John's place is AMAZING! The view from the balcony is so scenic, and being right across the road from the beach is fantastic. Also, Kihei is fairly central and within a 20-40 minute drive of many major attractions.
His place is very family friendly, since they have 2 bedrooms, one with a king bed, and the two twins are long, so any combination of travers and children (ranging from babies to adult children) will easily be accommodated at their place. Also, they have 8 full sets of dishes, which is *really* nice to avoid running out of plates and bowls after every meal.
Communication with John is great, they respond quickly (keep in mind the time zone difference with the mainland!), and helped me figure out how to use the coffee maker (essential after a long flight!).
