PH24 is a beautifully remodeled Penthouse Beachfront Unit at Sugar Beach Resort set along the 5-mile long crescent shaped shores of Sugar Beach in North Kihei. Our beachfront Maui condo unit immerses you in updated luxury and the spirit of the islands. PH24 looks out on the golden sands of Sugar Beach on Maui’s south coast – the sunniest and driest part of the island – and the endless ocean horizon beyond.

PH24 is a direct beachfront unit. It is not a pool-facing unit and is not set back from the beach requiring a long walk from your unit to the pool or beach like many of the larger resorts on the island.

The thoughtfully chosen furnishings and décor in this recently remodeled top-floor penthouse unit will envelop you with the island lifestyle. The unit is equipped with everything you need for a great Maui vacation including beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers, beach mats and beach towels.

WHAT YOU'LL LOVE:
The View: The moment you step inside PH24, you will be greeted by a breathtaking view of the turquoise waters of the Pacific Ocean that is unmatched by most other condos on Maui. Our beachfront unit is directly on the ocean.

Relax on your private lanai with a Mai Tai and enjoy a front row seat to watch outrigger canoes glide by, green sea turtles swimming in the surf, magnificent humpback whales as they return each winter to enjoy the warm Maui waters, and some of the best sunsets on the island. While several units have one wall on the lanai that juts out and obstructs your view, ours does not.

Beachfront Resort: Lounge on soft white sands, walk the 5-mile long undeveloped beach, or enjoy stand up paddle boarding, kayaking, and snorkeling on in the warm waters of Maui’s south coast – just steps from your unit.

Luxury Accommodations: Relax and unwind in our completely remodeled beach front condo unit with your own private lanai. Embrace modern accommodations with a king size bed with luxurious Hotel Collection sheets, fully-equipped kitchen with solid surface (Caesarstone) counters and Bosch appliances including a built-in fridge, induction stove top, and 30” wall oven, 2 flat screen TVs (50” 4K TV in living room and 40” flat screen TV in the bedroom) with upgraded digital cable and Netflix, 40” soundbar with 5.1 digital surround sound with subwoofer and Bluetooth connectivity in the living room, and complimentary Wi-Fi and long distance calls to the U.S. and Canada, and a queen+ American Leather sleeper sofa – the most comfortable sleeper sofa we could find, and we tried them all.

ACTIVITIES:
Beautiful sandy beaches, spectacular sunsets, and exciting activities are yours from this beautifully remodeled Maui Beachfront condo. Enjoy lounging on soft white sands, taking a beach walk along the 5-miles of undeveloped beach, stand up paddle boarding, kayaking, or snorkeling in the turquoise waters steps from your unit on Maui’s south coast, or simply relaxing by the pool or relaxing in the hot tub and sauna.

Overall the unit itself was great. Really

Lovely apartment with a great view. Kind of surprised that we were asked to launder the bed linens and towels prior to our departure, especially considering that we paid a substantial cleaning fee in addition to the weekly rate. But we complied, fearing that we wouldn't get our security deposit back.

This is an excellent condo. It is very neat and clean; has a very comfortable bed; extremely well stocked kitchen; high end appliances; plenty of bath towels; is in a great location and has the most beautiful view. We highly recommend this unit and are so glad we made it our home base for our Hawaiian vacation.

Right on the ocean. The grounds and pool area are beautiful. The location is super convenient in the center of the island. The unit is very well equipped and is updated with new flooring, kitchen and bathroom. Furniture is attractive and comfortable with also comfortable bed and linens. Nice shower with plenty of places to hang towels. Great to have beach chairs, beach towels and cooler. We loved our stay.

Great property! Nice and clean. The bed was comfortable. The view was the best. Easy to navigate. The parking was easy to find. The property manager was excellent at responding to our request. No issues with our stay. The beach was so nice and quiet! I will say some of the surrounding restaurants closed at 8, so just be aware of that. Would definitely stay again!

The view from the unit is AMAZING. The sound of the ocean at night lulls you to sleep. The unit was clean and just enough space for us to be a family in. We did not use the resort amenities offered, we were in town for a wedding and to visit family. But will definitely do so on our next trip. The location of the resort is great. You are in very close proximity to the center of town. We were just so pleased with the unit. We will definitely try to book this unit again.

