Pros: David is an excellent host. He was very helpful and checked in to make sure everything was perfect for us. Sugar Beach is long and great for walking. The condo was low key, clean, and well kept. The bed was excellently comfortable (new, not too firm, not too soft). The kitchen was well appointed with everything we needed for cooking. The lanai was blocked from the winds and lovely to sit and drink coffee and have breakfast. It is well located on the island for exploring West Maui, upcountry, and Hana. TONS of great restaurants and grocery stores nearby (thanks for the recommendations David!). There are beach chairs, towels, an umbrella, a boogie board and even coolers. A new washer and dryer came in useful! The grounds and pool are well kept with a lovely lawn to lay on.
Just a few cons to be honest: The air conditioning window units are loud and right by the bed (not a problem if you want to sleep with the windows open instead) but something to consider if you're a light sleeper. The parking space was tight (we had a mid sized SUV). The condo itself is on the smaller side (worked well for just my husband and I). The water off of Sugar Beach was not the crystal clear Maui water that we'd expected, more of a cloudy brown, but we loved walking the long stretches of gorgeous sand and had fun exploring the many nearby beaches. That being said, we really enjoyed our time and would recommend David and this condo for those looking for a splendid stay on Maui!

We recently had the pleasure of staying at a beautiful condo in Maui and I couldn't have been happier with my experience. The condo was not only stunning, but it was also immaculately clean and well-maintained. The views from the condo were absolutely breathtaking, and I loved being able to wake up to the sight of the sparkling ocean every morning. The location of the condo was also perfect - it was close to all the attractions and amenities in Maui, yet still provided a peaceful and tranquil retreat. The staff at the condo were incredibly friendly and accommodating, and they went above and beyond to make sure that my stay was comfortable and enjoyable. I would highly recommend this condo to anyone looking for a luxurious and relaxing getaway in Maui. It exceeded all of my expectations, and I can't wait to return for another visit.

This is a great place that is steps away from the pool, ocean, and sandy beach!

This was an excellent place to stay. We started each morning with coffee on the deck while listening to the crashing waves. After that, most mornings also included a walk on the beach. The condo is a perfect size for two, David is an excellent host and communicator. The location was quieter than some areas we visited which is what we look for. Great beaches, shopping, restaurants and food trucks all within a couple minutes of the condo. We really appreciated all the amenities and the beach chairs were so comfortable. We will definitely be returning to Maui in the future and we hope to be able to stay here again.

We enjoyed our stay, the beach and pool were great. Walk to a farmers market. The unit had everything we needed and we were happy to have a cooler and beach chairs to use. Great sunset views from the balcony.

Amazing oceanfront condo with amazing views. Sunsets were truly breath taking. We also were fortunate to see the whales frolic right out front of the complex. Older condo complex but well maintained. Highly recommend.

My husband and I had the opportunity to stay at this beautiful condo on Kihei. The condo is conveniently located on 5th floor. We had numerous opportunities each day to watch whale in the distance and fabulous sunsets for the balcony.
From the beginning to end of our 5-night stay, David (owner) was great to work with. This condo was very welcoming with all the amenities from home...including comfy bedding.
We would highly recommend this condo! If/when we return to Kihei, we would definitely stay here again...

We had a great 8 day stay in the condo. It is right on the beach with great sunset views. Close to Kihei and Wailea where there are lots of great restaurants and additional beaches to check out. Very close to Maalea where the excursion boats leave from (because Lahaina harbor was closed due to the fire).
Check in was easy. Condo was clean and well appointed. Really appreciate the beach towels, chairs, umbrella and coolers.
Underground parking for our rental, nice pool area and outdoor chairs.
Really enjoyed breakfast on the balcony with the view.
Would recommend a dish drying rack and trash can for the bedroom.
Wonderful stay-Mahalo!

Our stay here could not have been better. The unit has wonderful views, is well-appointed, and was the perfect size for us. Working with David was great as well! Driving is required to the busier parts of Kihei and Wailea, but doesn’t take long. Would highly recommend staying here!
May 2023
Loved the location at the end of the condos and away from the town. Comfortable and quiet. Will stay here again if we come back to Maui.

David made it easy! Thorough instructions before I arrived, he offered restaurant suggestions and a few things to do while we visited Maui. The condo itself was clean and the view from the lanai was perfect! Direct access to the beach from the property was also great.

Very clean! Cute and just the right size. David was very helpful and made everything easy for our stay! Maui was beautiful!

You cannot beat the location of this property! Every morning watching the sunrise while walking down the beach or doing some yoga in the sand was absolutely breathtaking. The break one needs from reality and work is at this property. Since we are vegan, finding food can be hit or miss, but having the ability to make all our meals and eat them on the lanai or on the beach front was perfect.
Our only downfall, and this is even silly to say, was the crashing of the waves was so loud, it sounded like cars racing by on the 101 and woke us up quite a bit. But honestly, worth the wake up, because every time we woke up we saw the moon glimmering off the ocean waves and so many stars!
David, the host, was so responsive and the on-site manager, sherry, was so kind and helpful.
We’ll definitely be back and want to stay here again!

