We loved this condo! It was everything we expected per the description. It was very well stocked. Plus a great location. We loved sitting on the balcony watching for whales and dolphins. Just the right amount of space for a family of four.

I had reasonable expectations of our apartment at the Royal Sea Cliff, the property looks nice from the outside with well maintained gardens, good parking, but on entering our unit we were met with quite a few deficiencies.- the air conditioning is very old and loud.- we found 6 dead full size cockroaches, two in the master bedroom on the floor by the head of the bed, and 4 in the living room by the pull out sofa.- when it rained water leaked from the cement ceiling in the master bedroom and from a crack in the wall also in the master requiring towels to be put down.- the tub in the master and secondary had no working plugs and when we got plugs the pull feature was completely calcified so we had to fill with the shower wand.- there was no vacuum cleaner only a well worn broom, and no mop either, and the property manager refused to provide one so I ended up buying one at the Ace hardware and leaving it there.- the furniture looked like it came from a garage sale, and by far the worst was the master bed mattress which was completely worn out and sagged to the middle.

A great base of operations from which to explore the west side of the big island. Plenty of room for 3 people. The full kitchen was a huge plus since there are limited food options within walking distance. Great communication from the host with lots of tips for new visitors to the area.

Great location, close to many places like downtown, several beaches suitable for snorkeling. The unit was clean, well maintained. Property management was excellent, provided good communication and instructions on check in and check out. Would come back in the future.

The host replied very quickly and even let us extend our stay an extra day with no hassle! Perfect size and amenities for my husband and I. It was awesome to have a full kitchen, washer and dryer! This was a 10/10 stay for us!

The place was very clean, and you can tell they've given some thought and provided some necessities to make your trip easier: laundry detergent, paper towels, trash bags, etc. It's very nice to not have to go hunting for these things and can instead enjoy your visit.

Very clean and nice studio. I really appreciated the full-sized washer-dryer rather than a small stackable unit. All of the other appliances, like the dishwasher and fridge, also were high-end. Gorgeous views of the sunset from the lanai. Royal Sea Cliff all the way around is definitely a nice facility. I really like the location on Alii Drive. It's close enough to town to walk (less than 2 miles) but far enough away that you don't get all of the tourist traffic and congestion.

Our host, Tom, was fantastic to deal with. Check in and check out were a breeze. The condo worked very well for our family of 4. The resort is beautiful and maintained very well. 10/10 would recommend and would absolutely stay again!

We had a very comfortable stay. We enjoyed breakfasts and occasional dinners on the lanai. Appreciated the basic supplies in the kitchen (sugar, coffee, oil etc) and feel these should be offered as standard and kept in stock.

Just the lighting in the living room was dark and the lighting in the kitchen over the sink too bright. I couldn’t figure out which switch turned on the dining room lighting. Another stand up light next to the chair in the Livingroon would have been nice. Other than that, a great place to stay.

We enjoyed our stay very much! It was quiet, relaxing, had everything we needed,& in a good location. Tip, the easiest way to find the unit, after entering the parking garage, is to just park outside the unit, and walk up the steps, rather than finding/using the elevators.

In a location with often astronomical prices, this condo offers a terrific value with a full kitchen, Washer dryer in the unit, super nice furnishings and a comfortable bed within a hotel-like complex right on the ocean. Marc is very responsive. My only slightly negative comment is the "oceanfront" aspect of the listing is a little misleading as while the complex is oceanfront, the unit is not, although there is an ocean view somewhat from the right side of the lanai. But especially for the price this is a terrific unit and was much better than what we expected overall. Would definitely stay again.

Rm access code didnt work. Never were ablento access the unit. Middle of the night nowhere to go, response time was awful we finally left to for a place to stay. There should be someone LOCAL and or onsite to let us in the unit!! This place uses combo locks for access..really?

We were all shocked at just how amazing this place is. You couldn't ask for more. The property itself is visually stunning, and the large, water-front, wrap-around outdoor space is unbelievable. This is probably the only place we'd ever consider renting again because it's hard to imagine ever finding something better with more access to amenities, points of interest, etc.To put it in perspective, I can barely remember where we stayed at our last trips to the island because they were just places to sleep while we enjoyed the island. But remembering this trip will always start with "that awesome VRBO we rented."

This property was very nice. When you walk into the unit it is just what you see in the listing photos. The pool is right by the ocean. The unit is easy to get to and is on the second floor.

