The condo was perfect for us! We had a direct view of the ocean and it was only steps away. We enjoyed mornings with the ocean breeze and listening to the waves. Hosts were great in checkin in! Shopping, dining and site seeing was all within 10-20 minutes away! Highly recommend!

Lovely place to stay! We loved the balcony with a beach view and had breakfast every morning. The beach is a very short walk and great place to swim. The place was very clean and tidy, check in was easy. We will definitely stay again the next time we vacation in Maui.

Second floor balcony a stones throw from the ocean with beautiful views with all glass wall/slider/screen to open it up to the entire unit. A peaceful low traffic white sand beach in both directions for unlimited walking. A clean well equipped unit. Easy short 20 minute drive from airport. Location to Maui Ocean Center/Aquarium and ocean excursions 10 minute drive. Restaurants and shopping are not in walking distance but a 10 to 25 minute drive.

We had a wonderful stay! The condo was spotless on arrival and was stocked with everything you need to get settled. The bed is comfortable, there is a washer/drier and dishwasher, but the headline is THE VIEW! There is just nothing better than sitting on the balcony looking out over the beautiful blue ocean and listening to the sound of the waves (you can even spot some whales). If you can tear yourself away from the view, the location is perfect for exploring. Sugar Beach is right outside your window, Kihei is a 10 min drive away as is Maalaea harbor (many boat trips leave from here), and you are close to several beaches. Safeway and other shops are nearby.
Check in/out was a breeze, and the hosts reached outa couple of times by text to check that everything was going well.
100% recommend this place if you want the ocean view and beachside location!

Great location on our favorite beach! Big lanai with perfect view of the ocean and palm trees. Our first time at this complex, which has a nice big pool but we prefer some of the smaller complexes in the area. A comfortable unit with a newly renovated kitchen which was enjoyable.
Suggestions: coffee filters, higher speed internet if an option,

This accommodation is wonderful. Very clean, plenty of amenities, very comfortable, nice air conditioning. Incredible ocean/coastal view.
Most of all, we appreciated that the unit is located right on a desirable section of beach. It is also very well-located relative to all of the fun things to do when exploring the island; other coastal towns seem to be further away from many of the island’s main day trips/hikes/destinations.

Sugar Beach 226 is lovely, and we would happily stay there again! The space is well-appointed, beautiful and comfortable, and the lanai is wonderful for watching the crashing waves and the sunset. It’s within 15 minutes of all the shops and restaurants in Kihei as well. Communication with the owners was excellent and any minor issues were handled in very quick fashion. We highly recommend 226!

We had a great time! We've been to the resort many times. We love the location, how close it is to the water and the ocean front rooms. We loved sitting on the Lanai looking at the water and walking the beach. I really appreciated the communication and information from Barbara.

This condo is very clean and comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked, which made cooking some meals in pleasant. The condo/Lanai has an excellent ocean view and there is a nice beach right in front of the unit. Barbara was very easy to communicate with and answered any questions promptly, including restaurant and activity recommendations on the island. We plan to stay here again!

I've been to Sugar Beach Resort several times over the years. My favorite place to stay. This unit beats them all. Beautifully appointed. Clean and had everything you needed and more. The hosts are so organized and getting around and knowing what to do and how things worked was great. They were very communicative as well. Always prompt with answering queries. We went at the same time as the horrible fires in Lahaina and the upcountry. A dear friend was barely able to escape with her 2 kids and her car. She lost everything. We were so happy to be there to help her. A coincidental miracle for sure. Thanks for providing us a welcoming place to stay.
June 2023
We stayed at Sugar Beach #226 for 4 nights and loved every minute of it. The resort is located in a very convenient location, with epic ocean view. The staff was friendly and attentive, and they made us feel welcomed. The room was spacious, comfortable and clean, with a private lanai overlooking the ocean. We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a serene and peaceful Hawaiian getaway.

Clean unit with Great up front Ocean View.
Had a smoker next door and it was listed as a non smoking property. We complained to owner and management but nothing was done. Lots of notes all over the inside of the unit: drawers, shower, sliding glass doors, washer/dryer, etc. They really want you to know its their unit and follow their rules and guidelines. That put a little unneeded stress on our stay.
Kim M.
April 2023
The unit is beautifully updated throughout. All the necessary things are there for you including well stocked kitchen, comfortable bed, beach chairs, etc. Views from the lanai can't beat it. And the owners seemed to really care that you enjoyed your stay in their unit. Would love to come back and stay again.

