The perfect start to our Maui anniversary trip. Owners communicated readily and answered all questions promptly. The beach is fanatastic and the views from the lanai were excellent from sunrise to sunset. Convenient location for exploring the area as well

Our time at Rich & Suzanne’s place at Sugar Beach was heavenly. Centrally located, a gorgeous sandy beach, great restaurants, local trails and all that we needed. The suite was clean and well stocked. Communication with our hosts was easy, positive and uncomplicated. The king sized bed was soft and comfy. The complex’s grills were fab and there was a local convenience store within walking distance for those little emergency needs. We even had our own natural alarm clocks of the wild jungle fowl who seemed to delight in waking us up early and urge us on with our day. We loved every minute of our stay and hope to come back soon and do it all again.

Easy to get to anywhere on the island. Property backs up to the beach and has an excellent view of neighboring islands. The kitchen is fully stocked with every utensil one might need. Washer and dryer in unit was helpful as well.

Central location to do anything and everything on Maui. My wife and I loved sitting on the lanai 25 yards from the water and having breakfast and drinks at night and just watch the water. Clean and exactly as described.

We rented this condo at the end of May 2024 for 8 days. Can't say enough great things about Sugar Beach resort. The property was always clean, and the staff maintain the grounds and pool area every day so that you will have a nice stay! The condo was awesome and is in a perfect spot facing the ocean. We had a wonderful anniversary and Rich was the best host to work with on all aspects.

Totally relaxed and was mesmerized by the view and sound of the ocean from this condo. We eat in almost every meal. Kitchen was adequately furnished. Folks at the barbecue were friendly and generous. Fun conversations! Fun time. Can’t wait to return.

The property's location is excellent—literally steps from the beach. The views of the Maui sunsets could not be any better. The unit is super clean and comfortable with plenty of towels, chairs, and outdoor use items like beach chairs and blankets. The Sugar Beach pool is a perfect size with plenty of lounging area. A short walk down the beach brings you to the Sugar Beach Bakery - yum! Generally, you need to drive to get to restaurants but there are plenty near by to choose from. Overall, this was a wonderful experience. Thanks for sharing your home with us.

My daughter and I enjoyed our stay at Sugar Beach. The condo was in a great location in the complex central to everything. The view was amazing. The condo was well stocked, clean and comfortable. I would definitely stay here again when I return to Maui. Mahalo!

Condo sits right on the water and the balcony is great for enjoying the sounds of the waves. The overall property is great and long beachwalks are easily accessible. Nice pool/hot tub and landscaping and access to all island attractions.
Make sure you do a sunrise summit on Haleakala, it is beautiful and only about an hour drive. We also did the Road to Hana and although a full day of driving it was a unique experience.
Road travel was easy on Maui and food was availlable close by.

The location is absolutely perfect. Away from the hustle and bustle of South Kihei. Our view from the lenei is beautiful. We watched many sunsets from here. The condo had everything we needed for our stay. Plenty of amenities especially the well stocked kitchen. The only downside is the shower. The water pressure was way too much. A new shower head would help with that.
Overall all we give it a 5 star rating. We would stay here again!

The property is very well kept and check in process was very easy. The sunsets from the Lanai were amazing. The beach out front is calm and made for a great spot for early morning and sunset swims.
We will definitely consider sugar beach again for future vacations on Maui. Mahalo !

This property was nicely updated and maintained and right on the beach. The hosts were easy to get in contact with and helpful during our stay. We would recommend this property to others looking for a vacation rental in South Maui!

This condo is in Kihei. This was our first time to Maui, and weren’t sure where it stay on the island. Kihei is the perfect location. It’s between Lahaina and Kaanapali in one direction and Wailea in the other direction. It’s a little breezy in Kihei, but on warm days it is refreshing.

Very peaceful and quiet complex, which was perfect! Nicely furnished. The staff at the resort is really friendly and helpful, as are the owners of the condo. We enjoyed watching whales breaching and playing off in the distance and got into the aloha spirit that is Hawaii. Just what we needed!

Pros: gorgeous view from the balcony, clean unit, well-stocked with basic supplies, awesome access to nice beach, good WiFi
Cons: thin walls, very hard water pressure in the shower, squeaky fan, flat pillows, no binder of local recommendations you typically find at other rentals, no way to stream to TV (only important if you’re stuck inside on a rainy day, which we were)
Overall the pros outweighed the cons, and we enjoyed our stay! There are just a couple improvements that could make this a 5-star stay. Thank you, Rich and Suzanne.

We absolutely loved our stay at this property. It's convenient to many areas. We felt very safe. The pool area is really nice if you aren't an ocean person. The condo had everything we needed. Shower pressure was great. The A/C was cold. The bed was comfortable. The reason why I booked this condo was for the views and they did not disappoint. Communication from the hosts was excellent. I would highly recommend this property for a stay in Kihei.

