The location, the view and the amenities are a amazing! But the only reason I hesitate to put the 5 star is because some of the appliances were old and the dishwasher was broken, it does need a revamp in some of the pans, kitchen utensils, fans and lighting fixtures.But if you aren’t staying inside too long is a great place!
Great condo, for us and our two grown boys and their girlfriends. The location is great for walking into town, great patio to watch the sunset and totally enjoyed the pool/hot tub/grill area.
Kona Reef was the perfect accommodation for my family: myself, spouse and 3 adult women, The view is fantastic.
Sunsets and morning coffee was beautiful. The condo is easy walk to shops and restaurants. Condo was clean, well appointed and very conferrable.
Location was great and the view breathtaking. Was fantastic to have provided beach supplies (chairs, umbrellas, towels, snorkel equipment, sand Mattes) for beach/pool days.
Condo was spacious. Best attribute was large porch overlooking the pacific and hearing the waves 24/7. Condo is dated and appliances are old. and was sort of dark inside. Great location and easy walk to dozens of shops, restaurants, and bars. 15 minutes from the airport. The location could not be any better.
Beautiful home on ocean, walking distance to shops and restaurants
3 bed condo right on the ocean with huge sliding glass doors that open up the whole living room and dining to the fresh ocean breezes. Highly recommend
We had a wonderful time. Everything we planned exceed our expectations. Beautiful location and the condo couldn't have been more perfect. Great location for walking downtown. Will definitely recommend and hopefully return one day to enjoy again. Mahalo!!
Roomy condo had everything we needed. Amazing view, great location, comfortable inside and out on the lanai. Really really pleased. Even a nice desk if you HAD to work. Good beach accessories stashed in the closet: noodles, mats, chairs, boards, umbrella, cooler, fins and goggles too. I should re-book for next year now that I think about it...

The positives: Beach view was great. Able to see sunset each night, listen to waves... Location also great with access to activities, food, shopping, etc. Improvement opportunities: Clearer parking instructions sent with access. We arrived late. Visable lot full. Parking garage had permit parking only. Was only after we went into property did we see parking passes. But when used were given warning ticket we used expired passes. Property manager quickly fixed next day. Better maintenance to bathrooms. When my son took shower first night, shower barely drained in one of bathrooms. Property manager quickly responded with drano. Took twice to unblock.Dishwasher didn't work. Property manager responded that they would send maintenance but never did. There was a lot of stains in carpets. It's understandable rental properties
The condo has a wonderful lanai and view of the ocean. Loved hearing the ocean all night. There are several light switches that dont operate anything and several lamps/lights that dont work off a switch. The AC in the dining room wasnt working in the dinning room and we had a repair guy in the unit for several hours and it couldn't be fixed. We also had the water shut off for an entire day. The pool is nice. Parts of it are dated but overall its a clean, quiet nice place to stay. The lanai is worth staying here for. The unit was stocked with books, family games, beach necessities etc. The kitchen is very nicely stocked. The unit is a nice place to stay and I would absolutely stay again.

Beautiful location. Needs an update and cleaning
This property needs an a really good cleaning and update. Carpets are very very dirty. Outlets in two of the bathrooms do not work. Other things were also broken-lights and blinds. Home is dark at night time. Dining fan can not be turned on without the light and the light and fan cause a strobe light effect which is not good on the eyes. AC was broken -property managment was help with this issue and gave us a discount. Could not find parking pass for two days. The patio and view is beautiful and window view of the ocean is also nice. Management company is good to work with.
We stayed for 4 nights the first week of August with our two children (11 & 18) and my parents. The kitchen and dining room were open and spacious (may need a bigger couch). The living/ dining area gives panoramic ocean views. THIS VIEW is stunning. The waves crash directly in front of you. The grounds were green and lush. The outdoor lanai seating was sturdy and relaxing. Foil and spices were provided along with zip locks, 2 rolls of paper towels, and grilling pans. Dishwashing liquid and pods available. *A few things that could be approved upon---There could have been a few more towels (bath and pool/beach towels) provided as we had to wash towels twice while we were there in a 4 day period.Carpets were older and had some staining/wear. AC is governed and will not go below 68/70. There is no ac vent/return in the bedroom directly off the kitchen/entry door. There were two auscultating fans provided that helped but didn't cool to our normal liking. It was however AUGUST. The proximity to Kona town is unmatched. You can walk to shops & restaurants within 10 minutes.Overall, we LOVED this rental. My parents visit Kona frequently and normally stay at the Royal Kona Resort (which is directly beside this condo) and have decided they would like to stay here from now on. Thank you for the memories!
Fabulous location, incredible view of ocean and wildlife. Walking distance to everything! Condo was perfect with the exception of sub par air conditioning. First day was the worst as it was really hot in the unit. If you need really cool AC this may not be the spot for you. We had a fabulous time!

Great Location
You are paying for the view and location. Honestly they can’t be beat. Unfortunately that is about where it ends.
Pros:Location, view and size
Cons: Condo needs maintenance and up keep. The price you pay to stay in this unit there should be AC mini splits in the other 2 bedrooms. Condo has a musty smell in all rooms. Cushions on the furniture shouldn’t be ripped and the (white) carpet is stained in multiple areas and has pieces of wood under the area rugs where people in our party tripped but as stated before if you’re looking for a spacious unit close to things and a view it does have it.

Family Vacation
The overall stay was good, but we did have some issues during our stay. The hot water went out, but that was fixed within a few hours. The microwave would work intermittently and that was crucial for feeding the 1 and 4 year olds! We were told that someone would come to fix it, but the microwave remained broken throughout our stay. There was no additional effort made to fix the microwave during our stay.
As for the condo itself, The location is excellent! The view is amazing! But, we paid A LOT OF MONEY to stay here so I expect everything to be in working order. Also, when you walk into the condo there is a damp, musty smell that is in the carpets and the bedrooms. The ocean mist has definitely settled in!
Convenient location, enjoyed many activities around Kona, walkable to town. Several great snorkeling beaches in the area. Easily accommodated 6 adults, enjoyed the lanai and views every morning and evening! The pool /hot tub are great. The only issues is the carpet is stained in several spots, some outlets don’t work, and the dishwasher smells musty. But that being said, I would definitely book again. Location made everyone in our group happy!
Everything really was perfect, especially the location. We walked to everything, including our luau, the farmers market, local entertainment, and food. The view from the balcony was spectacular with not only beautiful rocks and water, but also lots of people on boogie boards and surfboards in the water. I really can’t recommend this place highly enough.
We reported some issues with condo (many light bulbs out and 2 significant power outlets not working) and neither problem was addressed. For the price point, this is very disappointing.
If you book this place it is for the view. You don’t get closer to the ocean. Location is great. Quiet, yet you are close enough to walk to shops and restaurants.For the price you pay, there are no working power outlets in the bathrooms. Half of the lights in the unit do not work. After renting I see this was commented in another review months ago. I brought it to management attention. I’m sure nothing has been addressed. With the amazing view I could deal with sitting in the dark. My wife sure would of like to be able to do her hair in the bathroom though.

The location was fantastic. The view spectacular. There were stains all over the carpet, poor lighting, problems with some of the electrical outlets not working in the bathrooms. I know they’re endemic in Hawaii, but I found a roach in one of the bathrooms. The air conditioning was not sufficient for the size of the condo. It was generally rundown, needed updating and for what we paid per night for the condo I would’ve expected that it would already been done and updated.
