The location is spectacular - over looking the beach and about a 20 minute drive to other parts of the island. Highly recommend this property for Hawaiian get away.

Our fifth stay at Sugar Beach Resort. This unit was the best outfitted for our 2 weeks stay of all the unitss we've had at Sugar Beach. The grounds are well maintained, great pool. Away from crowds, yet ten minutes from resturants, groceries. The beach is lovely for walking and swimming.

My one complaint is that there were gnats all over the balcony. I could not go out and sit on the balcony like I wanted to because of this.
That said, it's a very nice apartment and the view is spectacular.

We had such a wonderful time! The condo is really nice and that balcony has amazing views. We enjoyed eating numerous meals on the balcony while watching the waves. We even saw whales and sea turtles from the balcony.
The condo is very clean and the bed is comfy! We had everything we needed. The closet with beach chairs was an extra bonus. All of the appliances are new and work great. Kitchen is fully stocked!!
Fast response from the owner when asked a few questions which was great! Would definitely recommend 👌
Also, the location is perfect!! The beach was beautiful, clean, not crowded, and the central location made it easy to go everywhere on the island.
Thank you for allowing us to stay in your condo! We will return!

I felt like grounds were nice. Little farther out than I prefer so I might stay in other side of Kihei where there are more things by walk to and nicer accommodations. We were however disappointed to arrive at check in 4:00 to find the room had not been cleaned yet . We had to wait two hours to get in the condo . Thus resort is in the bay not along the ocean front so whale watching was not as good as I’d hoped . We paid 500 a night I think that was too much and you could find a nicer place elsewhere

The condo was clean and well appointed. They had everything you didn’t know you needed. The view was wonderful and we were able to do a lot of whale watching from the lanai. The sunsets from the beach in front of the condo were beautiful.

This was a great place for our honeymoon. Conveniently located between Lahaina and Wailea. Not far from airport. Pacific Whale Foundation just up the road, great whale watching excursion. Lots of great places to eat within reasonable distance. Plus the condo was super well stocked with all necessities. Really enjoyed our time there; clean, quiet, friendly and accommodating.

Our stay in PH19 was great ! The condo was very clean and well equipped. The view was excellent. We could see whales from our balcony. The location was close to Kihei for dining out. Would recommend Sugar Beach Resort and this condo highly!

This place was a perfect place to take in the views. Unreal. Definitely one of the best views on the Island. Very clean and well stocked. Sugar Beach is amazing. Thanks for having us we will be back.

We stayed 11/3-11/22. This condo was very clean and perfectly guest ready. Lots of quality supplies provided like soaps, shampoo, lotions, foil, wrap, dish and laundry soaps etc. Quality bedding and linens. Excellent view and location in resort. Loved the decor and vibe of this unit. Lots of families with kids dominating pool and beach area, so if you like an adult atmosphere be advised. We had several days of heavy winds making it hard to use pool and beach. We would definitely stay here again. Mahalo for the early checkin.

Our short stay in PH19 has come to an end and we are sad to go. The oceanfront lanai was perfect for coffee in the morning, sunset cocktails or late evening nightcaps. In addition to being beautifully decorated and maintained, the unit was well stocked with just about anything you needed for cooking, laundry, showering, and beach amenities (towels, umbrella, and chairs). It just felt like home! Any inquiries we made were answered promptly and to our satisfaction. Sugar Beach resort is located a short drive to local shops and restaurants in Kihei and Waimea. We would not hesitate to stay here again and highly recommend this unit to others.

Absolutely the best place we have stayed. It was styled so beautifully we fell in love with the condo immediately. The view to the ocean from the minute you open the door is what you dream about. The bed was so comfortable the only reason you would want to get out of it was to keep from missing any moment of Maui! James & Lori thought of every need you can imagine. They supplied soap, shampoo, towels, beach chairs, binoculars, beach towels, washer/dryer & detergent, paper towels, baggies, pen/paper, seasonings, cookware, fans, and even a sound machine that had waves crashing! When we got home we talked about the fact there was nothing that could have been added to our condo to make it any more enjoyable.

