This is our second time in this lovely condo! Everything was clean and beautiful, as usual. The hosts are outstanding! You can tell from the minute you walk in that they care about their home, and fill it with everything guests could want or need. The bed is comfy, the furniture is light and bright, the kitchen is well stocked, there is plenty of space, but the best part is the lanai. Watching the waves during sunset and sunrise is a memory for a lifetime. The condo is extra special because it's a corner unit and you can see all the way down Sugar Beach toward Kihei. We will be back to this very special place! We just love it!

This is a wonderful VRBO and the pics are spot on. We stay in lots of short term rentals and this unit was exceptional. Very well stocked with everything you could need. Little touches like lots of hooks in bathroom and bedroom to hang clothes/towels. Kitchen very well stocked. Location is ideal for visiting Maui. The property is wonderful with miles of beach to walk right outside your door.

The location was perfect. Unit was clean and well stocked. The best part was watching the sunset right from the balcony. Absolutely beautiful. Direct oceanfront, quiet and not busy at all. Definitely would stay here again.

The location can’t be beat. Spectacular sunset in a quiet environment. Everything you need is here. Had the best time ever. If I had to find a negative I’d say the couch is uncomfortable but that it. Will be back for sure Highly recommend.

We reserved this property based on the reviews of others. The condo is wonderful! Amenities that are important to us that this one has: beachfront access, comfy bed, clean, location. The owners are so incredibly blessed to own a slice of heaven. The information received upon booking was also incredibly thorough.

Very friendly owner, very clean, very well equipped kitchen! The only thing which is bothering a bit is the noise you hear from the traffic/street next to it.

Loved the view and ocean front and the pool! Living room was very nice with rug. Bathroom and bedroom are in dire need of total cleaning and updating…condo needs painting, flooring, new larger counter in kitchen, bathroom overhaul and updating. Just trying to be honest. My daughter stayed in 111 and it was totally updated, painted, clean, with hard wood floors and larger kitchen counter.

Beautifully renovated and updated unit at the lovely Sugar Beach Resort. Perfect location on the island and so rare to get such a beautiful unit with a full ocean view, beach access, AC, and in unit washer dryer. The unit is stocked with everything you could need. Do not hesitate to book!

The staff was very welcoming and getting our room was really easy. We really appreciated not having a key and just having a code was so much more convenient when going back to the room. Everything was really clean and we had a nice view on the beach! We went snorkling right on the beach and we saw some amazing things!we really enjoyed the access to the beach! If you can’t stand the sound of the highway, just be aware that the room is close to it (but we really didn’t mind!)

My husband and I needed a place to unwind, and we decided on Maui, unsure of what we would do. We found that, even though there were dozens of options of things we could do, we ended up, deciding ultimately that we wanted to spend most of our time at the condo because you can’t beat a private beach! Perfect size condo. Beach chairs were a huge plus. Loved the tranquility of the area!!

We had such a great time on Maui and at SBR!! We felt comfortable like at home, but with all the amenities of a great vacation. The condo was well stocked with everything we could need. It’s also centrally located to have easy access to all corners of the island. The beach is great for long walks and not crowded. Our room being on the south of the property was great because we didn’t get harsh sun on our lanai during the day, plus had a great view of the sunset. We highly recommend this condo and definitely will be booking again!

Recommend kitchen upgrade. A bit difficult to chop things on the short counter top. Hard to fit things in cupboards. Since they are not deep. Otherwise the amenities in unit were great. Purchase water filter for next guest.Thank you for allowing us to stay in this unit

Check in was good. When I reserved a year in advance, it showed a high top table on the balcony. I was disappointed to see a low top table. Wish the owners would have provided information on how to get local stations on the TV and how to use the induction stove. We figured out the stove but used my UTube tv account to access programs on the television.. our unit was very clean and good view. Bed was most comfortable. Did not care for having to put bed linen in the washer before we left but we did do this. The grounds , pool and beach area were all very good. All in all we had a great time.

