Kihei (North) Area

It’s amazing that you can build a condominium so relatively close to the ocean and manage to have virtually no ocean views. Units are very clean, and some have been upgraded more than others, but the price is hard to beat. Unless you enjoy road noise, don’t bother...

The resort has been lovingly renovated, and the rooms are very nicely furnished. Each unit is slightly different, but all are pleasant and clean. It’s across the street from the ocean, but the ‘Ilima building is very close to the road. The ‘Ohi‘a Lehua building has...

A quaint resort across the street from the ocean. Incredibly nice folks run the place, and they make you feel like visiting family here. Stand-alone cottages are scattered around homey grounds with lovingly maintained fruit trees, hammocks and a massage hale....

All these condo units face the ocean, and some are pretty close to the water. Overall, the units themselves are unremarkable, though a few have been updated. But their proximity to the ocean is excellent. In the 2/2s, the master bedroom is on the ocean side of the...

In north Kihei, this skinny, two-story walk-up condo building is sandwiched between two larger resorts. You’re right on the beach, but views are pretty marginal from all but the oceanfront units. The building is tucked away from the main road and is fairly quiet,...

This condo is in windy and dusty north Kihei with access to a wide, sandy beach. The building orientation affords some good views of West Maui at the expense of most full-on ocean views. The pool area doesn’t embrace the ocean like other resorts in the area. Rooms...

This large condo complex is in north Kihei. Views of the coast vary from nice to blocked. If you get an inside courtyard-facing unit, go above the first floor for better views. Most units we saw with the above agent looked adequate. Walls are thick and deaden...
