About this apartment rental
-Sugar Beach Resort #407 has been taken down to the studs (if there were such a thing in a concrete complex but you get my drift).
This is the true "Sand in toes" experience--no walking across the street to get to the ocean. Sugar Beach Resort is an OCEANFRONT complex. SBR #407 is a fantastic OceanVIEW condo that has been tricked out to the gills.
Brand new king sized bed. Brand new 55 inch TV. This place is going to Rock.
Sleeps FOUR....King sized bed and new (August 2023 Queen Sleeper sofa.
FANTASTIC ocean views all the way down the south Maui coast to Makena. Fourth floor so tons of whale action ( in season--from Thanksgiving until mid April). Beautiful views of Molokini Crater. Southern Exposure--my favorite--morning sun coming up over Haleakala.
Free wifi/Free parking/Fee long distance to all of North America. Central AC. No resort Fees.
On site Restaurant-Maui's iconic "Dina's Sandwitch". On site Activities Desk. Fabulous Oceanfront pool and hot tub. Five minute walk to "Sugar Beach Bake Shop" for coffee and awesome baked goods (opens at 6AM).
Sugar Beach is Maui's longest stretch of sand-nearly five miles long-perfect for long beach walks. Expect to see waaaaaay more Hawaiian sand crabs than humans on your early morning walks (it is located next to a wildlife preserve so very few condo complexes nearby-we had a guest estimate they were outnumbered by 30 to 1-lots of fun for kids).
The water is varies from calm to boogie-boarding-worthy (we supply the boogie boards). Sugar beach Resort is fairly isolated from the rest of Kihei so a car is needed...but! That is what makes it so fantastic. It is centrally located so it is the perfect base to explore Maui from...eat dinner in Lahaina (about 30 minutes to the west) one night and eat dinner in Wailea then next night (about 20 minutes to the south).

Sugar Beach Resort is conveniently located in the center of Maui. It's out of the hubbub of Kihei town and next door to a wildlife preserve (Kealia Pond). 407 is the epitome of what a remodel should be....all new appliances, everything in the unit was replaced down to the wood trim (remember, all coastal buildings in south Maui were built in the late 1970's....Maui oceanfront complexes are OLD). We got rid of all of that old stuff. There is a new (August 2023) Queen sized sleeper sofa and blackout window treatments to keep the extra company comfortable. The bathroom can be accessed or closed off via the hallway or bedroom for privacy. There is an on site activities desk and restaurant/bar. Great walking beach. You can rent SUP boards (Stand Up Paddle) on site. Oceanfront pool and Hot tub and even a dry sauna. It's pretty amazing.

Like the property and the condo
4.9
We were excited to stay at what looked like a cute condo (though we knew we weren't thrilled with the location as Sugar Beach itself smells like rotting fish all the time- gag).
While the property was advertised as renovated and well maintained, it did not meet expectations. At first glance, this property looked fine. However, there were many things we noticed in the unit that were really off-putting (fridge not clean, fingerprints on all the cabinet doors, microwave was dirty, hair in the bathroom and throughout the shower, dirty dishes coming out of the cabinets with caked on food, etc.). It was far from the 4.9 stars it was rated at upon booking.
When I reached out to the host to alert her to some of the items we found, she immediately accused me of lying and saying I was out to get her cleaner fired and that she did a walk-through before we arrived and claimed things were "immaculate" before requesting we leave the property and find another unit. Long story short - While Deborah accused me of horrible things and fabricating the situation, she automatically refunded me my money in full. This bazar treatment on her part was the best thing that could have happened to us- because we went and found a better unit that was updated and immaculately clean- on the same property (opposite building) with an amazing host for a cheaper price!! Upon checking in at the new condo, we realized this was a blessing and were so happy we didn't have to spend our remaining time in this unit

Loved this spot. Host and on site staff are great to work with. Felt safe on my own. Met lots of people staying there that come back year after year. Would definitely stay again.

Everything was a 10-30 minute drive. Easy check in. Thoughtful amenities

My husband and I loved staying in Deborah's unit. The location was wonderful, and the grounds were so clean and well kept. The unit was perfect for us and exceeded our expectations. It was very clean, fresh linens and towels, the kitchen was stocked, and the lanai was our favorite. We spent a lot of time by the pool and the ocean. Plenty of areas to soak up the sun, and enjoy a day of relaxation. The unit had a washer and dryer which was so helpful, along with pool towels, beach chairs and even some coolers. Overall our unit was perfect, and we are so happy we chose it. Definitely recommend! The restaurant on site was also a nice bonus, we enjoyed a nice lunch there. The staff are so friendly. Checking in and out was a breeze. We can't wait to come back again.

