2026 will be an interesting year at Kona Reef. There will be Spauling repair occurring throughout the complex, starting in January - March with work being done on buildings A&B (directly impacting our unit). As work moves on through the year the direct impact will be less, but noise and dust can be anticipated during working hours of 8-5 M-F (great time to schedule enjoying seeing the island). The prices on the Calendar have been discounted from 10% to 50% from regular rates based on the amount of impact to our renters anticipated.

Fabulous condo

We really enjoyed our stay at Bruce's condo. It was exactly as depicted and described. Everything we needed for our five night stay was provided, there were even snorkel gear and boogie boards for our use. The balcony was wonderful, we spent a lot of time out there enjoying the view of the surf.

On the water views

Enjoyed being within 100ft of the shoreline from our room. Unobstructed 180 ocean views. The property is tired and in need of lots of lip stick ( paint, loose walkway tiles. When you run this many people through a condo complex it requires a commitment to maintain it at a desirable level. This high level of commitment is absent at Kona Reef. If you have to say the words “it’s not that bad”, it needs work and is that bad. If the property condition matched its location with ocean front living It would be a winner. Tough love from an honest guest

Hawaiian Delight!

The view is AMAZING! The owners were responsive and gave us lots of information about the condo and the area. They were available if more information was needed. The condo is nicely updated with all the basics you need to start your vacation. Already had paper towels, dishwasher tabs, zipper bags, spices, some condiments, etc... The bed was comfortable. There was plenty of storage. We also liked that there was Chromcast as well as a cable tv option. The complex is very well maintained and has a lovely pool and grill area. We have stayed at the Kona Reef resort previously and this condo is one of the best in the complex. The location of this condo is also a big plus! You can walk to town where you will find restaurants, bars, boutiques, shave ice, gelato and so much more. We hope to return again soon!

Great patio, nothing between it and the shoreline. Sunset over the water. The unit was fine, bring coffee. Small rocky beach next to the property, good for getting wet. Pool area is nice. Surfing out front most days. Nothing really walkable.

Great place. Clean. Cozy. Well stocked. Almost every conceivable utensil in the kitchen. Everything works. Nice extras like snorkel equipment and boogie boards. Lanai is very private overlooking beautiful rocky cove. Had breakfast and dinner every day out there. Bruce is a great host that gave us all the info we needed for our stay. I hope to stay there again next trip to the Kona coast.

Amazing location with great views and amenities!

Overall the condo felt like our little home on the Big Island! We were very impressed with the location and the views from the oceanfront balcony were amazing! Also we really appreciated all of the stuff available in the condo - beach chairs, towels, boogie boards, appliances, washer/dryer - everything we needed for a great vacation! The area had so many great things within walking distance - restaurants, shopping and the farmers market (and Walmart/Costco was a short drive!). Also the host was super quick to respond to our request and other questions. A great place to stay!

Well appointed condo in absolutely amazing location!

As soon as we walked in and heard the surf we knew we’d picked the right place for our stay. The lanai is as good as it gets for oceanfront coffee, sunset cocktails, and everything in between. The complex has a nice pool, hot tub, and grill area that we enjoyed using. The condo itself is updated and had everything we needed in the kitchen and laundry for a week’s stay (and longer of only we could). The complex is a short walking distance to downtown Kailua-Kona restaurants, shops, and bars, and there is a beautiful little public beach next door. What more could you need!

Couldn’t ask for a better view on the private lanai located in walking distance to many of the stores and restaurants. The condo had everything we needed for a comfortable stay (14 days), including pool and hot tub on site. A great little beach right next door. Watched spinner dolphins while drinking our morning coffee right from the lanai!

We stayed for 5 nights in Bruce’s condo in Kona-Kailua. It was well equipped with everything we needed to make our trip comfortable. The bed was very comfortable. We got use of the pool on several occasions. Restraunts and shops within walking distance. The view is spectacular! I would recommend this property.

Wonderful visit

We just had a great visit to the Big Island in this wonderful condo. As others have described the view is unbeatable and the location is fantastic. The condo is very well stocked for cooking and use of the washer and dryer came in very handy. Bruce contacted us in advance when he learned there would be construction in the unit above ours, and he proactively refunded some of our money as compensation for the noise. Would absolutely stay here again.
