OCEANFRONT DELUXE KONA REEF CONDO, WATCH THE WHALES, DOLPHINS AND SURF

We just returned from a wonderful stay at Alice and Bruce's Kona Reef condo. Everthing written about their place was accurate to a tee. It was immaculate, was right on the water -a direct ocean front view, and just a few minute walk to the restaurants. The Kona Reef also has a lovely pool and BBQ area if you are in the mood to just hang and cook at the condo.
There are many restaurants nearby but our favorite was Jackie Rey's Ohona Grill. It's very close and we walked up to it. I suggest going right on Alii drive until you get to Yama's (rental place) and walk up the hill. It will take about 10 minutes tops.
If we return to Kona one day, we will definitely stay at Bruce and Alice's. They live locally and are available if you have any needs. Our only need was asking where he bought the tasty macadamia nut brittle that they supplied in their welcoming gift basket.

A huge Mahalo to Bruce and Alice for providing the perfect home for our vacation!!! Five nights was not enough time to enjoy the condo and that side of the island. We have stayed in many VRBO properties on the various islands and I would have to say this one was by far the best!! Location was excellent, close to walk to town and condo had so many wonderful supplies!! It was such a nice surprise to find a fully stocked kitchen, spices, baggies, paper plates, fresh sponge, etc. The closet was loaded with sunscreen, towels, ice chest, chairs. Although, when we return, we will bring our own beach chairs as the ones supplied were "child like" size and one was slightly broken. We fell in love with the Kona Reef complex and are hoping someday to be able to afford to buy a unit there!! The BEST Mai Tai ever can be found at the beautiful open-air bar next door at the Don the Beachcomber bar in the Royal Kona resort. Great prices during happy hour 4-6. We also rented a private 21 foot boat from Eric at Kona Boat rentals. Fresh fish can be purchased at Bite Me fish market at the Harbor.
I cannot say enough good things about D-26 and we are looking forward to spending more time there in the very near future!! Again, Bruce and Alice..thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!

The location of this condo is perfect! We enjoyed sitting out on the deck with our coffee in the morning, watching surfers and hearing the ocean waves. In the evening, we watched beautiful sunsets from the deck and the lawn below. The condo is a short walk to Kona for dinner and the local farmers market - try the apple bananas, they are delicious. As noted by earlier reviewers, the condo comes fully stocked with beach gear. This is a lovely place to stay!
