We just concluded a five-night stay at John's place in Kihei, enjoyed it very much, and would highly recommend it to those looking for a comfortable and quiet space, in a convenient location, and at a superb value! John is a gracious and responsive host, as evidenced by the nice welcome amenities, prompt replies to all queries, and clear instructions for check-in, as well as recommendations for local restaurants and activities. Check-in was a breeze, the keypad code worked seamlessly, the AC was already turned on in advance of our arrival, and the space is overall bright and welcoming. The kitchen is well-equipped with everything you'll need, the bed and couch are both comfy, books and board games are provided, plus TV's with active cable accounts and streaming options. There's even a ukulele you can strum! Kihei provides a good jumping-off point if you desire to explore Maui; it is less than 30 minutes from Kahului airport, you can be at the Haleakala summit in circa 2 hours or drive over to Lahaina in 40 minutes. Even so, you could easily be tempted to never leave the local area, the Kamaole III beach is less than a 5-minute walk (and practically empty on weekday mornings - enjoy it with the extensive beach gear that John provides) and there are several local restaurants and shops within walking distance. The Wailea resort area is less than 10 minutes' drive, in case you are looking for fine dining options (make sure to book a table in advance!). All-in-all, you cannot go wrong in choosing this location for your Maui visit!
