Our Condo is well equipped and gets frequent updates. The owners typically come and use the Condo two or more times per year, so we get to manage the updates and improvements by personally seeing and using the condo. We like the condo to be well maintained, clean, operational, and very comfortable.

Staying in a ground floor unit allows you to simply slide your lanai door open and extend your living space out on to the grass. This is so convenient, especially when traveling with kids who love to get out doors and play without being confined to a balcony. Located just steps away from the 'heart' of the Sugar Beach Resort, you will find the swimming pool, jacuzzi, sauna, putting green and 6 BBQ grills right at your disposal!

It is easy to see why the Sugar Beach Resort is a top rated property to spend your Hawaiian Vacation.

The Sugar Beach Resort is situated right in the center of the Island on the outskirts of Kihei. Located on the longest stretch of sandy beach on the Island of Maui (approx. 5 miles long) and just a quick 10 mile drive south of the Maui Airport will have you at the ocean's doorstep in no time flat. Being centrally located allows quick and easy access to other parts of the Island. Just a 5 minute drive to Maalaea Harbor. About 25 minutes west to Lahaina and 30 minutes west to Kaanapali. Head east, the other direction and in just 5 minutes you will be in the heart of Kihei and 15 minutes will have you in the resort area of Wailea.

Although our family enjoys the evening sunsets and dinners cooked at the BBQ grill there are many great restaurants on the Island to choose from along with many great activities to fill your vacation with wonderful Hawaiian memories. To name a few; golfing, snorkeling, canoeing, kayaking ,fishing, whale watching, hiking and bike riding.

A couple of recommendations:
Consider buying the book “Maui Revealed” by Andrew Doughty. Probably available in your local Barnes and Noble. The book gives an insider view of suggested things to see and do while on the island.

Our favorite Restaurants -
1. Mama’s Fish House (Great Seafood and nice atmosphere for Adults - Expensive, but wonderful).
2. Kihei Caffe - For Breakfast if you are Hungry! (cash only) - Great Food excellent portions.
3. Hula Grill - Beachside/Sand Cafe: This is the casual part of restaurant. Menu is not extensive, but you sit outside put feet in the sand and enjoy some Hawaiian Music.4. ASansei - Kihei: Sushi is their speciality.

Surfing -
1. Recommend Maui Wave Riders. You can rent boards in Kihei, and return them to a different location such as Lahaina. They give lessons if needed.
2. Paddle Boarding is lot’s of fun too. You can rent these right at Sugar Beach Resort with Maui Sights and Treasures.

Snorkeling: The first 2 listed have bathrooms, clear water, and a beautiful beach. Best to go in the morning before trade winds pick up.
1. Our favorite place is in Makena. “Maluaka Beach”
2. Kahekili - Airport Beach in Kaanapali
3. Ahihi Cove: Makena (no bathrooms and rocky beach, but nice cove to snorkel in)

Hikes -
1. Waihe’e Ridge Trail - We have enjoyed this trail.
2. Waihe Valley Trail - (my wife and her girlfriend’s really enjoyed this one).

Our family with a teen and 8 yr old stayed here as our jumping off point to explore Maui. It was a perfect central location and the accommodations were just what we needed. Highly recommend!

This place was perfect for our Maui adventures. With its location just outside of Kihe, we felt like we could get around the island without too much driving. The condo’s exterior is beautiful and well maintained. Gary was available anytime we needed him or we were able to contact Maui Condo and Home Agency. The condo is perfect for two people and had anything and everything you needed. Big bonus was the patio that gave us access to the beach within seconds!

This condo was perfect! We had our 2 year old and 5 year old with us and the pull out couch worked great for them. Being on the ground floor was so convenient for accessing the beach and pool. Sugar Beach is a great walking beach but we also swam right in front of the condo quite a bit. The view from the condo was amazing, so close to the beach, and so relaxing. We had a great stay and would definitely stay here again!

