Two weeks in paradise

We loved our stay at Kona Reef Resort-Condo F-16. Sue was a great host. This little gem was very clean, fully stocked with all kinds of thoughtful details. The condo has a very comfortable bed and the bath has a luxurious rain shower. The kitchen had all accessories needed to easily prepare breakfast or a dinner before settling onto the lanai for a sunset evening. Great location with easy access to the airport, local shops, farmer’s markets, big box stores like Costco, Safeway, Walmart and Target. Perfect location for awesome day trips to Volcano National Park, Hilo waterfalls, Hilo Botanical Gardens and many many beaches. The Condo has tons of beach toys; sand chairs, cooler, umbrella etc etc. We truly had two weeks in paradise!

Fantastic location and View

The property is very well maintained and though built in the 80’s, every bit of it is kept clean and maintained to current standards. Sue’s place is clean, modernized, with WiFi, full sized washer/dryer, full sized kitchen with everything needed to cook and dine at the condo ( saving lots of by not eating out as much). Loved the location. Away from the noise of town but very easy walking distance. The views of the ocean and reef waves were spectacular. We saw whales and Spinner dolphins almost daily. Watching the sunset each night from the grassy area in front of the resort was a sight to be treasured. Highly recommend the Starfish (Sue’s condo) BTW, her communications with us were outstanding!

Great view inside and outside

Kona Reef is one of our favorite places to stay in Kona. Location is within walking distance of shopping and places to eat. This particular condo has a good view of the waves and the ocean. The owners have nicely remodeled the entire unit. It’s open and bright. The kitchen is well stocked. Everything was as described. Except the view. It changes every night and that keeps me coming back! Enjoy it

Wonderful Honeymoon Stay

Well situated and stocked property! The neighborhood is highly walkable to get to shops and restaurants in the historic Kailua Village. There's also public beach access directly next door for swimmers and surfers. If you prefer, bike rentals are available on the street next to the Royal Kona Resort. The local Farmers and Craft Market is also within walking distance Wed-Sun.

Great Updated Condo

Nice condo that has been updated. Very clean and had everything we needed. Comfortable bed. Just as advertised. Building is older but still nice. Beautiful view of the ocean but other building blocks the view of the sunset from balcony. Could see it great down by the pool. Fun to watch the surfers in the morning. My only issue was furniture on the balcony was a high top table/chairs. We couldn't sit out there because of accessibility issue that prevented me from getting into a chair. Made dining in the condo difficult. The table/chairs was very nice just not accessible.

As Expected, A Great Stay

The location is great, just a 10 minute walk into town. The condo was very clean, which was what was most important to me. The only downsides were there was no hand soap, we were unable to figure out the TV in the bedroom, and the couch could use a steam clean. Honestly, it was a great stay. These things are minor, I only mention it so that the next guests have everything they need.

Nice, clean condo on a quieter end of Kailua Kona, but easy to drive to restaurant area on Ali’i and grocery stores in the surrounding area. Could walk it if we were younger ;) Well stocked kitchen, nice view from balcony and we got to hear and see pretty strong waves, as well as see some surfers!

Perfect location!

My husband and I enjoyed a week in this condo and enjoyed every minute of it! It's very clean and comfortable. The view from the lanai is so beautiful and relaxing, and looks just like the pictures. This place is the perfect distance from the shops and restaurants so it's much quieter, but still within easy walking distance. The kitchen is well stocked with the basics so it was easy to enjoy breakfast and coffee on the lanai while watching the boogie boarders and surfers every morning.

About the host

Hosted by Sue

Host profile image
In 2022, we acquired Kona Reef F16. The big island is so different from the other island in Hawaii. It is unique in its own way and characteristics.

For years we've been going to Hawaii and we've had our home away from home in Maui, until last year when we visited the big island of Hawaii. We wanted to share with you the joys that we found when we first came to the big island and we hope that you will find the same magic that we discovered recently.

As we get closer to retirement, the plan is to live in Hawaii and continue to share with you our little cozy home at Kona Reef. Whatever happens in the future, our little Starfish home will be here for you. Welcome to Starfish Home and we hope that you will continue to come back.

Why they chose this property

It's a walking distance to downtown Kailua that provides shopping, night life and plenty of restaurants for those who don't want to cook. Yet, it is a little far if you just want to lounge and view the sunset in front of the resort.
