The view was fantastic! The ocean was loud, crashing waves, beautiful to sleep in. If you want to be near the ocean, this is your place! We saw turtles from the lanai every day. Add to that colorful fish. We also saw whales spouting and breaching in the distance. Kona is a magical place, but if you want to add to that magic, stay at KONA REEF A27! It is a short walk to Kailua Historic Village and the Kona Shopping district. We only rented a car to visit Volcano, everything else we needed and wanted was within walking distance. We loved our time in this space. It made our vacation absolutely perfect. I would *highly* recommend this stay. **Update 2025** We try to get to Kona every year for a thaw out from Alaska. Kona Reef is the only place we go-its FANTASTIC!! And now, D-37 has turned into our favorite unit! Beautifully designed, comfy, good kitchen appliances, and OH THE LANAI - if you need a rejuvenating stay at the Oceanside -literally a stones throw away - this is your place. 100%
Mahalo, Victoria — thank you for this wonderful review. We’re so glad the ocean, lanai wildlife, and whale sightings helped make your vacation perfect. It means a lot that Kona Reef — and now D-37 — is your go-to spot each year. We look forward to welcoming you back. A hui hou!
