John's place is a great home base for anyone visiting Kihei, or Maui, really - it has really easy access most food in Kihei, and is sooo close to the beach. We didn't even really use the pool there, since it's so close to the beach. The amenities were great (Brita filter, two beach chairs, Netflix, and the air conditioning in both the living room and the bedroom).
We actually stayed in four different locations while in Maui (Kahului, Hana, Kihei, and Lahaina), and this spot was the most memorable and felt the most like home. All in all, if you're staying in Kihei, this place is the place to be!
PS - John is one of the most communicative hosts I've talked to on AirBNB, and is super fast to respond. Also, the onsite contact / caretaker is super friendly!
