We had an amazing time staying at James' place! The apartment was a good size for our family of 3 with a teen. James was very responsive when we had questions. The place was super comfortable and well stocked. But what I somehow didn't know beforehand was how close the lanai is to the water and how SPECTACULAR the view is, and how the turtles frolic in the waves RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE APT., FOR HOURS EVERY MORNING - please bring binoculars, like we did, so you can watch them AND the whales spouting and breaching all over the place between sunrise and mid-morning, when it finally gets a little too warm to sit out there, and you can tear yourself away and do other things ;-) We loved the location because it is quiet and well located to visit lots of different areas. 10-15 minutes to lots of good restaurants in Kihei. Not a lot within in walking distance, which suited us fine. However, our 6:30am snorkeling boat trip was a 5 minute walk away, which was perfect! We would definitely return!
