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.

Right on the water, wake up to the sunrise on the ocean and sit on the balcony as the sunsets!!

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.

The location is great and the suite was perfect for us. Beach is just steps away and the pool right out front. Parking is right out back with no extra charge. Reception at Resort is very helpful.

The balcony view is mesmerizing and will make every night breathtaking. The location is perfect as it is centrally located. Being close to Sugar Beach Bakery and Ululani's allows for beach walks for breakfast or dessert. Everything was perfect.

Great sunset views, easy access to the beach. There’s a bar on site (though you can’t bring drinks outside the bar itself). Easy drive to the bars and restaurants in Kihei.

Will stay again and recommend to friends and family. It was a wonderful experience.

Beach view from balcony was awesome. Hearing the waves in the condo was so relaxing. Dina's sandwiches shop food was great and not having to clean up to go out. Couple suggestions, 1. Replace the sofa 2. Fix the ice maker. 3. Replace the toster.Everything overall was excellent. We will stay here again next time.

I would definitely recommend this property & unit to others. The beach front view is spectacular and is exactly like the photo online. The sun sets are incredible from the balcony and the beach is beautiful... While visually the building / unit is "dated" in some ways... it has brand new washer/dryer (always a bonus) the kitchen is fully loaded with literally just about anything you need to cook your own meals. We didn't use the pool or hot tub but they looked decent and they have beach front views as well ! The host's management company communicates well and provides excellent information about check-in, etc. They even had a thoughtful welcome package in the unit for us which was a very nice touch. Great location - close to centre of island so it's easy to get to both Kaanapali , Wailea if you have a car. I would definitely stay at this unit again if the opportunity arose.

Great location, a few steps from beach, and Only 15 - 20 minutes from air port makes this a great customer experience

December 2024

The location of the condo was perfect, not quite in Kehei, but close enough to walk into town via the beach. The neighborhood was quiet and private. The views from the Lanai were amazing. The condo was the perfect size for two people and we enjoyed the amenities that came with it. We did find the bathroom/bedroom set up to be a little odd as you had to go through the bath to get to the bedroom, but we made it work.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We very much enjoyed our stay. The unit was very nice and the view was unbeatable. The unit could use an update on the flooring but it worked. We did contact the rental agency for 1 issue and the responded quickly and offered to take care of it the next day. If you want beach front with a view this checks all the boxes. 1 thing missing was a box of tissue's, we never stayed anywhere that these were not provided. So for those that stayed after us your welcome.

We stayed for 12 nights. Our second time at Sugar Beach resort. 1st time in this room. Love the location right on the beach. Room has everything needed. Included All kitchen household items and spices, Beach chairs, umbrellas. Dish soap and laundry supplies. We chose vthis place for the proximity of the beach. We walked a total of 70 miles on the beach. Building is Located where you can easily go north to Kaanapali and south to Kihei/Wailea area. We have stayed in Maui hotels before but much more enjoy the vrbo. Especially for comfort and cost savings. We do plan on coming back, hopefully to this room!

Gorgeous location. Pool was crowded and noisy so we skipped that. The outlets in the kitchen were blown so the microwave wasn’t operational. I’m sure they would have fixed it but we didn’t want to spend our time messing with it. I didn’t like that the bathroom was in the bedroom - but that’s more of a personal preference. The floors were very dirty - they were swept but this place hasn’t seen a mop in awhile. All that said, the views are worth the other issues.

Everything was fantastic. The location is amazing and right on the beach. The view from the balcony is stunning and we saw one of the most beautiful sunsets of our lives about 45 minutes after I witnessed a whale breach in the distance. The location is very convenient to the airport which is a plus. Kevin is a personable and responsive host. I highly recommend this property for anyone considering the Kihei area.

This unit is centrally located no matter where you would like to go on Maui. It has also been beautifully remodeled with up graded appliances and decor. And it is equipped with every conceivable item you might need during your stay. It is the perfect “couples” unit in the perfect location.

Had an awesome time. Didn't spend much time at the condo or the beach out back but the location was great. This was an ideal location for getting around the island. Could hear the waves at night from the bedroom and great view of Haleakala from the family room window. Host is great and we were able to add an additional day when the airline offered a small credit to rebook.
John G.
November 2024

This is a beautiful property. I liked the location as its close to restaurants and shops in Kihei but not in the busy area. The unit was updated and had everything you could need in the Kitchen to use, which is not common in a lot of rentals. I had an issue that was no fault of host,she responded quickly regarding the issue and did what she could on her end. If your looking for a rental i definitely would recommend this unit.
