quiet complex, great view

The property is exactly as description, clean and with new air con and dishwasher. We didn't use air con, both of living room and bedroom are not hot. I recommend the property for those who stay in Kailua-Kona. But next time I prefer to stay in Waicoloa. <br/>Near the Kona Reef Hotel there is a cafe Huggos On The Rock wit live music (5 minutes walking). The kitchen is closed at 9pm.

The unit was clean and so adorable! The view was AMAZING!! And I loved the little town it was located in - so much to do within walking distance.

Within easy walking distance of plenty of restaurants and bars. A terrace with lovely sea and sunset views. Thoughtfully equipped to include some beach stuff, plastic picnic boxes, lots of kitchen stuff, a washer dryer. Fun decor throughput. The whole complex is well maintained and clean, and the pool was warm, with a decent number of loungers. All In, a good holiday home. To make things even better, a safe would have been nice.

The location of the property is perfect, right at the water front, in the center of action for dining and shopping. The unit was clean but could be more updated.

Owners have thought of every travelers needs. They definitely had you covered with all the amenities (beach supplies, coffee grinder, you name it). Loved it. Nine days of paradise. Almost reach out the balcony to the ocean and sleep to the sounds of waves with tropic winds. How cool is that!

straightforward and easy. Clear instructions for checking in and out.

We loved our stay at the condo. Very private and a perfect view. Very nice to be downtown kialua, within walking distance to most things in town. We would happily stay at Kona Reef again...

Ocean views, sounds and breezes. Clean, well-kept and convenient.

The condo was exactly as described. The unit had a spectacular view! The location was also ideal as it was within walking distance to restaurants and shopping.

The views for this place are amazing!everything that you would need is right here. A very close walk to the main water front, shopping with plenty of great restaurants!

Awsome! This is our second time in the same unit, never disappointed. You will not find a better view, better location or better facilities. We will be back again. Anne is a wonderful hostess. Thank you for sharing your little piece of paradise.

Very easy reservation and payment process, with timely communication. Unit was exactly as advertised, and we really enjoyed the direct ocean front location as well as the short walk to the many bars and restaurants in town.

Great romantic getaway! Clean as was the whole complex. This condo is a very short stroll into town and the farmers market, and close to the water as you could get! Even enjoyed watching yellow tangs swimming in the waves from the lanai.

The management company changed our accommodations and we feel that this was an inferior property. The furniture looked dated and mismatched. Dishwasher and notebinder gunky/rusty. Clean bedroom and bath. Would have preferred no red lace tablecloths and fewer artificial plants. Ate our meals outside on the balcony!

The Kona Reef condo was perfect for our vacation. It was lovely to spend time on the lanai, just looking at the ocean, watching the sunset. The location is great, easy walk to Kailua's shops and restaurants. We also enjoyed the Kona Reef pool, spa and bbq area. I give this vacation rental 5 stars!!<br/><br/>

Had a great time. Condo was clean, comfortable, and very convenient to everything that we needed. I highly recommend this property.

We arrived for a two week stay and found some owner neglect issues. Several light bulbs burned out, dirty floor, broken hinge on one vanity door, missing tv remote in the bedroom, living room tv picture with lines running through it, hole in screen door, broken coffee grinder, top of fridge dirty, bottle caps on floor in corner of living room. Get the picture? We called the property management company rep and he was able to get most of the issues taken care of. The owner installed a new tv and bought a new remote for the bedroom tv but had the gall to tell us we would be charged $10 if the remote could not be found. I was able to locate the missing remote under the bed along with a lot of dirt. Like I said, this unit suffers from owner neglect.

Over all stay was good. Condo could use some upgrades. Tub was clogged had to fix that for the tub to drain. Pull out bed is old and mattress is very uncomfortable had to put it on the floor. Good thing by the time we went to bed we where so exhausted it didn't really matter haha. But always a spectacular view over all would defiantly rent from this owner again.

My stay here was amazing. I stay at the Kona Reef every time I come here. I love the sunsets so I always get the ocean front. I spend almost 80 percent of my time on the lani when I'm at the condo. The ocean breezes are perfect. I stayed during the 4th of July and it was in the high eighty's and did not have the need for the A/C. I like sleeping on the sofa bed for the southing sounds and cool ocean air but I will agree with a review I read earlier, yes that sofa bed needs to be replaced. Still an amazing unit. Has every thing you need. Home away form home. Great complex as well. Nice clean pool. Thank you Annie for accepting me.

We have been lucky enough to have had many stays on the island, this was our least was very sparsely supplied. One tiny hotel bar of soup in the bathroom,a couple quarter filled containers (that didn't work) of hand soaps,couple of towels for a week.i Absolutely bare in the kitchen. and no other amenities. You needed to go out and buy everything right off the start.

Condo had beautiful ocean views from it's large balcony. Convenient parking. Short walk to downtown Kona area with many restaurants and activities.

It was a great condo in a great location. We loved being able to sit out on the lanai and watch the ocean. We saw turtles and dolphins swimming by. It was great! My only complaint would be the condo could use a good deep cleaning. We would stay again.

We had a lovely time; the apartment is very well equipped, including extensive beach gear. The balcony is very private, with a beautiful beach view. We left the screen doors open the whole time we were inside, to enjoy the ocean breeze and surf sounds. All the Kona beachfront restaurants and shops are in easy walking distance. The owners were very attentive and always responded quickly and positively to our inquiries.

Pros: Great location, view from unit directly overlooks the ocean with wonderful sunsets. Nice large lani with big table.<br/>Cons: Tired condo which appears to not have been renovated since it was built, probably in the 70s. The decor is, how shall I say, funky. But I knew that when looking at the posted pictures so nothing to complain about. The owners like red, and chandeliers (there are 4, 2 in the living area, one in the bathroom (!), and one in the bedroom). The unit was overall "surface" clean, but other parts need a thorough cleaning. The tower floor fan intake is coated with dust, and the lampshades/chandeliers are rust coated and could be replaced. Doorknobs are oxidized to green and the dishrack could use a good cleaning. Ate all of our meals outside one the lani.<br/>Other: Bed is king-size, nice, and has a firm mattress.<br/><br/>Given the other properties I stayed at on my visit to Hawaii I would give this 5 stars for location, but only 3 stars overall otherwise as anything higher would be a dis-service to the other properties.