From the first point of contact with Marji to our extended check-out time, Marji was incredibly accommodating and provided very detailed information about her home and the surrounding areas to help us plan a fantastic annual family trip. Her home was just stunning and provided every comfort and luxury. Needless to say, the views were like no other.... just breathtaking! We felt spoiled every minute. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us and we hope to visit again soon!

We had a great time at Marji’s property: it was a wonderful place for our adult family and family friends to catch up and relax! Fantastic pool, wonderful views, and two comfortable, luxurious primary suites. The other two bedrooms—the not-en-suite queen and the studio were comfortable and spacious but less luxe. The kitchen was great for entertaining and cooking in, and we really appreciated how responsive both Marji and her manager Amy were!

Our unit had us all set for the first half of our island visit. Kitchen was nicely set with a variety of cooking tools; beach gear was available; comfy beds; the unit was roomy! We would come back again.

We have stayed here several times over the last few years. Always our first choice. This is a unique property in that it combines a great location to activities and restaurants, with a beautiful home, and with an enormous private yard right on the ocean with a pool, gazebo, hammocks and crashing waves. I do not know of another property that did not "sell" their backyard to some developer. This property is truly unique. The local property manager is a gem - friendly and very responsive. We had an issue with the coffee maker the first morning, we notified the property manager at 6 am, and we had a new coffee maker by 9:30 (after the stores opened)! We are already planning our next visit...

It had hair in the drawers in the bathroom. In the shower. Also was very dusty. The bed sheets felt dirty. Paying 150 cleaning fee was a bit much for it not being clean. Thank God I had time to wash the bedding and towels before we stayed the night.

The room was in a great location, close to shops and restaurants although a bit far to walk to anywhere. It was very clean, slightly outdated, but very nice place to stay. Perfect for 2 guests or a couple. Nice balcony with ocean view.

We had a wonderful 7-night stay in the Big Island. This was a great home base highlighted by the beachfront backyard. It was great spending time out there watching the waves out playing catch with the kids. The home is also centrally located, about 5-10 minutes from a number of shoppes, grocery stores and restaurants. Would recommend to anyone looking to get away.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay. The kitchen was well stocked. The bed was comfortable. The pool was pretty nice.The only complaint from me is that there were a number of dead cockroaches in the unit when we arrived. And a few live ones. I realize it’s to be expected in the climate on some level.

The overall stay was good. Floor wasn't clean. First day my feet were black.Cockroaches really upset my stay. I called they said a service would happen, I did not see anyone come. They may have though when we were out. View from Lanai did have trees but also was of the parking lot. Unless you have a condo near the ocean you will have a long walk to the pool. Some upkeep to the condo would be needed for me to stay again. The king bed was very hard and bedding was older, and poor pillows. Furniture was very dirty.It was fine, thankfully Kona is so lovely, that we were out most of the time.

Perfect little place to land every day after exploring the area. The building is beautiful & well maintained. The host of this unit was very responsive with the few questions we had. Close to downtown but far enough away that you aren’t caught up in the vacation traffic.

My family and I arrived on a Sunday late evening. It is customary for my husband to check everything before we actually get settled. Immediately upon entering the villa my husband found the sliding doors in the main room had a broken lock. I attempted to call the after hour maintenance number and unfortunately had a really back connection and was unable to resolve the issue that night. I ended up going to the local Walmart and purchasing shower tension rods to put on each side of the sliding door to prevent someone from being able to enter during the night. The complex was very responsive the next morning and did sent someone to repair the lock. My main concern was that the unit should have been checked more closely to ensure all the locks were in good working order. The villa was exactly as pictured, appeared clean and the beds were comfortable. It did notice that there were not any luggage racks in the closets for our suitcases. I prefer to not put my luggage on the floor. The kitchen was well stocked, however there was very limited cleaning supplies. The stove top cleaner bottle was empty, but they did have a can of Comet. I did not use the Comet as I was unsure if this was safe for the stove top. There was a slight mold/mildew smell when we initially entered the villa. The air conditioner did work well, so perhaps that helped with the smell. We did find 1 roach in the kitchen and 5 in the 2nd bedroom bathroom.

Spent nine days at the condo. Amazing location and views. Lots of room and good amenities, enjoyed the pool table. Tree in the front of the deck detracted from the view but really not a big deal. Enjoyed watching whales and dolphins.
