Sunset in Paradise Oceanfront 1BR/1BA Condo at Kona Reef Fast WiFi & Central AC

Note: Kona Reef will be undergoing necessary exterior repairs on neighboring buildings January - June 2026. Repairs to the parking areas will take place April 2026 - April 2027. This may result in additional noise 8-5 on weekdays as repairs are completed. Rates are reduced to reflect this.

Enjoy breathtaking sunset views every night from this beautifully updated condo steps from Downtown Kailua-Kona village with AC in both the living room and bedroom.

Sunset in Paradise is your private paradise with gorgeous ocean views straight from a postcard. Relax on the lanai listening to the crashing waves with a cocktail while you enjoy another sunset, or sip your morning coffee while you watch the cruise ship come in. Inside you can enjoy the updated kitchen to prepare your own gourmet meals, relax on the comfortable sofa in front of the large 4K TV.

In the evening you can enjoy the nightly conch ceremony at sunset from your lanai with the best seat in the house, or head down and grill up some fresh catch at the poolside BBQ.

At the end of the day drift off to sleep on the California King memory foam mattress in the air conditioned bedroom dreaming of what you will do tomorrow in paradise.

High speed WiFi (500 Mbps), 50 inch 4K TV with 100s of channels and access to all major streaming services (bring your own subscription), Blu-ray player, and Air Conditioning throughout. California King bed to fall asleep on after another day exploring paradise in air conditioned bedroom. Pull out queen bed in living room sofa.

We try to include everything you will need to enjoy your vacation. Beach towels, umbrella and beach mat, cooler, snorkel gear, even boogie boards. The only thing you need to bring is your swimsuit and sunscreen.

Right outside the condo is the oceanfront pool and spa, as well as the BBQ area (so close the WiFi works great from there!). If you venture out, you are just steps away from everything. Enjoy the sandy beach right next door to the condo and watch turtles relax when it's calm, or locals surf when the waves are up. Take a short walk (less than 5 minutes) to enjoy pupus at Don the Beachcomber or delicious meals at Huggos. A few minutes further walk and you can visit the many shops of Kailua, grab a local coffee or acai bowl, or shop at the local market for fresh fruits, flowers, crafts, or just about anything else you can imagine!

Common grounds are tropical and well maintained with cameras and nightly security patrols for your safety and wellbeing (no cameras are inside the unit for your privacy).

Condo is well equipped with everything you need, from cooking to playing at the beach (see amenities for details). The only hard part of your vacation will be leaving.

Note: Hawaii is currently considering a bill to raise the Transient Accommodations Tax (TAT) from 10.25% to 11% starting in 2026. For bookings after 01/01/2026 tax rates will be adjusted to reflect the change if passed.

Beyond Your Expectations! My wife insisted I write a review that encapsulates our trip here, but a short review does not do it justice. From the moment we walked in, the fresh smell, cleanliness, & condo & views, more than matching the pictures, sealed the deal. My wife reviewed a ton of places and chose this one based on the consistent reviews and the view of the ocean we wanted. The hosts thought of EVERYTHING. All the main comforts for sure, but even little details like stocked kitchen, qtips, nail clippers, all the creature comforts you need are already here. We put the provided Tommy Bahama chairs and umbrella in our trunk and went to so many beaches. The dual AC is a lifesaver. We made sure to leave them low or off while away to save electricity, but turn them on, the condo is cool immediately. The decor and artwork, layout, and updated everything make this beyond a 5 star stay. All that was missing was butler service (could we have ordered that too?) The other guests and residents were all fantastic, the complex is QUIET and well maintained. The sunsets and nightly conch ceremony, which I participated in, are beyond words. I attached a pic. My wife is a hair dresser and half her clients now want to book here. We've stayed in 2 other condos in previous trips but we will now make this one our go to. 5 stars is not enough, truly a resort stay. THANK YOU for making the best memory for us. You can't put a price on that. THIS PLACE IS WONDERFUL! GREAT HOSTS!

The condo from Steve and Amber is outstanding!! We had a perfect stay. The view from the lanai, especially for sunset is gorgeous. Following the conch ceremony… awesome. We already have rented other condos in the past (not on Big Island) but this condo was the best we ever had!!! The furnishing, the cleanless, the equipment, more than perfect. Everything you need at the kitchen, for beachdays or charging mobiles….. We definetely will come back again. Mahalo for the everything Peter & Petra

Beyond incredible property and stay

This unit looked great in photos, and was even better in person! The moment my husband walked thru the house and onto the lanai, he said "good job" (in picking the rental).I filtered listings that were oceanfront, ac, king bed, and the highest reviews. I cannot say how impressed I was with the home's cleanliness. After staying in many different vacation rentals, I notice the little things like dust in places that don't get used much. This home made me feel at home, and honestly inspired me to clean the little things at my own home after lol.The heated pool and spa are fantastic. Theres also lounge chairs outside the fenced in pool area you can watch the ocean or sunset.There is privacy inside the unit as well, where you can sit on the couch and watch the ocean. Steve and Amber make the stay easy. They give you the info you need, but make you feel completely comfortable to enjoy your vacation. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Steve and Amber. We hope to return.

Its the little things

Its the little things that matter! This rental was PERFECT for our stay. This owner cares about their property, the quality and the subtle small things to make our 12 night stay worth every penny is evident in their property. This owner understands service, and care, from the moment we walked into to our cute welcome basket to the quality of the towels, linens and utensils which all served our needs exactly as needed. The upgrades to the refrigerator, washer/dryer and electronics gave us the desired comfort to make the stay so enjoyable we didn't want to leave on day 13. The condo is perfectly positioned to enjoy a coffee overlooking the whales in the morning and sunset in the evening on the very comfortable lanai. The organization of the outside "toys" afforded us to be able to use them with ease. There wasn't a si gle thing we didn't know its exact intention on how to use. We have stayed on a lot of VRBOs, including on this complex and this one by far exceeded expectations!
