OCEANFRONT Kona Reef, Top Rated Reviews

Kona Reef, beautiful one-bedroom, direct oceanfront condominium, on world-famous Alii Drive. Our condo is 23 feet from the ocean and offers spectacular sunsets. Watch the surfers and the dolphins from the lanai.
This immaculate, recently upgraded condo has every thing you will need for a great vacation. It has all the comforts of home.

Our condo, D-16, is highly rated by previous guests, we are responsible owners who take our guest's comfort and satisfaction seriously.

Everything is happening right in front of you here. This is one of the best surfing spots on the island, the break is just in front of the condo. Dolphins, turtles, ships, birds, and when you prefer to read a book and just relax, this is also the most tranquil place to be. Relax and listen to the ocean waves, and enjoy perfect weather and beautiful sunsets.

Kona has some of the world's best, golf, fishing, diving, snorkeling and beaches. You can run, bike or hike for miles, or just sit back, watch the Pacific Ocean and ........

The location is perfect and the view was stunning. We love having a washer/dryer. The BBQ area is great and the lanai is the perfect place for a lovely sunset dinner. We are always on the go so the space was perfect for our headquarters. There is air conditioning, but we never turned it on. The sound of the waves is magical.
Beautiful sunset off of the lanai.