Everything was absolutely perfect for the 9 days we stayed in Kihei! David’s property was exactly what we were looking for when we done our search of somewhere special to stay for our honeymoon! The view from the balcony was the sweetest! It’s perfect for early morning coffee and to catch a perfect sunset every evening! You are right on the beach! Literally just a few steps! We loved that feature! David’s condo is exactly what the site states! We had everything we needed for the trip! After exploring the entire island for our stay, we recommend to anyone to stay in Kihei! It’s a really good middle location for many things! The condo was very clean upon arrival. The bed was as comfy as other reviews stated. There are 2 air conditioners. One in the living area and one in the bed room. For me I thought having an air conditioner was a deal breaker if a unit did not have one. We ended up turning the air conditioner on one time the day we arrived in the living area. Being from Mississippi we have to have our air because it’s miserably hot at times. But the wind breeze is so nice and keeps everything at a comfortable temp that you really don’t need the air conditioner as much as you think! We did use the air conditioner in our room at night. (You certainly could make it without it).
David is very kind and accommodating to all needs. He is very very prompt to respond if you reach out to him for anything! We were able to snorkel right on our beach and saw several BIG sea turtles right at our condo!! That could of been one of the happiest memories for us! We didn’t expect to see any! One probably weighed 300-400 pounds! It was incredible! We thought for sure we would have to pay for an excursion to see exactly what we saw at our place! So I recommend trying snorkeling there before you pay for anything!
I highly recommend to stay with David! You will not be disappointed!

This was our second time staying at the Kealia Resort and our first time at this condo. We loved it and had a great time. The Cali King bed was so comfortable, and so was the couch to lounge on. The condo is fully equipped with beachy needs such as a beach umbrella, (3) Beach chairs, plenty of beach towels. The TV is equipped with Amazon Prime, Roku ect. The grounds are very well kept and the pool was drained and filled while we were there. Very close to restaurants and downtown Kihei. There is a tiny restaurant right next door called Dina's, excellent sandwichs. Pack a few in the cooler the condo provides and spent endless days out on Sugar Beach. Feel confident when you book here. Aloha !

Good location . Close to all shops and restaurants .Nice and clean . Full Kitchen and amenities. Good for single family . Bring the eyes mask if you’re not an early morning person. The slide door and screen door need to fix it or make it easy to close because it is off the rail when you try to close it all the time. We will stay with David condo again.

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at David's condo. We were there for 9 days and had everything we needed. Extra towels, washer/dryer, beach gear, cooler, well stocked kitchen. The views are beautiful and the condo was very clean. The beach out front was perfect and very sandy (not rocky like many of the beaches in Maui). The location is a bit farther from downtown Kihei and restaurants (10 min. Drive), but we didnt mind at all. All around a beautiful vacation.

This condo was exactly as described. The ocean was very calm, good for SUPs and swimming but not so much for surfing. It is in a more remote part of the island, which we liked, with not a lot of noise or people. We loved it.

We were so happy we chose this property for our Maui vacation. The location was perfect, right on the water. Kihei area is a really nice part of the Island, very low key, good restaurants and shopping. The staff was great. The condo had everything we needed, even beach stuff! Will definitely return someday!

The condo was very clean, and was decorated in a beautiful Hawaiian decor. It had everything you would need to cook a meal, sit on the beach or relax on the lanai. Pool and beach were as pictured, right out the door from the condo. Amazing view. David was easy to contact. His recommendations for restaurants were excellent and he checked in mid week to see if we needed anything etc. Would stay here again!!! Feel fortunate to have found this beautiful condo. Mahalo David

Very much enjoyed our stay in David’s beautiful condo.
It felt so homey right away. Totally missed writing up a little message in your guest book, so I will do it here.
We had everything we needed at our finger tips. From a well equipped kitchen to a beautiful balcony that we relaxed on after a fun day exploring or going to the beach. Lovely walks along the beach in the morning, going to the bakery which was about ten minutes away for coffee and a goodie.
Thank you David, you were a pleasure to deal with. We will definitely be heading back that way.

This is a truly wonderful place to stay. The condo itself is comfortable, tastefully decorated, fully equipped and well stocked with odds and ends. Perfect for a couple. The complex is impeccably maintained. It is not a grand resort, but the pool and grounds are lovely. The location? On (and I mean ON) a beautiful beach. I have no idea why Sugar Beach fails to make the short list of Maui's best beaches. Finally, David is a truly gracious host whose kindness, generosity and spirit of aloha made our stay here very special. Mahalo, David!