We usually visit the island in Feb/Mar. This was my first time during the summer - and first time staying at Sugar Beach Resort. I was on the island to spread mom's ashes in her favorite Maui places. First half was wonderful, everything was as we expected. Then the fires broke out and took away any desire to be out having fun while so many were suffering so much. We helped where we could, which is the best we could do. Every local had multiple horror stories. It was very eerie. The unit was perfect and very well stocked. But more than that, the Warden's went out of their way in being responsive to my three flight changes going home. They didn't have to go above and beyond, but they really stepped up to help. Can't thank them enough for their hospitality. The view from the penthouse is absolutely perfect. No complaints at all - would highly recommend staying there. If I'm ever in need again, this will be my first choice.

This unit had everything we needed and the resort is in a great location - close enough to Kihei for convenience but far enough away to be quiet and relaxing. The downsides were that there was a noise coming from the bathroom that was quite annoying and there was construction in the unit next door that was reallly loud one day when we were in the unit. The shrieking noise in the bathroom was mostl covered by closing both doors between the bathroom and bedroom but still an annoyance regardless as closing the room off also limited air flow. We were only provided one washcloth and no hand towels when we arrived. It took 48 hours to get those delivered, which was frustrating but not a deal breaker since we at least had full size bath towels. We would probably stay at sugar beach again but not sure I would do this unit due to the noise in the bathroom and delayed response of property management.

The condo was beautiful and comfortable, but there was a MASSIVE construction project going on next door. We couldn’t hear each other speak in the condo, all day long, for 4 of our 6 days. The air conditioning unit let out a loud shrieking noise half the night. Property management told us tough luck on the construction and that they knew about the project but they’re not required to let the owners of the rented unit or us know in advance about it. Their advice was to see if the owners would let us cancel and to go try and rebook a different property. Put in a maintenance request for the AC and my cell phone number, property management said they called the house phone in the condo (which we weren’t in because of the unbearable noise) and the AC was never addressed. The unit itself is great but these two items had a big negative impact on our stay.

March 2023
The unit was clean and as described with views so beautiful we had trouble deciding whether to go out or just sit on the lanai and relax while watching the whales jump. Our departure flight was delayed by almost half a day, and the owners allowed us to stay late so we actually got to use the last day instead of sitting at the airport waiting. This is our fourth time to Maui and our favorite trip so far, would stay here again without question and will direct our friends and family to this unit as well!

Excellent location for whale watching tours, the aquarium and farmers market. Watched whales from our lanai, walked the beach and used the beautiful pool. I would love to come back for an outrigger canoe experience located right next door. Location couldn’t have been more perfect.
The boardwalk in the wildlife refuge was amazing too. Great place for nature lovers 💕

The unit was wonderful. Had daily whale shows from the balcony. Good location away from the bustle of Kihei. Beautiful beach. Turned out though, that the pool was closed for four days vs the two that we were notified of.
Resealing of the deck usually done in September, but instead, January. Had counted on some down time poolside, but we did other things instead.
Greg & Brenda S.

The condo was outstanding, very well equipped with everything you need and more. The views from the top floor were fabulous.Being here in the middle of January we got to see whales everyday. What a gem of a place, highly recommended. The host were quick to get back to us on any questions we had. Thanks for sharing your place, we will be back.

This condo was simply perfect. We have stayed in many VRBO's and I have to say this one is at the top our list. The attention to detail, decor, supplies, and cleanliness were superb. The condo is stocked with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The location and view from the lanai can't be beat. So so beautiful. Mahalo for an amazing place to stay❤️

This was a beautiful condo on a beautiful location of the property. Loved our stay! The AC in the bedroom was not as cool as the living/dining/kitchen area. We used the fan they had & set it up in hall to push air down hall to the bedroom. They have everything you can imagine for your stay!! It was unbelievable. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you so much!!

