Great Updates

This is a well maintained unit that is tastefully decorated. The bed linens, bath towels and beach towels were all high quality. The kitchen was well equipped with anything you needed to BBQ down at the pool or cook in the unit. We really appreciated the tall lanai furniture that allowed us to easily whale watch. Also this unit has a locking screen front door which allowed great air flow so we never had to turn on the AC. But speaking of AC this is one of only a handful of units that has AC in the bedroom. Parking is first come first serve however there was never a problem finding a space. But don't forget to put your parking permit on the dash be cause onsite management does check and leave violation notices.The hosts and maintenance people for this unit were very responsive and easy to work with. We will definitely be renting this unit again!

Top-notch experience

This was such an amazing place to begin our Big Island vacation! We spent three nights and wished it could be more. Clean, stocked, quick responses from management, fantastic location. It's just as wonderful as the pictures make it look and I can't recommend this place highly enough. I still dream of the sunsets on the Lanai.

Perfection

Easy to book and great location. So many perfect touches to make this condo comfortable. Great furniture and decor. Extras like boogie boards, beach chairs, welcome chocolates, and first class view of ocean. The cookware is top quality. We never turn on tv while on vacation but i bet it is good also. Would love to return to this particular condo often!

A perfect place to enjoy your holiday!

I’ve stayed in this complex many times. Shannon’s condo is updated and has everything you need for a very comfortable stay. You can’t beat the sound of the waves, and communicating with Shannon is so easy. She’s a great hostess. It’s a lovely place to unwind, and to make a base for your big island adventures. I’ll be back!

Ocean experience

The best part about this condo is the lanai that is right next to the ocean. You can't beat the sound of the waves and the unobstructed view. The rest of the condo is comfortable and wonderful too.

Great Condo!

We absolutely loved this condo. The lanai is so nice for morning coffee and sea turtle watching and evening happy hour sunsets. It is a comfortable place with AC when needed yet ocean breezes as well. We walked to all our restaurants and parking is easy. The TV was great (didn’t use it much…because…lanai) with all the apps and streaming capability. The pull out couch is comfortable We’ll be back. Mahalo!!

Awesome experience!

We absolutely LOVED staying here. It's even better in person than in the photos. Very clean & well equipped. And it is right on the ocean! We sat on the lanai every morning for coffee & night for a glass of wine. Location is absolutely PERFECT. You can literally walk to all the restaurants (and there are a ton of them) & cute shops. The pool area is awesome with plenty of seating, clean grills to cook up a good steak & perfect view of the ocean. The condo provides boogie boards, a cooler, beach chairs & umbrella which we used almost every day. I can't say enough about how much we loved staying here and we plan to come back very soon and won't stay anywhere else other than this fabulous condo! Thank you Shannon for helping to make this one of our best vacations ever!

great view, short walk to Kailua-Kona

The condo was very clean and organized with all the necessities including sunscreen. The only issue was the amount of light that comes through the bedroom window. An earlier reviewer commented on this also and suggested some sort of black-out blinds for the window and I wholeheartedly agree. The corridor light fixture and the red exit lamp fixture (just outside of the window) illuminates the entire bedroom. I used some towels and hung them off of the screens' frames of the window and that didn't even keep much of the light out.

Nice, but a couple of concerns

While the property is nice a couple of concerns - There was not a working smoke detector in the condo even though the listing indicates there is. The smoke detector had been removed from the ceiling. I contacted the owner and she said the handyman removed it to replace the battery. Not a good situation as I rented the place assuming there would be a smoke detector in working order. There is no air conditioner in the bedroom so it is pretty warm. While there was a floor fan it does not provide the circulation needed.

Kona Reef 1BR Ocean Front

Ocean front balcony is wonderful! We loved the location so close to town, restaurants and shopping. The unit is nicely appointed with newer finishes and furnishings, very light and airy. It was very helpful to have the washer and dryer. The one thing that keeps us from rating this as 5 stars is the lack of cleanliness when we arrived. We arrived about 7:00 pm. The sheets and towels were clean but the room itself was not. The floors were dirty, spilled trash and dried banana peels under the sink, dirty dishes and kitchen linens had been put away in the cupboards, dried foods on the counters and floors and the bathroom floor and bathmat were very, very sticky and dirty. We contacted the owner and she said she would send her cleaning person over the next day. The owner was very easy to communicate with and responded immediately and scheduled someone to come by the next day. We chose to do a lot of cleaning ourselves before the cleaner arrived because we were very uncomfortable in the environment. We spent a good amount of the first evening and the next morning cleaning, then the cleaner arrived in the afternoon and finished. This property was rated very high when we booked it so I hope our experience was an anomaly. If this property is clean you will absolutely love your stay here!

Magnificent surf.

Great views and A/C in living room and bedroom a big plus. The surf is right outside the lanai and the high top table a huge plus. Bedroom and bathroom were quite small but functional. Also a bit of a trek to the unit, but if you park on the 2nd floor indoor garage, it makes it a bit closer and easier when moving luggage.Used the beach chairs and beach towels which were great. Go to the four seasons for snorkeling (rent from Boss Frogs) - it was amazing - great facilities and felt like we were in an aquarium (snorkel along the shore reef) with many many fish and turtles!Its an easy walk into town. Walked to the dock and back twice each morning (4.6 miles) which made for a pleasant way to start the day.Shannon (host) was very accomodating and easy to work with and provided lots of ideas of where to go and snorkel. We just go back to Tampa Bay, FL and can't wait to come back!

About the host

Hosted by Shannon Weimer

Aloha! Welcome to our Kona Condo! We are a family that absolutely LOVES visiting Hawaii! We recently bought the condo in 2021 and feel so very thankful to have been able to purchase here at the Kona Reef! We lived in Alaska for 18 years so needless to say, came in search of the sun regularly! Recently, while here in Kona on a golf trip, we took the leap and purchased here in the beautiful town of Kona. My name is Shannon and I will be hosting this site. Currently my family and I live in Idaho where I work as a registered nurse. As often as possible our intention is to spend time here in Hawaii soaking up the Aloha spirit that is everywhere on this beautiful Island. Thank you so much for visiting my listing. Enjoy your stay! Mahalo!
