My wife and I had a pleasant 4-night stay in Jim's place in early September! The condo was in a gated community with nice amenities. We were super close to the pool but unfortunately we ran out of time to use it. We just had too many things to see and do!! The unit was very clean, comfortable, modern and well maintained and decorated. Quite a few other useful things for beach use including a small ice chest with wheels and nice beach towels. The reserved parking place was maybe 30-40 yards away but you can park about 20 feet from the front entrance while you load and unload all your 'personal baggage' easily while there :-) - haha! The directions received were clear and easy to understand; we had no need to contact our host for assistance during our stay or trying to locate his place. Also had no unpleasant surprises once we arrived or during our stay.
We did not try to walk to the ocean which was roughly a 15 minute walk. But we were able to drive to a free parking area near Lava Lava Beach Club, which was a short about a 2-3 minute walk to beach. Also did some beach time at Hapuna Beach too, best if you leave most valuables back at condo for that stop as I've heard that beach can have some crime issues.
