This was a great vacation at a great location and great property. The only reason we have gave 4 of 5 on cleanliness was the area carpets were quite dirty and need a clean or replacing. Al was very responsive to our questions and requests and I would recommend this suite to anyone. We will be back!

To say that this condo lived up to expectations would be an understatement. The place is clean, well laid out, with quality furnishings I might add... And the location could not be better. It feels like the owners went the extra yard and worked with a designer because the layout and quality of furnishings is absolutely perfect and harmonious. On arrival it was spotlessly clean and unlike so many other vacation rentals, stocked with enough supplies that we didn't need to run straight out to Target to buy supplies. : ) The kitchen is a gem. The cookware was of great quality and while I normally detest electric stoves, I found this one very easy to work with. Bed was comfy and clean, parking easy, washer/dryer was modern and capable, and oh yeah, the view!!! Just perfect. Also, as folks who normally stay in Kaanapali, we appreciated the central location of Kihei as it made getting anywhere on the island a snap. We'll be back!

Great condo with all amenities you will ever need. Very comfortable King bed. Beach chairs umbrella and cooler very useful. However 1 beach chair did have small tear in it. Would stay there again.

We so enjoyed listening to the ocean all day and all night. The sunsets from the lanai were gorgeous! The place was immaculately clean and so very well appointed with everything that we needed. Everything was in great running order and all the amenities that we needed had been thought about in advance. Nice quality towels and appointments. Theresa, the property manager, was so friendly and helpful. Al, the owner, had great communication and suggestions. If we return to Maui, this is our go-to place!

This was such a great place to stay. Amazing views, nice beach area, & pool area. The condo was clean and perfect for our stay.
The kitchen is fully equipped if you plan on cooking while here. The coffee maker is drip and Kcups so you are good on whichever you like or buy.
We also loved that there are beach chairs, towels, and a beach umbrella for you to use. We made a great decision choosing this condo and would do so again.

This condo unit has many personal touches and evident love. Many many kitchen pots/utensils/tools. Nice appliances. Nice TV which allows mirroring for pictures. Full size stack washer/dryer. Good clothes storage in a full size dresser bureau and 2 end tables with drawer and shelves on both sides of the bed. Owners have provided gang plugs so electronic charging is more accessible. Wonderful view! The AC did not work our first night in July…which means it was kinda uncomfortable. Notified property manager for the owner, Theresa, who contacted Association office and mechanic arrived in less than an hour and fixed the unit. There are no seasonings, not even salt and pepper, but paper towels, dishwasher and clothes washer soap are provided, as well as a small bottle of kitchen sink soap, along with some extra trash bags. Many nice details in a small space. Quite nice. Lots of WIND in this location…LOTS. Nice pool/hot tub area and nicely landscaped. Safeway a few miles away.

Great location, amazing and responsive host. We found ourselves hitting the road quite a bit to get to different areas of the island as there wasn’t as much to do around the condo. Wailea is where we probably spent most of our time and beach days. Fortunately, that was only 10-15 minutes so not that bad of a drive. Really though, we just wanted a nice, clean condo to be able to lay our heads at night with an affordable rate, so I definitely recommend Al’s place if you’re in a similar boat.

Excellent location. We most definitely saw all the highlights of Maui. Well maintained facilities and a suite that had everything we needed.

The condo is beautiful and its location is great! It’s an easy drive to great beaches, restaurants, grocery stores and attractions, and the view of the ocean from the balcony is stunning. The space is perfect for a couple, even though the bathroom is small and not terribly private (the glass door allows for good light, but also limits privacy).
It includes a full-size, fully supplied kitchen (just plan to buy all of your food, spices, and condiments, because nothing is provided), and there is a great, outdoor shared grilling area. The property’s sauna, pool, hot tub, and bar are fun as well, if you want to have a lazy, no-travel day.
Overall, this place is well worth the price! Thank you!

Been to Sugar Beach many times over the past 40 years. Great location and well maintained property. Our specific unit is probably the best we have stayed in. Up to date and nicely appointed. Hope to make a return trip next year.

Highly recommend this listing! Being central on the island is key to quickly accessing all parts of MAUI. Everything is under a half hour away and although you can’t easily walk to a bunch of restaurants we loved being able to drive to a whole host of nearby restaurants and it made our trip more fun in my opinion. Sugar beach was great to walk every morning and evening and it wasn’t jam packed like you get at other locations. The unit was well updated and being close enough to the ocean that you could throw a baseball in it for the price is unbeatable. If I’m back in MAUI in the future I’ll definitely be staying here if available.

Great stay. This building is one of just a few that are direct ocean front with no street to cross and it is very centrally located if you plan to do a lot of different things on the island. The unit is nice, renovated and comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped, both the unit and property are kept clean and well maintained. Great communication with owner and manager. Highly recommend this condo!

Loved this condo!! The location on the island is great, centrally located to be close to everything we wanted to do. The kitchen is well equipped and had everything we needed. The condo came with everything we needed for the beach too… umbrella, chairs, pool noodles, and bogey boards. It even came with an insulated bag that came in handy when we were out for extended times hiking or playing on the beach. We would definitely stay here again!