This beautiful condo is centrally located in Kihei, which is close to everything. The condo was very well equipped with everything you need in the kitchen, chairs for sitting out at the beach and beach towels as well. Sitting out on the lanai each morning watching the ocean was my favorite place in the condo. Located on the second floor, it was easy to get to each afternoon when we got back from exploring the island. Will definitely be back!
Kathryn R.

The condo is in a perfect location to see and do all things on Maui. It is such fun to sit on the lanai and be so close to the ocean. The condo is clean and well equipped with everything you need to enjoy your stay in paradise.

My wife and I have had the pleasure of spending three vacations in this unit - over 24 nights. With travel as challenging as it can be these days, it’s nice to know that you don’t have to worry about having clean, safe, and beautiful lodging waiting for you.
A five star rating is well deserved for this property.

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving break at #226, everything was as expected, the condo was well furnished, the check-in was a breeze, the view and location were amazing.
The only small nitpick I could possibly make - comparing to other vacation rentals I've stayed at - the kitchen (condiments) was not as well stocked. For example, at other places we've found some combination of a stick of butter, eggs/bread, ketchup, some jellies, maybe a jar of peanut butter, zip lock bags, parchment paper, plastic wrap and aluminum foil. In some cases, I've also found small packs of yogurt and ice cream! All of these make it easy to pack a quick lunch to go or grab a late night bite/snack.
Having said that, the kitchen did have a mixer/grinder, lots of varieties of pots and pans, and assortment of plates, bowls, glasses, cutlery, etc. so much appreciated. A pen to write an entry into the guestbook would have also been useful to have.
All in all, I would totally stay here again in a heartbeat. The above are just how this vacation home compared to others I've been in, which could have been lacking in other ways.

We sent our pastor & his wife away to Maui for a Sabbatical. We chose SBR as we stayed there in this unit earlier in the year and just loved it. They found it a perfect, relaxing getaway!
Mark D.
August 2022
The place was immaculate when we arrived, had fresh flowers on the kitchen mantle and they left us a bottle of wine! Not sure if that was by design or because it was our honeymoon.
Location was top notch and the beach was a few steps away. Actually from the pictures it seemed like it was further away but it was alot closer than we thought.
We attended an orientation from the resort the one morning and won a free excursion!
I have no complaints about the condo and Barbara emailed me several times checking in to make sure everything was going ok.
I give it 5 stars and if we ever come back we would definitely choose this location again
Thank you George and Barbara!

My husband and I spent 5 days here and I’ve already recommended it to multiple people. Barbara was very kind and communicative. It’s very clean and you have everything you need! You absolutely can’t beat the view, it’s so relaxing to sit on the patio and listen to the waves and just a few short steps to the beach. I’d definitely come back! Thank you for having us.

This is our second stay in SB 226. We love the property, its amenities and proximity to other island locations. Sugar Beach is a gem that should not be missed. Our balcony looks out directly on the ocean. The unit is comfortable and well maintained. Hosts Barbara and George are good communicators. We give them 5 stars!

This VRBO unit at Sugar Beach Resort was a wonderful experience. The condo was perfectly clean and was furnished with all of the necessities and comforts of home.
The lanai offered unobstructed views of Haleakalā, the Molokini crater and the West Maui Mountains. Amazingly, we watched Humpback whales breach as we enjoyed the view from the lanai for both sunrises and colorful sunsets. The proximity of the lanai to the oceanside beach allowed us to also enjoy the relaxing sounds of the the surf.
Just a short drive south from the airport in Kahului, the unit was central for our day-trips to the Haleakalā volcano, a journey to Hana, a drive to Lahaina and Kapalua, and to our refreshing visit to the ʻĪao Needle that was just 20 minutes away. It was also central for some great dining.
The hosts, Barbara and George, took personal care to ensure our visit and stay in their Maui home met all of our needs and expectations.
The visit in one word was 'stunning'. Our stay at this VRBO unit exceeded our expectations in every way. We look forward to a return visit soon.

