We had the best time at the Sugar Beach Resort. My husband and I traveled with our two teens. The unit was very comfortable for the 4 of us. We did not need a lot of space, since we spent most of our time outdoors at the beach or exploring Kihei and the rest of Maui. The king bed was super comfortable and my teens said they slept great on the pullout sofa bed. Check in was a breeze. The location is perfect, within 5-10 minutes drive to all the restaurants in Kihei, 15-20 min to Wailea. The beach is quaint and quiet. The property is beautifully maintained, we met some of the owners at the pool and it seems like it is a really nice community. People are out BBQing every night on the lawn. We had no issues and no complaints, would definitely return!

Fully stocked with cookware etc, felt safe in the area. Plenty of things to do within a small drive and grocery etc nearby.
Didn’t realize this is the windiest area of the island so be prepared to venture out.
Has a great time though.
Very clean except the bathroom shower walls had product and residue from the previous visitors.
You also have to take out the trash which I’ve never had to do considering cleaning fees and all that gets charged but the trash shoot is nearby and there were plenty replacement bags.
Wasn’t that big a deal. I would recommend the place if you don’t mind wind. The view of the ocean is still great.

Our family stayed here for a couple days at the end of a longer trip to Hawaii. It was comfortable and easy to check in to. We really appreciated having laundry facilities and convenient parking. The beach was great but it was super windy while we were there.

We had a wonderful two weeks at Sugar Beach. Always something new to discover. Definitely recommend a visitor paddle with the Kihei Canoe Club! Condo was comfortable and had all the things we needed for meals and the beach. Lovely views from the lanai. Great walking beach and pool. We love our time at Sugar Beach!
Great communication with Kim and Roslyn. Thank you so much!

We really enjoyed our stay at this condo. It was really nice to come back from exploring the island and relax on the patio or go down and sit at the beach. Short enough walk from the beach that it was easy to go back up to the condo to grab anything that we needed. Elevators were quick so we didnt have to go up the stairs every time. We noticed that one of the beach chairs in the rental had a broken leg. We weren't too concerned because there are already chairs at the complex, but owner responded quickly and had another chair delivered later that day which we appreciated. Would definitely stay here again.

Great location to explore all of Maui’s diverse activities-West Maui Mountain, Road to Hana, Haleakala Crater, and south Maui beaches. We liked starting our day with a Long Beach walk followed by sipping coffee on the lanai. From the lanai there are views of ocean and WMM. We enjoyed relaxing after a busy day by the pool/beach. This is a cozy, comfortable unit.

This stay was one of the highlights of our vacation. Beautiful views, convenient location, close to everything. Beach is located right behind the resort. You have a sunset view right from your balcony.
The place is well-decorated, well-equipped and had everything we needed. Kitchen is fully stocked. Bed was comfortable. Having washer and dryer was a plus.
Definitely recommend this stay!

This property is in a great location. It's right on the beach north of Kihei, so it's not in a busy part of town. This condo is an end unit closest to the road, so there is some road noise but it wasn't problematic. The views and sounds of the ocean from the lanai are great. The property was comfortable and had lots of beach gear that helped make our stay better. We had some TV problems and the property managers were very responsive and helpful.

We loved our condo at Sugar Beach resort! The room literally had everything we could think of needing, and more! Comfy bed, AC worked great, and the view from the Lanai was amazing! Hot tub and oceanfront hangs were just a short stroll from the room. Would 100% stay here again!

It's a great location for experienced travelers in Maui. Maui is for the early riser. If you want to enjoy all that this island has to offer, you MUST get out of bed early. Plan on sleeping from 10pm - 6am. If you can do that, you will be impressed with this property.

Overall, a great property! Very clean and well-maintained. Property owner was helpful and responsive. Beach sometimes got windy during the afternoons but the central location made it easy to explore other beaches too. Lots of “extras” in the room - beach chairs, umbrella, coolers, etc. Would definitely come back here again!

We had a fantastic 11 day stay at the end of Ocotber! The condo was accurately described and fit our needs perfectly. We loved the views of the courtyard, ocean, West Maui Mountains, and even Mount Haleakala which we could see from our bedroom window. We highly reccomend Sugar Beach Resort and this condo.

We had the best time staying at this property. The unit was well maintained and neat. The view from the balcony is amazing and just walking distance to the beach. The kitchen has everything you need if you plan to cook. Only thing is it gets colder in the nights and if you plan to enjoy some time in the balcony make sure to carry a throw.
Overall highly recommend this place for your Maui Vacation!!!

