About this property

Beautiful Oceanfront Kona Reef Resort Private Top Floor Condo D36, AC throughout

Come to Paradise. Wake up to amazing sunrises and enjoy magnificent sunsets with an unobstructed view of the ocean, and take in the shoreline magnificence of beautiful Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii.

We are the proud owners of this beautiful vacation home and we are excited to share this slice of Paradise with you! We are experienced Premier Partners and Superhosts and we have worked hard to make sure you will have the most comfortable stay ever!
(We love it here at the Kona Reef so much that we purchased a second condo so that we can have family and friends stay when we are here! See our listing under: Property #2128057 for condo A33).
This modern, completely private top floor (of 3 floors and a basement floor) condo is one of the premier units in the highly desirable Kona Reef Resort situated on the water’s edge luxury hotel strip. You'll be enjoying the top floor for extra quiet and security, not to mention unmatched ocean views. This vacation condo is not just in an oceanfront complex, it is a proper Oceanfront Condo. Don't be disappointed with your rental. True oceanfront condo complexes are hard to find and the only real oceanfront condos at Kona Reef are located in buildings A and D. Any others are just ocean view!

**LATEST NEWS!!! We just remodeled our bedroom and upgraded to a brand new, comfortable KING bed!

We are situated a comfortable few steps away from the general pool/jacuzzi/barbecue area and yet conveniently around the corner so as to avoid any disruptive noises from there. The condo feels like a home away from home, with an up close view of the blue waters of the Pacific Ocean where you will experience Hawaii in all its natural splendor, removed from the tourist crowds. Palm trees sway softly as the waves rush into shore. Look for dolphins, turtles, and if you’re lucky, even whales frolicking right in front of you! Every sunset, a few boogie boarders will ride those waves into Honl's Beach, just 200 feet away. This is known as the home of boogie boarding. The little beach at the corner of the resort grounds, is an easy 2-minute walk from the condo, and features a small cove where there is some nice snorkeling to be had.
* Please note that while there is an elevator to get to the top floor, there is an additional short flight of stairs to climb - a total of 9 steps.
The well-appointed condo is clean, bright, and airy, and is one of just a few units in the resort with EFFICIENT AND QUIET Dual Zone air conditioning throughout the living room and bedroom. Additionally, ceiling fans in the living room, lanai, and bedroom create a pleasant breeze. This condo has been fully remodeled and upgraded. Brand new beautiful wood framed glass sliding doors open from the living room to the lanai. There is a KING bed with a brand new memory foam mattress in the bedroom. In the living room, a brand new high end sofa bed pulls out into a very comfortable queen bed, thanks to the latest technology. No uncomfortable bar under your back! Comfortable bedding is provided for both beds. The bathroom features a walk-in shower, raised sink, and modern fixtures. Cable television is offered in both the living room and in the bedroom. You are also able to connect your streaming services on both SMART TVs. There is also a DVD player and an iphone-compatible sound system. The kitchen features high end cabinetry, granite counters, and is outfitted with modern appliances - a full stove/oven, a large refrigerator, a dishwasher, and a microwave. It is ready for use with coffee maker, toaster, kettle, blender, and plates, glasses, cups, and utensils. A brand new high end and efficient Asko European clothes washer and dryer inside the condo are available for your convenience. High speed internet with WiFi and a land line phone service that includes all local calls plus free long distance calling to the US mainland and Canada are included. There is a small office desk area.
Please note: we have a strict NO SMOKING rule.
Should you decide to spend a day at the beach, a supply of essentials is readily available: beach towels, a beach umbrella, beach mats, boogie boards, snorkeling sets (including masks, fins, tubes), and a large rolling cooler.
The property’s oceanfront pool and jacuzzi, and poolside barbecues are all ready for your use. It is a great place to gather and make new friends over sunsets and dinner!
A parking pass is available for the duration of your stay and will be left for you in the condo. There is ample parking available on the property: a rooftop parking area, street level outdoor parking, and two underground levels of a covered parking garage.
Kona Reef Resort is situated on the water’s edge luxury hotel strip that takes you into the center of town. It is a 5-minute walk from Kona town where there are plenty of restaurants, bars, shops, the local farmers market, and Kailua Pier. Some of the best beaches on the island are just a few minutes drive away.
The island lives up to its name: The Big Island. It IS big, and there are many things to see from white sand to black sand, and even green sand beaches where the honu (sea turtles) come onto shore, to coffee plantations and of course the Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park. For sports lovers, there are all varieties of activities: surfing, canoeing, is, after all, the site of the annual Ironman World Championships as well as the annual Queen Lili’uokalani Canoe Races, the world’s largest long distance canoe race. In fact, the Ironman open water swim and the race canoes pass right in front of the condo so you can watch right from the comfort of the lanai.
So, come and enjoy Paradise - your dream vacation is just a click away!

