About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire condo to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

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.

***The Kona Reef has notified owners that there is going to be a Structure and Resurfacing project to repair areas of compromised spalling, water damage and corrosion due to continuous exposure to water and sea air from January 2026 to April 2027. I have blocked our unit from rentals during the actual period D building is scheduled to be worked on. The pool/cabana area will not be affected, aside from noise. If you choose to book during this timeframe, be aware that there may be extraneous noise from construction in the complex.***
This condo's walkable location gets good marks from our customers. During your stay, you're just a quick walk from Honl's Beach. Features include an outdoor pool, 1 hot tub and laundry facilities. Enjoy your stay with amenities like free WiFi and a kitchen in the condo.
  • Air-conditioned condo with kitchen, washing machine and balcony
  • Free WiFi

Just perfect! The space was quiet, clean, and very well appointed with a fully stocked kitchen and beach gear. The bed was so comfortable! We loved sitting on the lanai to watch the sunset and listen to the sounds of waves crashing below. The pool area was never crowded and the grills in the common area were spotless. Parking was easy and the location was convenient.The only issue we had was a problem with a faulty kitchen appliance and it was resolved in less than 24 hours. We were very impressed with the level of responsiveness. The communication ahead of our visit was great too, absolutely no complaints. Highly recommend this location for your next visit to the Kona area!

This place earns a top rating because of its sensational view; cleanliness; furnishings and amenities; superior proximity to shops and dining and owner responsiveness. It has everything we needed and nothing that we didn't need. Everything works, we were comfortable with the sea breeze coming through by day and with the A/C at night. We would definitely stay here again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Kona Reef. This unit is oceanfront and it can't get better than that. The bed was very comfortable, the unit had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The 2 split AC units were the beat as it would have been too warm for us without it. The unit was in walking distance of local restaurants and shops. The communication was almost immediate, when needed with the owner. We have stayed in many VRBO units and this unit "ticks" all our boxes. We will definitely return here and hopefully soon. Thank you for your hospitality!

Breathtaking views

We’ve had the pleasure of staying in this condo twice and absolutely loved it both times! The view is simply breathtaking, and there’s nothing better than relaxing on the lanai while watching the stunning sunsets. The condo is comfortable, well-maintained, and fully stocked with everything we need. We can’t wait to come back again!

THE VIEW

Our stay was amazing.. the unit is very well stocked, we used the pool side grills, parking was easy, short walk to great restaurants. But the icing on the cake was sitting on the lanai morning & evening watching & listening to the waves crash! I stress over booking places to stay.... would definitely book this again!

True Paradise!

We were celebrating our wedding anniversary, and while we have stayed at this condo complex several times before, this was our first time in this particular unit. This unit is absolutely our favorite! It was just as advertised, fully furnished, had everything we needed, and was clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well-stocked and allowed us to cook meals whenever we wanted. We spent much time on the lanai and enjoyed watching the dolphins, birds, surfers, and boats. We enjoyed great walks into town and visited several local restaurants during our visit. We highly recommend Huggo's & On the Rocks as they are very close by and the food was amazing! The Maitais were delicious! The pool was clean and had ample seating in the sun or the shade. We contacted the host once to make a request, which they graciously accommodated. They were very professional and pleasant to talk to. We will stay in this unit again and highly recommend it to others. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

4 Night Stay

My husband and I stayed in the condo for four nights during the second leg of our trip to the big island. It was a great size for the two of us and having the balcony was fantastic for morning coffee and evening views as well. Great location that is walkable to town without all the noise and traffic of town!

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.

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.

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.