I am not sure I can mention all the amazing things of this stay but I will try! First, the owners were amazing. The communication style made it feel like I was corresponding with my aunt and uncle. A heartwarming welcome basket awaited us upon arrival and instructions for everything was at our fingertips along with recommendations for dining and activities. The location was perfect. We are in our late forties and early fifties and loved that the location was at the end of the resorts yet a short drive to get to a busier area for drinks, lunch, dinner. Its also a convenient location to the airport - 15minutes! The condo was quiet and had everything we could possibly need - including a gravy boat! It was important to us, for our stay that we be on the ocean and we were! Having a ground floor condo made it feel like the ocean and beach were in our backyard and we could hear the waves in the bedroom which lulled you to sleep. I have only been home for a day and already trying to figure out when we can back. This location was perfect for what we needed as were Jim and Carol! Live Aloha!

View is amazing. So glad the beach is all back. So much was taken away in the storms last winter. You'd never know unless you saw pictures.

Vacasa allowed early check in which was very much appreciated. Very comfy bed. Pool floaties abd beach chairs/towels also included. Amazing view, especially during sunrise. Great pool, hot tub and beach access. Highly recommended.

Just stayed overnight, but we were welcomed with cold bottled water and snacks waiting for us. We watched the sunset from the lanai and ate dinner at a close by sandwich place. Very nice stay😊

My husband kept exclaiming how the clean sandy beach was one of the nicest he’s ever visited. We enjoyed walking north as far as we waned, then stopping for a swim before heading back to the condo complex for a rinse off before swimming in the pool. Early mornings we watched the outrigger clubs rowing; in the evening we watched the stars and planets. The sounds of the surf was calming (unless it caught me off guard and startled me!). I enjoyed the vintage B&W photographs of past surfers and related Hawaiian decor. The AC worked flawlessly! It’s a comfortable unit and the upgraded cooling system installed in the buildings is a delightful upgrade. There’s no street noise and this condo unit is well equipped for daily use. It contained everything we needed, and we enjoyed the time we spent, and if we return to Maui we would stay like to stay here again.

Great place to stay. Amazing vies and beach. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is slow communication and the welcome/information booklet was found on the bottom shelf of the coffee table. Had it been on the table or counter, this would be 5 stars. But yes, I would recommend this condo and stay there again.

The view is so beautiful. We enjoyed setting out on the balcony. The ocean felt like it was it reach. So relaxing and beautiful.

We had a great time staying here. The setting was ideal with the beach right outside your door. We were given a package of snacks, treats, and wine, which made us feel right at home. The location is great, just a short drive north of downtown Kihei. The pool and jacuzzi were also great.

Sugar Beach resort is a well maintained, quiet property. I love that you can sit in lounge chairs right at the edge of the ocean. The property is within walking distance to several businesses like a bakery and a shave ice place. I loved walking on the beach every morning. You will see incredible sunsets right from your lanai! The owners of unit 504 have an immaculately clean, beautifully decorated and comfortable unit. They went above and beyond to provide everything that you could possibly need for your stay. The only “negative” I can think of is that the ice maker wasn’t working but they provided ice cube trays. This wasn’t a big deal for me and you can always buy a bag of ice. I have family that live on Maui so I visit often and I would most definitely return to this unit.

The view was spectacular. The building is old and showing its age. Bathroom could be a little more private

We loved our stay at Sugar Beach Resort 225! The view was incredible and just what we were hoping for, and we loved that we could just pop in the ocean for a swim whenever we wanted. The furnishings are great, the kitchen is beautiful and the condo had everything we needed (and more!). We made use of the beach chairs, snorkel gear and boogie boards! We slept great - the main bed was comfy and the sofa bed was not bad for a sofa sleeper. The AC worked great and kept the condo comfortable on the hot days. We had a maintenance issue while we there and they were SUPER fast to respond and get everything fixed. We so appreciated the amazing customer service! The condo was spotless and we felt instantly at home. Thanks for amazing stay! We definitely hope to stay here again!

The complex is right on the beach. This is a penthouse unit with a view to die for. The beach is an elevator away. Literally a few steps to the sand and a few more to the water. The condo was so comfortable. The kitchen has everything you need if you want to cook. The ice maker worked great so we had plenty for the day. The shower had great water pressure and lots of hot water. Everything you need for the beach or pool was provided, except you suit and sunscreen. There were chairs in the unit, but the condo had many lounge chairs setup in the grass. I highly recommend this unit!
