Kona Reef F13 - Nicely Renovated - Ocean View - Free WiFi, 3 minute walk to town

You have just found your vacation spot in Paradise! Sit back and enjoy the spectacular, crystal blue and balmy Pacific Ocean.

This one bedroom, one bath, Ocean View condominium is on the second floor of the F building with fabulous ocean/sunset views. It is wheelchair accessible; there is an elevator nearby.

This resort is a mere 30 feet from crystal-clear tide pools where turtles actually frolic in the waves, and about 100 feet to Honl Beach: a picturesque white-sand beach cove right next to the condominium.

This means you have a front-row seat for seasonal whale watching or troupes of spinner dolphins that play year-round in the water right in front of your condo. And facing due west, you’ll enjoy spectacular sunsets almost every evening from the pool and BBQ are while you dine by the sea, or on your private lanai.

Also positioned right next to the shoreline, the Resort’s recently renovated salt water pool and Jacuzzi is just a few steps away from the unit itself; as well as the four immaculately-maintained gas barbecues in the dining cabana adjacent to the pool.

Complete convenience, Hawaiian style!

The Kona Reef is walking distance to the charming old fishing village of Kona, which includes the local market, quaint stores & shops, historical sites, an open air bazaar selling fresh foods and local crafts, and many restaurants, from the fine to the funky and everything in between.

Investigate further to find an excellent selection of top-quality, licensed vendors offering romantic cruises, glass-bottom boat tours, sailing, scuba dives, and of course, the deep sea fishing for which Kona is world famous (Kona is the marlin capital of the Pacific). Or if you like to check out the lay of the land, horseback riding, volcano tours, helicopter rides or coffee tours – another famous part of Kona.

This unit is absolutely perfect for couples seeking to vacation in comfort, luxury and bliss. (And for those who don’t vacation in complete serenity, a queen-sized sofa bed is available for kids of all ages).

Besides a full kitchen, there’s an in-unit washer and dryer, A/C, iron/ironing board and hair dryer.

General Review
We booked this property because we wanted to be close to our friends. Generally, the property is pretty good. The proximity to the restaurants and shops is the best part of this property. The pool deck is good, the view from the deck is excellent. The actual room is not impressive nor clean. Who ever is cleaning should be fired, the room and all of its items are gross. No way to sugar coat this, there are just so many areas they need to be deep cleaned that are not being addressed. The cable tv does not work, the accessories provided are worn or broken. Just know you’re paying for location, not the room experience.

Not updated in 20 years, dark, dirty,
We arrived to a dark hall and unable to see the key pad, had to get a flashlight to get in and to use several appliances. Rooms dark missing extension cords, unable to secure patio door, screen door fell out of track and very difficult to operate. bedding required washing prior to use, floors and closet floors filthy. trash under bed. lamp switches would not work only two spoons in kitchen. the view is the only positive. bedroom is next to busy noisey road. Inadequate cleaning supplies, fixtures falling off walls It is a condo from the past with everything worn and barley working. The complex ihowver is very nice and there are many nice units that are kept up by owners. The units owners are in florida and haven't been to the property in 20 some years per their maintenance person and they avoid any expenses to update the unit unless needed (washer/dryer) flooded the unit with the prior guest there, so it was replaced. Beware of this lower priced unit..there is a reason.

I love staying at Kona Reef. The property is exceptionally clean. I enjoy how close it is to town. The views from the condo are exceptional. Thoroughly enjoy seeing sunsets from the property and hearing the conch shells blow as the sun goes down into the ocean. I cannot say enough about this property. I highly recommend. I and Property Management was always available and easy to reach.

This was a nice place to stay. It was very clean and had beach toys for guest use. I did need to contact the owner about wifi not working. He was very quick to respond and Jim helped immediately to get us the correct account. I do recommend renting a car if you stay here. There are many beaches you will want to visit that are not in walking distance. I would stay here again.

Loved the property but not the unit.
Traffic noise was pretty bad. The maintenance guy had to show up twice. Once to try to fix the cable tv, which he couldn't and the other to fix the router and to reset garbage disposal which wasn't working. Otherwise the unit was functional if not fancy.. The common areas were well maintained including the pool.. The location is hard to beat. I would stay at the property again but not that unit. .

Outdated, Poorly Maintained!
The place was smelly, it had strong musty smell, it was very hard to sleep at night because the AC is in the living room and the bedroom had one dirty fan. We were very concerned about mold issues. Curtains were ripped, balcony screen door was dislodged. AC & fan filters were filthy. Kitchen and bathroom were not properly cleaned. Mattress is dated and very uncomfortable. Basic stuff were missing like beach towels and wine opener! The pictures of the L shaped sofa at VRBO site does not match the actual smaller sofa in the condo! We contacted the owner, he sent the maintenance guy and cleaner two days later, they tried their best but it really requires deep cleaning and better maintenance. We feel that we wasted few days of our trip dealing with all of that and looking for another place, but everything was booked. When we had no choice but to stay at this place I asked the housekeeper to come clean the place but she never responded. We’re expecting a partial refund but we haven’t received anything yet. VRBO offered us two days at a hotel, even though our reservation is five nights, but we couldn’t find anything that has a fridge & kitchen. I emailed VRBO twice inquiring about their promise for a partial refund as the second option and called them but no response yet!!!

Overall it had a great view and was ok. Lacking in the kitchen cooking utensils. Frying pan was so gross I wouldn't use it. Can opener wouldn't work, and the coffee pot is only a little 4 cup size. Slidingg door wouldn't lock, however called to have it fixed and he came right out. Worked once. View and grounds are lovely but condo needs some care. No knobs on table lamps to turn them on. Had to mess with the bare metal to get one on.

Decent location. Old conditions
The host responded when I let them know the water heater was leaking. Appliances such as coffee maker are old and stained. The place is dirty and needs a deep clean . I had to clean the bathroom before using as there was a ring around the tub with lots of grime all along the tub. Kinda gross. Apartment has a good view and the complex has a decent pool and jacuzzi. Highlight of the property. The complex is full of retirees who stalk anyone at the pool. Not really within walking distance from much of anything. I liked that the unit had a washer and drier. I was disappointed to see the sofa in picture is not what was in the unit. I did not want the golden girls sofa that was there. Bedroom is dark and doesn't have a/c. A/c is on a knob timer and very loud. It's a window unit and not centralized. Not terrible but not great. Needs to be thoroughly deep cleaned.