We had a lovely, quiet week enjoying the ocean. The condo is close to downtown Kihei and other things to do. It was our first time staying in Kihei and we enjoyed it very much.

We are so sad about the fire on Maui but we decided to still visit the island to show our support. The condo was lovely. The view from the condo & sound of the ocean is magical. The condo was clean & well stocked. The beaches are heavenly. Please do not hesitate to go to Maui, the island runs on tourism and the community welcomed us with open arms & asked that we spread the word - Please visit Maui!!

The condo was great! My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We toured the west side of Maui the first day we flew in - it was a treacherous drive at best. We did Haleakala sunrise on the first full day (Sunday) - it was amazing! On Monday, we drove the Road to Hana, going all the way to the State Park to the 7 pools and Banyon tree. Then drove back to the black sand beach and the lava tunnels. We snorkeled the next morning (Tuesday) and did an evening outrigger tour. Thank goodness we had a comfy bed to get rested up and a kitchen so we could eat good food. The views were breath-taking from the PH balcony! Will definitely come back if we return! Funny coincidence - our Cocoa Beach next-door neighbors stayed at the resort 2 weeks before we did! Thanks for providing this beautiful locale!

This was such a great space to enjoy a week long trip. The beach was right in front of us to lay out on, walk along and just enjoy the sound of the waves. The girls they have available are so nice to use and the pool was great to hang around while relaxing. Our condo was located in a great spot. Away from the business but only 10 mins from all the fun as well. Will be back!

This condo was fabulous and exactly as billed. The unit was updated, beautiful, and very clean. The view from the balcony cannot be beat. It was amazing to wake up and see/hear the ocean every morning. The location in Kihei is very central to everything on the island. We chose to stay here as we were doing things all across the island so it was an easy drive in either direction to get where we needed to go. I'll admit that Sugar Beach is not the prettiest beach on Maui, but I strongly recommend staying here if you want something centrally located. My husband would argue that Sugar Beach is the his favorite beach ever because he hates the sand and he could just keep his lounge chair on the grass, which was just steps to the water. The pool and hot tub were great as well and never very crowded. It is pretty windy on this area of the island and seems to get more so throughout the afternoon compared to the morning, but the breeze was often welcomed to cool down the hot sun and was never too much that I wasn't able to read a book. The unit had beach chairs, umbrella, boogie board and plenty of towels. The only thing we did not find that would have been nice is a cooler, but we were ablet to make do with hot/cold bags. Check-in/check-out was super simple and easy. We were given all the instructions/codes/etc that we needed and had no issues whatsoever. If we did have a question, the owners were very easy to reach and were quick to respond. I cannot recommend renting this unit enough!

PH24 was all it was advertised to be. Couldn’t be any closer to the beach. Enjoyed sunsets and amazing canoe races from the lanai. Condo was outfitted with everything you would need during your stay. Will be coming back.

The property was nice and clean,but it seemed that a neighbor was constantly opening and closing a sliding door which very loud in the unit we rented. This felt like went on from around 7:00 AM until about 10:00 PM daily. The unit itself was very well stocked as promised. The first and second nights we were there, there was a big storm and water did get in the unit at the bottom of the sliding door to the balcony as well as the fixed windows on either side. We did call the property manager and all he said was put down some towels, wring them out and wash them. He did not appear to be at all concerned. We just wanted to make sure that we were not held responsible for any problems. The check in process was fairly easy, but communication with the on duty person in the office was a bit of a challenge due to a language barrier that we were able to overcome. The on site activity center no longer has a computer so guests can print boarding passes, but the resort office is still telling guests that they can print boarding passes at the center. The location is very convenient to Wailea, Maalaea harbor, Lahaina and Kapalua.

Beautiful unit, well stocked with everything you need. Great views and even better sunsets. Couldn’t get the kids out of the pool… Thanks for the stay!

Unit was just as described. Absolutely beautiful views. Kitchen had all the cookware needed to make our meals along with the basic spices. 3 mile walks on the beach in either direction were amazing.

