Pros. Very nice property in a great location. Quick walking distance into downtown Kona. Management team is very helpful and responds to questions quickly. Check in was super easy. Cons. Parking spots are tight. During the day parking is easy but if you come back in the evening you have to find street parking due to no spots left. Check fees!! We ended up paying a lot of money in taxes and fees for our 10 day stay. They only supply 3 days of toilet paper, thought that was odd. Overall great location and property. Not sure if I would be able to rebook due to fees but that may be the case other properties too. I will check in the future.

The unit is well maintained and appointed. The location is walking distance to town and shops, the pool and the beach. What more could you want? How about a killer view of the ocean and being able to watch the whales frolic as you enjoy cocktails! Everything was great. We would highly recommend.

The property was excellent. The views from the Lanai areas good as you can get on the island. We saw whales breaching nearly every day and the sunsets were spectacular. The complex is very well maintained with a nice pool and hot tub. It doesn't get any better than this.

Lovely place. Ideal location.

This condo was amazing. The view, cleanliness, amenities and all of the comforts of home, were 2nd to none. Communication was spot on as we were flying Alaska Air and didn't know if flight would be canceled, delayed, etc. None of that happened but was nice to have prompt response with questions. I can't say enough about this place and the people managing it! Thank you all so much!

We loved our stay. It was clean and very comfortable. All amenities provided. Extra beach chairs, beach towels and even sunscreen. It was wonderful to sit out on the lanai every morning and drink our coffee that they left for us.

We loved everything about this condo - location, accoutrements, comfort, view, etc. The location of the property is perfect with great access to Kona and the surrounding area. Walking distance to a great variety of restaurants and bars along the waterfront. Plus, we LOVED the ground floor, corner/end unit location on the water with a sunset view! Privacy plus quick and easy access to the complex, pool, parking and walk to town. Several local beaches with great swimming and/or snorkeling within 10-30 minutes' drive. The unit is one of the most thoroughly outfitted condos that we've ever rented - kitchenware, beachware, towels, coolers, reference books, binoculars, etc. We had everything we needed for our first visit to The Big Island. Immediate response on any questions. Beds were comfortable and the space was roomy and comfortable. Being 15 feet from the ocean was a bonus! Beautiful sunsets and the sound of crashing waves around the clock. I would stay here again.

We had an extraordinary stay at Kona Reef D8. There were three of us, & we spent 6 glorious days & nights. The condo had everything we needed-a full assortment of glasses, coffee cups, dishes, & cookware. Spices, cooking oil-you name it. A cooler for day trips, reusable bags for shopping & snacks, towels, beach chairs, boogie boards, aloe vera gel for my sunburn. Our favorite thing to do every day was sit on the lanai in the morning & evening, watching all there was to see-a variety of birds, the surf, cruise ships, unbelievable views & colors of the sky. We also saw women swimming in preparation for Ironman. We absolutely loved our accommodations.

Amazing spot loved it. Everything was thought about all the water toys and kitchen supplies. Walking distance to everything.

Clean and bright, and the perfect configuration for our family - our two young adult daughters shared the room with two twin beds. Lots of pool/beach items available to use. There are a few minor spots that could use some updating/small repairs, but overall this place is just what you see in the pictures. This first-level corner spot is nice. Of the two places we stayed on the Big Island of Hawai'i, this was the best location. If we had to do it over again, we would stay here longer and do day trips to the destinations that are a little closer to the Hilo side. Even though we stayed in a beautiful home on the East side, it was FAR from everything. This place, on the other hand, is walkable to town and within reasonable driving distance to many other island attractions.

Clean space, easy check-in check-out, and the view was gorgeous.

The location is a dream- you are steps away from the ocean and can hear it. Love the floor to ceiling windows! The condo itself is spacious, clean and very well stocked. Besides the basics, we appreciated the beach towels, cooler and other beach items; and the local treats! (thank you!) We really appreciated the responsiveness of the management company, who was always very prompt in replying and courteous. Parking was very easy. We are so happy that we found you and can't wait to come back!!!