Great condo in perfect location
The top floor condo with a fabulous view of the ocean was very comfortable, nicely decorated with split unit air conditioning in bedroom and living room. It was very well stocked with coffee, condiments, snacks and plenty of beach toys including umbrellas, chairs, snorkel equipment and beach chairs. We appreciated the location very much. It was in a quiet location but still close enough to walk to great restaurants and shops nearby in Kona. Communication with our host was fantastic and she proactively checked in with us and responded via text promptly when we had any questions. We would highly recommend the condo and would stay here again.

Wonderful Condo with Incredible Views
This was such a great condo we stayed in. There were many little things the owners did to make us feel welcome (a welcome basket of goodies, checking in with us the day after we arrived, etc.). We had an issue with the pull out couch and the owner's response was immediate (on a Sunday!) and it was fixed within hours. Very, very impressive. The condo was clean and well stocked. Particularly, we enjoyed the beach supplies (especially the beach umbrella) and the binoculars. The complex is very quiet and the pool/hot tub were nice. Great options for grilling. And the views...incredible! Would highly recommend!

Beautiful Ocean Front Condo
The rental is in the perfect location to walk down the street to where all the shops and restaurants are located. The owner gave the best recommendations for places to eat and beaches to visit! She reached out during our visit to make sure we didn’t need anything. The condo was clean and well stocked with the most beautiful sunset views. I would recommend this rental to anyone staying in Kona!

Best location!
You just can't beat the location of this condo, D36, at Kona Reef. You can spend hours on the lanai watching waves, surfers and whales. The sunsets are magnificent! A short walk toward town gives you access to all the restaurants and shopping you could want. There's a small beach for laying in the sun or watching the surfers... not for surfing beginners! The condo itself is perfect, clean, well-maintained, updated, and it has everything you'll need for a beach outing including chairs, umbrella, snorkel gear, cooler, and boogie boards. This is our second time staying here, each time for two weeks, and we've loved every minute. We hope to come back again!

Great trip and exactly as we expected. Location is terrific and waterfront patio was incredible. Unit is on the top floor, AC worked great and the condo was well stocked with paper items, etc. I’d love to see some nicer bedsheets, warmer lighting in the bathroom and lounge chairs on the patio, but that’s just my bougie side coming out. ;) Thanks for a great stay!

Ok place but a little dated
It was an ok place to stay. It wasn’t the cleanest, hair in the shower drain and the outside of the toilet wasn’t clean (they just need a new cleaning service). My husband mentioned it and he doesn’t ever see things like that so that tells you a lot. The furniture was a little dated - it just needs updated furniture. We went to another apartment in the same complex (a friend stayed there) and it was really nice and up to date. The location is great for restaurants and shopping but there were a ton of homeless people in that area. Overall it was an ok stay.

Ideal location
The condo is in an ideal location, just a short walk to town. My wife competed in Ironman WC and we found the location perfect for this as well. I used the condo easily as home base during the event. The unit is quaint with a spacious lanai with incredible sunset views!!! Ailin is wonderful and provided extremely responsive communication and very clear directions for use of the condo and amenities. We felt like we were in our own home away from home in the condo. There was a binder with comprehensive recommendations for touring the island (beaches, restaurants, etc) that we took full advantage of during our stay. We have recommended the unit to many friends already!! Mahalo Ailin for being the perfect host!!

About the host

Hosted by Ailin Grison

Host profile image
Aloha! This is our dream island home and we are excited to share it with you! We love it so much here that we have purchased two condos at the Kona Reef. We are experienced short-term rental owners and are Premier Partners and Superhosts. We are conscientious about running our vacation rental as smoothly as it has been in the past, with professional housekeeping and available on-island assistance. We will also be available to answer any questions and address any concerns you may have by phone, text, or email.

Why they chose this property

This is our Happy Place and once you see for yourself, you will understand why. There is nothing to beat the sound of waves rolling into shore, to watch the sky magically turn colors at sunrise and sunset, and to see the island's Java sparrows twitter and hop around on the lanai railing, all from the complete privacy of our upper floor haven. Life slows down and we find ourselves enjoying the simple things in life every time we are on the island. We fell in love with the Kona Reef Resort because of its prime oceanfront location, and its removal from the hustle and bustle of tourist crowds. At the same time, you can't beat it for its practical proximity to Kona Town, a mere 5-minute walk to cafes, restaurants, and shops. We found it to be ideal for our frequent island stays.

What makes this property unique

Our guests tell us that while they enjoy all the attractions the island has to offer, they find themselves hurrying back to the condo to enjoy the magnificent sunsets from our lanai.
In the mornings, sit on the lanai and look carefully and you will often spot dolphins and humpback whales right in front of you. Honu (Hawaiian sea turtles) often swim into shore right in front of the property too.