Property needs to have improvements done, such as replacing the cracked table on the lanai. I contacted the management company but they said there was nothing they could do. The place had random garbage/cleaning items laying around. There are too many decorations as it leaves little space for guests to use.

Amazing location, right on the sandy beach. I found it to be annoying that I downloaded an app before we left, as requested, filled out all the required documents, then had to do it again when I got to the condo. Other than that it was absolutely fantastic. The condo is beautiful, clean, and perfectly located.

We rented this condo for two weeks in Feb. 2022. Dealing with the owners was very easy & efficient but the management company was less professional & more scattered. The condo is beautifully decorated, well cared for & very quiet. The kitchen was supplied with all the utensils we needed to make meals. The linens on the bed were lovely & we appreciated the shampoo, conditioner & toilet paper in the bathroom. We loved the location of the condo on Sugar Beach. We walked the beach, swam in the ocean & watched whales breaching & the infamous Maui sunset from our lanai. There is a lovely bakery & an ABC store within walking distance. The grounds of the resort are immaculate as is the pool & hot tub. We enjoyed our stay so much that we have booked three weeks next Feb.

So my wife and I got married during COVID and we had to reschedule several times due to different restrictions and regulations from the airlines and Hawaii.
What I would like to say is that through this process James and Lori were extremely understanding and very helpful as hosts.
In relation to the property it’s is a nice condo and suited everything my wife and I needed to accomplish on our honeymoon. It is located on a very Long Beach great for morning walks. “One downside is it can get a little windy in the afternoons” but, you’re in Hawaii next to the ocean. It can get windy anywhere on the island.
Location: The good thing of where the condos is located is that it is pretty centralized on the island and allows for relatively short drives to your restaurants or activities. On the flip side to that you have to drive everywhere and there isn’t really anything great in walking distance. But all in all most of our drives were under 30 minutes which went quickly with all the scenic views to look at.
What I would say is that, the condo is nice, clean, and well kept. The pool and hot tub access add a nice touch if you don’t want to get into the ocean or want to go for a night swim. The beach is clean, long, and safe- great for walking. Most importantly James and Lori as host are understanding, friendly, and accommodating.
I’m not sure what else you could ask for in staying somewhere. I would definitely stay here again with James and Lori.

AMAZING condo rental with a nearly perfect experience all around. It was a little stressful on receiving check-in communication from the rental company - a brief delay there but after that, it was golden. The condo is lovely, comfortable and exceptionally clean. The furniture truly is very nice, and the kitchen and bath well stocked and everything is labeled for easy finding. I appreciated the welcome gift as a thoughtful touch and had communication from Maui condo rental (who handled the condo) throughout our stay to ensure all was going well. Beach towels, chairs and boogies boards for use were a nice touch too. We absolutely loved the condo and location was great - Kihei is a fun little area and it’s a great location for easy access either north or south. We will be back!

This condo is 100% PERFECT. Location on Sugar beach, amazing, ocean view, AMAZING, the condo complex, AMAZING. Everything you could want and need in a condo is there. Beach chairs, cooler, umbrella, boogie boards, even flashlight, all there! It was a great condo and so extremely pleased with everything. The property management company was a little cumbersome but hey it is Covid times so things are different.. Just know you will never get early check in.
I would stay in this condo again without hesitation.

The condo was beautifully decorated with an absolutely beautiful view. I don’t think I’ve ever stayed someplace as well stocked as this place. They had beach chairs, towels, an umbrella and even a cooler to use. The location was very convenient to go south into Kihei, across the island to Paia to start the Road to Hana and to the north to Lahaina. We definitely maximized our time with staying in the middle. Not a lot of close restaurants to walk to, but everything was within a couple minute drive. We had a wonderful time!