Our family had the most incredible time at this condo. The view was absolutely beautiful and we watched the spectacular sunset every night from our lanai. The condo was very clean and well stocked with everything we needed including extra towels, beach chairs, cooler, etc. The location was perfect to walk to restaurants, shops, and the local farmer’s market. This was definitely the perfect place to stay and we will certainly be back in the future.

We loved staying at Kona Reef!! Great location!! The views cannot be beat!! The kitchen was well stocked, organized and clean. The entire condo was clean. We would stay here again!!!

Wonderful location and accommodations!

This condo was everything advertised and more! Lovely location right on the waterfront. Minutes walk from the shops. There were so many “extras” in the home from the spices to the beach equipment and sunscreen to the toiletries. Wow! We were impressed and happy. Thank you for a wonderful stay in Kona!

Best plce to view the sunset! Fully stocked with things like binoculars. Appreciated.

The condo was very clean and the kitchen was well equiped. The location was a perfect launching off point for many activities in the area (e.g., National Historical Sites, beaches, restaurants, and downtown Kailua Kona). Given that we had three adults staying in the unit, we appreciated having two bedrooms and full baths. Our favorite part of this condo was the lania and ocean front views, which were a fantastic place for morning coffee and dinners! In addition, we appreciated the welcome gifts provided, the cooler, and beach chairs. The cooler and chairs were great to have on day trips around the area. We would definitely stay here again and recomend this unit.

This is a wonderful condo! Great location and beautiful view! We enjoyed spending time on the lanai watching the ocean. The condo had lots of extra amenities which we appreciated - spices, many items for water sports and play, beach umbrella, lawn chairs, etc. The manager was very helpful and gracious. We really liked this condo and hope to go back there next year.

This condo was just as advertised. The location was great. The condo was very well equipped and large enough to accommodate our family. The property as a whole was definitely older and could use some renovations however that didn't affect our stay at all. Our kids loved exploring the rocks and the beach.

Loved our condo. Very clean . Everything we needed in kitchen. Fabulous view. Quiet too.

This is the best suite in this building. It is equipped with everything you could possibly want to make your holiday enjoyable - from guide books to beach gear. Everything was clean and neat. We had our whole family (9 people, including an infant) staying in the building, but our suite quickly ended up being the go-to location for meals and hanging out. Meals right at the waterfront were a treat! Highly recommended and we would choose this suite again in a minute.

This was our 2nd time staying in D8 and it didn't disappoint! Great location, close to town, view can't be beat. The A/C is a great addition. Everything you needed was provided in the unit. We will be back!

Amazing views and everything included to take for a day exploring the island. Very clean and quick walk to restaurants and shops. Would love to stay here again!

Our stay here was even better than we had hoped. We loved our location! We sat on the lanai in the morning, having coffee while watching surfers in front of our condo. The condo had everything we needed and the location was walking distance to restaurants, shops and a great farmer’s market. In the evening, we enjoyed beautiful sunsets! It was hard to leave and we would love to visit again!

The condo was as advertised. Walking distance to town, steps from the ocean, and well stocked with everything that was needed. AC worked great in the living room and both bedrooms. Would stay here again!

Great view of ocean and close to town.

We had a great stay! Location was perfect and condo was stocked with everything we needed including beach gear!

Great location and beautiful views! Accommodations exceeded expectations.

Oh my goodness, what a tremendous property! To start it is literally 30 steps from the tide pools and ocean. The covered patio allows you to sit outside and enjoy the ocean without being out in the sun. You can also close the patio doors or just the screen door and enjoy the ocean view sounds from inside the amply air conditioned condo. I could write such an extensive, glowing review about this place, but let me provide the highlights. * In a town where parking can be difficult, the property is a 5 minute walk from the shops and eateries' * The place was clean, quiet. on the first floor, and complete with all of the requisite amenities. *The washer/dryer allowed us to pack lightly. *They provided cleaning supplies, additional trash bags, laundry supplies, and beach implements (towels, chairs, snorkel gear) *Televisions in each room The place is first rate from top to bottom. From the proximity to the beach, local shops, restaurants to the overall cleanliness and convenience of the condo, we were absolutely thrilled with our stay there. We enthusiastically endorse this property! We'll be back!

We always stay at the Kona Reef for its fantastic location and view. Condo was perfectly lovely in every way.

Great place in central location! Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay! Thank you!
