Oceanview 1BR- Top Floor Elevator access - see video tour -WiFi and free calling

This is a top floor oceanview unit with an excellent ocean view and overlooks the pool area. It is one of many of the nicer units we own or manage, including two bedroom ocean front units, 1 bedroom ocean front units, and 1 bedroom ocean view units. It is fully equipped for a comfortable stay of several days to a month or more. Be sure to look at the video tour. The link to the video is the arrow or partial image to the left of the main picture above. The video gives a complete tour, and shows how nice this condo is. If this one is not available for the dates you need, one of our others probably is,since we have 12 one bedroom ocean view units, 6 one bedroom ocean front units, and 4 two bedroom ocean front units available, all listed on VRBO.

The Kona Reef is only 1 1/2 blocks to town, so you don't have to drive every time you want to go to a restaurant or shop. It is the ideal location in Kona, and moderately priced to fit your budget.

The kitchen is fully equipped with everything for a comfortable stay, and has all the appliances and small appliances you could want.

The bedroom is roomy, as is the living and dining area. There is a washer and dryer right in the unit. Free long distance to the US mainland and Canada is included, and free WiFi is also provided.

We are happy to help you with any questions. Feel free to contact us. We look forward to your stay.

What a fabulous place and spectacular views. Had everything we needed for our stay. Had all amenities from toiletries, dishes, cookware (altho we didn’t cook). Bed was comfortable. Had everything we needed for the pool and beach: towels, chairs, snorkel equipment cooler tho we had our own. Pool area was great, clean and well maintained. The complex was quiet. Location was great- walking distance to Kailua Kona downtown all shops and restaurants and centrally located for all of our day trips. There was ample parking: surface or garage. Our host was prompt in answering a few questions before we got there. Just the Perfect size for 2, altho it could sleep 4. Would highly recommend this condo and would go back. Thank you for a wonderful and relaxing vacation.

Amazing Island! Unit needs improvement

Big Island is an amazing island. My husband and I have been to all the islands and we actually think that this is the best of all of them. Less expensive. Affordable. Sooo calm. We love the location of this condo, it has an amazing view of the ocean. What you see in the picture is 100% accurate of what you’ll expect in person. The downside is we didn’t like the unit so much. It highly needs improvement, it’s old and needs cleanliness. If you’re in a low budget and looking for something last minute, this is the place. My husband and I chose this unit because we were literally booking last minute and I grabbed this so quick and plus it’s inexpensive. However, when we got to the unit, we feel we should’ve booked somewhere else. There’s bugs, and there’s cockroach as well in our unit. I freaked out! It was big and on the wall! I reached out to our host and Ken responds very well and he’s on top of it. Within minutes, the maintenance guy came and take care of the pest. Ken is a very good host!!! He’s the best! The only thing is the unit needs to be properly cleaned and maybe change a lot of things inside. When we came, there’s a dead bug laying in our bathroom and that right away is a disappointment, but overall, our stay was well accommodated. Great view!! Great location, super close to downtown. We walked to go shopping, eat and have dinner, etc. Plus, Magic Sands Beach is also super close here, we’re able to enjoy the beach too without driving far!

Nice Unit

Pros:-Location, location, location…quick walk to town and the complex has all the amenities needed.-Lots of cabinet space in the kitchen and bathroom.-Included all of the basics needed for indoor and outdoor cooking along with plates/containers, etc.Cons:-The unit has A/C but only in the living room. You need to run fans in the bedroom to keep it semi-comfortable.-The unit has a king size bed but it is rickety and un-comfortable.-There are NO beach chairs/umbrellas to use so you need to spend another 100 for those.-It supposedly has cable TV but couldn’t get the remote control to actually work. (Zero directions)-Checkout is actually 10:00a even though the directions state 10:30a

Nice time.

We had a nice time and this was a comfortable place to stay. Could use a bit of a refresh but nothing major. It was my first time staying in Kailua-Kona and it is a bit of a zoo for our taste. Next time I will probably look for a place outside the core area. Did have a nice visit overall, went for a great hike on the Jurassic Trail, a beautiful tropical forest loop of about 3.5 miles. Warning though, lots of rocks and roots so poles recommended for older hikers

Unit F25

Good furniture, comfortable bed with bed linens new enough to fit bed.Negatives….abysmal lighting in kitchen, had to add table lamp to top of fridge.Kitchen faucet threatened to come off unless positioned just right. Needed more flatware and a few extra mugs…..not vital, but could be improved on.saucepans in good condition.Towel rail in bathroom screwed into hollow door so it fell off. Nice to have a bath tub but no plug and grungy looking with mildew, not inducive to sitting in tub.Large storage closet badly in need of clearing out as it was crammed full of old beach gear. High window in bedroom needed blackout shades as outside light from external path meant room was still in half light at nights. All these are easily remedied

Location perfect, but totally disappointed in unit

Bathroom has cracked tiles, bathtub moldy, kitchen sink faucet had to be repeatedly turned off or it just ran, cookware worn out, ac only in living room,not bedroom. All beach chairs full of rust. Living room shades wouldn't close all the way due to rust built up on rail, front door screen door knob fell off in our hand, pool and bar b q and view were excellent. So very disappointed. Feel we should get some sort of refund. Not to mention cable tv was terrible.

Great location

Hello, we recently spent a week at this unit. Mostly appointed as advertised. Unit is quite except for street and road noise from the bedroom as you'll probably want the windows open. The Air conditioning system in lacking and while the unit is clean on the surface it could use a real deep clean, carpet picture frames, window screens and bath fan were kind of gross. Location is great as you can walk to town.

This is second time we’ve enjoyed a staycation here. Some elements of the condo are tired, but we’ve noticed a few upgrades since last time. New refrigerator, Spectrum Wi-Fi & TV package recently installed & kitchen organized nicely. The pool area is always pristine and the view is spectacular. We always enjoy our meals on the lanai.
