This is our 4th stay at Kona Reef resort, each time a different ocean front room. We loved the added amenities of a small cooler, umbrella, books. Fully stocked kitchen. We love this resort
Great value for nicely appointed condo with a beautiful view
We stayed 9 nights. Parking spots are narrow, but we managed. The condo was exactly as pictured and exceeded our expectations: clean, abundant linens, equipped with laundry and kitchen cleaning essentials. The pantry had some supplies; check in before going shopping. King bed was comfortable with additional bedding. AC units in bedroom and living room have their own thermostats and were quiet. Ceiling fans were helpful. Uninterrupted view of the ocean and sunset were breathtaking. Weird quirk: the front door lacks a door knobâawkward to open and close. We were glad we brought a bluetooth speaker to hook up to the TV so we could hear it.The Vacasa support was helpful when the pool key was not where the instructions said it would be, but they helped us find it fairly quickly. About Kona Reef and the immediate area around it are worth noting. The pool at Kona Reef was overall nice, though be careful about the slopes at the sides of the pool and especially on the seats in the jacuzzi. It is easy to slip and bonk your head on the side of the jacuzzi if you arenât careful. BBQs are typically available. Also, next door is the foundation of what appears to be a dismantled condo complex that appears a bit sketchy. Kona Reef is also rather close to the shopping/bars/restaurants just up the road. Very convenient.For the price point, we were very happy with our experience and would highly recommend renting this condo. We would stay here again.
This condo sits right next to the ocean, and itâs lovely to sit on the lanai and have coffee or a meal and watch the waves and the sunriseâor look for whale spouts! We had trouble getting in because we were given the code for the door rather than for the lockbox attached to the screen. Had to call and ask for the lockbox code to lock up after our stay. But the people were helpful and easy to contact. The washing machine is very loud but it works well.
Great spot. Great location. Walking distance to everything. Also great location for runners. Beautiful view. Nice pool. Never had a problem finding loungers. Highly recommend.
We loved this place. The patio faces the ocean just feet away with a great view. Beaches and downtown are in walking distance. The condo has everything we needed. We would stay here again.
The property was as described and meet my expectations. The waterfront location was very nice, I enjoyed watching and listening to the ocean during my entire stay. I would stay here again. The combination for the lock provided was for the actual doorknob lock assembly.
As advertised. Ocean is only 25 yards from the ground floor porch. Though the unit is old it was very clean. Overhead light in living area pull chain was broken so no light. Location is great. I would stay again
This condo was clean and the owner gave easy instructions to locate and how to check in. Loved the view from the patio. We watched the sun go down from there every evening. Would definitely stay here again.
Third visit to Kona and the Kona Reef property. By far this was our favorite unit. Super clean, thoughtful layout and ample supplies. Ground floor a super plus! Parking is easy, close walk to town. Appreciate the communication with Vacasa management on check-in process and checking in on how things are going. Thank you for everything We will return!
Older property but super location and well maintained. Great access to nearby beach and terrific views. Helpful in summer to be on the first floor in Hawaii in units without AC. Great place to stay.
I honestly cannot say enough about my stay at this property. The condo itself was very nice and clean and the property owner was very attentive and communicated everything well. Above all else though is the location as you really couldnât ask for a better location with a perfect view of the sunset every night. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here and I already cannot wait to come back!
Wonderful condo on the ocean. You fall asleep listening to the waves. Condo has everything you need: comfy beds, full kitchen, beautiful lanai to sit on. Did we mention the million dollar view? We saw whales a bunch of times in the distance. Great home base. Must do's: Volcanoes National Park; night snorkel with Manta Rays; Hawaii Botanical Gardens; Black Sand Beach. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.
We liked the location and the Kona Reef property. Relaxing, conveniently located in walking distance to shopping and restaurants. Beautiful ocean views. The bed in the unit was substandardâŠdesperately in need of a mattress upgrade. Both tvs in the unit were small and very cheap with sound so poor it was difficult to hear clearly. We used our laptop when we wanted to watch news or a movie. These issues did not spoil our vacation but we did have higher expectations for the amount we paid.
