About this property

D35 Kona Reef - True Oceanfront & Top Floor! AC throughout!

Located just outside the heart of Kailua- Kona, this ocean front condo is your ticket to paradise! Just minutes from town, a short walk will take you to some of the finest dining and shopping destinations on the Big Island. Our modern, updated condo serves as the perfect home away from home, allowing our guests to enjoy everything the Big Island has to offer.

After a full day of snorkeling, beach combing, hiking, volcano exploring or just relaxing in the sun, return home to kick back and relax on the private lanai with a full ocean front view. Watch sea turtles swim in the tide pools below or see humpback whales and dolphins frolic in the ocean as the sun dips into the sea, creating breathtaking sunsets.

The unit is air conditioned throughout, with separate zone controls for the living room and bedroom. With a lanai that directly overlooks the ocean, you need not be concerned about noise from the pool and cabana area. The only sound you’ll hear is the waves as they crash against the expansive reef. Our top floor location also ensures the utmost privacy and security for the lanai area.

We have taken care to provide a variety of recreational items for your use and enjoyment including:
Beach towels
Beach chairs
Beach umbrella
Beach mat
Boogie boards
Sand pail & tools
Backpack cooler
Binoculars
Free WiFi

Need a break from your vacation? The complex is adjacent to Honl's beach and our unit comes with a fully equipped kitchen, access to popular streaming services, with BBQ grills, a pool and hot tub on site. A washer and dryer is provided for your convenience.

Our condo is ideal for a romantic getaway for two, though the sleeper sofa will allow up to four guests. The bathroom has a walk-in shower with no bathtub, so the unit may not be suitable for families with very young children that require a tub for bathing.

There is an elevator on site, but a set of stairs must be navigated to reach units on the top floor, so it may not be suitable for guests with accessibility concerns. No smoking and no pets allowed.

Great amenities and location

We loved the ability to walk into the main shopping area of Kailua-Kona. At the same time we had fantastic ocean views. You just can’t beat coffee and breakfast on the lanai in the morning.

Awesome views!!

The condo was exactly as it stated and had more than we’ve ever seen in spices and dishes and everything you can imagine to cook with. My husband grilled downstairs at the grill every night and we ate out for lunches. We asked to check out a little bit later at 4 o’clock instead of 11 and the host was very very accommodating. We recommend this condo highly and when we come back to Kona, we will definitely stay there.

Perfect spot for a couples getaway!

My husband and I booked a vacation over spring break for my birthday. We looked at SO MANY rentals and ultimately decided on this one. We absolutely made the right choice! The view of the beach from the lanai is stunning and we began and ended each day sitting outside relaxing. You are in walking distance to several delicious restaurants and the Kona shopping area. We had a rental car and did a lot of exploring of the island. Parking was always easy coming back to the condo. The pool area is also very nice with grills and plenty of space. The condo itself is clean and equipped with everything you might need. I would definitely recommend to friends and family in the future. Did I mention the sunsets??? OMGrelaxing.

Condo in a great location

Nothing beats the location of this condo, just a short walk to downtown Kona. Condo was very clean and the check in/out process was extremely easy. Tisha is a very responsive host, I had to reach out to her on Thanksgiving day and she responded within a couple minutes!

Perfection

This was one of the most beautiful places we have stayed in Kona! Everything about this unit is spectacular, from the moment you walk in and hear the crashing waves right outside the lanai you are transformed to paradise. Parking is super easy, the check-in process was one of the smoothest, and the amenities within the condo are extraordinary. I cannot imagine a better view, or a better location. Thank you for sharing your beautiful oasis with us!

Perfect place in Kailua Kona

Loved the condo. We've stayed 5 times at the Kona Reef but different units. This unit was awesome. Great views right on the ocean, updated bathroom, double A/C unit with one in the bedroom was game changer. Great communication with the owner. Batteries were going out on the lick, within hours we had someone coming and change the batteries. Very highly recom.end.

In the Heart of Kona

What an amazing location and the view from the room was ocean, ocean and more ocean. We walked just about a block and were able to go to all the great restaurants and shops. Everything you could need was in the kitchen. The pool and jacuzzi was a special bonus for watching the sunsets.
