Such a beautiful place to stay! The complex was very well maintained, easy to get in/out of, and not far from many restaurants and shops. We really appreciated the arrival instructions sent via tex t

The apartment complex is good, with pool and clean and organised. As others mentioned it is quite and great for slowing down.
Apartment has everything you need from kitchen supplies to laundry detergent. With small kids it is always helpful to have another set of bed sheet mostly when staying more than a few nights... that was missing.
Only thing is the aircon/centra system needs a good clean!
We would come back to stay here again!

The place itself was a decent place to stay with pool and hot tub. It had everything we needed. The location is great, we walked into town for dinner and drinks. The communication with the owner was timely and helpful.

The only disappointment was with the room, definitely ran by property manager not by the owner. There was a constant howl that made a noise all the time, light switches for bedroom did not work. Most of all no working television it would not connect to the wi fi and when it did it would pause every 30 seconds. So spending a good amount of money we should be able to watch a movie or a kids favorite show. I should get money back for not having it.

The location is the best with a quiet lanai to enjoy breakfast, lunch, dinner and sunsets. The view is amazing. The kitchen is fabulous with everything you could want and the full size washer/dryer were appreciated. We had plenty space spread out. A wonderful Hawaiian retreat.

We had a wonderful stay at this condo. The views are beautiful and you can't get much closer to the ocean. The two pools both had views of the ocean (standing views) and our family enjoyed them each day. The lanai is very large and there is plenty of room and furniture for your family, although one thing to note is that the lanai is not in any way private. The condo had plenty of beach towels, bath towels, blankets, etc. Also included were beach chairs and ice chests. The beach umbrella that was provided was broken, but they promptly brought a replacement the next day. There was an issue with lots of fruit flies in the kitchen, but other than that the condo was very clean. We did have trouble getting in touch with the property management and left two voicemails that went unanswered, but we were able to contact the owner and they were quick to respond and assist. Overall lovely stay and we would definitely return.

We enjoyed our stay at this condo and enjoyed the ocean views and pool every day. Liked the upper floor location and parking garage was good. Nicely decorated with Hawaiian style art and very well cleaned. A few small things could have been better: no coffee provided and kitchen supplies were sparse. Headboard brackets broken so had to put towels behind it to not make noise anytime moving on bed. AC had a rattling noise that was pretty loud. Too bad the lanai sun shade system didn't work since it was very warm while we visited. The rental management Co used was not easy to communicate with. We got locked out on the last day after extending our checkout and they could not get us helped. We finally got in touch with the owner through the resort office who was helpful, but we almost were late getting to the airport. Overall was a good stay though.

Very nice property in a nice and quiet location. The condo is nicely appointed and has a private lanai. The bedroom was large and the bed was comfortable. There was an electrical plug that didn’t work in the bathroom. The kitchen had the basic tools for cooking and BBQ tools as well. There was a Brita filter in the refrigerator which was a nice touch, as well as convenient strips in the living room and kitchen for electrical and usb charging.The facility has two pools and a jacuzzi, although one pool and the jacuzzi were out of commission for a few days during our stay for maintenance. We asked if there was an umbrella or a beach umbrella, and maintenance told us to look where the beach stuff was. We already did. The written instructions told us to register our car. When we got there, we were told it isn’t necessary.

I truly enjoyed my stay at Royal Sea Cliff and would definitely considering staying here again! This unit was a perfect fit for my needs. It was nicely appointed with comfortable furnishings and stylish decorations. The kitchen was more than adequately provisioned with all that was needed for cooking and eating within the unit.
The lanai provided a gorgeous backdrop for meals as well as plenty of space and furniture to enjoy the day. The only thing I would have liked is the ability to cover part of the area by a shade or awning as much of the lanai received direct sunlight from late morning through the remainder of the day.
I was only on the Big Island for a few days, and did not get a chance to enjoy the pools at Royal Sea Cliff, though I could see them from the lanai and they looked very inviting.
All in all, a great place to stay on the Big Island!

We absolutely loved this rental! What can I say. Great location in Kona. Parking was never a problem. The unit was very clean and had everything we needed. The best thing was the wrap around lanai! We beautiful sunsets almost every night. Left the bedroom windows open to the sound of crashing waves below. Very satisfied stay.