The owners were very helpful and pleasant to communicate with, the property was all that I’d hoped it would be in terms of location, relaxation on the lanai listening to the waves, beach walks, and cleanliness. We didn’t touch the TV once because we were just soaking in Maui — it was a wonderful way to start off 2022! I will be back for sure!

We enjoyed our stay at the Sugar Beach Resort 532! There is a great beach to relax on, and easy access to nearby Wailea, and only about 20 minutes to Lahaina. Dina’s Sand Witch is a great place to grab a beer or sandwich-located on the property.

Couldn't ask for anything more. Perfectly stocked and decorated unit. Loved the modern touches and walk in shower. Amazing view from the lanai, and the location of the property is ideal. Quiet area that is centrally located to anywhere you'd want to drive. Loved the morning and evening walks down Sugar Beach.
Will definitely be coming back here...

Had a great experience with this rental unit and its location. Check in was at office was a bit wonky but nothing a little cocktail on the lenai couldn’t cure🤙

I have to start by saying that we have never had an ocean view like we had at this Sugar Beach condo. It really is as wonderful as the pics here would suggest. Out on the lanai, all we could see and hear were the oceans waves crashing, the breeze in the swaying palms, and the birds chirping. The condo itself was also as described. It was the smallest condo we have stayed at in Hawaii (similar to a larger Residence Inn suite), but is well maintained and updated. It was our first time staying in Kihei and we appreciated the location--it is more centrally located than staying up at the West Shore area ( where we stayed last time). Also, Kihei seems to be drier and more sunny than up in Kapalua or Lahaina. A couple of downsides--we were not told the check in desk closed at 5 pm, so we had to call a number and then come check in personally the next day. If we had known, we would have checked in first and then gone to do our grocery shopping afterwards. The biggest disadvantage was the ferocious wind that hit the beach around 11:30 am each day. Before then, we could enjoy our time out there, but invariably, by noon, the wind was so fierce that we packed up and headed back upstairs. Depending on your plans, that may or may not be an issue for you. Overall, this was a great place to stay. The owners were very responsive and easy to work with. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Sugar Beach 532!

Amy and I enjoyed our “delayed honeymoon” at Al and Lucy’s Kihei condo! Great location that let us get to all of our Maui adventures with ease. We miss our daily and nightly time spent on the lanai…swaying palm trees and crashing waves and the sun setting with an adult beverage or two! Al was very accommodating with a late request on our part. It made our last day much more pleasurable!! We would definitely stay at Sugar Beach Condos again.
Mahalo Al and Lucy!!
Many thanks,
Chris and Amy Teppner

This was our first trip to Maui after visiting other Hawaiian islands, and this condo was perfect! We loved the area above all the others even after we drove the entire island over the 9 days we were there. The condo was well appointed, had everything we needed from towels and linens to beach chairs and an umbrella. All the appliances were new and worked great! We loved the design of the condo as well - very bright and cheerful and very much Hawaiian. We will definitely miss sitting out on the balcony with our coffee every morning watching the waves and hearing the surf. Centrally-located, it also was easy to get anywhere we wanted to go. The owners helped when we had a question as well. Highly recommend this place for a great stay on Maui!!

My wife and I stayed here for three nights as part of our Hawaii honeymoon, and it was far and away the best place we stayed. Beautifully furnished, comfortably air-conditioned, a big comfy bed, everything you could possibly need in the kitchen, gorgeous view, private resort-only sandy beach in front (we swam there every morning!), and on top of it all the location is equidistant from almost everything you could possibly do in Maui. Al was very helpful and responsive when it came to booking, checking in, etc and we had zero problems throughout the whole experience. We would absolutely recommend this place, hopefully someday we'll get the chance to stay again!

This condo was the basis of a perfect vacation. It is beautifully decorated, spacious and comfortable. The condo kitchen is fully equipped with high end appliances and equipment. The lanai provides an excellent overview of Sugar Beach, a wonderful clean expanse of sand with constant surf. The beautiful sunsets provided great wallpaper shots for our phones. The location of the condo seemed ideal for Maui. It was 20 minutes from the airport and offered easy access in three directions. An eclectic array of restaurants is easily accessible on Kihei Road just east
of the condo. I cannot conceive of a better place for a Hawaii vacation than this condo and look forward to revisiting it soon.

The condo was nicely decorated and comfortable. The view was like none other, and the beach was literally three steps away. Sugar Beach is a nice, long Beach where you can swim, snorkel, paddle board, or just walk. We absolutely loved it and will definitely be returning. The property owners were very nice and helpful, as well. Highly recommend staying at this location in Maui!

Where to start? The condo itself is totally renovated. Very imaginative use of glass and modern fixtures make this a gorgeous unit. The beach looks close enough to touch and the unit is high enough to give a great view of a large bay. We spent hours on the lanai watching the outriggers, kayakers and paddleboarders pass by. Great walking beach; completely free of shells, seaweed, and anything else but beautiful sand. I usually don't walk barefoot, but it was no problem here. After using the memory foam bed for a week, we bought memory foam when we got home. Best sleep. Grills, pool/hot tub and on-site activity planning office make the Sugar Beach complex an excellent choice. Also turned out to be a perfect location. The complex is very near an intersection that makes getting to West Maui, South Maui and Central Maui very easy. I would highly recommend Sugar Beach and this unit in particular. There is nothing here that will disappoint.
