The view, the view the view and the sound of waves, the best therapy. Sitting on the lanai was my favorite part of my stay. Easy parking, a few short stairs, but easy to get to the unit. Location was great, walkable to restaurants/shops, short ten minute drive to White Sands beach. Host was very helpful and made sure everything was in order.

The condo was perfect - everything I needed was supplied.The master bed was sooo comfortable that I asked the host for the brand and model of the mattress!Parking onsite was easy and traffic only snarled when there was road maintenance. Local online news shows daily road impairments, so it was so easy to navigate around congestion. Mahalo nui loa for an unforgettable stay! I’ll be returning once again, soon!!

Watching the sunsets, surfers and all the other activities from the lanai was so fun and relaxing.The owner, Jim, was great about responding to questions and making suggestions as well. I would definitely recommend this property for a great stay on the big island.

Amazing sunsets and walking distance to great restaurants

The four of us had a wonderful 6 night stay. Jim was a great communicator and easy to reach with our questions. The condo had everything we needed and more. The views are absolutely amazing. The condo is just a little dated but it’s clean, comfortable and very affordable for what you get. We’ve stayed at several units in Kona and this is for sure our new favorite.

I’m from the Big Island & living out of state. We come yearly and have used 3 other condos in Kona Reef. This condo is the BEST u’ll ever find. CLEAN, super HOST, beach view from EVERY ROOM & BALCONY!! If u’ve ever been to Hawaii u know how important AC Fans are. This unit has AC Fans in EVERY ROOM….Fan even on balcony!!…where we spent most of our time…beach to left, surfers/ships/canoes in front of u. Owners have thought of ALL your needs and it’s there….open a drawer/cupboard inside and outside/balcony is a chest full of beach stuff!! Beach Towels!! Our daughter-in-law did her first snorkeling at Honl’s Beach (we watched her from balcony)…thanks to equipment there!! Beach chairs, matts, Boogie boards, beach umbrellas . Fully equipped kitchen. We will be REPEAT customers!! I have found the perfect place to enjoy coming HOME…and owner is easily assessable for any questions.
