Jenn's place was clean, super close to the beach(right across the street), and close to anything you could possibly need(restaurants, grocery store, bars, and the local markets) . You can wake up catch some sun, see the waves, and then do any local activity possible.
We were able to rent bikes downstairs at the Maui Cycling Club, they were super helpful giving us directions to beaches we could bike to.
I highly recommend staying at Jenn's place, it's definitely worth the 10hr+ flight from NYC!