This is a great little condo! It’s clean and tastefully decorated! North Kihei is always a great launching point for many adventures, so the location is prime. I greatly enjoyed the ocean and pool view from the lani! Bonus!
4.9
Amazing vacation in an amazing place. Deborah’s unit is so comfy and inviting. And it is stocked with everything you need while in the unit or heading to the beach. My daughter and I enjoyed sitting outside and listening to the ocean. It was so peaceful. And Deborah was always quick to respond to any questions I had. Highly recommend this unit! Thank you Deborah!

Recently remodeled condo, beautiful kitchen appliances and I loved the Braun coffee maker!
Beautiful ocean/poolside view. Very quiet location, respectful guests many of the senior variety and a few families.
Easy walk to my favorite shave ice location, sm market and abc store. Parking easy, away from hub of Kihei town which is nice.
Not much beach currently due to I assume weather, but perfect for walking along sugar beach for a very long time. Pool was clean and hot tub great.
Love the location and the condo. Definitely chose to stay here again.

This is a perfect unit for a single or a couple. It is well appointed with EVERYTHING needed for a comfortable stay. A very comfortable bed, ample closet space, everything you can think of that you might need in the kitchen including pitchers, containers for leftovers, blender, all dishes you could imagine.They thought of everything! TV has plenty of options for watching when you need a break. The views are spectacular! Balcony is perfect for eating or relaxing. You can hear the ocean day and night, see if the pool is busy or empty from your unit, close enough but far enough from the elevator. Building is well kept. We saw people constantly cleaning and upkeeping. Communication with Deborah was top notch! She was so great to work with, answered emails and texts right away, so helpful and even offered some great night time suggestions. Pool was GREAT, Hot Tub was perfect, great covered area with tables for eating outside or some shade. Beach was wonderful - sand area is small but we were there right after a HUGE storm in mid December so that had something to do with that. But it was beautiful and very swimmable. The area of Kihei it is is wonderful. A little quieter than the "main" area which we loved. About a 10 min drive (if that) from the "triangle" but 3 minutes from a Farmers Market, and Sugar Hill bakery (you'll thank me later) Do not hesitate to rent this wonderful unit. Everything is better than the pics even describe!

My spouse and I stayed at Deborah's condo for a week in December 2022. It is just like the pictures - new/updated, clean, pleasant place. Overall we very much enjoyed the property - eating breakfast on the balcony was a highlight, walking down each day for an ocean and pool swim was a nice way to start and end the day.
Having air conditioning, laundry and a fully setup kitchen made our day to day living there great. The unit is on the 4th floor which we walked up to/down from but there is an elevator nearby if you are carrying lots of grocery's or other things. Parking was free. I would recommend having a car as most shopping, restaurants and various sites will require a drive. There is a sandwich/coffee shop on site - we tried it out a few times and the sandwiches and potato salad were great.
Finally, Deborah was super helpful and available - from helping us the night we arrived when I failed tracking down the email and faq that had the room number and other details, recommending several great restaurants and finally suggesting we see a great local theatre performance "White Hawaiian".
Overall a perfect place for us to visit Maui after being away for a few years!
4.9
This condo was a great place to relax and have a low key Hawaii vacation. It is close enough to Wailea and Lahaina for day trips, but far enough away from the hustle and bustle to relax. And Deborah is fantastic - very responsive to questions and requests, and a great resource for recommendations on what to do on the island.
4.9
Nice, central location- easy access to everywhere we wanted to go on Maui. It was easy to book a bunch of activities with the resort concierge. The beach was right there and the sunsets were amazing! We really appreciated that Deborah cheerfully granted us a late check out since we had a late flight out and no one was checking in the next day! Was wonderful! Thanks Deborah for the lovely stay!
4.9
Property description in VRBO listing was very accurate. The condo was updated, very clean, well-supplied, new fridge, large TV, comfortable King Bed, etc. View from Balcony included view of mountains as well as the ocean plus the entire pool area so we could see how many folks were in the hot tub. Plenty of chairs around the pool an along the beach front. Excellent beach for walking miles and swimming. We highly recommend and will likely return. Overall, the property is well maintained. The owner was very responsible to our questions and that gave us confidence in the unit.
4.9
Very nice 1 bed 1 bath with full kitchen, patio, beautiful views. Central location. Nice big pool, hot tub for the cooler nights. Right on the ocean, great sandy beach. Definitely recommend and would go back in a heartbeat.
4.9
So thankful we picked SugarBeach Resorts! The location was close to all the places we wanted to visit. Highly recommend you rent a vehicle for the whole time you are in Maui or for at least part of the time.
Deborah’s unit was clean, had great views and came well equipped! Coffee, laundry soap, dish soap, spices were a nice added touch. The washer and dryer are such a bonus. Beach towels, beach chairs, boogie boards, small cooler bag were greatly appreciated and made our day trips so much easier. We had no issues with the unit and would highly recommend to anyone!
Check in was easy and staff were extremely helpful.
If you’re looking for somewhere that is quiet and relaxing this is for you! The beach was great and everything we needed was a 5 minute drive away.
Looking forward to coming back to Maui and staying at Deborah’s place again.
Thank you Deborah!!

