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!

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 The unit itself was spacious but a bit outdated and weathered.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.

Recommend this location to everyone. Views are spectacular.

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 view can not be beat. The lanai is the selling point of this unit! Watching the sunset from the lanai each night was wonderful! Great updated kitchen with all amenities.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 6 night stay at this oceanfront condo. The lanai is very large and private and affords breathtaking views of the sun setting over the ocean. The unit has been updated, except for the bathroom, which is showing its age. It's functional, but we had difficulty with the bathroom sink clogging and not draining. Management dispatched maintenance within 24 hours, so we found that service to be very responsive. That said, the sink was better, good enough for the rest of our stay, but not fully properly functional either. The place is very convenient to restaurants and shops and the buildings and grounds are well maintained with beautiful tropical landscaping everywhere. Overall a really great experience and if/when we return to Kona, we're looking for this place first!

The best part of this unit is its lanai, its huge and has a great view. The unit is mostly updated, except for the bathroom and the doors/windows that are still original 1982 vintage that took away from the rest. The bed and pillows are also very old and uncomfortable. The outdoor furnitures ate also need to be replaced, although still functional. But the main reason for low score is the management service, their answer to every question was a polite no. We visit one of Hawaiian islands annually, and have always been able to check in early, check out late or at least hang out by the pool, but none were accommodated, and they even said no beach chairs or umbrella is in the unit, which was not true. If not for the poor service, i would have rated the lanai 5 stars, the unit 4 stars. The complex is also a mile away from town and 10 minutes from a open market, both are walkable. Very little noise from Alii, which is a busy street, so overall we enjoyed our stay, and loved the great sunset views.

Only complaint, bed and pillows were too hard for my liking.

Could not have been happier. Wonderful property-clean, quiet, centrally located and safe. View from massive patio/lanai is amazing.
100% would stay here again.

This is a very comfortable condo. We chose this property for its large oceanfront outdoor space. We were not disappointed. Most of our time was spent outdoors on the patio. The condo had everything we needed. We had an issue with a defective fan on the building next to ours making a horrible noise ever 5 minutes or so. We contacted building management and the problem was taken care of.

Kona perfection
My girlfriend and me decided to take our first trip to Hawaii and we looked tirelessly for the perfect place to stay while on the Big Island. I can say with overwhelming confidence, that we certainly found it. The condo itself is stunning with the lanai being the main attraction. We spent every morning out there with our coffee and every sunset with a glass of wine. You get a PERFECT, unobstructed view of the sunset every night. The kitchen was also wonderful and well stocked. As a result, we stayed in many evenings, bought groceries and cooked. There are many local grocery stores and markets to buy supplies. The bedroom was comfortable with plenty of closet space and breathtaking views. Living room was also great with its large television and coffee table. The A/C worked well too and we found that we certainly needed it since it was quite hot/humid while we were there. All in all this place is perfection and I can’t recommend it enough!

Upon check in, we noticed part of the door sensor (for the A/C) was on the floor (and A/C not working). After explaining the issue to five different people, it was my resourcefulness that repaired the sensor before the A/C tech showed up two days later.
The condo itself is nice and in a great location, however the broken legs on the patio furniture made three out of the seven pieces unusable (definitely not reflected in the pictures on the website).
Once we got past those issues, we came to a rude awakening on days 5-10 by a JACKHAMMER being used for a renovation in the condo immediately beneath the unit, which continued for 4-6 hours everyday. The staff at the front desk said it was an approved renovation and the Property Manager should have let us know (whether or not that was in fact the case, I am not sure).
The view of the ocean, and the incredible Kona sunsets were nothing short of spectacular, and the grounds of the complex were beautiful. The beach items that come with the condo are a benefit, but like other things, they could be improved compared to the seriously rusted and decayed chairs that are currently there. The other beach items were nice and were greatly appreciated on our trips to the beaches.
The condo suited our needs for our trip (besides the JACKHAMMERING), however a few improvements would make this property outstanding.

Really beautiful spot. Great big lanai, ocean view, and well stocked kitchen. In terms of recommendations: the gate key never worked correctly, the air conditioning was a little finicky, and the patio furniture is getting a bit weathered (one of the lounge chairs collapsed on me while I was laying on it—I’m not a big guy!). Not a huge deal, we really enjoyed our stay and appreciated the beach gear!

Everything it promises to be!
This is a perfect place for couples who want a gorgeous ocean front view with a very large lanai to layout on and relax, and I do mean large!
I would guesstimate you could host 8-10 people (or more) comfortably on the lanai if you wanted to. I know I enjoyed spending every night on that lanai watching the sunset as it faces west so be prepared to catch the green flash if you are lucky!
Two pools are available, one of them is a "quiet" pool meaning typically no kids and this lanai is looking down on that pool, so noise is pretty minimal, but really most of the noise from below you is drowned out from the noise of the ocean crashing into the lava rocks.
The kitchen appears to be recently renovated with newer appliances and the host offers a great variety of kitchen accessories to make cooking a cinch, just add groceries.
The location is awesome, you are maybe 1-1.5 miles from downtown Kona and this place is near a app-based bike rental stand so you can grab one of those and cruise down, or just walk down Alii Dr.
Parking is pretty straight forward and located on the 2nd level with an elevator to get you to the 4th floor (where the unit is).
I would absolutely stay here again 100%

Just right
My wife and I enjoyed our romantic get away for just the two of us. The single bedroom unit at the Royal Sea Cliff was perfect, we enjoyed the large private lanai with the lounge chairs and furniture. The unobstructed views of the ocean and sunsets were fantastic. Close enough to Kona shops and stores, yet far enough away to not be near the crowds. The quite pool was nice, no screaming kids.

Bathroom is in need of a renovation and glass doors almost impossible to slide. Experienced issues with fridge and AC intermittent which was annoying.

Wonderful Experience
The property is top notch and the views are incredible. The location is great in between Kona and Keauhou. Only negatives are bed is a bit old and more HD channels would be nice but who's watching TV when you're in Hawaii. I would 100% stay here every time I come to the Big Island.

Great View, Location and Unit!
We loved our stay! The corner deck was the perfect place to relax in the mornings and evenings. The sunsets and sound of the crashing waves had us wanting to stay home instead of venturing out. Our only problem was that the tub would not drain. We called for service and we were still standing in water during our showers. However, it was not a deal breaker, and we would recommend this property to others

Not for the noise sensitive.
The complex was well maintained. The unit was very nice. Updated and clean. The deck did have a beautiful view overlooking the ocean and the quiet pool. The employees of the Sea Cliff were all very nice and professional. But... we could not open the bedroom sliding door at night or sit on the patio to eat at the table because on the roof of the units below the covered part of the patio were 5 exhaust fans that ran 24/7. The fan unit closest to the patio (about 10 ft below) was making a really loud clattering noise. We called maintenance and were told the fan units were 36 years old and that the bearing was probably going out. A few days after we reported it to maintenance they did try to fix it, but the fix only lasted about 24 hours and then the rest of our trip we simply had to put up with the noise. It was really a shame because if it weren't for the noise which you could hear above the crashing waves the unit would have been perfect. So, if you are at all sensitive to noise I would not recommend this unit. If noise doesn't bother you the unit is great.
