Besides excellent accommodations, beyond our expectations, surf was up so we had a great show of surfing from the lanai! Hoping for a replay next year :)
The condo was super clean, modern , well appointed! We liked everything about it! The bed was very comfortable!! The only negative of the entire experience was the adjacent torn down building next to the complex. But nothing the owner can do about that. We would definitely stay there again.
We loved our stay at Kona Reef Resort-Condo F-16. Sue was a great host. This little gem was very clean, fully stocked with all kinds of thoughtful details. The condo has a very comfortable bed and the bath has a luxurious rain shower. The kitchen had all accessories needed to easily prepare breakfast or a dinner before settling onto the lanai for a sunset evening. Great location with easy access to the airport, local shops, farmerâs markets, big box stores like Costco, Safeway, Walmart and Target. Perfect location for awesome day trips to Volcano National Park, Hilo waterfalls, Hilo Botanical Gardens and many many beaches. The Condo has tons of beach toys; sand chairs, cooler, umbrella etc etc. We truly had two weeks in paradise!
This VRBO was top notch! The owners have done an amazing job ensuring a well-appointed unit. We had everything we needed from a Ninja blender to beach chairs and beach toys! It was a great week!
The property is very well maintained and though built in the 80âs, every bit of it is kept clean and maintained to current standards. Sueâs place is clean, modernized, with WiFi, full sized washer/dryer, full sized kitchen with everything needed to cook and dine at the condo ( saving lots of by not eating out as much). Loved the location. Away from the noise of town but very easy walking distance. The views of the ocean and reef waves were spectacular. We saw whales and Spinner dolphins almost daily. Watching the sunset each night from the grassy area in front of the resort was a sight to be treasured. Highly recommend the Starfish (Sueâs condo) BTW, her communications with us were outstanding!
Kona Reef is one of our favorite places to stay in Kona. Location is within walking distance of shopping and places to eat.
This particular condo has a good view of the waves and the ocean. The owners have nicely remodeled the entire unit. Itâs open and bright. The kitchen is well stocked.
Everything was as described. Except the view. It changes every night and that keeps me coming back! Enjoy it
This is a great condo! Clean, spacious unit. Well stocked kitchen, comfy bed and beautiful lanai. The pool area is clean and property is well cared for. Sunsets are stunning every single night We loved the location and all the amenities of the condo, would totally recommend a stay here.
Remarkable Condo!!! Amazing location and wonderful amenities. Walking distance to shops, dining and beaches. Condo was immaculate with beautiful ocean and sunset views, upgraded appliances and very comfortable. Had everything we needed with added bonus of beach chairs, cooler and accessories. Pool was beautiful with lots of lounge chairs and BBQ area. Property was very well maintained, with ample parking. Would definitely stay again and recommend this unit to anyone wanting to stay on the Big Island.
This remodeled condo is very clean with very comfortable furniture and bedding. The kitchen is well stocked to cook meals and there is a great box of beach supplies on the lanai. We have stayed at the Kona Reef multiple times and this is my new favorite unit!
We really enjoyed our stay at this conveniently located property in Kona. The unit itself was impeccably clean, provided everything we needed including beach, chairs, umbrella, and snorkel equipment. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need. Honestly, you canât go wrong here.
We LOVED our stay in this condo. It was beautifully decorated and very comfortable for our week stay in Kona! Close to town so you can walk if youâd like. Well stocked kitchen. Pool was fabulous. Comfortable furniture and bed! Easy to get in and of area! Would definitely stay here again and recommend to all!!
The condo was exactly as described and more. Communication was great, the amenities in the condo were great, and we loved exploring the island with this as a home base. If we visited again, weâd definitely look for this property!
Well situated and stocked property! The neighborhood is highly walkable to get to shops and restaurants in the historic Kailua Village. There's also public beach access directly next door for swimmers and surfers. If you prefer, bike rentals are available on the street next to the Royal Kona Resort. The local Farmers and Craft Market is also within walking distance Wed-Sun.
Nice condo that has been updated. Very clean and had everything we needed. Comfortable bed. Just as advertised. Building is older but still nice. Beautiful view of the ocean but other building blocks the view of the sunset from balcony. Could see it great down by the pool. Fun to watch the surfers in the morning. My only issue was furniture on the balcony was a high top table/chairs. We couldn't sit out there because of accessibility issue that prevented me from getting into a chair. Made dining in the condo difficult. The table/chairs was very nice just not accessible.
The location is great, just a 10 minute walk into town. The condo was very clean, which was what was most important to me. The only downsides were there was no hand soap, we were unable to figure out the TV in the bedroom, and the couch could use a steam clean. Honestly, it was a great stay. These things are minor, I only mention it so that the next guests have everything they need.
