WOW! Lovely Kona Reef Direct Oceanfront Condo-Top Floor, Gorgeous Sunsets & A/C
Welcome to The Seashore Oasis, a Magnificent Oceanfront Top Floor Condo - Come Enjoy Paradise at Kona Reef D-36! This condo has stunning and mesmerizing up-close views of the ocean!
The big island is home to the famous Kilauea volcano. This condo is newly redecorated in a beautiful sunset and volcano theme!
From our direct oceanfront top floor condo, you can enjoy the close-up sights and sounds of the ocean all day long, as the waves come rolling in right in front of you and crash onto the black rocks.
From our private lanai (outdoor porch), you will enjoy the gorgeous sunsets, all with an unobstructed and direct view of the sun setting over the ocean. You will have a front row seat to view the stunning shoreline of beautiful Kailua-Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii, all directly from your penthouse condo. We are excited to share our little piece of paradise with you!
This modern, completely private top floor condo is one of the premier units in the highly desirable Kona Reef Resort. The top floor offers extra quiet and security, not to mention unmatched up-close ocean views. This condo is not just located in an oceanfront complex. Rather, this particular condo is a direct oceanfront condo (as opposed to a condo with just an ocean view), and you won’t be disappointed!
The only real oceanfront condos at Kona Reef Resort are located in buildings A and D. Any other condos at Kona Reef are just ocean view units, but not oceanfront units! Don't settle for less. Come and enjoy the best that the ocean has to offer.
Our beautiful and updated condo provides you with a comfortable KING bed with a memory foam mattress, quiet, dual zone A/C air conditioning throughout the living room and bedroom, and ceiling fans in the living room, outdoor lanai, and bedroom. In the living room, a new high-end sofa bed pulls out into a very comfortable queen bed, and thanks to the latest technology there is no uncomfortable bar under your back!
The bathroom features a walk-in shower. Cable television is offered in both the living room and in the bedroom. You are also able to connect your streaming services on both SMART TVs. There is also a DVD player and an iPhone-compatible sound system.
The fully stocked kitchen features high-end cabinetry, granite counters, and is outfitted with modern appliances: a full stove/oven, a large refrigerator, a dishwasher, a microwave, coffee maker, toaster, kettle, blender, and plates, glasses, cups, pots, pans, and utensils, etc.
We have a new washer and dryer inside the condo that are available for your convenience at no extra charge. We provide high speed internet with Wi-Fi. There is a small office desk area should you need to have a place to work.
Kona Reef has a pool that is heated all year long, along with a jacuzzi (hot tub), and a barbecue area for your use. This area of the resort is a great place to gather and make new friends over sunsets and dinner! On your private outdoor lanai (outdoor balcony), you can watch the palm trees sway softly as the gorgeous teal and blue colored waves rush onto the shore and crash on the black lava rocks right in front of you.
From our lanai, you can look for dolphins, turtles, manta rays, and if you’re lucky, even whales frolicking right in front of you! Enjoy watching the surfers and boogie boarders right from your penthouse lanai. There is a little beach (Honl's Beach) at the corner of the resort grounds - an easy 2-minute walk from the condo, which features a small cove where there is some nice snorkeling.
* Please note that while there is an elevator to get to the top floor, there is an additional short flight of stairs to climb - a total of 9 steps.
Please note that the big island has a strict NO SMOKING rule, and there cannot be any smoking or vaping of any kind anywhere on the grounds of Kona Reef Resort, in the units, or on the private lanais, other than in the small smoking section located in the parking lot.
For those guests who wish to spend a day at the beach, we provide a supply of essentials for your use: beach towels, a beach umbrella, beach mats, boogie boards, snorkeling sets (including masks, fins, and snorkels), and a large rolling cooler.
A parking pass is available for the duration of your stay and will be left for you in the condo. There is ample free parking, including rooftop parking, street level outdoor parking, and two levels of underground parking in the garage.
It is a 5-minute walk to Kona town, where there are plenty of restaurants, bars, shops, the local farmers market, and Kailua Pier. Some of the best beaches on the island are just a few minutes’ drive away.
The island lives up to its name: The Big Island, as there are many things to see and do, from white sand to black sand, and even green sand beaches where the honu (sea turtles) come onto shore, to coffee plantations, chocolate farms, and of course the Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park. For sports lovers, there are all varieties of activities: surfing, snorkeling, boogie boarding, hiking, kite surfing, canoeing, the annual Ironman World Championships, the annual Queen Lili’uokalani Canoe Races, the world’s largest long distance canoe race. Swimmers from the Ironman open water swim and the race canoes pass right in front of our condo.
If you have a late flight home on the day that you check out, such as an evening flight, which often occurs, then you should consider booking one more night so that you can have full use of the condo for as long as you need to on the day that you check out. Otherwise, we will likely have another guest checking in on the day that you leave, which will not allow us to offer you a day pass to use the condo all day until your flight leaves.
Come and enjoy Paradise - your dream vacation is just a click away!! .
The condo is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and a desk.

I loved my stay at this condo! Regina and Scott were in great communication throughout the entire process making the trip very smooth. This spot is beautiful with the crashing waves right there, and I loved watching the boogie boarders each day! I was there for Spring Break and wasn't sure how busy it would be and was pleasantly surprised at how mellow and tucked away it was while still being minutes from all the action. I will definitely return to this spot again!

Regina was the best host we have had over are 15 years of renting on VRBO. Awesome furniture, appliances and a mini split in both the main area and bedroom is a perk that most of the other units do not have. And the view from the lanai is a bucket list view. We left the lanai open with the front door open and there was a cooling breeze all day. At night we used the mini split in the bedroom and were very comfortable. I can't recommend the host and condo enough.

We had a really nice stay here. The location is excellent—oceanfront and within walking distance of downtown Kona. The views are beautiful, and it was great having a dedicated parking spot so close to everything. The AC worked well, which we appreciated, and the kitchen was well stocked and functional. And, I loved the booklet with activities and dining suggestions. We’ve been to the island many times and still found it helpful (The Village Burger is indeed worth a trip!)There were a couple of small housekeeping items at check-in, but the host was responsive and communicative. Overall, a solid place to stay in Kona with a great location.

Kona Penthouse ????We stayed in this unit for one week in December 2025. Not sure how it got the title as a penthouse. I was expecting some upgrades to the unit as I have stayed in other units in these condos.The photo that shows a table that is at a standard level in the picture is what I expected. What we got were high tables and high chairs. Very difficult for older people to climb up into them. Also one photo shows a chair in the living room, there was no chair in the living room.Improvements to be made would be replace the table on the lanai and possibly put some lounging beds out there. The other unit we stayed in had lounging beds. This unit came with bare minimum.

A slice of paradise
I can not say enough about our hosts. I realized on the day we were set to arrive that i had made an error on the booking dates. I reached out to Regina and Scott to see if they could accommodate one extra day due to my error (I thought it was unlikely). Regina went out of her way to accommodate us. I was thrilled and so appreciative. Best hosts ever!!! In addition, the condo was just what we needed. The million dollar view and great location to walk to everything on Ali'i Drive was perfect. We also enjoyed the washer and dryer that is located in the unit. It was essential to us being able to pack lighter!!! Thanks again to Regina and Scott. I can't recommend them as hosts enough!