Sugar beach has a special place in our heart. We know what the condos offer which fits what we need for our family. This condo was filled with everything you could ask. Thanks again for another memory we made with our family.

My wife (then fiancée) and I were planning our honeymoon to Maui, and knew we wanted to stay on a tighter budget for our place to stay, to have more money for all our Maui adventures! We were looking on VRBO and a few other sites for a place to stay in the Kihei area, and stumbled upon this gem. I had stayed at Sugar Beach Resort once before when I came to Maui as a kid, so I already knew the resort was nice and had a great location. This condo had everything we needed as a couple, and made our visit nice and easy. The only issue we had the entire trip was a leaky kitchen sink, but I was able to call the front desk and they had someone from maintenance at our door within 30 minutes! They had the problem fixed within a couple of hours and we didn’t even realize anyone had been there when we got back from the beach. It is a little outdated, but this didn’t bother us much as we pretty much only were there to sleep and eat! It was simple, but had everything we needed! And you can’t beat that Maui beach view! Only complaint is we were closer to the road than the ocean, so when we had the doors to to lanai open, we could hear traffic, but this was only a small thing that didn’t bother us much. We will definitely be back here for future visits, and couldn’t recommend it more!

The property and room were clean. A little dated but perfectly fine. Plenty of fans helped keep airflow moving around. Short drive to restaurants. Being at the top of Kihei makes it a fantastic jump-point to other parts of the island. Also being at the top of Kihei means it's extra windy especially in afternoons. Nothing against the property, but something to be aware of if you want to lounge on the beach (which is very very small, so really it's lounging on the grassy area near the beach). Overall great unit and would stay here again for the location benefit.

Although it is older (and we were well aware of that being my wife stayed here with a friend 35 years or so ago), we felt it was clean, comfortable, and affordable! I was impressed with the quick response by the Vacasa folks when we needed something! If improvements/additions are made at some point pool wise, a larger (or a 2nd one) hot tub would be NICE as it was awfully crowded at times!

Was thrilled to be in Maui and at Sugar Beach for our vacation. The pool and hot tub were very inviting..….and a few more steps to the beach. Pictures were accurate of the condo and it was was comfy. Bring your own washing machine pods as that is one item not available in condo.

We had a wonderful visit at this resort. The Condo was clean and well stocked. They have a new couch from what is shown in the pictures and the hide-abed is new and comfortable. My only suggestions would be to have a blanket available. There were only heavy bedspreads and sometime the mornings were cool and a blanket would have been nice for sitting out on the lanai. There was a meager supply of toilet paper. I would assume that when a rental costs thousands of dollars it should include enough toilet paper for the entire stay.

Sugar Beach Resort provided a great, low key spot for our family of four on Maui. We enjoyed the beach and pool just downstairs from this 4th floor condo. The kitchen was well outfitted making cooking meals in and eating on the balcony easy.

Overall it was perfect for the two of us. The location is central to all we wanted to see. The resort is on a quiet beach that is perfect for walks in the morning and evening. The condo had everything we needed. Bed was comfortable, views from the lanai were amazing. We were able to see whales from the beach and the lanai. Kim was quick to respond which is much appreciated. Only cons is it’s next to a busy street so you’ll definitely hear the traffic and the pillows need replacing. Other than that it was perfect!

The property is situated in a perfect place to enjoy the beach & to enjoy the island. One recommendation…the pull out bed mattress is worn out. Your body feels every bed spring in the couch.

Perfect place for a relaxing vacation. A beautiful, clean, calm, fine sandy beach is just in the backyard. The whole set up made it very convenient (e.g. keyless entry, open parking, easy to operate the grill which was by the beach lawn, etc) makes it convenient to just hop in the beach or the pool or sipping some beer while geilling. It might be time of year (was a week or 2 after labor day) but the place was not crowded at all. Lovely!
The help desk person was not too friendly but it was just a vibe I had. I didn't have any problem, however.

We had a fabulous time while staying in this unit at Sugar Beach Resort in Maui. Perfect location on beautiful Kihei Beach. Four of us stayed in the unit for two weeks and could not have asked for anything more. Kim was such a pleasure to work with and made sure we had everything we needed upon our arrival as well as during our stay. This unit and resort has everything you need and is in a central location close to many great restaurants, shops and grocery stores. About half an hour from the airport. We would definitely recommend this place and are looking forward to our next trip back. Thanks so much Kim for sharing your unit with us --- we can't wait to come back again.

