Pros: Amazing views from the condo of the beach and ocean; we did not use the pool on the property, but it looked nice. Easy to walk into town. Spacious 1 bedroom with 1 bathroom. Easy to park at the property. Friendly people. Cons: Condo is in need of a refresh - damaged drywall, vent is caked with dust, screen door is off track and difficult to open/shut, kitchen is pretty well equipped, but chipped plates (one was clearly repaired with some type of glue). When we arrived, there was sand around the kitchen sink and countertop and I wondered if a critter accesses the condo because we kept finding sand on the countertop despite the sliding door and front door remaining closed.

We like that this was right beside Honl beach which we had a lovely view of. We loved where the pool was as well as it face the ocean with beautiful sunset views. The suite was big and comfortable with sufficient amenities. However one of the bifold doors was broken and completely off the hinges. I reported this but no one came to inspect or repair it. Also the bedroom had no curtains or blinds on the window and there was no sac in the bedroom either.

A great property that is very conveniently located in Kona. The condo rental had everything needed and the covered parking was great. Owner was prompt in responding when there was an issue with the code to get in. A nice little beach next door although it seems to be an overnight homeless sleeping area. We didnt have any safety issues that came from that though. Would stay again if back in Kona.

Great location! Terrible check in and poor unit

“Remote host” could not find our reservation. Sent wrong room number. Walked back and forth on the property WITH LUGGAGE until Hotels.com reached owner for right room. Unit needs attention. Dirty fan in bedroom, curtains torn mostly due to window installation not completed. Location of final unit was amazing but unit needs about a weeks worth of work, replace curtains and updating. See images attached.
Dirty fan. Never cleaned since installed.

This was a DEVASTATING experience for me and my daughter as we travelled all the way from WI and arrived to a room that was not even cleaned and disgusting. We spent our first night buying cleaning supplies and disinfecting the place, including washing the sheets, as the manager told me they could not send housekeeping until the next morning. They have promised to refund me one night stay and cleaning supplies, of which I still have not seen this refund. We wanted to stay somewhere else but last minute notice of 5 nights in Kona was difficult to find. So devastating and disappointing. DON'T STAY HERE!

This property was amazing, near beach view is something out of a commercial. I love the beach view during the day. It has everything you need when you travel with your family. Something’s do need some upgrades like the washer and dryer and the ceiling fan that was not working properly and some new curtains, but overall great stay. Parking was a breeze, they even allowed us to stay a few more hours past check out time for no extra charge. 4.5 stars.

This was our second time staying at the Kona Castle Reef . This oceanfront unit was comfortable, tidy and an excellent layout. Some of the lighting fixtures seemed dated and Could use replacement . Having the bbq’s there as an alternative cooking option was fantastic. We can’t wait to visit again next year and hopefully secure the same unit as we did this time .

Held Our Room Ransom Through Hidden Fees

HIDDEN FEES! After paying in full prior to our trip through Hotels.com, we received an email from the management company 6 hours before our check in (while we were still on the plane to Hawaii) that we had an outstanding balance of $312.00, which was more than the price of a one night stay. When we landed and I was able to call, they claimed it was a cleaning fee and we would not receive our check in information until it was paid. Seeing as our only other option was to desperately find a new place, we paid the ransom. I called the manager about this fee, who said these fees were disclosed earlier. When I sent her my Hotels.com receipt stating my whole stay had already been paid for, along with her management company’s message via Hotels.com that never stated any price on these hidden fees, she went silent and refused to answer our calls or respond back to our multiple voicemails. She could not point out anywhere in the contract where these high fees would be charged. As for the “cleaning fee”, the floors were absolutely filthy when we arrived, with the bottoms of our feet turning black within seconds of entering the unit and removing our shoes. The only cleaning received during our three nights came after we left. The closet door to the washing machine was also busted through. This company was completely dishonest about the costs and I would urge anyone looking to book this place to reconsider.