My wife and I stayed here for our 25 year anniversary as we enjoyed Maui for 2 weeks. We really enjoyed the condo and everything was as listed in VRBO. Having the washer and dryer sure makes it nice as we were able to pack light for 2 weeks. The beach is very nice. Went for walks every day. We took advantage of the little bakery not too far down the beach and got our share of banana bread and scones!! Gary was great to book with and everything went perfectly smooth. I would recommend this condo to any couple planning their trip to Maui! You’ll love it and the location puts you right in the middle of Maui so it’s very easy to get where you want to go.

Great place, it had everything we needed from cooking to boogie boards and chairs. Awesome views for sunrise, sunset and any time of day. The location was clean, safe and fun for all ages. The beach photos are accurate - small beach that is kind of sandy. It was not super busy. The only downfall was the runoff from storms, the water was murky in Dec. and had a lot of small bark / chunks of soil and dirt, so it was hard to enjoy the beach right outside the condo for most of the days. Many great beaches were within a short drive, so we did that. Overall great trip and great location!

Unit was clean and very well equipped. Amazing location on beach and central to all activities. Beach chairs, umbrella, body boards, coolers, beach towels, all provided!

Gary was super helpful and informative right from the beginning! My mother in law and I as well as my 4 month old son booked a trip last minute while my husband was overseas. They accomadated us so kindly! When we arrived, the condo was very clean and you are immediately welcomed by the sound of the amazing waves just right outside the screen door. I loved all the aloha decor and special touches which made it feel so much like home! Everything was well stocked. We enjoyed sunsets on the lanai, beach walks, and meeting the other sweet guests staying at the sugar resort. My son took the best naps here listening to the waves! He loved this condo as much as we did! Thanks again Gary and Kara! This trip was much needed for us! This condo is the best for exploring the island great location with the best sushi options close by :)

love Sugar Beach and so happy to come back after Covid. The unit was beautifully appointed and quality throughout. although the check in procedure was a bit confusing it all worked out. the state of Hawaii’s rules were followed but the way to find out the good to go checkmark was not easy for older people to get through.

The condo was easy to find and access. The owner was proactive about getting in touch with us. Beautiful spot, close to snorkeling beaches.

We loved staying at the condo. The location was perfect and we enjoyed being able to walk right out the lanai doors to the beach/ocean right in front of us for swimming, snorkeling, or just a quiet walk together. The condo was well stocked with everything we'd need for our much-needed holiday. Gary is a wonderful host and I can't say enough good things about how it was working with him to arrange our stay. We'll definitely be back :)

Had everything we needed including view of the ocean and the sound of the crashing wave. Being on the 1st floor, 20steps to the beach and 40steps to the pool is AWESOME! The owner and mgmt team is excellent to. We will definitely come back to this place when we come back to Maui.

The condo was very clean , but the best part was no shoes needed! Walk to the sand or the pool and barbeque in grass. We will definitely come back again. Thanks again Gary for the great experience!

We stayed in #120 in March of 2018 and had an amazing time! The location and view were unsurpassed. Great beach, loved the ground floor being just steps to the beach. Close to BBQ, pool, deli, but none are in site line. All you see from the condo patio is the gorgeous pacific ocean! We enjoyed the beach chairs, boogie boards and had all the tools we needed in the kitchen to prepare our meals. The condo was clean, well appointed and very comfortable! Thank you to the Moores for such an enjoyable experience!

