Completely Renovated! Kona Reef Oceanfront 2 Bedroom Penthouse A37

See dolphins, whales, turtles and surfers from our oceanfront lanai, in the most desirable 2 bedroom penthouse in Kona!

Enjoy our brand new oceanfront pool area , hot tub and BBQ pavilion (completed Nov 2021)!

Kona Reef Oceanfront Resort is the 1st choice in vacation rentals. Unit A37 (previously the developers unit) is one of the largest units 1200 sq feet, offering the most spectacular panoramic views of the Pacific and sunsets. Brand new and beautifully decorated fully equipped kitchen, with granite counter tops with new stainless appliances, and new bathrooms. We are one of the 3 condos with Central Air (brand new system installed June 2024).

The space
Great for families featuring 2 bedrooms each with new mattresses, TV's and 2 new full bathrooms, one of the largest living rooms with a new 65" TV.. Brand New Kitchen with all new appliances, and a bar/beverage area. Indoor dining area/workspace with new furniture and central air condition throughout.


Attention triathletes! We are just 1 mile to the Ironman start and finish, and the 1.2 mile ironman swim turnaround is viewable from the lanai, and the run course passes infront of our complex. Great location for training, racing and viewing the the Ironman World Championships. It's everything and more you could want for your Hawaiian vacation.

Personalized keyless lock entry.

There is a 3-night minimum/10-night during Ironman and Christmas seasons.

This is a non-smoking, no pets unit, no parties or events.

Then unit is perfectly set up, bedrooms very quiet and the description in the ad 100% correct. We greatly enjoyed the views and even more so the corner top floor as we were never aware of anyone else. The unit had everything we needed.

Fantastic accommodation & location!
Incredible views (corner unit) and sound of waves right on the rocky beach. Walkable to town and small beach. Unit is tastefully remodeled with all amenities as listed. Pool, hot tub and grills nice, not crowded and very clean (crew cleans recreational areas every morning!). Main bedroom w/ ensuite bathroom is huge, 2nd bedroom and bathroom good size. Communications easy. Hope to stay again!

Perfect stay in Kona
We had a perfect stay, visiting Kona for the first time the oceanfront apartment was everything we wanted. The views are unforgettable and the apartment is furnished to a high and modern standard throughout. Just a 10-15 min walk in to Kona which is a blessing as parking is very limited in the town. We were only here for 3 nights but it was a highlight of our trip and we’d love to return in future.

This place has it all! The unit is spacious and updated. The pool was delightful. We were able to walk to shops and restaurants. The absolute winner here is the sunset view from the lanai! Waves crashing, surfers, calm and peaceful. Superb location!

This condo was the perfect size for our family and the location was great! We were able to walk to many restaurants in town and the onsite parking made trips to other parts of the island easy. Loved the lanai for relaxing and the washing machine was useful.

Kona reef
The condo was lovely and had a beautiful view. It is an easy walk to morning coffee. We did have a small issue with water and sewer being shut off on our last morning. We tried to get specific times from the owner, but never did. We ended up calling the contractor ourselves to get a time. Feel like that wasn’t my job to do. We ended up having to leave before regular check out time due to the shutoff.

Take the money and run!
Terrible communication, owner emailed us the night before we were leaving to inform us the a/c wasn't working. Found out they new about the a/c for at least 10 days! We should have been called and/or sent a text about this issue sooner and then we would have had time to make a change. 3 portable a/c units were put in the unit which we would have dealt with but they didn't work because the breaker kept tripping. The units blocked our view and we caused blinds to not close properly letting bright morning sun to come in 3 sleeping areas. Owners being on east coast didn't pick up the phone because they are sleeping when we are having an issue; while we can't sleep because it's too hot. There are two bedrooms not three. l would not recommend dealing with these unprofessional VRBO owners. We requested some compensation/refund but didn't receive anything. We spent 2 nights without a/c, an extension cord was left at the door on 3rd day. Between the 3 big noisy units and extension cord we had to deal with, the situation that was not ideal. Owners should have done the right thing and refunded us some of the money for our inconvenience.

This gorgeous two bed two bath apartment was spacious with a beautiful lanai facing the surfers. The kitchen is huge and well-appointed. The master bedroom is really large with a smaller second bedroom. Really enjoyed the hot tub and pool as well.

Beautiful condo marred by AC issues
The condominium was beautiful and well renovated, my family and I loved the deck/lanai. Unfortunately we had issues with the AC. We contacted the owners through VRBO but they live on the east coast and this made communication difficult. All communication was through text, calls were not returned. The lack of a property manager on the island made this issue difficult to work out as by the time we communicated there was a a statement of getting an hvac person out but I did not want to wait or allow them entry by code while our luggage was there.

Absolutely fantastic
The condo was amazing and right on the water. The sunsets were fabulous. The beach next door was rocky so we didn’t get in but the surfers were out everyday. We could easily see yellow fish in the water so I’m sure the snorkeling would have been great but too rough for our taste. Nice easy walk into town for coffee and dinners. No need to drive unless you’re exploring the rest of the island (which I recommend).

Great views!
My family of four had a great stay! Loved the views from the balcony, especially at sunset. Kids enjoyed the pool and it never felt crowded. Walkable to restaurants and shopping but you’ll probably want to drive for a swimmable beach. The small beach area right beside the complex had a few people in the water, but it’s pretty rocky. The tide pools right in front of the complex were fun to check out.

Kona Reef
2 bedroom, 2 full bath oceanfront corner unit located on top floor of Kona Reef complex. Don't know if I would exactly describe this unit as a 'penthouse', as all the many units on the top floor of this complex would then be 'penthouses' also, but it's definitely a great location. Lanai looks directly down on ocean and tidepools, and a good view of pool area. Could use less decorative pillows everywhere (we had to keep shifting them all around and off of the bed and sofas), needs some Kleenex boxes, needs more supply of trash bags.

Condo was beautifully decorated and had everything we would need to make our stay special. We went to sleep hearing the waves crashing on the rocks. We spent most of our time on the lanai with the trades blowing watching the turtles and surfers. It was a wonderful place to stay. Very comfortable and loved it.

Oceanfront Penthouse
Our stay at the Kona Reef was great. It's hard to find a location on the Big Island that has a walkable sandy beach and walk to town and this was it. We traveled with a 6 month old, 3 year old and 6 year old and it was easy maneuvering all around. The best tiki bar is a 10 minute walk and the Royal Kona Resort has some of the best live music line ups on the island. On top of that, communication with Anne the owner was immediate and thorough. We were super happy and give it 5 stars all around.
