Kona Reef Beachfront / Top Floor / Air Con / Free WiFi / Walk to Town

You're gonna love your Kona Reef Beachfront getaway. Imagine the big smile on your face when you walk through the door of this freshly renovated, top-floor, jewel of a condo... a place you get to call your Kailua-Kona "home" away from home.

What's not to love? You can enjoy the "local-style" ambience and convenience of the in-town walk-to-everything location, while being in an oceanfront complex with a great ocean view. The public beach right next door is super convenient for swimming, snorkeling and surfing. From sunbathers to yoga classes, to picnics and people-watching, the view from your top-floor lanai provides a different beach scene every day.

You'll be charmed by the beachy, eclectic, tropical decor -- a blend of retro "Hawaiiana" with a touch of understated whimsy. Enjoy the top-quality finishes, selected to convey a simple warmth as well as durability. Split-system Air Conditioning installed Dec. 2020 keeps both living room and bedroom cool. The expanded kitchen features bamboo cabinets, white "cloud-like" quartz countertop, art glass backsplash, and shell mosaic pendant lighting. The bathroom was inspired by the colors of sand and sea, and has a custom walk-in shower that features a rain head, bamboo glass panel and handy corner seat. Sturdy bamboo-pattern vinyl flooring ties everything together to complete the natural ambience. Your top-floor lanai is the perfect place to enjoy a relaxing breakfast, or watch the waves and beach activities. You might be inspired to head on down to the beach, where you can picnic, wade, swim, snorkel or maybe even join a yoga class. The condo comes equipped with back-pack style beach chairs, boogie boards, snorkel gear, beach towels and more for your convenience.

You will also enjoy the convenience of:
o FREE password-protected, high speed WIFI signal
o Digital Cable TV package
o In-unit front-loading washer and dryer
o Elevator access from parking garage to the patio level. (You have to walk several paces from the elevator, then up 8 stairs to the condo level. If you require "no stairs", unfortunately, my condo is not a good choice for you).

But as much as you will enjoy the amenities of the condo, (... did I mention the super-comfy, firm memory-foam, gel-top king-size mattress?...) you didn't come all the way to Kona to stay indoors! There is so much to do and see. You'll want to spend some of your time chillin' at the oceanfront swimming pool. We have one of the nicest pool/recreation areas in town--with plenty of lounge chairs, whirlpool spa, barbecues and shady pavilion.

Kona Reef has one of the most convenient locations on the Kona Coast, and is just a short walk to shopping, restaurants, bars and entertainment.

It is a 5 to 10 minute walk to:
o Honl’s Beach (right next door!)
o Luau at the Royal Kona Resort
o Bars and restaurants
o Shopping
o Bicycles for rent
o Coffee Shops
And just a few more minutes to:
o Farmer’s Market
o Art Galleries
o Library
o More shops and restaurants
o Churches
o Hulihee Palace

If you are the adventurous type, you will want to do some sight-seeing and exploring. There is so much to choose from:
o Snorkeling
o SCUBA
o Golf
o Zip Line
o Hiking
o Deep Sea Fishing
o Helicopter Tours
o Sailing
o Stand Up Paddle (SUP)
o Surfing
o Parasailing
o Pu'u Honua (City of Refuge) National Park
o Waterfalls
o Botanical Gardens
o Luau
o Coffee Tasting
o Farm Tours (Coffee, Chocolate, Vanilla...YUM!)
o and more!

Whatever your preference, the Big Island offers plenty of fun in the sun, and you couldn't pick a better home base than this lovely top floor condo at Kona Reef.

This is more than a hotel room… it's my downtown oceanfront getaway, and I like nothing better than staying at the unit when it is not booked. My home is your home, and I love it when guests tell me a little about themselves when making a booking request.

The calendar allows reservation requests up to 9 months in advance. If your travel plans are further in the future, I can open up some dates for you... Just click on the "Ask Owner a Question" link!

Thanks for looking and thanks for booking!

About the Air Conditioning:
2-unit split system installed December 2020 for your creature comfort! There is a wall unit in the living room and another one in the bedroom. Super quiet! There are also ceiling fans and standing fans if you prefer to experience the ambient temperatures. It's all about what you're used to. ALSO: Due to the high cost of electricity in Hawaii, when you leave the apartment for extended periods of time, turning off the AC is greatly appreciated.

Very Nice

The location to town is wonderful. The complex is older but the owners have done an amazing job updating the unit. We did not use any amenities but they seemed nice and everything was in good shape. Getting there at night it was confusing figuring out where to park and where the unit was but we figured it out. The park next door is interesing to observe but we never had time to check it out.

Paradise on the Big Island

Outstanding property and thoroughly enjoyable stay, as location to Kailua-Kona and ocean/beach view was stellar. Condo amenities included an extremely well equipped kitchen, convenient laundry area (stacked washer/dryer), and a well designed walk-in shower and bathroom. Decor throughout was visually pleasing, and every room was stocked with an abundance of essentials. Would definitely stay here again!!!
