The place is even better than the website pictures show it to be. The condo is only a few years old and the furniture is extremely nice. The owner was very helpful and communicative over the phone and email and the whole thing went very smooth. No hidden charges afterwards either. The view was spectacular, the beach on the other side of the street, and shopping was walking distance. I liked it better because it was not too close to the city center were louder people stayed, but not too far that you felt isolated. Couple of blocks away from the best upper class resorts on the big island. The grass was golfing quality, and the gated community was excellently kept. Flat panel cable TV in every room, attached garage (we parked our car in the garage which was very helpful with the boys, although now the website says for storing personal stuff only, may want to ask about that, although outside parking is right in front of the condo anyway) , I can go on and on.
The website has other communities on the big island and some properties on Maui and elsewhere. I have not tried those, but if they are anything like this community, then you can't go wrong. Surprisingly, the prices were among the cheapest. The deal that we got, which was $125 a night, with 7th night free, beat anything out there, including the single hotel rooms they had available in cheap resorts. We didn't even use the second bedroom, although I let the boys ransack it just for fun :)

My personal tips
Key
The key is located in a box attached to the door, and requires a code to open to get the key. Opening it can be tricky. Don't be afraid to call the owner. He is nice and will guide you through it. Of course he may have changed the check-in mechanism by now.
