About this condorental
Located in Holualoa, this attractive condo for $287 per night is a fantastic option for your next trip. 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. If you would like to receive a quote for your travel dates without having to "Book Now", just click on the "Contact Host" link and make an inquiry! 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 Bluetooth Sound Bar 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.

We spent a wonderful two weeks. The owner has not missed any details in her guidebook. The location is within walking distance to shopping and restaurants so you don't worry about finding a parking place. The condo is well stocked with anything you would need for a day at the beach. Morning coffee on the lanai watching the surf roll in is a great way to start your day. The two air'-conditioning units worked very well. You can not go wrong staying here.

We stayed at Kona Reef during the Ironman World Championships and absolutely loved this condo! It was clean, comfortable and in the absolute PERFECT location. We walked to town many times per day and my husband loved spending his time on the lanai watching the surfers. We would absolutely stay here again! Thank you, thank you for your hospitality!!
5.0
The condo was decorated as casual coastal which was perfect for us. There were many thoughtful items included such as boogie boards and a folding drying rack we could hang our swimsuits on, sunscreen, and sunburn gel. The washer and dryer were invaluable as we packed light and used the beach towels often! The community pool area was family friendly and the ocean front lawn was nice to watch the sunset from.
5.0
We really enjoyed our stay in this unit. The location is great with just a short walk to downtown Kona, and an easy drive to beaches and snorkeling sites south of Kona. The kitchen is well stocked with spices and oils and things like plastic wrap, utensils, pots/pans, etc which made it easy to cook on a few of the evenings during our stay. Also, the unit had beach chairs, beach towels, a cooler, beach umbrella, snorkel gear, etc which was great to have when going to hang out at the beach. The lanai overlooks the small beach and ocean just to the south. Also nice that they bedroom had a separate AC unit rather than just a single unit in the main living area. It feels like the unit was recently renovated as the counters, bathroom, and plumbing fixtures seemed updated. Overall a great unit and we would definitely stay here again.

Here is what I loved: OH MY GOSH! there was everything. I totally overpacked. There was shampoo/ conditioner/laundry soap/ beach towels, shoes, hat, beach chairs, along with a most homey, comfortable home to stay in. Loved the location; right on a beach (we saw turtles in the water), close enough to walk to town, yet quiet area. Great communication from Marni. I would come back!!

Marni's unit doesn't miss a beat. Beautiful unit true to photos. All guest needs covered including all the beach gear, multi USB ports on both nightstands, fully stocked kitchen including Tupperware, paper products. A full Brita pitcher waiting in fridge! Some appliances and all switches labeled too.
We've stayed at Kona Reef a few times. We were excited to see air conditioning was added to both the living room and bedroom. But you know what? We didn't need it! Ceiling fans, lanai screen and fan worked perfectly! Most comfortable stay.
Informative guest book, too, about unit and area restaurant updates.
Thank you for a lovely stay. It was great to return! Favorited ❤️for our next Kona stay.

Marni’s place is wonderful.
She was easy to communicate with. The condo is in a great location right on the beach and at the south end of the historic village. The lodging was clean, comfortable and attractive. Everything there you need: dishes, cups and glasses, kitchen ware, large coffee pot, large fridge, towels, comfortable bed, nice furniture, nice TV. Wifi was excellent. Comfortable lanai perfect for morning coffee or winding down at night. Fins, snorkels, ice chest, beach towels. She has thought of everything. Perfect headquarters to explore and enjoy the Big Island.
Next time we come, we will stay here.

Everything as advertised! Great location in Kona. Many restaurants within a 5 minute walk. We had a great time exploring the island all day and spending the evenings watching the sunset from the open air seating at many of the restaurants.
Would love to come back and stay here again!

We were visiting Kona for the first time. The condo was very nice and comfortable. Fully equipped with everything you could need. Beautiful view of the ocean. Marni was easy to communicate with and answered questions quickly. The condo was on the south end of the main street along the beach. Far enough not to hear all the bar music at night but plenty close to walk to it if we wanted. Road noise can get a little loud but wasn’t too bothersome. Overall it was a very pleasant stay.

This being our 24th Kona trip, we know the drill. B24 met and exceeded our expectations: Clean, nice amenities and upgrades and a very responsive manager.
We already booked another stay.
5.0
The location is fantastic! Close enough to walk but far enough that you don’t feel like you’re in the thick of the town and tourists.
Head out to the pool to watch the sunset and hear some residents blow conch shells.
The place itself is super comfortable for two people and Marni is an awesome host!
5.0
We loved staying here. The view of the ocean and sound of the waves was fantastic. As a bonus, we overlooked Honl Park where every day there was yoga, people playing in the surf, boogie boarders, kids having fun and colorful people of all sorts. Marni was wonderful. The few minor glitches we encountered, she attended to immediately. Thank you!
5.0
We had a great stay, it was a perfect little place for my wife & I to celebrate her 50th birthday. Beach right off the balcony & a close walk to waterfront dining & shopping. Had a great time & the host even left us some chocolate covered macadamia nuts & coffee for staying. Very sweet! The only complaint we had is that we couldn’t stay longer. Hope we didn’t leave too big of a mess. Thank you so much for letting us stay in your beautiful home. Tim & April