My wife and I just completed an 11 night stay (our 2nd visit) to #226 and enjoyed another perfect experience. I've said it before but it can't be overstated - when you work hard all year to plan a major vacation getaway, there's no better feeling than the security of a great lodging experience. This is it - no risk, just the comfort of a well maintained unit with all the supplies and amenities you need. The location? Ideal - a perfect view to an uncrowded beach that is ideal for that sunrise/sunset walk. Thanks again for a great place to call home for our vacation!

We thoroughly enjoyed our Maui vacation. The condo was exactly what we needed! The views from the balcony were amazing and we were able to watch the whales everyday! Only suggestion would be to have a couple extra pillows available. 😉 We are already looking at dates for next year!

This was a perfect location with an amazing view! It was central to every place we wanted to go, and secluded enough to enjoy the lanai and the beachfront. George and Barbara were great hosts and checked in on us from the beginning to the end of the trip. We even got to see a few whales right from our lanai. I would highly recommend them and their property to anyone visiting Maui. Mahalo!

Perfect location! The suite is literally oceanfront and the beach is perfect for swimming. It is an 8 minute beach walk to a popular bakery and shaved ice. Lots of restaurants 15-20 min drive away.
The apartment is very clean. The hosts has thought of everything thing to make our stay easy and pleasurable. The kitchen was well appointed, though we didn’t cook. There are swimming noodles and mats if you want to go to the beach, we didn’t use any as we took advantage of the lap swim at the pool (8-9am). Pool is on the small side but doable for lap swimming.
Barbara is an excellent communicator! She gave detailed instructions and recommendations for activities, restaurants etc. We went to Lineage for dinner, not on her list very good. We arrived around 9pm and still made locating the place a piece of cake because of Barbara’s detailed directions. Thanks Barbara! You and George are wonderful host. Lastly, I would mention Marco, the island representative. We called him because the cable was no not working right and he responded right away. He had to come to the suite and fixed it, super nice guy.
I would highly recommend this place! It is a welcoming abode.

When you make a significant investment on a vacation destination like Maui, you want the confidence that you're selecting the right property.

The owners were accommodating the entire trip! We had open lines of communication in the event that something was not satisfactory, but that was not the case. The condo was very clean, roomy, and provided everything we needed for my wife and I during our stay there. This place on the beach was full of beautiful views and is located in a very pleasant area of Maui. 10/10 will recommend to friends traveling to Maui!

Sugar Beach #226 is clean, cozy & comfortable. It's in excellent condition & is equipped with everything we needed. This is the only condo we stay in when we visit Maui.
George & Barbara, our stay at your condo was perfect, once again! We always love the gorgeous ocean view, long walks on Sugar Beach, the beautiful grounds & our daily morning ocean swim.
Thanks again for making our Maui vacation perfect! We'll be back in 2019!

We were so pleased with our condo at Sugar Beach Resort #226! Barbara and George were so very informative in our booking and what to expect and they delivered! So nice to have an awesome bed to come home after long day on the beach. It was especially comforting to have Barbara check in with us after a day of our stay making sure we were doing ok and if had any questions. Excellent view from our lani with beautiful sunsets! The beach is awesome to walk and a big shout out to Maui Sights and Treasures for all there helpful directions and booking activities! Highly recommend using that tour company who is on sight and so delightful to work with! Nice warm pool and great hot tub! Bar b q area is always great way to end the day hearing of everyone's adventures! You can swim with the turtles right outside your condo! There was everything in condo that we would need, right to the beach chairs and cooler!! The only reason I gave a 4/5 is that the water is not blue, due to all the sand on the shoreline. I would recommend that the carpet be replaced with tiles and needed some wall hooks for shorts to hang on. But, the condo was very clean and did not dissapoint us at all! Thanks to Barbara and George for sharing there piece of paradise with us! Hope one day to return....I can always dream...Lori and Jeff from Sherwood Park, AB

We had a wonderful time in Maui staying at SB226. We appreciate your promptness during our planning for the trip and your attentiveness during our stay. We enjoyed the warm weather, the beautiful sunsets and ocean view from your lanai and the sound of waves breaking gently on the shore. Your apartment is very clean, well equipped, organized, functional, and guest friendly. It certainly feels like home away from home. Many thanks for sharing your lovely condo with us.

