One of South Maui's better deals, this inviting boutique property offers style and functionality with a personal touch, and it's less than a mile from the beach. The four rooms, which have ocean-view lanai and private entrances, are as attractive as those at the exclusive resorts, but at a fraction of the cost. Rooms have kitchenettes, and the two-bedroom cottage comes with a full kitchen.
The complimentary welcome basket is a thoughtful – and tasty – touch. The inn is at the southern end of Kihei, bordering Wailea.
