I was looking for a reasonably priced place with an ocean view for just the two of us for our 30th anniversary. It turns out it was a place for four.People weren't kidding when saying it has everything you could possibly need. It's absolutely stocked.Will definitely be returning. Couple video walk throughs..

Second time I have stayed in this complex. We like the location, pool area is really nice. Hot tub was never hot while we were here, but the pool was warm enough to swim in. Location is great, owner was responsive and helpful. Property was clean, but could use a little update. I would stay here again for sure.

The owner was a great with communication about check-in/-out, and ideas for things to do, restaurants, etc.
The location was great for driving or even walking anywhere. The Kona shuttle bus was nearby as well. Even the small rocky beach across the streat was a fun place to go read, relax and take a dip.
It was a quick drive to Kailua or other Island locations.
The apartment was well equipped for the kitchen (great knives!!!) and beach gear. The pool area was a great place to relax and grill dinner, too.

For the price, meh.
The kitchen faucet was broken, and there was no air conditioning as advertised; the indoor temperature remained at around 81*-82*.
Otherwise, it was okay.

This condo was in a great location to restaurants & shopping in Kona. The condo had everything we needed. Coffee, soap, toiletries(extra toilet paper), plenty of towels. We loved the turkeys & roosters out back even though they were scared of us.

Everything you need is provided in the kitchen. the balcony and living space are very comfortable and the 2 bathrooms are very nice. The twin beds in 1 room are very practical and the pool and hot tub are great. Owner was very responsive to all our needs.

We had no a/c the first night and was moved to another and might I say a better unit the following night and for the remainder of our stay.

We had a comfortable stay at this condo. The pool and surrounding area is beautiful. It’s a convenient central location on Kona side. The owners were pretty responsive. All appliances were working well. The beddings and decorations are beautiful. I felt the kitchen could be stocked with more utensils and a cooler if someone has to do lot of cooking like us. The parking is free and reserved, however we mostly had trucks parked against the boundary (probably maintenance folks) which was making pulling out hard - something owner to take up with properly management, not really a big deal. Overall, happy with our stay for the price we paid.

We were very pleased with our stay. This was our 1st trip to Hawaii, and I had communicated with Ed and he was great with tips. Shops with in easy reach, and lots to do on the big island, all with in driving reach. The place itself is very well kept & well stocked with every thing that you can think of. Towels & beach gear - even snorkels & a cooler to carry your drinks or lunch if you need to keep it cold for a day trip. We stayed 8 days & we had so much to do & see that we didn't have any time to enjoy the pool that is with the property - which also has a gas grill if you wanted to grill something to eat for dinner or lunch. Overall an A+ rating for our stay here.

Our family recently visited Kona and truly enjoyed the accommodations. The location was conveniently located to many restaurants and activities on the island. The unit was spacious and the pool area was fantastic. We would definitely stay here again.

Our family of 4 had a wonderdul stay at the Royal Kahili. Amazing location across from the ocean and close to Keauhou and Kailua town. The pool grounds were beautiful. A lot of tables and chairs and loungers to hang out and bbq. We enjoyed many hours at the pool. It is a quiet complex. The condo itself was cozy and clean with comfortable beds. There were beach towels and chairs to use which were much appreciated.
Royal Kahili is an older complex built in the 70s. Definitely shows some signs of age. The parking lot is small and can be tight if you have a larger car. But we would stay here again. We stayed for a week and were sad to go. This place is a hidden gem.

The condo was the perfect size for a family of 4. Well equipped with everything we needed to make meals and also items for our beach days (towels, chairs, umbrella). We had no issues whatsoever with the condo itself; our only issue was the rooster(s) we heard every morning starting around 4:30am.

By far the best VRBO our family has rented! Super clean property, super white towels and sheets, property is nicer than the pictures.
My teens picked this property because of the 80’s Hawaiian vibe and we loved it, so fun! Great location!
The extras like the beach chairs, beach towels, snorkel fins, and games in the property made our trip! Thank you! We will be back!

The complex is beautiful! Starting with the parking space, right by the elevator. From there an easy walk past the Koi pond to the condo. Once in, it’s easy to cool the unit down because there’s excellent cross ventilation. There are plenty of fans, and AC too. The furnishings & decor are very nice. I wish I had read all the items provided & could have packed much less! So much of everything!
The pool & grounds are very well maintained. We grilled several times. The lanai has an amazing ocean view. It also overlooks the pool which I enjoyed because our grandchildren joined us mid trip. We are Alaskan, so they really enjoyed being in an outdoor pool. My husband also liked the hot tub. The only downside, is the property next door is undeveloped, but has roosters who crow before dawn. But you can’t hear them with the lanai door closed.
The thoughtful owners provided very nice beach, chairs, coolers, etc., for enjoying the ocean as well. This unit is perfect for anyone looking for a relaxing easy Hawaiian vacation.

This condo is spacious and has a great layout and view. My 9 &4 year old grandsons swam in the pool everyday. We found everything we needed in the kitchen. There are some pool and beach toys available to use. Location is within 5-15 minute drive to several nice beaches and shopping villages. We had a lot of fun!

Our family had two nights here when we arrived in Kona. Pool area was great to hang out. Condo was good size, just dated. Loved listening to the ocean from the balcony (though the street between condo and ocean can be busy). It was a great spot for us to hang out and have very quick access around town.

We were stunned when we entered the Condo. It’s like we flashed back to the 70’s. I am not sure what they consider upgraded. Everything seemed like old. The carpet was dirty. The tile in the bathrooms were cracked and had mold and the place looked like it had been painted by a child. Booked for four nights and stayed one night. No response from property manager and the owner said he had no involvement in the place and hung up on me. No refund. Out $1600!VRBO was no help either.

The condo was as advertised and the pool area was an oasis after a long day on the island. Great location near Kona! The VBRO app was a challenge however, as it would not let me sign in to reply to the host's messages.

Awesome view and great location-airport,shopping, and dining all within easy driving distance. Good communication with the hosts and easy check in. We were able to walk across the road to watch surfers riding the waves and beaches were just a short distance away. While having dinner on the Magic Grill patio one evening, we were entertained by whale’s playing off shore. Thanks Kristi and Jim for sharing your condo with us.

So cozy! Right across from the beach. I miss having coffee on the balcony and lidtening to the birds chirping, or petting random cats in the parking lot lol its a very comfortable place. The bed in the master is honestly more comfortable than the one i have at home. Very close to downtown. Parking spot is a little tight! Kristi was very communicative and friendly. We plan on coming back next year. Theres also a sign in book that you can see who stayed and what they did, great resource when youre trying to figure out local things to do.

We had a great time on the Big Island and the stay here made it even better. It was the perfect home base, from the well-stocked kitchen to the pool to the AC to the great selection of books. The kitchen even had a crock pot, which was great for starting a meal and heading out for the day. During our stay, we ran out of trash bags and new bags were delivered the next day. Great place for a family of 4!

We are a family of 4 from Honolulu and this was our first time to Kona. The unit was in a good location and was nice and spacious. A/C worked great and we don’t have central A/C in our house so it was a real treat. We cooked an entire Thanksgiving dinner in the kitchen. Having the master bathroom with big shower was super nice. Having the box of pool/beach toys was a nice touch. Our 15 year old and 2 year old loved the pool which was clean and a good temp. The only annoyance on the trip was the roosters in the woods nearby which start crowing at 4:30am!
Overall we really enjoyed and would stay here again. The unit really is big and open and has a comfy feel.