Located about 1-1.8 miles just south of the center of downtown Kailua-Kona on Ali'i Hwy - this was an awesome spot on the west side of the Big Island! Incredible sunsets from the back porch (which wrapped around the entire corner of the building) and no road noise at all because of the distance from Ali'i Hwy to the unit - which is at the ocean's edge. We could hear the ocean from both bedrooms and it was incredibly relaxing and tranquil! We played pool on the billiard table almost nightly, used the fully equipped kitchen, and the washer and dryer regularly. Our family of four was quite comfortable in this spacious unit!!! We would love to have stayed even longer than the 8 nights we were there and hope to be back sooner than later! Mahalo!

This was our fifth stay at this property. Every stay ends with discussion about when to come next! The owner and the local manager are wonderful - communicative and definitely convey the spirit of aloha.
A five star experience, but with the privacy of a luxurious Hawaii style house, right on the ocean.

Hot tub not available and tv in room did not work first 4 days. Management replaced the remote but it froze every 20-30 seconds. Old tv is what I was told when it wasn’t working. Everything was clean that was nice and very roomy. Loud buzzing in unit. Management said it wad the cooler and nothing they could do. Difficult to sleep. Noise didn’t stop even with AC OFF.

We loved this place, not just the room itself, but the view and the location. The location allows an introvert to get their needed downtime. The location allows an extrovert to walk/drive just a mile or so to the life of Kona. Watching the sun set was something we enjoyed almost every night. Taking family pictures at the rocky shoreline and watched the sun come up behind us as we enjoyed the sound of the crashing waves!

Condo worked great for us. Close to parking and getting groceries. Pools and hot tub great. Just had to keep following up to get new refrigerator since it was not repairable

Overall the condo is great. I have stayed in this property as a timeshare owner numerous times. However this stay included lots of cockroaches, even though we were assured it was fumigated the day we arrived.
As a former resort owner I was surprised at the response from the rental company that no one came to inspect the unit for cockroaches after we voiced our concern.
We will continue to stay as timeshare owner at this property. The location is great. Close to the farmers market and restaurants.

This property touted as garden view, with the images which show that are misleading. The photo's in the listing have been strategically taken to not show the parking lot that you overlook and the backside of the next wing of the building.

We had such a wonderful stay! So much so that we booked our next stay before we checked out. We live on the opposite side of the island. Occasionally we like to stay on the Kona side for a staycation. Within minutes of stepping out onto the lanai, we saw 3 whales that seemed so close to the shore. I was blown away! So close that we could hear them blowing out their blowhole!
The condo is very comfortable. Great location, clean, and the grounds are beautiful. Looking forward to our next stay.
Mahalo!

We stayed 40 nights. It is a studio suite so keep that in mind if a lengthy stay. The unit needs some updating, the bathroom in particular. We made it work. The owner, Marc, was great to deal with. Communication was instant. You can’t beat the location and the resort itself is beautiful. Thank you Marc!!!

This place was fantastic! The property overall was really nice. The lanai was an absolute dream. We ate breakfast out there daily and spent tons of time watching whales and could even see fish in the breaking waves. Bring your binoculars! The furnishings inside were very tasteful. The kitchen was equipped with the cooking supplies we needed. We didn’t have a chance to use the pool and hot tub but they looked great from the lanai. I would definitely stay here again!

We've stayed at this property a few times now, but this was our first stay since the pandemic.
New owners since our previous stay and although the property was already fantastic, they've found a few tweaks and improvements to make things even better.
As other reviews have pointed out, as good as the photos are they really do not do it justice.
There is simply nothing negative to say about this place.
The location is stunning, watching sunsets from the garden wall is jaw-dropping.
The garden is immaculate, a very generous size, and very private.
The house is finished to a very high standard and the owners have thought of pretty much everything you may need while enjoying your stay.
If you need a definitive example of perfection done right, just stay at this property.
There is absolutely nothing I can say - however trivial - that is anything less than 10/10
Sitting in the hammock, with a morning coffee and an unobstructed view of whales breaching just a few hundred yards away........things don't get much better than that.
We'll be coming back (again) - staying anywhere else on the island would feel like a huge downgrade.
