Kona Condo

We stayed in D-12 from Aug.4-12. Alex was great in providing information about local restaurants, tours, and shopping. The condo has everything you need even snorkel equipment, beach chairs, beach bags, and cooler. This condo is located within walking distance to most shops, restaurants,and farmer's market. We will recommend this condo to anyone that is going to Kona, Hawaii. Thanks again, Alex for all your help.

We made our first trip to Kona, Hawaii and had a fabulous time. The condo couldn't have fit our needs any better. The view was first class. The location was superb. The condo was tastefully furnished and was so well-supplied that we felt right at home. It didn't feel like we were in someone else's home and it didn't feel like a bare-bones rental. It was perfect for us and we would gladly stay there again. The extra touches made all the difference. The complex itself provides a beautiful pool, jacuzzi, BBQ area, and parking (which we discovered is quite important). Thank you for such an awesome vacation spot!

We've stayed at D-12 twice now, and it is our condo of choice at Kona Reef. On our first visit, we were impressed with the decor, the location, and the attentiveness of Alex and Michel. The second time was no different. Not all condos are created equal. There are those at the Kona Reef that show no pride of ownership. Alex and Michel have pride of ownership, and it shows....big time! We will be back.

We've stayed in 4 units at Kona Reef and D-
12 is the best. Alex and Michele have put a
lot of work and a lot of themselves in the
upgrades and decor. The unit is very well
equipped and everything is good quality.
The appliances are all new.

The Reef is a great location. Walking
distance from everything. D-12 has the
added benefit of a bedroom that is not
adjacent to the bedroom in an adjoining
unit. Nice and quiet with the exception of
the sound of the surf, which provides the
best back yard imaginable! We have 2011
booked for a return stay.

We have one more night in Alex and Michelle's beautiful Kona Reef condo and we are wishing we could stay longer! It has been a wonderful 2 weeks and we have loved every bit of our stay. The condo is so well equipped we lacked for nothing. Alex's welcome phone call was nice and not something we normally expect. We'd love to stay again next year, but the calendar looks like it's already booked for the times we would be interested in so we may look for another Kona Reef unit.

There is no doubt about it, Alex & Michele's condo at Kona Reef is a real find. We've rented condos through VRBO in many locations and this one truly lives up to its promises. It's clean, up-to-date, and has everything provided you could ask for. But the best part about it is the splendid view -- the dolphins, whales, turtles, and even the cruise ships are part of the fun. We wish the pool was heated... and that's our ONLY minus. We loved being able to walk to all the local restaurants and shops & the Farmer's Market.

We stayed in Alex and Michelle's condo in 2001 and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We had everything you could possibly want for three weeks. In 2008 we were looking for a place to stay once again and called upon Alex. He had part of the time available and helped us seek more time with another owner to remain within the Kona Reef complex until his condo opened for us to stay once again. We have stayed in many of the different units at the Kona Reef over a span of the last fifteen years. We highly recomend the Duncan's beautiful condo, it's in a very beautiful location. They have done some upgrading and are always improving their condo for a welcoming, attractive and comfortable stay. We feel their unit was our favorite. We love Kona and thank you Alex and Michelle for making our stay always a pleasure.

Date of stay 12/20/2008-01/09/2009 This was our 14th holiday period stay at the Kona Reef, so we really must like it here! The closeness to the Pacific, the short distance to the town center with it's many restaurants, shops and places of interest make it the ideal location for the Big Island holiday maker. Over the years we have stayed in various ocean front units at the Kona Reef, this being the first time we booked directly with an owner. And we definately have to give Alex & Michelle 11 out of 10 points! The condo more than lived up to the site presentation (all photos were accurate). Furniture, accessoires and coloring fit perfectly with each other. The kitchen was well stocked, and as hobby cookers, we certainly appreciated the fine collection of herbs. The available binoculars enabled us to catch ocean activities. And yes, whales and dolphins do swim past!! A large and comfortable bedroom and a friendly bathroom added to the comfort.
Alex & Michelle were with us all the way; immediately responding to our pre-trip questions, welcoming us by phone on arrival and phoning again before departure. Only critque -- Alex, that plastic table on the lanai should be changed! We sinply had to find something to moan about! Our deposit for our next trip has been paid, we look forward to it very much.
