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!

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.

The property had amazing ocean views from the huge lanai. We enjoyed watching whales and dolphins from our unit. The condo had everything we could need and more. So nice to have the washer and drier. Also appreciated the multitude of beach towels. I will recommend this place to friends and would stay here again.

this property is amazing. no better view of the ocean! no obstructed views & patio was very spacious and private. multiple seating options. condo had everything needed to make meals. lots of beach toys & chairs no cooler. condo had beach towels for use. close enough to town if you wanted to walk but it is not as close as you would think. we took uber about $7-10 one way but parking starts at 25.00 so uber was a great deal!

Loved being close to the water. The view isn’t a full view but it’s still a good one. Spacious patio. The pool and view from there was wonderful also. We utilized the bike share close by which made a quick trip to nearby restaurants. Otherwise it’s just over one mile down the road. Great coffee place close by, Green Flash.

We could not have asked for a greater view. The large wrap around large porch area allowed all eight of us lots of room when watch for whales or when the cruse ships came in. The pool table was the favorite activity in the evening when we were not out watching the sun sink into the ocean. Just gorgeous and make sure you video it. We highly recommend this luxurious property to all. The only comment was from the young adults that could not log into the wifi because the special character was a period and they totally missed it on the instructions. The 69 yr old had to show them how it's done.

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!