#226 is absolutely the best---the view is fantastic and the inside looks brand new! Nothing looks worn and the kitchen is equipped better than what I have in my own home! We drove to The Kaanapali area yesterday and were amazed at all the people, traffic, and how close all the condos were to each other---Sugar Beach and Kihei staying in #226 is the best vacation you could ever have!!

This condo is very comfortable and has an excellent ocean and easterly view. We loved being on the 2nd floor. As our son and daughter-in-law were also staying at SB, we always got together at 226 for dinner as it had that definite feeling of a home away from home.

Everything was perfect at the condo. It almost felt like home. The beach and the view of the beach from the condo was beautiful. Shops and restaurants were close enough. The location of the condo was perfect for getting to the surrounding beaches. I highly recommend this place.
May 2016
This was my first stay on Maui, and it went amazingly. We flew in from the big island early and Barbara was able to get us access to the condo well ahead of standard check in time. The unit was very comfortable, with everything we needed (including an amazing ocean front view!). We can't wait to go back!

You just can't beat sunshine and 80 degrees everyday! The condo at Sugar Beach Resort is exactly like the photos. Very comfortable and clean. It is well appointed. The beach is steps away and sunsets are great right from the lani.
We loved walking on the beach, swimming in the ocean and the heated pool. My husband loved the hot tub. There is lots to do and see. Restaurants are great. Loved the golf courses. The owners of this condo make sure your every need is met. We highly recommend this condo and Sugar Beach Resort.

We were very excited about our vacation at Sugar Beach Resort in Maui. We were celebrating our 50th Wedding Anniversary. George & Barbara (the owners) were in contact with us prior to leaving and after we arrived. Barbara called us the day after our arrival to see if everything was as it should be. This unit is fully equipped for eating in or spending time on the beach. The view from the Lanai is incredible. We were so impressed, we bought 2 weeks next February and are sending our Daughter and Son-in-law to this Unit, to celebrate their 25th Wedding Anniversary.
Thanks again to Barbara and George

Great condo! Being on the second floor was perfect. The unit was very clean and had all the comforts of home. The pictures are accurate but its even better in person. That first impression when you walk in the condo and are met with a wall of windows and the fabulous ocean view so close - WOW!
Lots of parking available and right next to the building. There is an elevator available if needed.
A trip saver for me was the central air conditioning in the unit. It was extremely hot and humid during my stay and the A/C was so appreciated. Definitely something to look for and consider when looking at vacation rentals.
Sugar Beach Resort is in a great central location on the island, and so quick and easy to find from the airport. The resort overall is very well maintained.
The owners were very pleasant and responsive to work with. I'll definitely be arranging my next trip to Maui around this unit's availability. Highly recommend!

My husband and I stayed in Barbara and George's second home for ten nights. Having stayed at Sugar Beach twice before, we rate this unit the best! Everything you could possibly need was provided, even the gorgeous view of the Pacific, just steps away from the condo. Two phone calls to check on us assured us that we made the absolute best choice to spend our 40th anniversary here. We will be back for sure. Mahalo, Barbara and George, for letting us stay in your second home!!! 🌴

We had an amazing stay in Maui! Stayed for 8 nights, and had everything we needed. The condo was pristine-the views are breathtaking; pictures do not do justice. Since we live on the east coast, we were waking up every morning by about 5am. For the first time in our lives we actually looked forward to being awake before the sun so we could sit on that lovely lanai and sip Maui coffee as the sun came up. Everything about the condo was perfect. Barbara and George were responsive and super easy to work with. They sent tons of info about the island and answered all of my questions. I couldn't imagine staying anywhere else!

This condo is in a great location on the central part of the island which gives equal access to all the areas. It's a 30 second walk down the stairs and around a corner to either the beach or the pool. The beach is very nice here with no rocks although the beach is fairly narrow. There are plenty of lawn chairs or recliners at the pool or on the grass between the building and beach. The pool and hot tub are clean. The condo itself is clean and has all the amenities you should need. The AC works well. The bed is comfortable. The kitchen if fully stocked with cooking tools. Washer and dryer work well. Sitting on the lenai became a favorite pastime for people watching and sunsets. The keycode for door entry was great as there is no key to carry around or lose. No complaints at all. The owners were very helpful. Thanks!

