Also, what good are instructions in a binder for getting into the apartment if you can't get into the apartment and the company's preferred texting communication is worthless? Thank goodness for the phone representative AND the property manager. Place only 1 keypad or lockbox on door and make sure they work. Also, dust the closet and leave room for hanging. Clean your floor fans, dust TV areas and closet floor. The beds were amazingly UNCOMFORTABLE! But the view and shower helped distract the inconveniences with being locked out and dust.

    We stayed 9 nights. Parking spots are narrow, but we managed. The condo was exactly as pictured and exceeded our expectations: clean, abundant linens, equipped with laundry and kitchen cleaning essentials. The pantry had some supplies; check in before going shopping. King bed was comfortable with additional bedding. AC units in bedroom and living room have their own thermostats and were quiet. Ceiling fans were helpful. Uninterrupted view of the ocean and sunset were breathtaking. Weird quirk: the front door lacks a door knob—awkward to open and close. We were glad we brought a bluetooth speaker to hook up to the TV so we could hear it.The Vacasa support was helpful when the pool key was not where the instructions said it would be, but they helped us find it fairly quickly. About Kona Reef and the immediate area around it are worth noting. The pool at Kona Reef was overall nice, though be careful about the slopes at the sides of the pool and especially on the seats in the jacuzzi. It is easy to slip and bonk your head on the side of the jacuzzi if you aren’t careful. BBQs are typically available. Also, next door is the foundation of what appears to be a dismantled condo complex that appears a bit sketchy. Kona Reef is also rather close to the shopping/bars/restaurants just up the road. Very convenient.For the price point, we were very happy with our experience and would highly recommend renting this condo. We would stay here again.

    This condo sits right next to the ocean, and it’s lovely to sit on the lanai and have coffee or a meal and watch the waves and the sunrise—or look for whale spouts! We had trouble getting in because we were given the code for the door rather than for the lockbox attached to the screen. Had to call and ask for the lockbox code to lock up after our stay. But the people were helpful and easy to contact. The washing machine is very loud but it works well.

    The property was as described and meet my expectations. The waterfront location was very nice, I enjoyed watching and listening to the ocean during my entire stay. I would stay here again. The combination for the lock provided was for the actual doorknob lock assembly.

    As advertised. Ocean is only 25 yards from the ground floor porch. Though the unit is old it was very clean. Overhead light in living area pull chain was broken so no light. Location is great. I would stay again

    We loved our proximity to the ocean, but wish it was a bit safer to leave the sliders open at night so we could hear the ocean in the back bedroom better. A few homeless folks had a little too much access to the area just over our wall
