Fabulous condo and great location!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The property has a nice hot tub, pool and BBQ area. It is located right on the water and the view from the lanai is beautiful. You can walk to a number of restaurants and shops. The condo itself is spacious and has all the needed amenities such as beach chairs, snorkel equipment and a cooler. It was great having air conditioning, a dishwasher, and washer and dryer. We also appreciated the very clear instructions provided by the owner.

Magnificent surf.
Great views and A/C in living room and bedroom a big plus. The surf is right outside the lanai and the high top table a huge plus. Bedroom and bathroom were quite small but functional. Also a bit of a trek to the unit, but if you park on the 2nd floor indoor garage, it makes it a bit closer and easier when moving luggage.Used the beach chairs and beach towels which were great. Go to the four seasons for snorkeling (rent from Boss Frogs) - it was amazing - great facilities and felt like we were in an aquarium (snorkel along the shore reef) with many many fish and turtles!Its an easy walk into town. Walked to the dock and back twice each morning (4.6 miles) which made for a pleasant way to start the day.Shannon (host) was very accomodating and easy to work with and provided lots of ideas of where to go and snorkel. We just go back to Tampa Bay, FL and can't wait to come back!

Great Updates
This is a well maintained unit that is tastefully decorated. The bed linens, bath towels and beach towels were all high quality. The kitchen was well equipped with anything you needed to BBQ down at the pool or cook in the unit. We really appreciated the tall lanai furniture that allowed us to easily whale watch. Also this unit has a locking screen front door which allowed great air flow so we never had to turn on the AC. But speaking of AC this is one of only a handful of units that has AC in the bedroom. Parking is first come first serve however there was never a problem finding a space. But don't forget to put your parking permit on the dash be cause onsite management does check and leave violation notices.The hosts and maintenance people for this unit were very responsive and easy to work with. We will definitely be renting this unit again!

Top-notch experience
This was such an amazing place to begin our Big Island vacation! We spent three nights and wished it could be more. Clean, stocked, quick responses from management, fantastic location. It's just as wonderful as the pictures make it look and I can't recommend this place highly enough. I still dream of the sunsets on the Lanai.

A perfect place to enjoy your holiday!
I’ve stayed in this complex many times. Shannon’s condo is updated and has everything you need for a very comfortable stay. You can’t beat the sound of the waves, and communicating with Shannon is so easy. She’s a great hostess. It’s a lovely place to unwind, and to make a base for your big island adventures. I’ll be back!

Kona Reef 1BR Ocean Front
Ocean front balcony is wonderful! We loved the location so close to town, restaurants and shopping. The unit is nicely appointed with newer finishes and furnishings, very light and airy. It was very helpful to have the washer and dryer. The one thing that keeps us from rating this as 5 stars is the lack of cleanliness when we arrived. We arrived about 7:00 pm. The sheets and towels were clean but the room itself was not. The floors were dirty, spilled trash and dried banana peels under the sink, dirty dishes and kitchen linens had been put away in the cupboards, dried foods on the counters and floors and the bathroom floor and bathmat were very, very sticky and dirty. We contacted the owner and she said she would send her cleaning person over the next day. The owner was very easy to communicate with and responded immediately and scheduled someone to come by the next day. We chose to do a lot of cleaning ourselves before the cleaner arrived because we were very uncomfortable in the environment. We spent a good amount of the first evening and the next morning cleaning, then the cleaner arrived in the afternoon and finished. This property was rated very high when we booked it so I hope our experience was an anomaly. If this property is clean you will absolutely love your stay here!

Great view and location. Well appointed and comfortable.
We have stayed in this complex many times, and this has been one of the cleanest and most comfortable units. It's all about the view and they have a great lanai setup. The bed is extremely comfortable! The shower doors were a little wonky, but everything else was great and in perfect condition. Our friends stayed in a different unit and the owners gave them a long list of things to do before departing. Not the case here, which we appreciated. Who wants to clean a condo on their last day in paradise? Highly recommend

Nice, but a couple of concerns
While the property is nice a couple of concerns -
There was not a working smoke detector in the condo even though the listing indicates there is. The smoke detector had been removed from the ceiling. I contacted the owner and she said the handyman removed it to replace the battery. Not a good situation as I rented the place assuming there would be a smoke detector in working order.
There is no air conditioner in the bedroom so it is pretty warm. While there was a floor fan it does not provide the circulation needed.
