The place we got met our needs. It is more remote than staying downtown in Kailua, but you're closer to other island's attractions, like the black sand beach, for example. The place was quite roomy. We had an unexpected surprise of free movie rentals. The insulation of the condo is such that you can easily hear outside sounds (including turkeys' gobbling and kids on the lanais of other units) as well as inside movements between the floors, but when you're not trying to sleep away your vacation - it seems minor disturbance in the mornings.