Thanks so much to the owner for being such a pleasure to work with. This is a beautifully updated condo with everything you'd need!

Shout out to Deborah who was such an amazing host. She responded quickly, let us know about the pool situation ahead of time (it was closed for the majority our one week stay due to some maintenance which we didn’t mind because we wanted to do a lot in Maui), gave a lot of helpful information ahead of time, and she dropped off trash bags when we needed them (she kindly left it on the door handle while we were out & about). From beach chairs to Tupperware, we pretty much had everything we needed. The place definitely looked so much better inside (newer, modern & great decor) than outside.
We felt like the location is in the middle of every place we wanted to go. We had a rental car & we were close to the airport & main stores like Costco & some beaches especially sugar beach is right there. It was our first time in Hawaii & we were so happy with our trip thanks to Deborah & the place we stayed at.

From the beautiful furniture to the well stocked kitchen, the comfortable bed and the incredible view…this is truly an outstanding condo. The clear communication with the property manager was also very helpful. The quick morning walk to the Sugar Beach Bake shop was a hit too! Enjoy!

We stayed here for my husband’s 50th birthday and it was the perfect spot. We pretty much had the beach to ourselves. Sugar Beach was quiet but only a short drive to other more populated beaches and resort areas but we wanted quiet. We can’t wait to come back and we will definitely stay here again after looking at the other options I looked into before booking here. This condo was exactly as pictured and the bed was comfortable.

This is a great location to access all Maui has to offer. Clean unit with lots spices and cooking utensils! We grilled dinner 3 nights of our 5 night stay using the outdior grills. Dina's Sand Witch shop is a great spot for lunch or after dinner drinks. Unit is well stocked with supplies. Book this unit and you will not be disappointed.

Sugar Bay Resort was terrific, it perfect location for us. We wanted to be central to lots of locations in Maui and this fit the bill. This unit #407 has a beautiful view, was as exactly as pictured in the posting, very clean, and well maintained. Nice sheets and towels (something I'm fussy about) and handy to have hand and dish soap provided. The kitchen appointments could have been more robust- we only had two big pots, there were limited plates, most of them plastic, and very limited glassware no glass wine/beer or lowball glasses. We purchased some glass champagne flutes for a celebration and left them for the next guests. We did notify Deborah about the pot situation, she got back to us about a day later, seems a previous guest must have removed them, so she had some additional pots, and a thoughtful tea pot (I had mentioned I was a tea drinker) delivered a couple days later- so that was nice. The king bed was high quality. Our kids stayed over with us one night on the sleeper sofa and reported that it was average for a sleeper.
As mentioned in previous reviews there were boogie boards and beach chairs available in the bedroom closet to use. We did end up storing them in the hall in order to have room to hang up long items.
Sugar Beach Resort earned high marks, extremely well kept grounds, very nice clean pool area, although were were perplexed that the Hot-tub was full of people pretty much dawn to dusk - it was 83-85 degrees every day we were there! The beach is the longest stretch of sandy beach in Mani and
was a perfect backdrop for our Daughters proposal!
Thanks Deborah, we look forward to returning in 2024.

Nice clean beachside one bedroom condo. Well kept unit and convenient central location to tour Maui. Not the fanciest place but good value for the money
Good walking beach as well and nice spot for sunsets.
Only negatives are limited dining choices in the area (Kehei) compared to say the west side (Lahaina-Kaanapali etc)
P.s. the complex has a great Bar-sandwich place open afternoons. Neat spot with excellent food and the most dollar bills you’ll ever see in one place!