We went to Maui to celebrate our 30th Anniversary. This condo was a 10/10! We loved everything. Sitting on the lounge chairs by the beach and ending the day on the lanai was heaven! We did the Road to Hana, Haleakala, Iao National Park and more. The condo had everything! A small cooler to take to the beach, beach chairs, beach towels and even sunscreen! You have thought of everything. We would love to come back someday.

We stayed 2 nights for our honeymoon, but wish we could have stayed longer!! The condo was super clean and provided everything that we needed! We LOVED the view and spent about an hour watching whales from our lanai one night! (We so appreciated the binoculars!!). I️ highly recommend this condo and hope we can come again! We did have an issue with the toilet when we first arrived, but the property management was super responsive and fixed it right away. Thank you so much!!!

The view is fabulous, the condo is stocked with everything imaginable, so check it out before you go to the store.
The only thing you need to know, is the wind picks up every afternoon and if your going somewhere special, you might want to park as close as you can to the building. Book this place, you won't be dissapointed!

I apologize for this long overdue review for the perfect stay.
My wife and I honeymooned in Hawaii last summer and this was our favorite place to stay! The condo is in a perfect location as it is central to Hana, Lahina, Wailea, and Kihei is a fun packed location too!
The condo itself is beautiful with a great view to the beach. We would routinely eat our breakfast on the lanai while listening and watching the ocean. Our first day here we even saw a couple dolphins! Otherwise, the condo has everything you need including some books about the sights in Hawaii and a CD you can use while traveling on the Road to Hana!
Not enough can be said on how awesome this place is, thank you to James and Lori for renting our this AMAZING condo.

We could not be more pleased with our stay. The condo has literally EVERYTHING you could possibly need. Everything was PERFECT. From the first contact with the owners last year to our last day, this has been the best travel experience my wife and I have ever had. Too many PROS to list since we were completely delighted with our visit. The condo was clean, very well organized, and has a stunning view of the beach. The bed is nothing shy of sleeping on a cloud....so so comfortable. We did the sunrise tour of Haleakala and the road to Hana tour and both were very enjoyable and "musts" if you have never been before. THANK YOU so much for the awesome hospitality and we will be back again!!

Great condo. Fully supplied with everything anyone could think of. Has fins for snorkling but didn't have a mask and snorkel to use, although I always have my own gear. Location is superb. Already booked next year!
January 2016
The owners went out of the way to provide every conceivable amenities a traveler could need. The bathroom even has q-tips, cough medicine and Advil. The kitchen was stocked better then my own home with spices, zip locks and sweeteners . We loved the condo and the view was breath taking. The unit was nicely decorated and very clean and organised. We love Sugar Beach Resort and has now become our favorite place to stay. The resort being centrally located made our day trips perfect. ! The info we received before leaving for our trip was of great value and very much appreciated. We really appreciated the phone call during our stay to make sure everything was great ! We will be back and cant thank you enough for making this visit our best ever.

We stay at Sugar Beach Resort each time we come to Maui .This is the first time we have used VRBO. PH19 was the best condo by far. It was beautifully decorated and the furnishings very comfortable. It was well stocked and everything looked new. We really appreciated the box of candy that was left for us when we arrived. Since we didn't rent a car we loved that the Farmer's Market and the ABC store was within walking distance. And be sure to check out the Sugar Beach Bakery next to the market.!! We ordered from the Sand Witch at Sugar beach every day, We will be sure to rent PH19 when we come back.

