Very relaxing stay. Amazing view and very quiet condo. Great comfortable bed and everything you need. John was a great host, I had issue with wifi when I arrived and John called provider and walked me through resetting it. Worked the whole rest of my stay. Spent most of my time on the Lanai. Second floor condo and so close to the ocean you don’t even need to leave. Pool, hot tub and grills at the resort all work great and never real busy. Easy parking right in front of condo. I did not want to leave but back to reality. Can’t wait to return!

Great property. Only hitch was the check-in process because the Vrbo web site was down. After contacting the host directly, she was above and beyond.

We loved our time at Sugar Beach Resort. Very convenient to have a restaurant on site for something quick to eat, especially the first afternoon that we got there when we hadn’t went grocery shopping yet. Our first time on a ground condo and we liked it since it was so close to access the pool. Although, we couldn’t see the ocean, we would definitely rent one again. Beach is very clean and so is the grounds of the resort. Condo had everything we needed with some extras we didn’t expect, such as paper towel, garbage bags, soap, toilet paper to name a few things. We bought some paper towel and toilet paper to pay it forward. Definitely recommend this condo/resort.

The whole process was like breeze. Totally friendly and the condo had every thing which we never even imagined. Let me tell, it includes a Binocular , Board games, yoga mats etc, etc, etc. I was requesting for a rice cooker (electric) which was purchased and kept before we reached that place. Each and every item were thoughtfully purchased and available there. Just we felt we are at home.The property manager Myra Acosta is clarified all the questions and doubts we had. We left our airpod there and it was identified and she said will be shipping it soon back to our home address. Beach view was excellent. Had wonderful time. I recommend this property for every one. Really enjoyed fully.

We loved it! Huge counter for preparing meals in kitchen. We loved the little restaurant down below, the best Reuben sandwich ever! The view from our room was amazing, although the lanai was a little small. Could have maybe been a tad bit cleaner, but that didn’t bother us much.we would definitely stay there again!

We loved our stay at the Sugar Beach resort, not only was it in a great location to explore everything that Maui had to offer but it was the perfect place to recharge after a day at the beach or a day out and about exploring. The suit itself was well maintained and very clean upon arrival. The whole resort was impeccable and well taken care of. If you are travelling to Maui, I would highly recommend staying at the Sugar Beach resort. PS. You must try the sandwich shop located on resort, It is awesome!

Great place, nice beach access, the facility and pool were very accessible. Unfortunately the wind tunnel effect of the sugar beach resort made it very difficult to enjoy in the afternoon. Blowing hats, books and flip flops away while trying to enjoy the pool. Thats the only reason we wouldn’t stay there again

We stayed for 9 nights. The condo was lovely, clean and had everything we needed and more. We appreciated that there is a restaurant/bar on site. Great food and drinks! Pool was nice and clean. We will be back!

This property provides an ideal place to stay in Kihei, if you’re looking to explore the coast of Maui. It has a sweet view of the sunset from the balcony and offers a quick, short path to the beach. Everything else is in easy driving distance.

We enjoyed our stay and wished we had more time in Maui. It’s a well played out ground floor unit with the beach & pool right out the door. Communication was easy and staff was friendly. We would stay here again.

The unit was as promised. The managers provided items I've had to supplement in other units in the past -- lots of laundry detergent, dishwasher detergent, trash bags, etc. Small details but annoyances if you have to go out and buy more on vacation. We've already put down our deposit for next year!

Arrived late in the evening on the day before Thanksgiving finding the condo not finished cleaning. There were cleaning supplies on the counter, floor mats on the counter, vacuum and steam mop in walk way, full trash can, dirty sheets and bedding in the pull out couch, stained mattress cover on the pull out couch, no toilet paper, damp blanket in the dryer. But the communication with the property manager, Sherry, was great from the start. Contacted her and she immediately responded. Options were to move to a different condo in a different building or stay and Sherry comes to grab the left over cleaning supplies. We chose the later since we had been traveling all day and had 2 very exhausted young children. Luckily, there was a new set of sheets in the closet for the pullout couch we could use as well. Sherry made the drive to the condo late at night to pick up the cleaning stuff and bring us a couple rolls of toilet paper in order for us to settle in for the night. We appreciated that so much. After that initial evening, it was a smooth, easy stay. Loved the sunset view from the lanai. The property is clean and well maintained. And loved that you can walk right out to the beach. Appreciated Sherry's responsiveness and willingness to make things right for us upon arrival and staying in touch with us to ensure it was a pleasant stay. This was a nice condo as a base for our travels in Maui. We loved the Kihei area from the first time we visited Maui in 2016.