Nicely updated unit with the best possible view. Older complex but nicely kept up and very quiet. Warm pool and hot jacuzzi. Fast elevators and plenty of parking. Gets pretty windy though, skip laying on the beach and use the lounge chairs on the grass. Nice reef out front but you need to swim out a bit to get to it.

We recently stayed at this property and absolutely loved it. The view was just awesome, you just can't beat it. We've stayed at many places in Maui but this place was just awesome. The location at Sugar Beach affords the flexibility to travel to all parts of the island (Kihei, Kahului/Wailuku, and Lahaina). The bedroom could use better lighting but that's pretty minimal to say the least. Just an absolutely great unit and would love to stay here again.

Gorgeous ocean views and remodeled unit was very nice. Unit has everything you need to cook in, bbq at the common grills and go to the pool or beach. My wife and son had a great stay there.

My husband and I stayed here for two weeks for our honeymoon in Maui. Every time we walked into the living room or kitchen, we were blown away by the view! Neither of us really enjoy sitting outside on the lanai, but the floor to ceiling sliding doors have us the same perfect view. The kitchen was lovely and new (if you use the oven, just know that it takes forever to heat). There’s enough dishes to last several days. The bed in the bedroom was awesome and comfortable. We did not use the sleeper sofa. The location was ideal, and the unit was fantastic!

The rental was clean and as amazing as the photos and summary! The updates made to the unit were beautiful but still comfortable and practical. The rental had all of the accessories we needed to make our stay easy. The view was gorgeous! We loved spending our mornings and evenings listening to the waves. The location of the unit was very central to everything on the island and made it very easy for us to get to a variety of excursions and restaurants. We loved our time on Sugar Beach!

We had a wonderful stay. The location was great and the view was amazing. The condo was well stocked and had everything we needed for our vacation. It was great to have the bbq's available when we didn't want to eat out. We were able to rent boogie boards and book our deep sea fishing trip right on site which was so convenient. Thanks for the great stay!

My husband and I have had a beautiful vacation away from the usual day to day stresses of life. We commented each day how lucky we are to have chosen this condo from all the selections that we had. Perfect waterfront top floor full southwest ocean view! The amenites are all here plus that beach, well you will have to come and experience it yourself. The building I kept in prime shape and our unit the same. If your someone who worries like I do that if the bed and pillows aren't comfortable my sleep isn't good - no worries very plush king size bed and pillows for everyone! Thank you tonight hosts we appreciate all you did to accommodate us on our last day here, we will be back!

Shane went out of his way to assist us during some concerns we had regarding two hurricanes headed for the islands. He couldn't have been more gracious and we thank him! Luckily, the hurricanes went south and north of the islands and high surf was the only impact. The condo has such an awesome view you almost don't need to leave it to enjoy Maui. Any items of concern were quickly attended to by the owners. A great value on beautiful Sugar Beach.

My wife and I recently spent 10 days on three islands and our stay in PH24 in the Sugar Beach Resort was our favorite condo. The unit is well stocked with essentials for the kitchen and the beach. The decor has been updated by the new owners and it has a clean and well-kept look. You can enjoy the ocean view just off the lanai--which has a great table and chairs for dining or relaxing. The unit also has coolers for the beach or road trips, plus access to the Sugar Beach pool and barbecue area. We liked dealing direct with the owners, who always had prompt answers to our questions; some of the Sugar Beach units are rented through property management companies. The unit has AC, which was another plus in July! Great access to many Maui attractions and the airport from Sugar Beach. This is an excellent unit that provided a great location for our first visit to Maui; we would definitely rent again in the future.



June 2016
This was our six stay at Sugar Beach Resort, our fourth at PH24. This unit is comfortable and the view from the lanai is fantastic. Sugar beach is centrally located to a variety of restaurants, activities, attractions and stores. We will be back for another stay!



June 2016
We have stayed at Sugar Beach Resort 10 times over the years. This unit is one of the best. Huge California King bed, very comfortable. Brand new couch and large screen tv. The view is fantastic and it has everything you will need to have a great stay. We were there for 16 nights and had a great time. We will be back.