This Sugar Beach resort property more than met our expectations! The pictures are great but the experience of being right on the beach, listening to the waves and watching the nightly sunset from the lanai cannot be captured! The grounds were beautiful, pool awesome, you can rent snorkel gear right there, walking distance to an ABC store as well as Sugar Beach Bake shop, quiet beach for morning and evening walks, I could go on and on!! Unit was beautiful, clean, comfortable, updated, and had everything you need for a day on the beach. I highly recommend this property!!

Our stay was great. The condo had everything we needed. Just big enough for us two. The onsite office gave great advice. Very quiet and family friendly. Be sure to book all excursions in advance. Sugar beach water is a little dark from the sand, but several other beaches around to pick from. Loved eating breakfast on the balcony. Internet service wasn't the greatest but we made due. Overall, would stay again!

We stayed at Sugar Beach 216 for 5 nights while we explored the south shore, up country and the Road to Hana and we couldn’t have asked for a better location with easy access to all of those places. The condo was very clean, the bed was super comfortable, and the condo had everything we could possibly need (the Tommy Bahama chairs, cooler and beach umbrella we used almost every day!) If we ever come back to Maui we will stay here again. Mahalo!

The condo was exactly as described on web site. We have stayed many times in different units here and this was definitely the cleanest and well stocked with everything needed for cooking in. The view from the deck was amazing. We watched whales cruising out front almost daily. New Tommy Bahama chairs were delivered while we were there. You won’t go wrong choosing this unit for your vacation.

This unit has an amazing view from the lanai, and sugar beach is a wonderful spot to swim and sunbath. Clean and well cared for grounds, pool & hot tub too. If we come back to Maui we would choose to stay here!

We had an amazing stay in Maui! The island is beautiful and we had great weather while we were there in early October. The beach at Sugar Beach is long and was not very crowded while we were there. The water is not super clear there, but was still safe to swim in. It was quite windy in Kihei, but the breeze often felt great. The pool and hot tub were clean and the property was well maintained. The condo was fairly clean and comfortable for two people. The coffee pot was cracked so we could not use that, but there was also a french press that worked fine. The shower curtain was a bit mildewy and the water pressure was so hard it sprayed all over the bathroom. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and will definitely be returning to Maui to explore more of the island and all it has to offer!

The pictures for this unit do not do it justice. The views from the lanai were gorgeous. The beach is just outside the unit. It was very clean and well stocked. We had everything we needed. Excellent communication with owners. All questions were answered in a timely manner. When we come back to Maui we will try to stay here again.

This is no joke, the view was as pretty as the pictures, we will be back someday again. Condo was perfect, everything we needed, clean and really quiet at night, even though close to the stairs and elevator, we never really heard to much with bedroom windows closed. Great airflow and just wonderful views and people watching on the beach. Beach so close and easy to get to, loved sitting right on the beach a few steps away. Thank you got the beautiful stay. The bed was so comfortable too.

This is my first time to Maui, and my husbands second since he was a teenager. The stay at Sugar Beach resort has been truly lovely. Room 216 didn’t disappoint, it was exactly as described. The room is perfect for two people, and the ocean isn’t but 20 yards from the lanai. We were able to sit and have breakfast watching the water, and at night you can hear the ocean in the bedroom. It was really great to have a good A/C and a washer/dryer in the room. The amenities provided were great! The pool and hot tub were big and not terribly full so that was cool. The property was quiet and all the staff were friendly. The location is a bit north of town but it’s less than a 5 min drive there and it’s nice to not feel so crowded with other condos. The view and atmosphere here is the best and next time we come to Maui, we will certainly be staying in Sugar Beach 216 again. Mahalo!

Had an awesome stay in condo 216, smooth check-in, everything was as pictured. Amazing lanai with perfect sunset views, watched the whales jumping all day long! Pool was great, plenty of lawn chairs to go around. We did breakfasts in the condo and found it very well stocked. Beach chairs and umbrella were great. About a 10-15 minute drive to Kihei, close to Paia and to airport. Would definitely return!

