One of the only hotel-style properties in Kihei, the three-pearl Maui Coast Hotel offers some of the best amenities in the area. The 265-room hotel has a beautiful pool, an on-site restaurant and pool bar, a modern fitness center, and a nicely maintained tennis court. Plus, it offers freebies like parking, Wi-Fi, and borrowable beach bikes. Rooms are traditional hotel-style spaces (not condo units) with flat-screen TVs, microwaves, and outdoor spaces, but decor is generic. Maui Coast is a three-minute walk from Kamaole Beach Park I, and within walking distance of local shops and restaurants. The nearby Aston at the Maui Banyan might appeal to travelers looking for condominium-style units, but the property lacks Maui Coast’s on-site amenities.

The Outrigger Palms at Wailea offers 70 contemporary mid-range condos scattered across a large property on a sloping hillside – however it’s set back from the beach, requiring at least a 15-minute walk to reach the sand. The trade-off for the distance is more space – the condos have generous living areas and lanais that are larger than those at comparable properties. While the property is light on amenities with just one pool and hot tub, it provides a decent option in Wailea for families whose budget is more of a priority than proximity to the beach. Those who do want to be on the sand should consider the slightly pricier Mana Kai Maui.

With 214 condos spread over two buildings, the Sugar Beach Resort is a solid, mid-range condominium resort. Rooms are individually owned and thus vary greatly in decor, but all have full kitchens and balconies and most sleep two to four guests. There's a saltwater swimming pool with a barbecue area, a koi pond, and a miniature putting green on-site, and it's just next to a part of the ocean that's popular with sea turtles and calving humpback whales. There's a cute and casual sandwich shop on-site for those who don't want to make use of their kitchens. Some guests have complained about maintenance issues throughout the property.

In an area full of large resorts and condo complexes, the five-room Pineapple Inn is remarkably tiny. This quaint, homey inn features four private rooms and a two-bedroom cottage and has beautifully landscaped grounds with a swimming pool and hot tub. It's not directly on the beach but the ocean can be seen from the rooms, and there are good views from the upper-level units. The cottage has two bedrooms and a full kitchen, but there's a minimum six-night stay required. If beach access is a must-have, check rates at Sugar Beach Resort.

With just 58 units, Maui Schooner Resort is one of the smaller properties in North Kihei, an area with many condo resorts. It's located just behind a park on a narrow beach, and features include a pool, hot tub, and lawn games like horseshoes. The condos have all the essentials -- a full kitchen, laundry, and private lanais -- though the decor is dull and the atmosphere is a bit uninspiring. Still, it could be a decent waterfront budget option. It's worth comparing rates with the also intimate Hale Pau Hana Beach Resort, which is on a much better beach.

A budget-friendly condo complex across the street from the beach, Maui Vista Resort has apartment-style accommodations and few amenities. Like most hotels in Kihei, this property is dated and its 287 units could benefit from a few upgrades. Still, units come with full kitchens, living areas, washer/dryers, and furnished outdoor spaces. Each of the property's three buildings has its own pool, two tennis courts, and outdoor grilling areas, but don’t expect traditional hotel amenities like a spa, fitness center, restaurant, or even daily housekeeping. Nightly rates are usually cheap, but we think there’s better value at nearby Kihei Akahi, which has nicer pools and larger condos.

The Aston Maui Hill's 140 apartments, while neither modern nor stylish, are spacious enough to sleep a family or other group. The pool is small, there's no fitness center, and the popular beaches are across a busy street. But you'd be hard-pressed to find a condo for this low a price anywhere else in Maui.

Aston at the Maui Banyan offers 140 condos in a great location in Kihei, right across the street from the golden-sand Kamaole Beach, and within walking distance of several shops and dining options. Guests should note that modernity of units vary greatly; Deluxe Suites have up-to-date, stainless-steel kitchens and large flat-screen TVs while Standard Suites have tired furniture, dated kitchens, and tube TVs (some have both tube TVs and flat-screens). Two pools, hot tubs, tennis courts, and nice gardens make this a decent option for those seeking beach proximity and large rooms at a fair price.

These south Kihei condos are set amid tropical gardens across from Kamaole III, a wildly scenic Maui beach park that's a great place to swim. The one- to three-bedroom condos, complete with full kitchens, are privately-owned, and while some are modern, others show wear. Nice on-site amenities include tennis courts, a swimming pool and a kids' pool, jet spas, and a weekly Mai Tai party. Travelers looking for a more intimate experience in prettier, less generic condos at comparable rates may want to check out the nearby Nona Lani Cottages.