This sweetheart of an oceanfront condo is a real treat. Check-in process was smooth, even after hours. The ladies at the front desk are super friendly and knowledgeable. Conveniently located on the second floor, it takes no time to dash down to the pool / barbecue area, or to your car. Elevators are fairly close if stairs aren't your thing. The key pad access entry is one of the better convenience features. No room key to worry about when you leave the room. This has to be one of the cleanest condo's we've ever stayed in on Maui. The owners have placed discrete notes throughout the condo, with tips on a variety of issues: from how to operate the appliances to how to make better use of amenities. We really appreciated the notes because it took a lot of the guess work out of simple tasks. The kitchen is well appointed and unlike many other condos, the owners actually left a large cabinet empty for food storage. There's nothing worse than checking in to a nice place then having to look at groceries stacked all over the place because there's no space left in the cabinets. The dining table is located next to the glass wall / sliding glass doors, that opens to the lanai...perfect for enjoying the view while dining. In addition to the standard table and chairs on the lanai, there is a chase lounge. Not very many properties have both. The view off the lanai is great. The TV and entertainment center in the living area is very nice and if you're feeling tired after a day of snorkeling or boogie boarding (supplied by owners) and want to lay in bed and watch TV, you can do that too. The bed was very comfortable, by the way. There are many other features we could tell you about. We would definitely rent this property again and will recommend it to our friends. We hope this information is helpful and that you have a fantastic stay in Sugar Beach #226.

Wonderful stay at Sugar Beach - so close to the beach, a nice pool/spa area, and easy to get-in and get-out. Also, it was very relaxed there, not bustling like some other areas. In fact, I liked how it was half-way between south (Kihei/Waliea) and west waui (Lahaina), and near Kahului (airport/town). If you're looking not to stay in the center of it all, but easy access to it all, this is a great place. The place itself was lovely and quiet. It was very comfortable, well-maintained, and they even left me a nice welcome to Hawaii gift - chocolate-covered macadamia nuts! The beach didn't seem like a great swimming beach but was a nice walking beach - although a couple afternoons the wind was intense. Of course, a beautiful view and nice sunsets. Overall, an excellent stay and I'd highly recommend others who are considering staying there.

Best vacation ever! Exceptional accommodations. Sparkling clean. Condo was exactly as described and more fully furnished than any we've stayed in. Owners were extremely helpful, gracious, and answered emails promptly. The views and location were incredibly beautiful! We cannot imagine staying anywhere else in the future. Thank you, George and Barb, for a wonderful week.

This is a great location from which to explore the entire island. The unit is located in a large, well-run complex. The management was very efficient and friendly. The pool was nice and the gardening around the complex was pretty.
The unit was very clean and well organized. The bed was super comfortable! We had everything we needed to prepare meals. It was exactly as described on the website. Having a washer and dryer in the unit is a huge bonus for light travelers. The owners were very friendly and helpful when planning our trip. They mailed us a package with detailed directions and suggestions for places to visit and eat. This was our first time renting a condo through a website so it was reassuring to us that we could talk directly to the owners.
We were able to explore much of the island during our 5 night stay. Highlights include a visit to Iao Valley Park, driving up to Haleakala Mountain, and of course, the road to Hana and a hike up to Waimoku Falls. We took a sailboat ride on the America II out of Lahaina - that was fantastic. Whales came up right next to the boat!
We would certainly stay here again if we return to Maui and will recommend it to friends

Beach walking and swimming steps from your door could not be better! It is clear the owners have found the spirit of aloha living deep within, and what a blessing it was that they shared it with us! We hope to return again soon!

George and Barbara's beautiful condo at Sugar Beach resort was the perfect location for our first trip to Maui. And they provided so much wonderful information before we even arrived for restaurants, activities, everything.
The view from the condo exceeded expectations. What could be better than sittting on the lanai and watching the whales breech 200 yards off shore? And the sunrise and sunset were stunning.
This condo is clean, well stocked and very comfortable. It felt like home from the minute we arrived.
In fact, we enjoyed ourselves so much we have already booked for next year, and we will stay longer!
Sugar Beach Resort itself is fabulous. The location is right on the beach and a short walk to the convenience store for almost anything you need. We never did use the pool with the beach being so close but it was nice to know it was there if we desired. The grounds are well kept and nicely landscaped.
For a romatic dinner, head up to Lahina and book a rooftop table at Fleetwoods. And try to Maui Mojito there. Yummy!
