Better than Maui

We had a great 5 day stay at this condo. The location of the property was walking distance to all sorts of restaurants. We also snuck in a couple of 4 mile runs. We will definitely be back.

Virtual Work Environment

We had a great stay. Worked a couple of hours from the Lani and then called it a day. Staying in the unit helped us envision a future on the island. Unit was clean, well stocked, and a great location. Within walking distance of local shops and restaurants. Great space for a couple..glad we did not invite a kid or two!

Beautiful view, great location.

Condo was perfect for 2 people. It was stocked with everything we needed. Didn't do any cooking but did enjoy morning coffee and evening wine on lanai. Good location - very walkable to all shops and restaurants. Property management accessible for the one issue we had. Would definitely rent that unit again.

We will certainly be back.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I don't know where else you can be right on the surf from your lanaii, right next to a small local beach with surfers and boogie boarders to watch from the lanaii or beach, hear and see the waves and surf, pool, grilling and many amenities and still be only a 5 minute walk to downtown kona. It's our 4th stay there, so that's saying something.

A great condo with a spectacular view

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed every minute of our 11 day stay. It has been nicely updated. The lounges on the lanai were a nice plus. This unit is an easy walking distance to the shops and restaurants of Kailua. The ONLY downfall was the old washer/dryer unit. Time for the owners to replace the noisy old thing. If you have mobility issues, be aware that the elevator is 1/2 floor off from the units in the building. We would love to return to Kona Reef D-26.

FANTASTIC

My wife and I greatly enjoyed our stay at the Kona Reef apartment. The apartment and location were just as advertised and we really appreciated that there were beach chairs, an umbrella and snorkel gear for us to use and we did make good use of them. There was just one beach towel which was an oversight but we managed just fine. We have stayed in rental units around the world and we found that this kitchen was very well equipped since we like to cook some of our meals. However. We have never stayed at a unit where there were no condiments. No sugar, No salt, nothing. We had to buy these items which was not a big deal but a little frustrating. WE WOULD RECOMMEND THIS RENTAL TO ANYONE LOOKING FOR A VERY RELAXING AND HASSLE FREE VACATION. Michael and Sharon

Can’t trust them

I love it when you book something through Monday, but they only except the booking until Sunday and then don’t tell you. And then they’re so lovely that they kick you out on the day before your flight. And it’s so much fun having no place to stay for one night. And then when you call and contact them, nobody calls you back or tells you when they do give you a short text to find a hotel. So I don’t know if it’s the property manager that accepted it only for their dates and not telling us that they were a day short. Or if it was VBRO. But one of them made a boo-boo and didn’t tell us and it was not a fun experience . The worst part is the property manager made no attempt to make it right they just kick us out kind of rude actually so thanks for that. when I did find out, I had a place at a hotel. The hotel manager did tell me that that’s a very common thing with the property managers in Hawaii where at least in Kona. so if you’re in Kona, you better stick with a hotel they can at least be trusted.

The property management team had great communication. We stayed during the Tsunami warning, and they were in constant contact with us. We enjoyed the pool and loved having a place to park without extra charge. I would highly recommend this place and would love to come stay again.

Great location on the beach and walkable to Kailua Town

Great stay at the property! Everything was as expected per the listing. I wasn't sure how walkable it would be to restaurants/shops, but it was very easy - less than 1/2 mile walk. Traffic and parking in town are a bit of a hassle, so we appreciated being able to walk there. I was a bit surprised by the additional insurance fee they charged upon booking, as I have not encountered that with other property managers. And the contract we had to sign was ridiculously long! I felt we were treated with the expectation that we would ruin their property with all the rules and signatures required in the contract. That said, we had a great stay and enjoyed the accommodation.

PERFECT Place to Relax

We wanted to do a mix of nature/outdoor stuff and relaxing reading a book/playing a video game, and this place was in the perfect location. Close enough to town to walk anywhere/eat anywhere. Far enough away that you're not hearing the bars from your own balcony. Super private balcony that is RIGHT on the ocean for the perfect white noise. I also dried a lot of my laundry out there and nothing was blown at all. We took advantage of the stocked water sports cupboard and the blender! We love having a place to cook and everything was easy to use and worked very well.

Exhale!

This was a return stay at a lovely property. Our primary goal in booking a condo is ocean access and this property has a wonderful beach within walking distance. Second goal is a condo that is clean and comfortable. This condo is spotless! Incredible view, very quiet, easy parking, easy walk to town. And we VERY MUCH appreciated the beach chairs! Thank you for a lovely weekend!
