Going to Maui for the Maui classic basketball tournament over thanksgiving. Taking a group of ten family members. Three families. Six adults. Plan to kite around the games.

Would like to rent a large house.

What size kites should I take? Boards? Where is the best spot to kite? Where to rent a large house?

Need to be near chaminade where the tourney is played.

Google 'maui map' and see these spots for yourself.
Maui invite is in Lahaina - nw part of island.
The kiting in November is either at Kite beach (next to airport) or in Kihei (sunset beach).
Depending on how much you want to spend - your best bet is probably a couple of condos adjacent to eachother in Kihei.
Check VRBO,com for condo rentals on the beach. If there's no wind you can SUP, body surf, etc.
November is not trade wind season, so winds are not 100% predictable like summer.
If your a full size adult, take 8m - 12m.
Chances of waves are 50 - 50.
I would take 2 kites (9, 12) and a twin tip, unless you're a surfboard snob.
There are 3 shops by the airport where you can rent surfboards for a day or 2.
Naish, Cabrinha, second wind.