First of all, this was my first experience with a vrbo property and I was very happy. Kim was very responsive to my nervous questions. Secondly, the condo was perfect, better than I expected. Everything was provided, from beach chairs to laundry soap! The condo was clean and comfortable, and we had a terrific view. The property itself was very well kept, we watched staff cleaning it every single day, doing a phenomenal job. It was so convenient to go from the pool to the beach and back to the pool again. Our teenage son loved the location, he felt quite comfortable roaming around. We loved walking the quiet beaches in the mornings and evenings, it was never very crowded. It was a great central location to drive to other activities, yet there was also some things like a coffee/pastry shop and ABC store within short walking distance which we found out our first day when there was a problem with a car rental and we had no way to get around that day. The property was not noisy even though it was on a main road, we could only hear the soothing roar of the ocean. I very highly recommend the property and in particular this condo. I would go back there in a heartbeat and will as soon as I can.

Stayed at Sugar Beach Resort, for our wedding/honeymoon and this place delivered!!!
Good afternoon Kim,
I have to say THANK YOU so much for renting out your place to us last month (we were there for our wedding). It was very comfortable, right on the beach like we expected, and the grounds and swimming pool were kept EMACULATE!! It was centrally located between Makena and Lahaina (we spent a lot of time in both places). Everything was fantastic!!! We would love another opportunity to stay at your place when we decide to head back to Maui.
Thank you!!!

The location was perfect for us, as Kehei is in a very central location on the island, and is easy to access South, West, and Central Maui. We traveled a lot to Kahului, and it was only 15-20 minutes from Sugar Beach Resort. The unit itself is older, but in respectable condition. The bathroom is quite small, though, and the tiling could use some work. We had trouble with the internet access (although other units had wifi that were free and accessible). The sliding door to the balcony is extremely loud, and it sounds like thunder when someone in another unit opens or closes the door. The pool is unremarkable, although seemed somewhat popular. Beach access is nice, but there are perhaps better beaches elsewhere on Maui. The washer/dryer + kitchen are very handy. The keycode on the door (as opposed to key or keycard) was a bit inconvenient as you had to remember a 6 digit number (I would have peferred a key). All in all, I thought this was a very good unit despite its relatively minor flaws.

This condo is in a nice bldg which has a pool, hot tub and grilling area. It has partial views of ocean and mountains (volcanic cone). Sunsets from the small veranda were delightful. Periodically hearing the ocean waves made for a very pleasant experience.
Unit was furnished fine and kitchen pretty well stocked. Washer & dryer made life easier.
Bathroom really needs to be renovated. I would recommend their unit to friends but would warn them re shower.
I would highly recommend that they give a handsome raise to their manager, Kim Stroshin!
She answered every question, even when presented weeks in advance of our arrival....and answered them correctly. She responded to all inquiries via either text, email or calls and did so promptly. This allowed us to prepare well in advance for our stay. As a property owner use to a range of managerial types, she's one of the best. As a renter on vacation this kind of competent manager really enhances ones stay. I only wish my next 2 stops on the islands in vrbo condos had similar employees.
Final word, other residents in bldg were very friendly and made some great recommendations re activities, restaurants and even events; many had been coming to this same bldg and units for years. Nice bldg, nice group of people, nice area, nice manager.
October 2014
I'd never rented from VRBO before and I was leery, but this experience was perfect in every way. Kim is a pleasure to work with, everything about the process is clearly defined and the unit was absolutely perfect for a wonderful vacation in paradise for two. We would sit every day on the lanai and watch the whales playing, the pool and grounds are lovely and there is a year round resident who leads water aerobics every morning. The unit is nicely furnished and everything we needed was right there! Not to mention you're steps from a beautiful sandy beach. I would highly recommend this VRBO offering to anyone, however, I'd like to keep it a secret just for me when I am fortunate enough to get back to Maui. Sugar Beach Perfect indeed!

We LOVE Maui and have definitely found our new favorite place to stay! The condo was the perfect home away from home. Location rocks, resort is perfect, suite had everything we needed. The owner was excellent to work with and even when a small problem occurred, she quickly made it right.
We look forward to our next stay!
March 2013
Pros: Central location in Maui, resort is located on a sandy beach, condo unit is clean, unlimited long distance phone calls, free WiFi provided
Cons: condo unit is located close to busy road and is quite noisy all day, "king-sized bed" is actually two beds pushed together, decor and furniture is dated
January 2013
Would definitely go back.
The location is very central for driving, it is also on the bus route if need be.
Always a view of the waterfront beach which is lovely to walk in either direction.
Quiet resort and good for families, maybe not teenagers as it is a bit isolated.
The unit was well supplied and in good condition.Grounds and pool very well maintained.
Front office staff are very helpful with information and any problems etc.
