About this property

Beautiful Oceanfront Kona Reef Resort Private Top Floor Condo A33, AC throughout

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 Superhosts and Premier Partners and we have worked hard to make sure you will have the most comfortable stay ever!

We have updated this beautiful condo to our exacting requirements: we've added brand new quiet and powerful Dual Zone air conditioning in the living room/kitchen area and its own separate unit in the bedroom. We've also added a brand new beautiful high quality queen sofabed in the living room and expanded the seating.

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! Top floor offers the best privacy and security.

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 newly installed Dual Zone air conditioning throughout the living room and the bedroom. Additionally, ceiling fans in the living room, lanai, and bedroom create a pleasant breeze. This condo has been fully remodeled and upgraded.
Beautiful brand new wood framed sliding glass doors have been installed between the living room and the lanai. The condo features a king bed in the bedroom. A brand new high end queen sofa bed in the living room pulls out into a comfortable bed, thanks to the latest technology. No uncomfortable bar underneath! 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 to your own streaming services to watch on both SMART TVs. There is also a DVD player.
The kitchen features high end cabinetry, granite counters, and is outfitted with modern appliances - a brand new full stove/oven, a large refrigerator, a dishwasher, and a full-sized microwave. It is ready for use with coffee maker, toaster, kettle, blender, rice cooker, 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.
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, two boogie boards, snorkeling sets (including masks, fins and tubes), and cooler bag.
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!
Kona Reef Resort is extremely well situated, right on Alii Drive, about 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.
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.
So, come and enjoy Paradise - your dream vacation is just a click away!

Perfect stay

We enjoyed our 10 days - the condo was well stocked with everything you need. Plenty of space to unpack, store things and spread out to enjoy the fantastic sunset view. Walkable to shops and restaurants, but away from the masses so all quiet and relaxing. You will not be disappointed if you book this!

Love this condo!

We highly recommend this wonderful condo! The location was absolutely ideal—close to everything, but far enough away to enjoy peace and quiet. The condo itself is great. Comfortable bed and furniture. Great lanai. Incredible view! Lots of boogie boarders and surfers to watch. Wonderful to have a parking place included. Great owners. Air conditioning was very cool and comfortable. I would definitely stay here again!

Everything was truly wonderful. Sitting on the lanai right by the ocean each morning having coffee and each evening watching the sunset was a delight. Great to be able to walk to several good restaurants. From beach chairs to portable umbrellas and boogie boards, everything one might possibly want or need was provided.

About the host

Hosted by Ailin Grison

Host profile image
Aloha! We purchased our first condo at Kona Reef in 2018. After enjoying many family vacations, were excited when this condo became available - also top floor, beach and ocean-front. We wanted a second condo to be able to house our family and friends when we came for our extended stays! This is our dream island home and we are excited to share it with you! We are experienced short-term rental owners and are Premier Partners and Superhosts from our first condo. 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 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.
