I must say that with all of the times that we have visited the Hawaiian Islands, we have never stayed in a nicer place. This was the first time that we vacationed in a house and not in a resort hotel. I don't think that we would ever stay in a hotel again in Hawaii. The best part about staying here has to be the location with an unobstructed view of the blue Pacific ocean and the awesome Hawaiian Sunsets. Just having the pleasure of listening to the ocean waves breaking as we rested on the Lanai and later in the master Bedroom at night was very peaceful. Closeness to the town for shopping and dining was great and the people were very friendly.
Royal Sea Cliff one of the best and nicest property's to visit and just a note that it may have been more cost effective making the reservation directly!

Beautiful property - absolutely loved our stay here. Quiet resort, gorgeous ocean views, & large patio. Easy drive everywhere & can walk to some restaurants/stores within a mile. Kitchen is well stocked with appliances and cookware. Inside the condo is very open and comfortable for a group. Would definitely recommend highly & would stay here again!

Condo was well equipped in a super quiet complex. Loved that you could open the sliders and sleep to the sound of the ocean without traffic noise or loud neighbors. Covered parking close to the condo without stairs for easy load and unload of luggage. Would stay here again.

We stayed in this beautiful condo with another couple for 5 days. The condo itself had the absolute best location and ocean view. We enjoyed the large lanai with multiple seating areas. The inside of the condo was very roomy and comfortable. The two large bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths were perfect for 2 couples. The pool table was a very nice extra. We will definitely recommend this condo to our friends when traveling to the area!

All good - loved Val ... but we did have issues with TVs ... and it was difficult to negotiate getting in and out of the dated tub enclosure - maybe alert those guests over 60 of age about this :-)

Everything was perfect!! I would highly recommend this property! Amy was super helpful with check in and questions throughout the week. The location was fabulous - beach, ocean and location to Kailua. The house was so comfortable, clean, well stocked and I really just want to live there. :). Coffee on the wall in the morning, reading in the floaty tube in the pool, games on the deck in the evening...it just doesn't get any better.

This is a small studio with a King Bed and a couch that makes a twin bed. The King Bed has 3 inch foam pad on top of mattress which makes so you feel every movement of other person The sheets need upgraded very old and scratchy. Towels are good. Beach towels and toys were great. This is small unit only one chair to watch tv in not in bed. Only about a 2 feet of useable space around bed. Good for only a couple with small child. Not great for 2 adults.

Property was nice enough. Would like instructions on what needs to be done for check out. Maybe a list of what is available and how to operate tv. Nicely accommodated. Had lots of extras you just have to look for. Marc was great with instructions for entry. No need to check in with resort. Overall it was good.

This is a great condo, close to both pools, parking, and downtown Kona. Couple this with great ocean views and sunsets, makes it an enjoyable place to stay.

The photos do not do this property justice. My friends and I were blown away when we walked in. The wrap-around patio feels so luxurious, and the views are breathtaking. There were 5 of us staying here, and there was plenty of space/sleeping options for all of us. We also had a slight parking issue when we first arrived, and we were able to get ahold of the property manager within minutes even though it was after regular business hours. Not super close to any great beaches, but only a 10-15 minute drive North provides good options. Overall, I loved this property and how easy it was to get in touch with the property manager when needed. Would absolutely stay here again!

This unit is only one mile (easy walk) from downtown Kona. Good location for the drives to the north, south or east island. The view of the ocean on the balcony provided a restful background for meals. The host responded quickly to all questions. We will return to this unit in the future. Thank you.

The westward views from the large deck are amazing! Unobstructed postcard views of sunsets every evening. The unit itself was spacious but a bit outdated and weathered. The deck is really the best part of the unit. The location was great and about a 30 minute stroll into downtown Kailua Kona.

We spent several days here and the home was perfect. The wrap around lanai was a great place for sun bathing and enjoying the beauty of the ocean. The home is fully stocked, has 2 lovely bedrooms, and even a murphy bed so it would easily accommodate larger groups. You can hear the waves from the master bedroom - so peaceful and relaxing - and the living area is the ideal place to watch gorgeous sunsets. Would absolutely stay here again!

The unit is lovely but the lanai is spectacular. As I write this, I am having morning coffee and watching the surf. A gentle tropical breeze carries a wonderful floral scent and the doves are announcing sunrise. Apart from WIFI that needs an upgrade, everything is perfect!

The unit is lovely. The bed is a little hard for my preference. The patio and outdoor furniture are great. The management company is TERRIBLE. We arrived on a Saturday and discovered the bathtub drain was clogged. I tried to clear with the plugger, which only brought up a bunch to black gunk. I texted the management company at 9:44 pm. They replied that they would advise the local team. At 2:47 am, they texted that a plumber out later that day. Upon returning to the unit Sunday afternoon, the shower was still clogged. At 1:55 pm, I texted and called to check on the status of the plumber. Finally, at 4:59 pm, I received a text saying that a plumber would not be available until the next day. They only communicate via text. Despite asking multiple times to have a supervisor call me, I never received a call. They offered me a $100 refund, which I declined. Then they offered me $175 and offered to move us to a unit at another property with a golf course view. I declined both. They asked me to email my pictures of the tub. When I emailed, I copied VRBO. VRBO was great!!! They refunded me the cost of the two nights I could not shower without standing in sewage. I never received any additional communication from Grand Welcome. Luckily, the plumber came on Monday morning.

The pictures do not do this condo justice as everything is exactly how it appears but better! The location was perfect for me as it’s close enough to get into town (it’s even on the Kona Trolley line) but far enough away that you felt completely at peace without the noise and congestion that comes from being right in town.

I've stayed at the Royal Seacliff for the past 3 decades; this unit has nice views, but not the best. Spacious, quiet and nicely air conditioned. The linens for the Murphy Bed smelled horrible and we had to wash, the floor was super dirty and there was one roll of toilet paper for 3 people for 3 nights. They also only provided laundry soap for about 2 loads of laundry, which seemed stingy. The shower needs updating. Overall, with all of the additional fees, seemed overpriced.

We have stayed here before and the second time around was as good as the first time. One of the big pluses of this place is the lanai where you get a fabulous view of a sunset and the ocean. The condo was clean and well suited for our needs. Definitely would consider a stay at this place the next time we visit Kona.

My friends & I really enjoyed our stay here and were sad to leave. The condo was nice & clean & the AC was amazing. The resort was nice and quiet which made the stay so much relaxing. This place also had 2 separate pools and I enjoyed the ocean views from them. Also close to restaurants and stores and amazing beaches. Highly suggest this place. I only suggest some cosmetic paint touch ups, but overall would recommend this place. Mahalo!
