Gateway to Paradise ❤️❤️❤️
WOW! I’m so sorry that I couldn’t leave 100 stars for this property & Debi. My wife and I spent 18 beautiful and gorgeous days here in Kona at this property. I hate to refer to Our Paradise as this property. From the time we opened the front door on August 12th until we locked up and left on August 30th we thought we had died and went to Heaven. The property is immaculate in every way from the front to the back. Ms. Debi has so many supplies for you that we only had to buy our one food and cook it at the condo or at the 4 gas grills at the pool. Debi and myself kept in touch everyday. Morning reports were so important to us because we wanted to thank her everyday. You leave your stress and problems behind as soon as you walk in and open up the door to the lanai and see that beautiful aqua marine water and waves include😂. My wife and I have already told Ms. Debi that we would be returning to this piece of Paradise. Debi, from the bottom of our hearts I want to thank you so very much. You are a GREAT Host. Thank you and God Bless. Frank & Peggy Homenick ❤️🙏🤙🏄‍♂️🌊🌴🌺

New Favorite
Kona just might be our new favorite place to visit, largely due to Debi's condo. Everything you could ever need, plus more! Walking distance to downtown, centrally located to other amazing beaches/snorkel sites, equipped with all the things for a beach vacation, and literally steps from the water. Exceeded expectations. Plus, Debi was so helpful and made us feel right at home. This was also our first time staying on the ground floor, and I'm not sure I could ever go back to anything else...the pictures don't do it justice. Already planning our next trip back!

Vacances Big Island (Kona) Juillet '23
Nous y avons demeuré 3 nuits lors de notre passage dans la région de Kona. Très propre, bien organisé, très complet. Nous avons été charmé par la vue sur l'océan et les couchés de soleil. La piscine et les BBQ mis à notre disposition étaient très bien. Lit et divan lit confortable. Nous y retournerions sans hésité.

Paradise on Big Island
We arrive late Friday night and it was easy to check in into the condo. The location is amazing, getting up the sound of the waves crashing is a way to start your day. The condo is fully equipped. It’s an easy walk to Shop and restaurant. We enjoyed every moment of our holidays. Thank you

Unforgettable Stay at Kona Reef D3
I cannot begin to share what a wonderful experience we had on our first visit to the Big Island. A few weeks before our trip, the owner, Debi sent us the most complete instructions on how to access the condo and the warmest wishes for our stay. The condo was wonderfully appointed with a fully stocked kitchen, spices, etc. and fully stocked, full size washer and dryer. Perfect for our long stay. The bed was dreamy, comfortable as was the furnishings in living room. The view was heart-stopping GORGEOUS! It is the perfect oceanfront view and space to relax, un-plug and just soak in the Aloha spirit! Made some wonderful friends at the nightly happy hour by the pool and hope to see them on the Big Island when we come back! Incredible experience all around and by far the BEST VRBO Condo we have ever rented~

Wonderful property
We loved our stay here. The condo has everything you need. It was a little cozy with 2 adults and 2 teenagers, but the ground-floor lanai helps make it feel more spacious. The view and sound of the ocean are unbeatable. Our kids have slept on a lot of pullout sleeper sofas, and the air mattress on this one made it much more comfortable. Enjoyed being within walking distance of shops and restaurants. Excellent communication with our host Debi.

Location and Hospitality!
The condo is ocean front and we could not get enough of that view! We walked out on the reef and spotted a sea turtle right away! We named him Horace and would look for him each day! The condo had everything we needed and then some! The additional air mattress on hideabed was way more comfortable than the typical mattress! We also enjoyed the ocean front pool and spa! The owners provided great information on places to go and instructions. We could walk next door to resort and have happy hour drinks at sunset and walk to town and shop within 5 minutes! We enjoyed Kona Reef and will be back!

This condo was terrific. Sit on the lanai and watch the surfers, listen to the surf. The bed was firm and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked and all of the appliances worked. Arrival and departure were easy and the condo was clean when we got there. The owner is responsive and easy to communicate with. It is clear that the owner cares about her property and her guests.

Comfortable condo, fantastic view
My husband & I stayed here during our Hawaii vacation & didn't want to leave! The condo was very comfortable, and Debi was very friendly & responsive. The owners had thought of everything, and the location was fantastic. It was within walking distance of downtown, with restaurants and shopping, and the view was fantastic! We spent many hours on the lanai watching the waves and surfers. The air conditioning was nice to get the humidity out of the air, but as they admit, it was a bit noisy; however, we didn't use it very much, so that wasn't really an issue. There was every Even thought we didn't use them, there was a small beach within walking distance, as well as a pool and hot tub. We will definitely choose this unit if we come back!

About the host

Hosted by Debi Peterson

Host profile image
We as a family purchased this condo in 2011-- we have owned at least one condo unit at the Kona Reef for over 30 years. We LOVE IT HERE!
We (3 sisters) OWN this condo --we are not property managers or real estate agents. So this is our home ... and we invite you to enjoy it as we do.
PLEASE CONTACT me (Debi) by phone if you'd like. Call or text: 267-252-9083

Why they chose this property

The Kona Reef is located within walking distance of everything in Kona. The management of this complex is very attentive to detail and safety of all the guests. The public gardens, pool area and ocean front is immaculately tended. AND ... the view of the waves is spectacular from our condo -- we love counting the black and yellow Tang we see in the clear waves as they crest just steps off our lanai!

What makes this property unique

The sunsets, the fresh breezes, the glorious sunshine, the views of the waves, fish, dolphins and surfers -- all are often a distraction to the good books we are trying to read! We are able to rest and refresh and rejuvenate in our special Kona time!
Even when we have to 'work' -- sitting at the computer while on the lanai makes the 'work' much more invigorating and easier to accomplish!
We invite YOU to experience this in our home!