We loved David’s property. Beautiful view of the beach, all the amenities (beach chairs, umbrellas, tp, ptowels. Laundry detergent, most spices, blender, etc.) there were even a few welcome gifts. He was incredibly communicative. Perfect central location to tour all of Maui. If we return, we’d absolutely rent here again.

This condo was exactly what I needed. Nothing fancy or big, but clean and steps away from the beach and right on the main road to everything. Snorkeling from Kihei pier, check. Sunset above the clouds on Haleakla, check.Road to Hana and back, check. Easy access to shops/crowded areas of Kihei, Wailea, check (if you want that)! Restful dinners/grilling on site, amazing! Photos don't do it justice.

We had a wonderful stay in unit #502. It had everything we needed. The location was fantastic as it was private but close to all of the activities that we enjoyed. We were extremely impressed with how how the manager David kept in contact with us to ensure our stay was superb. We recommend this condo 100%!
Thanks again, David!

We stayed in David's condo for our Honeymoon, and it was the PERFECT place for us! It was central to every location we wanted to visit, making it super easy to go out for a night on the town, or stay in with a bottle of wine and just watch the waves crash against the shore. It had everything we needed, plus beach gear, and super convenient to have a washer/dryer in unit to clean our clothes, too! David was a wonderful communicator leading up to and throughout our stay. Would absolutely recommend!!

Condo was great for 2 people, comfortable and clean with new appliances. Excellent whale watching from the lanai and the long beach was very easy to walk and is not crowded. The condo complex is well maintained with large sun and shade areas. David was very responsive to any questions and we did not have any issues with our booking or stay.

Thank you so much for a wonderful stay in your vacation rental! We found the condo both clean and very comfortable, and well stocked with everything we needed to cook in when we wanted, and still close enough to lots of fabulous eating places when that's what we wanted. We especially enjoyed the proximity to nearby Lehaina with all its tourist attractions. But, the best, vest, best part of all was your lovely beach and the view at sunset. Thanks for the memories! We will be back.

This condo at the Kealia Resort has a very nice view of the ocean and is well maintained. The property is also very well maintained, (except for the beach/lawn chairs-they are getting a little old and worn out). The access to the ocean is perfect and the beach is one of the nicest beaches on Maui! I would recommend this condo to anyone wanting a perfect beach view with an awesome view of the sunset at night. The owner was easy to work with and we didn't have any problems booking the property.

We very much enjoyed staying 4 nights here. Being on the 5th floor made the view extra outstanding and I think it was probably a bit quieter there, too. The unit has a cozy kitchen and living area, which certainly works well for two people. We found ourselves constantly enjoying meals on the balcony. The bedroom is quite spacious and includes a desk area.
Location was very good for our purposes. The beach is clean and very long for walking. Not super-great for snorkeling. Being fairly centrally-located made access north to Lahaina, south to Kihei and Wailea, and up-country/Haleakala all quite reasonable.
The owner was very easy to work with. All transactions and communications went super-smoothly.
We will strongly consider staying here again if we have the opportunity.

My boyfriend and I stayed here for 5 nights and it was excellent. The condo is modern and very clean. The views were absolutely amazing, and sitting out on the lanai to start the morning was really great, along with walks on the beach located right in front of the building. The condo itself was fully stocked with all the things we needed. David was very easy to communicate with and was on top of all the details - he sent an email with the check in process, parking, wifi. etc. I can't wait to stay here again on our next visit to Maui!

My husband and I stayed here for the weekend and were very happy with the condo. The view is breathtaking and the place was clean and stocked with everything we needed! (Beach towels, chairs, ect.) it was also easy to get a hold of David if we needed anything. Would highly recommend this place especially for couples! We will definitely be staying here again when we return to Maui.

the view from the Lania was picture perfect, great for whale watching and sunsets!!! it was furnished with all the extras we needed. for the adventure seekers I highly recommend going next door to the Maui Canoe Club especially during whale watching season they only charge $15 per person and you are out in the ocean for over an hour.

We stayed at Kealia Resort for the first four days of our honeymoon - and we couldn't have picked a better place. Only 15 minutes from the airport, the condo is in a central location (an easy drive to the airport, to the beaches of south Maui and to Lahaina and the beaches of north-west Maui.)
The condo was small but the perfect size for us two. The bedroom is great - it's beside the lanai so the winds come in to keep you cool at night. The lanai is on the small side and only has room for a small table and two chairs, but we enjoyed our breakfast and coffee watching the ocean every morning and having a drink as the sun set over the ocean each evening. We were even treated to a massive rainbow our first morning there!
The kitchen is very clean and well-stocked with dishes. The condo also includes clean towels (for showers and for the beach), beach chairs and a cooler (much appreciated for our days at the beach!)
We recommend renting this condo to anyone coming to Maui.
We recommend renting a car for Maui - yes, there's a bus route that stops just up the street, but you're really limiting yourself if you don't rent one.
There's an elevator for seniors or visitors with disabilities/mobility issues.
