Jim & Kristi's place was clean, spacious, well maintained, and located in a very quiet and beautiful gated community. It included all amenities, e.g. washing machine and dryer, as well as beach towels, snorkelling equipment and boogie boards which was great. We wish there had been tea and coffee so we wouldn't have had to go shopping on our first morning there. The gated community aspect can be either a plus or a minus: you're asked to pay extra ($20/day) during your stay just for the right to live there behind those gates, which gives the whole place an air of exclusivity; but if you arrive after 6pm and cannot check in on time, you are basically barred from accessing the restaurant and pool and treated as if you were trespassers by the restaurant staff who will refuse entry. Not Jim & Kristi's fault obviously, but a rather unpleasant experience, especially upon arrival. Directions were confusing if you arrive from the north of the Big Island and need updating.