My new husband and I were lucky enough to enjoy James and Lori's condo for almost a week, and it was a little slice of heaven. We first booked our stay in April after reading all of the fantastic reviews, and I have to say, yes, they were all true! The kitchen really is that well-stocked, and the bed really is that comfortable! Also, the view off of the lanai is practically indescribable. It was beautiful. We loved the location of the condo in Kihei, because it was central to pretty much everything we wanted to explore on the island. James and Lori were fantastic to work with, and checked in with us a few times before we left and while we were there to make sure we were taken care of.
For those future travelers out there, we recommend heading down to the Sugar Beach rental office and renting snorkel equipment. It fit really well and was reasonably priced. Then head to Black Rock in Kaanapali, and snorkel with sea turtles! Definitely one of our favorite adventures. Other great things to check out that are near by: The beach right in front of the condo is great for body surfing, Coconut's Fish Café had the best fish tacos I've ever had, Maui Brewing Company was fantastic and has about 30 different beers on tap. They also have food trucks everyday. Wailea Beach was the most beautiful beach with the whitest stand. Also, Ululani's Hawaiian Shave Ice was really good and just a walk down the beach. Wow, I think I could go on forever and this is making me really miss our time there...
We wouldn't have changed a thing about our experience, and we would absolutely recommend this place. We certainly hope to be back there ourselves someday (hopefully soon!).

We had a fantastic stay for our honeymoon. The condo is perfectly equipped and beautifully decorated, comfortable, and clean. James and Lori have provided just about everything you could possibly need. The bed, as described, is the absolute most comfortable. We used to love coming home to our own bed but I honestly miss the bed in this condo.
The location is unbeatable. Centrally located if you plan to check out both sides of the island. We found it to be extremely convenient. Pretty quiet and way less populated than other areas. We did quite a bit of research before booking this condo and did so because of its proximity to the ocean. Best decision ever.
We will definitely be back and cannot wait for the next adventure. Many thanks to James and Lori for sharing their amazing condo!

This condo was amazing! When we first arrived we really had no idea how awesome it was until we spent time on the island. PERFECT spot to get anywhere, GORGEOUS views and GREAT prices. Loved the decor..which really does matter! Easy to find, easy check in...absolutely no problems! My favorite part of staying was the last morning we were there we watched materays swimming along side the shore! Honestly....we never wanted to leave. Unfortunatley we are home now and thinking of Maui and the condo! Thank you for a great place to stay!

been renting vacation properties for over twenty years, and this one is up there with the best. Location is central for easy day trips. The resort property is very well maintained. We used the pool and the grill where we met many friendly owners and renters. There’s even water aerobics in the morning! The condo is exactly as described in words and photos (the view is to die for). Nice quality furnishings, tableware, kitchenware, bedding. We were thrilled to find Netflix so that we could follow our fav. series. The printer was handy for printing out our boarding passes. Shave ice, ABC Store and a bakery are a 10 minute walk down the beach. We had a lovely week.

If your going to Maui, this is the place to stay! Everything that is in the description of the condo is true. The condo has a great view of the ocean from the kitchen all the way to the balcony. The condo is beautifully decorated and very clean. The bed is very comfortable, which was a big deal after the fight there. They have almost everything you will need already at the condo. We walked to the farmers market and bakery every other day. The beach was great to walk on and saw a lot of fish and turtles. Everyone at the complex was nice and easy to get along with. We ended up there during the Hurricane and the owners checked on us daily during the storm. We highly recommend staying here and is where we will stay when we go back.

Excellent location on island, easy to get to Lahaina, Waimea or the airport areas. Watching the ocean was mesmerizing. The bed was so lovely we are looking for the same mattress here! Thanks Again!

James & Lori’s condo was everything we could have hoped for and more on our very first family holiday with our just turning 1 year-old son. Upon arrival we were greeted by our light, bright, and thematically decorated home for the next week. It was plush, comfortable, and inviting in a way that none of the other condos in the resort appeared to be. But what made it truly unforgettable was the simply restorative beach and ocean view from the balcony. As soon as we walked out and saw it we knew our weeks of research trying to find the perfect Maui condo had been worthwhile. Getting awoken early each morning by our son while on vacation was also actually made pleasant as we got to watch the sunrise from the balcony before taking a family walk up and down the beach, coffee in hand. Then, every evening we would walk it’s length again as it set, this time with a cold glass of wine/beer in hand. Those mornings and evenings for me were one of the main highlights of the trip. Everyone was happy and relaxed, and we were together.
Leading up to, during, and after the vacation James & Lori had been brilliantly responsive via email whenever I contacted them. We were also amazed at the amount of amenities and appliances that came with the condo. Great internet, TV, every kitchen appliance, pot, and pan you could need alongside basic food items, etc. It is clear that James & Lori take special care in ensuring their guests don’t want for anything and truly feel at home there. We loved the condo so much that we contacted them and stayed an extra night. We’re already planning our return next year!

