Oceanfront condos aren't usually tailored to slim budgets, but you're in luck here. Named for the Mala Wharf roadstead where a string of pretty boats anchor offshore, this condominium complex offers small, reasonably priced, individually owned units in an older building located in the quiet part of Lahaina, away from the noisy, crowded downtown area but just down the street from Lahaina Cannery Mall, Old Lahaina Luau, several terrific restaurants, and Puunoa (“Baby”) Beach. One- and two-bedroom units benefit from full kitchens, oceanfront lanais, and a heated seaside pool. The drawbacks: Bedrooms face the road, which can make nights noisy, and some units lack air-conditioning (it can be boiling hot in Lahaina). You’ll also find units for rent on VRBO; the contact info below is for the professional management of seven of the 17 units.
