A deux chambres deux salles de bains bord de mer direct condo avec une salle à manger véranda.

We just stayed in this unit for 11 days. We have stayed in a few ocean front 2 bedroom condos in Kona over the past 10 years. This one was the most expensive and most run down of any that we've stayed in. You can do better! I don't usually write comments, but this condo is way too expensive for the shape it is in.

Positives: (why I gave it 2 stars)

GREAT wifi internet! The best I've had in any condo.

Good view off the lanai

Beach chairs and umbrella were top of the line

Easy to book and we got our refundable deposit back right away

...but that's about it.

Condo was not nicely decorated. Many blank walls. The beach towels were old, faded and small. The bedrooms didn't even have clocks. Why is the king size bed in the small bedroom without the on-suite bathroom? It felt dirty, in need of a deep cleaning. Windows were filty (yes, ocean front is hard to keep clean, but looks like they haven't been cleaned in a while!)

But this was the kicker: When I inquired about a late checkout, I was told there was an hourly charge. I checked availability and no one was coming in after us for 10 days. For the amount they charge, they could have 'given' us a hour or two. On arrival they lock you out and at precisely 4:00pm you can get in on your arrival date. Why not let your customers in early if the unit is clean? Our flight arrived at 10am that morning. Just doesn't seem customer focused to me.

I would not stay in the condo again. There are many other ocean front 2 bedroom condos in Kona with the same view and less money. Even in the same complex.

Would five a 5 star but, the refrigerator mildew smell and taste ruined our food and ice. Time to replace the fridge.

Location and view cannot be beat! Furnishings and decor a bit ragged. Great lanai was big enough for all of us to share at meal time.

This unit isn't as well stocked as others we've rented at kona reef. Bring your own toilet paper and paper towels.

We had a wonderful week on the Big Island. Kona Reef is a great location, 5 min walk into town, 5 min to Magic Sands beach. The condo was well equipped and it was nice that they provided boogie boards, beach umbrellas, coolers and chairs. Our kids loved the salt water pool and it was wonderful hearing the crashing waves every night. We will definitely be back!

We've stayed at the Kona Reef six times now and this was the best unit. Located ocean front in the north end, it had the most fabulous views from the lanai and both bedrooms. It had all the amenities we needed. Mahi was great to deal with. I will definitely stay here again.

Ideal location that is easy walking distance to all the shops and restaurants. Beautiful pool. Parking. Everything we needed was in the condo - beach chairs, boogie boards, drying rack for suits and towels, etc. Also, the view was amazing! This vacation rental could not have been better.