First time in Maui and wow. We had an amazing time. The view from this condo is breathtaking. The complex is beautiful and RIGHT on the water. Beach walks ending with cocktails and lunch at the resort sandwich shop topped the experience. I really appreciated you calling while I was there to check on us and if we had everything we needed. It was a nice personal touch. We appreciate all the amenities you provided for us to use, (and not have to buy). The beaches are spectacular and we had a good time just re-connecting as a couple. Thanks again for providing a quiet, romantic setting for us married folks.

We stayed at this beautiful condo in Kihei for a week in early May, and loved every minute of it. You seriously can't beat the view from the lanai - it's 180 degrees of gorgeous ocean and swaying palm trees. We loved listening to the waves and palm trees while making coffee in the morning, and waking up to that view was the best! The owners of this unit have gone out of their way to ensure that their guests have everything they need for an awesome and effortless vacation. They've provided beach towels, snorkels, beach chairs, coolers . . . you name it, it's within arms' reach. The condo itself is gorgeous - it's freshly painted, with new furniture and a super comfy bed. I was kind of afraid to mess it up, in fact! :) The location is really convenient, too. Right between Lahaina and Wailea, so it's an easy drive to either side of the island. We really enjoyed our stay, and can't wait to return!! Thank you so much for an awesome vacation

We spent a week in this beautiful condo and cannot explain how great it was in words...because it was all about the view and the atmosphere. When you walk in, all you see is ocean, palm trees and sky!!! You hear the waves, and can hardly believe you are staying so close to this amazing beach!! The owners have gone to great lengths to make their condo beautifully decorated, organized and comfortable. You will feel as though you are staying at a beach house from a magazine! There isn't anything I would change, and it has inspired me to decorate our cottage...on the Atlantic Ocean....with some artwork.
The check-in process was a breeze and we like the App for my iPad that sent great information and then our pass code for the door before we arrived. Without hesitation We can recommend this condo to anyone wanting to stay in Maui. Thanks to the owners who have taken renting out their condo seriously, and made it first class in every way.

The view from the balcony is amazing! This apartment has clean, comfortable, updated furnishings, and came equipped with everything you need to make yourself at home including soap, shampoo and conditioner, laundry detergent, spices for cooking, and beach chairs and towels. We rented a pack n play and a jumper for our 5 month old son. The pack n play fit snugly beside the bed in the bedroom and there was sufficient space for the jumper in the living room. James and Lori also provided us with shopping information and directions from the airport prior to our arrival, which saved me from having to find this information. My husband and I would not hesitate to recommend this unit to a friend.
Sugar Beach Resort is situated on a nice stretch of beach. While there were several people in the pool and BBQ area, it never seemed too crowded or noisy. There is plenty of grassy area or sand to spread out and relaxed. We especially enjoyed long walks on the beach while watching the sunset. In addition to Dina's Sandwich, Sugar Beach Resort is walking distance (walk on the beach, not the road) to an ABC store, shaved ice stand and bakery.
This unit located at Sugar Beach is perfect for a relaxing low key Maui vacation!

We found our paradise !! My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at Sugar Beach Resort in Maui. The view is amazing! How wonderful to hear the waves crashing just below. Soothing and so romantic! So nice to be able to cook meals in and also use the BBQ's at the pool. My husband enjoyed meeting other guy's cooking at the BBQ's. It was quite the social atmosphere. We have been to Maui several times and really liked the location of your condo. So much better than staying in a motel with all the amenities you provided. Thank you so much for the wonderfully decorated tropical atmosphere we had an amazing vacation and will be booking again real soon.