Sugar Beach is the perfect spot for families. Everything a family needs is here. The condo was clean and well stocked. Having a washer, dryer, and well equipped kitchen was a blessing! We are repeat customers for a reason!

We stayed at this property for 7 days, Dec 7-14th. It was a very short drive from the airport and had free parking on the property. Found the check in email was confusing regarding which building we would be staying in/parking in. Got in late at night and were struggling with our luggage walking around trying to find out which building was “plantation” or “mill” as it’s hard to see at night when pulling in for the first time. Condo itself had great air conditioning, kitchen area and living room. Definitely will need a trip to the grocery store as the starter kit will not last you more than a few days. Unfortunately, we found a cockroach in the bed like 5 minutes after arriving. Kinda made us paranoid the entire stay about keeping our luggage zipped and off the floor to avoid bringing any friends home. We understand it’s the tropics but …. we were not super happy about that day one. Manager was great to set up additional traps to put us at ease. The bed was also so squeaky but really comfortable. Would highly recommend bringing your own beach towels (ones supplied were super small). Never had to fight to get a spot at the pool or beach. The pool and hot tub were perfect!! So clean and well maintained. It may be a Kihei thing but it was so windy on this beach!! Property was central to lots of great restaurants and other beaches. Really enjoyed Dina’s sandwitch shop for a quick lunch. Highly recommend the Kihei cafe for breakfast. Thank you for our first Maui vacation.

This place is great for the view of the sunset, beach, ocean, and pool. You even have a water feature in front of the lanai. Loved having shade during high heat. It allowed us to be on the lanai longer.

The unit has a great location and a wonderful view right on the beach. The kitchen is fine. The rest of the unit needs to be updated. I've never experienced furniture or a bed this uncomfortable. Would never stay in that unit again unless it was updated. Hawaii is very expensive and the accommodations should be special, this was not.

If you have ever stayed at Sugar Beach you know all the units are the same. Just a small one bedroom with balcony. The difference is how the owner has maintained their unit. This place had a soft uncomfortable bed. There was no ceiling fan to help move the air in the bedroom. The beach chairs were small and chinsy. The washing machine was so loud. We only used it when we left and only did very small loads. The place was clean and the couch and chair were comfortable. Loved the views!

If you have ever stayed at Sugar Beach you know all the units are the same. Just a small one bedroom with balcony. The difference is how the owner has maintained their unit. This place had a very comfortable bed. Great beach chairs. A fan over the bed for sleeping comfortable. The big issue we had was the carpet. I would compare it to a Frathouse. It is so overdue for replacement. Worn and stained so badly Also the bathroom fan was so loud. We had to choose to we wake up each other stink them out. Sounded like a helicopter was landing on the roof. The patio table glass top was broken but we never used it. Other people might have been upset.

Location at Sugar Beach is truly lovely. Condo faces beach with nice lanai overlooking the ocean framed with beautiful Palm trees. Could use a refresh in bath and paint. Lighting very poor in kitchen and bedroom. Appliances were newer and kitchen well equipped. View was just lovely.

The condo was well equipped and in a great location. Comfortable bed and furniture. We spent most of our time on the go but came each evening to watch magical sunsets. An ABC store, farmers market and shave ice are a .4 mile walk up the beach. Perfect for two adults.

We had a wonderful time! So relaxing and saw a turtle on the beach right out in front of the complex. Close to a bakery and farmers market. We loved hanging out on our deck for morning coffee and sunsets. Gorgeous pool!We loved our morning and evening walks on sugar beach!We will be back!

We had a wonderful time during our 3 week trip. The condo was a large part of it. Much nicer than we expected, and everything is top notch. Lot of extra amenities. Amazing views and soft sand beach- not crowded at all. So happy we picked this one over all the others. Totally worth it!

We enjoyed our stay in December. Great views from the living room and lanai. Basically a quiet spot, two nights got a bit loud, but others were fine. Unit has most everything you need: beach supplies (chairs, umbrella, snorkels, cooler) and stocked kitchen. Nice pool and hot tub and plenty of lounge chairs. Handy parking - there were some carts to haul things up in the elevator, but weren't there when we arrived. Great beach out front that you can walk on for hours. Would stay again.

We had a great stay! It was so wonderful being on the 1st floor with everything we needed to make ourselves comfortable. I found this location to be very convenient to all areas of the island, as this was our first time we wanted to check everything out. highly recommend and would stay again if I'm back in Maui.

Unit was great and had everything you could need. The beach is amazing, the sunsets from the lanai were epic. Location is great for access to all parts of the island. Only draw back was the neighbor next store who on a few nights of our stay was loudly entering and leaving her unit all hours of the night and early morning hours. Lots of loud talking in the entry way and door slamming coming and going. Definitely made sleeping a challenge given the front door is right by the bedroom.
