Kona Reef Beachfront / Walk to Town / Air Con / WiFi / Top Floor / Free Parking

You're gonna love your Kona Reef Beachfront getaway. Imagine the big smile on your face when you walk through the door of this lovely renovated, top-floor, jewel of a condo... a place you get to call your Kailua-Kona "home" away from home.

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 MIGHT ALREADY KNOW: There will be construction at Kona Reef into 2027.

THE GOOD NEWS: Construction in B-Bldg where my unit (#B34) is located is finished.

MOSTLY QUIET: B-34 faces the beach and you should hear more wave action than construction from the lanai. You might experience construction noise from the pool are on SOME weekdays.

If you tend to be out and about weekdays – beach, sight-seeing, farm tours, golf, scuba – you you'll hardly notice the construction. And the property will be quiet and peaceful evenings after 4:30pm and weekends and holidays for you to enjoy the pool, hot tub, pavilion.

Late 2026 into early 2027, construction will be in the parking areas. The majority of the parking spaces will be available, but it is possible street parking could be necessary during high occupancy. If you have any questions about construction, send me an inquiry.

All that aside, inside the condo 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 keeps both living room and bedroom cool. The expanded kitchen features bamboo cabinets, white 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 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.

Thanks for looking and thanks for booking!

About the Air Conditioning:
2-unit split system for your creature comfort! The living room and the bedroom each have their own wall A/C unit. 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.

Everything you needed to cook your own meals was available - from pots and pans and utensils to spices, cooking oils, etc. There was even a little greeting basket full of coffee, candy, cookies, etc.Marni was absolutely fantastic to work with. She was quick to reply to questions and was always really polite.

The lanai offered a very pleasant end of day area to rest, have a drink, and plan the next day. It had a great view of the small public beach area and ocean, with visitors enjoying the breaks in the nearby reef and such - all quiet and gone by early evening. The house had a well stocked kitchen and large refrigerator, but we found ourselves typically taking the very short walk "downtown" for a coffee and acai bowl or muffin, then back to the resort to continue exploring the island even though this is our 5th visit to the Big Island. And a short walk downtown for dinner, etc. During our stay the Artemis II mission was in progress but we had some difficulties with the TV in the family room. We travel a lot so I can usually overcome difficulties with TV but this stumped me. With Marni's help with some info, I called the TV provider (Spectrum) and they quickly reset the box and all was well. However over the next couple days it degraded again, but with the nice weather we were out enjoying Hawaii anyway. Overall, wonderful lodging, responsive host (Marni), and very enjoyable stay.
