Bargain hunters who stumble across this small three-story condo complex of two-bedroom units will think they've died and gone to heaven. The beachfront units are older, but many of them have been renovated. Some have marble countertops in the kitchens and all have outstanding views. But never mind the interior; you'll want to spend all of your time outdoors—in the shady lava-rock lobby that overlooks a small pool perfect for kids, or on gorgeous Keawakapu Beach just steps away. Light sleepers should avoid the rooms just above the neighboring restaurant, Sarento's, but do stop in there for dinner. Pros: far enough from the noise and tumult of "central" Kihei, close enough to all the conveniences. Cons: "older" can sometimes mean a bit shabby; nondescript '70s architecture.
