About this apartment rental

Awe inspiring views and once-in-a-lifetime experiences await you from our newly renovated, ocean/beachfront (direct ocean access) Kona Reef Condo. 2 BR/2BA (sleeps 4-6).

Kona Reef is a highly desired resort for it's walking proximity to Kona town, location right on the water and being adjacent to Honl's beach with water access. Unit A1 is agruable the premier unit of the complex with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, each room having a stunning view out to the beach and ocean. It is beautifully and tastefully remodeled, it has a newly installed split AC system, and it is ground level (so getting out to nature and activities is easy).

There is a parade of activities in the ocean and on shore right out in front of the condo. You can take on the "World Championship Iron Man" cours (yep, we live on it with with swim turn around buoy right in front and the run course along Ali'i Drive. Watching the surfers and boogie boarders is often my choice of morning entertainment, as I watch them in awe, with my cup of "Kona Coffee" in hand, right from the lanai. FYI: The "boogie board" was created by Tom Morey in 1971 and was first used on Honl's beach on the break directly in front of the condo.

Grab a cup or a glass of whatever you like and watch it all. From when the sun first comes up in the morning to it's next "magnificent - Jaw Dropping" end of the day SHOW! The sunsets are never the same and always stunning in their own unique way. Watch the dolphins spin, the whales breach, the outrigger canoe teams practice, adventurers parasailing, turtles in tidepools, Monk seals (if you're really lucky) come up on the beach, and listen to the waves crash, all from your condo. Sound UNREAL? It is really rather "Other Worldly," but it's our front yard and you can be in it! Comfy custom built couch and chairs on the lanai and windows throughout the unit enable you to take in and feel a part of the daily show.

Take part of any of the amazing island tours and wrap up the day with sunset happy hour around the pool with owners blowing the pu' as the sun disappears in the turquoise ocean. Or stay near home and search the tidepools in front for pooka and cowry shells. Honl's beach next door has daily yoga classes and some evenings fire spinning or bubble blowing shows you can watch from the comfort of the unit or venture out to participate.

Walk to the heart of Kailua Kona town, which is only a 5 minute leisurely stroll away. As you go, you can stop for oceanfront dancing at historic Royal Kona Resort, or Huggos on the Rocks where live bands play nightly. Grab street tacos or gelato at Coconut Grove and watch the nightly volleyball competition while listening to the live bands at many of the bars and restaurants along the waterfront.

At the end of the day, take a restorative bath or shower and plunge into the large, cushy master bed with cool AC, or leave the windows open for ocean breezes and the sound of the waves lulling you to sleep.

High end finishings and decor: Two big screen smart TVs with blue-ray player and surround sound. Stereo in the great room. New Split AC with ceinling fans in every room including bathrooms. Full size washer and dryer, stainless steel appliances, quartzite countertops, custom cabinetry with soft closing drawers, mood lighting and live edge epoxy dining table. Custom art and decor throughout including a turtle family swimming through the master shower.

For comfort: coffee maker, blender, microwave, toaster oven, food processor, super quiet dishwasher, glass/flat top stove/oven, dishes, pots, pans, mugs, glasses (additional plastic versions of each for taking to the pool) and all typical kitchen utensils. Blow dryer, shampoo and liquid soap in the bathrooms. Iron and ironing board.

For play: Beach chairs, beach towels, beach umbrella, snorkel sets, pool noodles and chair umbrellas.

For safety and security: outdoor cameras are present at the front door and on the back lanai.

We try to think of you and have provided many of the things that you will need during your stay here on this incredible island.

This property was perfect for our family vacation. It was clean, well appointed and a wonderful location with amazing views. We loved waking up to breakfast watching the waves crash. The location right next to a beach and walkable to Kona restaurants and shopping made for a convenient and fun trip. The pool isn’t huge, but very well kept and perfect for our two elementary aged kids to frolic in. The two bedrooms and two bathrooms of the condo plus beautiful kitchen and eating/living area was perfect. We hope to stay here again in future!

We have stayed at Kona reef several times, but this is the first time we have stayed in this unit. The views are spectacular not to mention this unit is a gem. The unit is stocked with anything you could possibly need. The kitchen is conveniently stocked with all necessities for cooking. Going to the beach is a breeze with all the provided amenities of beach, chairs, boogie boards, etc. The condo is absolutely beautifully maintained and aesthetically decorated. We will most definitely becoming back for our next trip.

Super happy with our choice to stay here! Place itself is great! Renovated kitchen and living area looks nice and had space for the 4 of us to separate a bit from each other, with lots of windows and natural light because corner unit. Amenities are plentiful. We planned to, but never made it to the pool since we were out on excursions or preferred to sit on patio and watch the waves or sit in the sun. Location was great for walking to get Acai bowls for brunch, Snorkel Bob's rentals, shopping, or dinner. Only used car for excursions. Parking in garage kept car cool and secure. Side windows of condo face Honl's Beach with activities to participate in or watch, such as yoga, boarding competitions, and regular beach activities. You can also watch the waves, boarders, and surfers out front. We didn't let our inexperienced son board in that area because of all the rocks under water, but it was an almost constant activity of locals riding the waves all day and evening. The waves themselves were wonderful to watch and listen to. The sunsets from the patio were also beautiful. Communications were clear and everything was great, didn't need to contact owners/management for anything. We stayed in 3 condos and this place was all of our favorites. Being right on the water, next to an active beach, and walking distance to restaurants and shopping added to the fun of our visit. I highly recommend!