This property offered everything we needed for our stay, down to all details including yoga mats, beach towels and labels for everything. Marni was excellent as the host. Mahalo.
5.0
Excellent condo right on the ocean. Short walk to town. Marni thought of everything you might need to make your stay feel like home. Personalized condo feels like a beach house. Comfy bed, living space. Lots of towels and bedding and a washer and dryer. Kitchen well equipped for cooking. with oil, spices, foil, Saran, baggies etc. Beach chairs, umbrella, coolers, boogie boards and snorkel equipment make going to the beach for the day a breeze. Beautiful outdoor spaces with your lani and large pool and bbq area to enjoy. Would love to go back. I could spend the winter in this condo.
5.0
Simply wonderful. Great amenities! Having access to beach chairs, snorkeling gear, and boogie board made the trip even more enjoyable. We were on our third of seven day here when my wife says she wants to stay here again.
5.0
The property overlooks a small public beach where one can relax, watch boogie boarders, do yoga, or read a book in the shade. We enjoyed access to the complex's pool and grills. Just enough away from the main activity on Ali'i Drive, to feel away from the hubbub, but close enough to walk. Depended on the free trolley to go shopping for groceries and visit beaches to the south. Enjoyed it very much. Marni provided essentials: coffee, beach chairs, snorkel equipment, boogie boards. Much appreciated.

This place has every single thing you could ask for. The well thought out amenities are above most other places we’ve stayed. High quality dishes, towels, super comfy bed - just a wonderful stay overall.
5.0
This apartment was perfect for our ten-day stay. We spent countless hours on the lanai, which overlooks a lovely slice of the Kona Coast. The accommodations were excellent and included a comfortable king bed, a well appointed kitchen, and all the snorkeling and body surfing equipment needed for multiple water sports. The resort has a small but lovely swimming pool that was perfect for a lap swimmer like me. Marni is a responsive and thoughtful host who anticipates and responds to her visitors’ every need. All in all, this VRBO apartment rates five stars ( and more).
5.0
We will 100% be returning to Marni’s amazing place! The view! The walking distance to town! The ease of parking! The cleanliness and modernness of the condo! The pool and hot tub with views and sounds of the ocean and the sunset! This place is absolutely perfect and exactly as advertised. My mom did yoga on the beach several mornings - it’s every morning and you don’t have to sign up. Just bring an optional donation for the instructor. Love love love Kona and the entire island and the “Pono” spirit!

Lovely place overlooking a cute public beach and ocean. Pretty birds to watch while eating on the lanai. This place has everything you need for a home away from home on paradise! Excellent communication with the owner.

This condo couldn’t have been more perfect for the two of us. It’s located within walking distance of bars and restaurants, it’s right on the coast, and there are so many amenities. Would stay here again.

Wonderfully updated condo in a great location
5.0
The location is amazing. Easy to walk to area downtown for lots of choices of restaurants, bars, shopping and the view. Balcony view of the ocean is postcard perfect. The beach is right out the door with shower, bbq and pool area. Beach chairs and boogie boards available. I love wherever I sit in this condo there is a peaceful view. The artwork across from the sofa and chair make me feel cozy. King Bed was very comfortable and roomy. All the amenities to make this kitchen like home including coffee filters to make the Kona coffee you will want to drink. I can't imagine ever being disappointed staying here.
5.0
This is without a doubt one of the best condos that I have stayed in during my many visits to Kona. The unit is extremely well furnished, very clean and has a great view of Honl beach and the ocean from the Lanai. It is very quiet, less than a mile walk from the pier, has great dining/shopping nearby and basically has everything that you need from a fully stocked kitchen to ample beach toys to settle right in and enjoy your stay. The recent upgrade of the sliding glass/screen door and the addition of the split system AC makes the unit very easy to relax in and get some of that Kona vibe. I had several interactions with Marni, the owner, during my stay and she was extremely friendly, always had great suggestions and certainly went out of her way to make my stay enjoyable and memorable. The outdoor barbecue area is extremely nice and the sunsets from the pool/beach can not be beat. I can't recommend this condo highly enough and I will hopefully be back for many more visits!!!

We were very happy with our 10 night stay here. This is not a sterile and sparsely outfitted place. The kitchen is equipped to actually use with all appliances and gadgets that you might need. So pleased to find some seasonings and cooking oil and not just a tiny salt and pepper. Great Bosch dishwasher too. Full size washer/dryer in unit is a plus!
Additional benefits were the snorkel gear, boogie boards, ice chest and very nice Tommy Bahama beach chairs for excursions to the beach.
Location is great, we walked into Kona with no problem and the crowning glory is the deck overlooking the small community park next door and the magnificent ocean right outside. Surfers, boogie boarders to watch in the ocean and great people watching in the park. Yoga classes meet there many mornings at 8.
We contacted our host, Marnie to ask if the tv would allow streaming and she said no but she had been thinking about upgrading it so she bought a new one and installed it the next day! How’s that for responsiveness?
Could the decor be a bit updated? Yes. Did it matter? No. We felt at home here and will definitely be back.

Incredible beach front condo that is walking distance to many Kona gems. Condo is well stocked with everything you may need and the lanai is amazing. Marni is an excellent host and the property is perfect.

Lovely beach next door. Snorkels and boogie boards came in handy. Easy walk to the bars/restaurants/shopping. Don’t forget to wear sunscreen.

Our first time on the big island started with 3 nights here. It was a perfect place to be without a car and be able to walk to everything we needed, as well as relax by the ocean side pool and watch beautiful sunsets. Highly recommend this unit for comfort and wonderful amenities. Marnie was so responsive with answering any of our questions and accommodating our every need.

I can’t say enough about this property it was exactly as described and a great location close to town. The property was clean and well taken care of and pictures advertised are exactly what you will fine inside.
I own a timeshare in Kona but I’ll be back to this property.