The location is perfect. The ocean and beach are beautiful and conveniently located. At some resorts, you need to cross the highway to get to the ocean. Not here as you are literally on the beach. The ocean side of the Plantation building has the best views in my opinion.
You will need a rental car, or the ability to taxi or uber from here. We rented a car and were easily able to navigate the island. This condo includes parking, which was convenient. We also used the services of the activity center that is included with the condo rental: Maui Sights and Treasures. Mary was able to get us tickets and deals to several activities that I had not even considered. Everything we did was fabulous! She also recommended restaurants, highlighted a map for us to help us get around, and gave us lots of helpful insights including the best time of day to visit sights. The staff was really helpful.
As for the condo, ours was great. Very clean. Updated floors, bathroom, and kitchen. Very comfortable furniture. All the items you needed for a great stay. We stopped at the Safeway nearby and bought our own food and household items. Np. There are grills by the beach if you want to use them. There is a pool, but we did not use it as we prefer ocean swimming. The beach, area around the pool, and the property were clean and well maintained.
I cannot say enough good things about this place. I vacation every year with my daughter and she said that this was the best stay she ever had. Considering that we usually stay at 4 and 5 star resorts, that says a lot. I researched several hotels and condos on Maui and the Sugar Beach area before settling on this one. I would stay here again without hesitation.
Mahalo to our hosts and the staff at Sugar Beach.

All I wanted in a VRBO when I visited Maui was to have an ocean view and this place offered that and so much more. The condo is literally right on the ocean and the owners provide everything you'll ever need to enjoy your stay - dishes, beach towels, sunscreen, condiments, even boogie boards and beach chairs! I spent every morning drinking coffee on the lanai and watching the sunrise. My only critique is that there aren't any restaurants or shops within walking distance. It's about 4 miles from downtown Kihei, but we had a rental car and the ocean views were 100% worth it. Definitely stoked on this find and would absolutely stay here again.

The pictures of this place are beautiful but it still falls short of the experience. The place is clean and fully stocked with everything we needed. The location is close to everything and being central in the island it was never a far drive away to see the sites. You're basically on the beach and it feels like a private beach its never crowded. The resort its self has everything you need to be able to fully experience Maui. We will definitely love to come back. Mahalo for making our stay so memorable

What a wonderful location Susan has as the condo sits right on the beach offering gorgeous views and complimentary oceans kisses as the winds bring a the droplets of sea and the occasional rain right to the patio. This is an ideal location with easy access to all the island Maui has to offer. Will be coming back again and again to enjoy the quaint and comfortable accommodations that had everything we needed to enjoy this little slice of heaven on earth.

This was our first time to use HomeAway. It was great! We had everything we needed plus more. Loved the kitchen and all the extra condiments already stocked. Grounds very well kept. Sugar Beach was like paradise. We saw whales everyday and even saw a young man propose on the beach at sunset all while sitting on our beachfront lanai. Do not want to leave!

This was the absolute best property we have stayed at in Maui. You are literally steps away from the beach and can fall asleep to the ocean waves. We watched whales a few mornings from the condo. It was fabulous. The condo had everything we needed from beach chairs to boogie boards. Big thanks to Suzanne for sharing her marvelous condo for the week. My wife and I hope Suzanne's condo is open the next time we visit Maui. We are so spoiled now. DJ and Richelle

Very well equipped ocean/beach front condo with beautiful view of ocean and sunsets.

The property was very nice and the staff worked hard each day to keep it clean and refreshing. The resort sits right on the ocean and #216 has a beautiful ocean view. When I was on the lanai I almost felt like I could touch the ocean. The unit was nice and clean and fully equipped with everything you could need. Beautiful views abound all around the resort. This resort is also centrally located which made it easy to get places. Aloha!

Words can't begin to describe how much I enjoyed my time in this condo. Furnishings were lovely - well coordinated tropical/seaside theme in gentle shades of greens, cream, and sea foam blue. Kitchen is well equipped with lots of dishes and a variety of different cooking pans and skillets. King size bed so comfortable I slept 10 hours my first night. Condo is nicely maintained. A light bulb burned out and housekeeping replaced it the next day. Unit was very quiet. A family with children were staying in unit next door and I never heard noise thru the walls or from unit above.
The lanai is without doubt the best feature of the condo - 180 unobstructed view of the ocean. Enjoyed coffee there every morning before walking miles on the beach and swimming in the warm ocean to start each day. Closed each day by walking west on the beach as the sun dropped behind the hills leaving the water in a reflection of golds as I walked back.
This was my third time to Maui and I will stay in this condo every year when I return to Hawaii. Mahalo!
Wonderful place to relax

We had the pleasure of staying in this beautiful condo with breathtaking views. Take a walk down the soft sandy beach to the ABC store if you find you need anything although this condo has a fully stocked kitchen with all the amenities you need to cook a complete meal. The bed is huge and super comfortable! We took advantage of the sauna, hot tub, and pool every night and enjoyed barbecuing on the provided gas grills. I highly recommend this condo and hope to return soon. Mahalo!!

We visited Maui for our one year anniversary, and could not have been happier with this unit. The view of the ocean from the lanai was breathtaking, and we were literally steps from the pool and the beach. Everything that we needed was provided, including towels and even some dish soap and laundry soap. This was a very comfortable unit and was a good home base for our adventures, including the road to Hana, a boat trip to Molokini, and heading to Haleakala to see the sunrise. Highly recommended!
