Kona Reef

We just wanted to let you know that your condo exceeded all of our expectations. We have traveled all over the world, but I donÂ’t think we have ever enjoyed a condo a much as yours. What a location and view. You are so lucky to own such a place and we are so fortunate that you let us rent it. We also loved visiting your coffee farm. Thank you again. We will be back.

Dave - We absolutely loved your place! Hope we will find you with space available next time we come to Hawaii. Dan was soooooo nice - showed us around the farm - he's quite knowledgeable as far as flora goes. We didn't need the ac - it was delightful listening to the waves crash on the lava rock. The fact that we didn't have your unit for the whole 9 nights worked out fine. Found a B & B in Volcano and a wonderful one in Hilo, one in Puako and then King Kam for the last night. Perfect. Did the Luau the night we left - our flight was at 10:30 pm - horrible time, but the luau kept us busy until it was time to go the the airport. I assume that the cleaners found everything in order. Only glitch - well actually 2 glitches - the screen door decided to get off track, and the smoke alarm went off for need of a new battery. Luckily it was late afternoon and not the middle of the night! Scared me half to death! (Sorry-KonaDave)We really enjoyed our time in Hawaii. Thanks again.

Aloha, Staying at your vacation apartment was the most favorvite time for our American vacation. We were very hurried seeing all of America and was very much relaxing at the Kona Reef. The cost was very good, less than a vacation apartment in our country and so much larger and finer. Thank you very many for giving us many information for places to see and visiting your farming

I just wanted to let you know we thoroughly enjoyed our two weeks at your condo. The location was excellent, we consider it one of the best in the complex. The unit was very well supplied with all the comforts of home. If a bucket and mop, in good condition, could be supplied, it would make washing the floors and sundeck a bit easier. (Now we have them- Dave) That was my only suggestion, everything else was perfect. Hopefully, if we travel to Kona again, your unit would still be available and we have taken a card to pass on to anyone we know who is headed that way. Thanks very much.

We are back in the chill of Iowa with great tans fading fast. Wanted to thank you for sharing your condo with us. We enjoyed our stay tremendously and hated leaving. We have been to Kona 3 times before but this so surpassed staying in a motel room. Thursday we drove out to your farm, but didn't find anyone around. Tiki Bar looks fun. I did pick up some oranges off the ground. Best orange juice I ever had.

Anyway, everything was great and we left only a couple of towels and the bedding to wash, dishes were washed and put away & took out the trash. Left a couple of paper backs on the shelf someone else may want to read. Sprayed every couple of days, so no trouble with ants. Assume you will be mailing the deposit refund to us.

Thanks again, will not hesitate to recommend your condo to anyone going to Kona and hope to return someday.

Hi Dave, Just want to let you know we had a great time In Hawaii and in your condo. We really liked your unit and especially loved the view. I want to thank you for the use of your condo. Ps Dan was great, hooked us up on the Fairwind and had a great time. (Dan is our farm manager-KonaDave)

We absolutely loved staying at your condo in Kona (11/26-12/3). What a great location and great complex. We are actually curious when the "low season" is, in case we want to make another dash over to Kona in the coming year. Thanks!

Dave - thank you very much for the stay we just had at your Kona Reef condo. It was in very good shape, comfortable, well equipped, nicely furnished. We were very happy there and came home to Portland, Oregon to rain as usual. I wanted to drop you a note not only to tell you how nice things were but also tell you that you might be interested to know that the fan in the living room did not seem to ever completely turn`off. (Now fixed-Dave) I can't think of anything else that you might want to know other than folks are doing well to keep it clean and almost free of bugs. The birds were not even a problem. We enjoyed all the upgrades to the grounds, pool and the security was great. Thank you again.

Dave, Sorry I didn't get back to you before we left but it was rather hectic planning our last minute trip to Hawaii...I just wanted to say the place was AWESOME! It was clean, had a great view and location, and I want to thank you again for letting us stay there...We even added another night-it was so relaxing!

When I come back to the Big Island, I will definitely try to stay here again!...Thanks again!...

Hi, Dave! We had an awesome time in Kona. It's very sad to be back in the cold in Utah. I told my sister that she would go through depression after coming home and I think we both are!

I'm sending you a couple of photos. We went to eat at the Big Island Grill before taking Joanne to the airport but it was closed on Sunday. So, since I didn't leave until 10:30 that night, I went to dinner at Bubba Gump. It was very, very good. Thanks for everything and we look forward to going back!

From the moment we arrived at Kona Reef Resort, we knew this was going to be a trip we'd never forget. The location is absolutely unbeatable — we're talking literally steps from the ocean, with the sound of the Pacific waves lulling us to sleep every night. We spotted dolphins swimming right outside our window on our first morning, and I honestly just stood there in disbelief. The condo itself was spacious, spotlessly clean, and had everything we needed — a full kitchen, laundry facilities, and a comfortable living area that made it feel like a home away from home rather than a cramped hotel room. What really set this resort apart was how easy it made our entire vacation. Downtown Kailua-Kona was just a short walk away, so we left the car parked and explored fantastic restaurants, charming boutiques, and lively local entertainment on foot. The concierge helped us book a snorkeling trip where we swam with manta rays — an experience our family still talks about. The hot tub at the end of a long day of adventuring was the perfect finishing touch. If you're looking for the ideal Big Island base camp that blends natural beauty, comfort, and convenience, Kona Reef Resort is it. We're already planning our return trip!
