Beautiful Stay Just South of Kona

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful stay at Kona Reef D17 in August 2023! The highlight of this well-accommodated, clean condo is the lanai at the ocean's edge. We changed our busy itinerary to just sit and enjoy. We had questions during our stay and Knutson was very responsive. The condo is just a block's walk from restaurants and shopping of Kona. We didn't use the pool, but it looked lovely and had the ocean view as well. We will rebook this condo when we return to the Big Island!

Great location, AMAZING view... everything we needed. The property managers are wonderful... very responsive to our every need. I would highly recommend this place. Also, we could see a catamaran from the lanai each day and found out it was the Kona Style snorkel cruise heading for Captain Cook. We booked it!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I did not know what to expect but this condo has it all!! Walking into the condo and seeing the ocean is an experience I hope everyone gets to have!! Everything was impeccably clean, labeled and available. We cooked many of our meals in the kitchen and had everything we needed and more. The bed is VERY comfortable with AC in the master. Bathroom has beautiful art and great lighting. Plenty of hooks and storage available throughout. Living room was a dream with the million dollar view (and AC). Comfortable couch, comfortable eating area. Location of the condo is walking distance to everything, even bikes if you want to go a little further. The community area is clean and a BBQ always available. Hot tub was never over crowded. Pool opens early for those of us who have jet lag. This property has everything! The rental company had quick and efficient communication. I felt like they truly wanted me to experience the Aloha experience, and boy did we. If we ever come back to the Big Island again, I am definitely staying in this condo again!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We love the location of the Kona Reef. The condo exceeded our expectations. The owners have really paid attention to detail. They have also provided a brand new stacked washer dryer in the unit which works amazing. The property mgmt company, Knutson & Associates, answered all of our questions immediately which was great. I wanted to cook something but noticed there was no large frying pan. I texted them to let them know. When we got home there was a brand new box of cookware at the door. My husband and I were so impressed. The location and the view are unbeatable you can walk to town if you want but it’s all about the VIEW!!!!!! Sitting on the Lanai every night with a cocktail enjoying sunset it just can’t get any more beautiful and relaxing. The living room furniture is very comfortable. We appreciated the big TV in the living room and in the bedroom and the bed was very comfy. We really couldn’t have asked for anything more. It was really perfect!!!! We can’t wait to return to Kona and we will definitely go through Knutson & Associates and stay in unit D 17.

If I could give this condo more stars I would! This is probably the most well equipped VRBO that we have ever stayed in. The kitchen is well appointed with cookware, utensils, and dinnerware. The bathroom has nice thick bath towels, and washcloths with extra located in the closet. They also provide very nice beach/pool towels for your use. The condo is beautifully decorated with convenient cable and Wi-Fi available. The views from the balcony are spectacular and we spent many a morning and evening enjoying watching the surfers, whales and dolphins, paddlers, and the occasional cruise ship not to mention the absolutely spectacular sunsets. The heated pool was a rare treat and we always had the pool to ourselves at 8 AM. The walk into town for dinner, drinks and shopping was just a quick jaunt. It is easy to get in and out of two tour the rest of the island and we always had a covered parking space when we returned in the evening. Management was very communicative and quick to respond to any questions we had. We will definitely be coming back to this gem of a condo!