After traveling for a whole day with an infant and toddler, opening the patio doors at this property led to a giant sigh of relief that the effort to get there was worth it. Though the unit itself is small, having that direct access out to the lawn and from there to the beach made it seem so much bigger, and gave the kids an easy outlet for their energy. The unit is wonderfully maintained and everything has a nice island style to get you in the mood. Because our kids are so young we did bring our own playpen and rig up a little bed for the toddler in the main bedroom rather than using the pull-out couch (and I was not giving up the king sized bed to a 3 year old so I could sleep on the pull-out myself, no thank you!), but were they older and going to bed a bit later, that would definitely be a more comfortable way to go. As it was, sitting on the patio and watching them on our baby monitor worked great and made us feel like we were still getting our own slice of island night life. The beach is beautiful and soft and great for swimming. There's a great shaved ice place just a short walk down the beach. The resort has a lovely warm pool and a bunch of BBQs set up next to communal loungers perfectly placed to watch the sunset. The unit is very well stocked with everything you need for the beach or to cook as fancy a meal as you'd want. Our only complaint is that the patio only had one lounge chair! The property is quite far north but everything in Maui is so close it still doesn't take long to get anywhere. I would not be terribly surprised if my family and I make staying here a bit of a thing!

My wife and I loved staying on the ground level at Sugar beach resort! In the mornings we enjoyed coffee on the lanai followed by a walk down the beach just steps away. We used the beach chairs from the condo to sit down in the sand during the warm afternoons watching the whales and socialized with other guests/owners of the resort around the bbq in the evening. The shaved ice at Ululani’s, just a five minute walk down the beach, was the best I had on the island! I never thought I would use the hot tub when we booked but we enjoyed it every night after a busy day touring Maui! Sugar beach’s central location made it easy to explore the road to Hana, Haleakala, Lahaina and Kihei. The condo was clean, organized and had everything we needed for our stay. Communicating with the owner was always fast and pleasant. This was our first trip to Maui and certainly won’t be the last and when we do go back we will check to see if Sugar Beach 120 is available...

If you want to complain, don't come here. This place was near about perfect! Plenty of room for two people. The location is very central - easy to get to all parts of the island. The area is a very safe and clean area. Some people along the beach but basically very private. We could sit on the patio and not even see neighbors. The view is breathtaking!!!! The beach is easy to walk and just a few yards away. The condo was very homey but most importantly very clean. I am hard to please when it comes to cleanliness and this condo was amazing. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you would need to cook and well organized. We were very impressed and when we decide to return to this beautiful island, we will definitely try to stay here.

This was our second time staying SB 120, and it again did not disapoint. The condo was clean and comfortable, and steps away from the beach. We don't have much to add from the other positive reviews, other than if you are looking for a relaxing way to experince Maui without all the crowds and craziness of the resort areas, this is a great spot. The best part is you are not far away from anywhere on the island, so you can easily see a lot from this central base. As this was our second time, we spent more time at the condo and sugar beach itself. We rented stand up paddle boards from the shop on sight, and saw many turtles. Overall, another great stay and we look forward to coming back again!

Working and communicating with Gary was so easy! He helped arrange my booking the same day as arrival and was so kind and professional. The condo is gorgeous and every detail was thought of. The beach is directly out the lanai, and great for swimming and runs on the sand. It was a very relaxing area and not too crowded like other areas of Kihei are. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be back! Aloha!

The location is beautiful and the condo was great. However, on the last morning of our stay we had a crew tell us they had to come in to change out television boxes at 9:30am while we were trying to get packed up to leave. When I asked the manager if it had to happen right at that minute seeing as though we were checking out that day he was clearly annoyed with my request. I didn't come to paradise to be treated with hostility for not wanting workmen in my room while trying to shower and pack.

Spent four nights here and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The condo was very clean and had everything we needed including a very handy washer and dryer. The view is spectacular, and we enjoyed having our meals on the patio just steps away from the ocean. Having little extras like beach chairs and coolers was a big plus, too. The location is perfect for seeing the whole island including the Road to Hana, the Maui Ocean Center, great snorkeling (even saw a Sea Turtle), etc. The booking and check-in process was seamless, and the owners very communicative & quick to respond. Highly recommend booking a stay at Sugar Beach #120.

Note: Vacancy calendar is approximate. Visit the owner/manager's reservation site to verify your dates.
