LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION

Kona Reef unit A27 is a rare find! It is one of only a few 2-bedroom oceanfront condos at Kona Reef and one of only two that sit directly in front of the Honls Surf spot. When surf is up, you can enjoy hours of free entertainment from the comfort of your private and spacious lanai. Less than 1 mile from the start of the Kona Ironman. Super convenient for those brave souls coming to Kona to complete in that grueling race or for those necessary and very much appreciated volunteers that come every year to help make the race a success.This condo is 1020 sq. ft. and roomy. One of the few 2 bedroom - 2 bath units available at Kona Reef, this unit is absolute oceanfront. The corner unit allows for sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean and Kona Coastline. Extra windows allow for exceptional natural lighting and airflow without allowing for excessive direct sunlight and heat. The extra windows face north. The sun comes directly into the unit only late afternoon when the sun drops low before setting. This condo is located in the heart of Kailua-Kona Village, and borders a sandy beach. Enjoy watching dolphins and whales (seasonally) from your private lanai.
The living room is equipped with a window AC. The airflow allowed through the sliding glass doors that open to the ocean and the windows throughout this condo comfortable, even in the summer. The kitchen is fully stocked with whatever you may need. Keep an eye on the kids at the pool while preparing something to eat in the kitchen. While this unit has a direct view of the pool, noise from the pool is mitigated by the sound of the surf coming through the sliding glass doors that open to the lanai. Kona Reef unit A27 includes a Cal-king bed in the primary bedroom, and a queen-size bed in the guest bedroom. A washer/dryer is included for your convenience.

Other amenities include:
hair dryer
Iron
beach chairs, umbrella, beach towels and cooler

Kona Reef is a beautifully maintained complex that includes covered and uncovered parking, a pool, spa and BBQ area. There is an elevator in the complex, but if you park in the top parking lot, the elevator is not needed. There are 3 steps between the parking lot and condo entrance. Some stairs are required even if you park in the covered parking and use the elevator. A sandy beach borders the property on the south side. Unless you prefer to drive, you can leave your car parked and walk. You will find restaurants, shopping and local activities within three blocks of the complex. The main attraction is stunning blue water views and sunsets every night. The lanai is only 100 feet, at the most, from the water.

Sound of waves all day and night!
The location of this property to shopping and restaurants was wonderful! An easy walk into town. The location of the condo on the property was perfect. Oceanfront and could see the pool area also. Views for days! Inside was clean and comfortable. Luckily there were lots of fans because the small AC didn’t do its job and we ended up giving up on using the fans only even though it was quite warm while we were there. It was a great condo and we would stay again.

Fabulous View!
It was a breeze finding and getting in to our condo (A27). We did find some missed cleaning of our unit window and window sill of the master bath, all tile floors need a good scrubbing, all windows and screens need to be cleaned, new throw pillows on couch’s recommended and cushions on patio chairs. The master bath is too small and toilet does not work well, sink smelled like sewer. Other than that it was great.

Nice place
This property as a whole is a different set up. You take an elevator but still have to go up or down 6 stairs to get to the floor of your unit. This unit was spacious and the view couldn’t be better! The guest room could really use up dating, the blinds were falling off the window, there was really no decor. A mirror and a luggage rack would’ve been nice. The guest bathroom was clean but dish jet feel clean because of how dated things were. I was also disappointed that there was no soap or shampoo in that bathroom. The master was very nice! There were beach toys, chairs, umbrellas, tennis rackets and snorkeling gear in the closet. The ac didn’t work great but was helpful. We couldn’t figure out how to get spectrum on the tv. Over all it was a nice place.

Great location - fantastic view
There are not enough words to describe the fantastic view from this unit. The location is also a huge plus, easy walking distance to everything you need. The unit was also well equipped with accessories. I would stay here again. This is the fourth unit we have stayed in over the years at this complex and we always enjoy our time there. That said, this particular unit was not as clean as expected, floors and windows, and the unit is showing its' wear and tear. The location is unbeatable.

Amazing stay!
The view and location of this unit was amazing. I'd have to say A27 is probably one of the best units in this building for sunsets. It could use a bit of updating but very clean and with a great layout. The kitchen was very well stocked with dishes, cutlery, knives, pots/pans, storage containers (nice surprise), coffee pot/grinder. We discovered the blender was broken one night and it was replaced within hours. Amazing! If coffee in the morning is a must and you are arriving late, I would recommend bringing coffee with you as there was none when we arrived. I would highly recommend this unit for anyone that was considering visiting Kona.

Great view, But...
If it wasn't for the view, the location and the attentiveness of the staff and host, this would be @ 2 stars at best. The view is unmatched and the location to town is incredibly convenient. However, when we arrived the A/C was turned off as well as the ceiling fans and the internet router was unplugged. The first night was uncomfortably warm and we discovered it was partly because 2 of the 3 ceilings fans were only able to go at low speed. We were able to have the fans replaced and all was well in the end. Now that the fans have been replaced I would recommend this unit to others. Slightly dated and worn but for us the view made up for that.

Great Location
This was our 3rd time staying at Kona Reef. We really like the location of the complex, and especially love the oceanfront units. On the positive side, this unit had everything we needed - from cooking to beach stuff to a cooler and ice packs and binoculars and flashlight for a trip to Volcano National Park. As others have noted, the unit itself could use some refreshing, and I have provided some specific suggestions to the owner which I hope will enable this unit to go from very nice to great!

The view from the lanai makes this property worth renting by itself. We were able to see dolphins, turtles, fish, and eels without leaving the condo. There are great restaurants within walking distance and a kid friendly beach nearby. We’ll definitely be back!!

Ideal location
We greatly enjoyed our visit to Hawaii. The location of the condo was perfect. Only blocks away from the first Christian church on the island, shopping, the Royal Kona luai, manta ray dives and snorkeling, beautiful beaches and more. The condo was clean, in good condition, comfortable beds, beautiful views of ocean. Pool was nice. Met lots of friendly, kind people.

Fantastic location!
We thoroughly enjoyed our recent stay. The views from the condo are incredible, and the proximity to town is perfect. We walked to many dinners/activities in town and what wasn’t within walking distance was only a short ride away. We had one very minor issue while we were there, and the management company was very quick to respond and resolve the issue. The condo is well stocked with everything you need for a great time in Hawaii!

Panoramic view and relaxation
This property was everything we hoped for as a family of four. It gave us the space we needed for two weeks as guests at the Kona Reef. The views from the main living area and kitchen are absolutely worth it and we found ourselves relaxing on the lanai just looking for whales. The condo was well stocked with the basics and I always appreciate when owners have a few fun extras (books about the island, games, puzzles, etc). The beds were very comfortable, as were the pillows, although we could have used an extra blanket or two. The kitchen included everything we needed to make some great meals and snacks. But you really could use a new toaster :) We had no issues requiring assistance from the owner. And for the most part, it was very quiet although the bedrooms do face the pool so sometimes you have to wait out a few loud talkers. But that wasn’t a big deal. We will definitely be back!
