Location, Location, Location!!! Just 15-steps to the warm white sands of Sugar Beach is our number one selling point!

Our Condo is well equipped and gets frequent updates. The owners typically come and use the Condo two or more times per year, so we get to manage the updates and improvements by personally seeing and using the condo. We like the condo to be well maintained, clean, operational, and very comfortable.
Staying in a ground floor unit allows you to simply slide your lanai door open and extend your living space out on to the grass. This is so convenient, especially when traveling with kids who love to get out doors and play without being confined to a balcony. Located just steps away from the 'heart' of the Sugar Beach Resort, you will find the swimming pool, jacuzzi, sauna, putting green and 6 BBQ grills right at your disposal!
It is easy to see why the Sugar Beach Resort is a top rated property to spend your Hawaiian Vacation.
The Sugar Beach Resort is situated right in the center of the Island on the outskirts of Kihei. Located on the longest stretch of sandy beach on the Island of Maui (approx. 5 miles long) and just a quick 10 mile drive south of the Maui Airport will have you at the ocean's doorstep in no time flat. Being centrally located allows quick and easy access to other parts of the Island. Just a 5 minute drive to Maalaea Harbor. About 25 minutes west to Lahaina and 30 minutes west to Kaanapali. Head east, the other direction and in just 5 minutes you will be in the heart of Kihei and 15 minutes will have you in the resort area of Wailea.
Although our family enjoys the evening sunsets and dinners cooked at the BBQ grill there are many great restaurants on the Island to choose from along with many great activities to fill your vacation with wonderful Hawaiian memories. To name a few; golfing, snorkeling, canoeing, kayaking ,fishing, whale watching, hiking and bike riding.
A couple of recommendations:
Consider buying the book “Maui Revealed” by Andrew Doughty. Probably available in your local Barnes and Noble. The book gives an insider view of suggested things to see and do while on the island.
Our favorite Restaurants -
1. Mama’s Fish House (Great Seafood and nice atmosphere for Adults - Expensive, but wonderful).
2. Kihei Caffe - For Breakfast if you are Hungry! (cash only) - Great Food excellent portions.
3. Hula Grill - Beachside/Sand Cafe: This is the casual part of restaurant. Menu is not extensive, but you sit outside put feet in the sand and enjoy some Hawaiian Music.4. ASansei - Kihei: Sushi is their speciality.
Surfing -
1. Recommend Maui Wave Riders. You can rent boards in Kihei, and return them to a different location such as Lahaina. They give lessons if needed.
2. Paddle Boarding is lot’s of fun too. You can rent these right at Sugar Beach Resort with Maui Sights and Treasures.
Snorkeling: The first 2 listed have bathrooms, clear water, and a beautiful beach. Best to go in the morning before trade winds pick up.
1. Our favorite place is in Makena. “Maluaka Beach”
2. Kahekili - Airport Beach in Kaanapali
3. Ahihi Cove: Makena (no bathrooms and rocky beach, but nice cove to snorkel in)
Hikes -
1. Waihe’e Ridge Trail - We have enjoyed this trail.
2. Waihe Valley Trail - (my wife and her girlfriend’s really enjoyed this one).

Our family with a teen and 8 yr old stayed here as our jumping off point to explore Maui. It was a perfect central location and the accommodations were just what we needed. Highly recommend!

This place was perfect for our Maui adventures. With its location just outside of Kihe, we felt like we could get around the island without too much driving. The condo’s exterior is beautiful and well maintained. Gary was available anytime we needed him or we were able to contact Maui Condo and Home Agency. The condo is perfect for two people and had anything and everything you needed. Big bonus was the patio that gave us access to the beach within seconds!

This condo was perfect! We had our 2 year old and 5 year old with us and the pull out couch worked great for them. Being on the ground floor was so convenient for accessing the beach and pool. Sugar Beach is a great walking beach but we also swam right in front of the condo quite a bit. The view from the condo was amazing, so close to the beach, and so relaxing. We had a great stay and would definitely stay here again!

My wife and I stayed here for our 25 year anniversary as we enjoyed Maui for 2 weeks. We really enjoyed the condo and everything was as listed in VRBO. Having the washer and dryer sure makes it nice as we were able to pack light for 2 weeks. The beach is very nice. Went for walks every day. We took advantage of the little bakery not too far down the beach and got our share of banana bread and scones!!
Gary was great to book with and everything went perfectly smooth. I would recommend this condo to any couple planning their trip to Maui! You’ll love it and the location puts you right in the middle of Maui so it’s very easy to get where you want to go.
5.0
Great place, it had everything we needed from cooking to boogie boards and chairs. Awesome views for sunrise, sunset and any time of day. The location was clean, safe and fun for all ages.
The beach photos are accurate - small beach that is kind of sandy. It was not super busy. The only downfall was the runoff from storms, the water was murky in Dec. and had a lot of small bark / chunks of soil and dirt, so it was hard to enjoy the beach right outside the condo for most of the days. Many great beaches were within a short drive, so we did that.
Overall great trip and great location!

Amazing Hosts and Condo!
Gary was super helpful and informative right from the beginning! My mother in law and I as well as my 4 month old son booked a trip last minute while my husband was overseas. They accomadated us so kindly! When we arrived, the condo was very clean and you are immediately welcomed by the sound of the amazing waves just right outside the screen door. I loved all the aloha decor and special touches which made it feel so much like home! Everything was well stocked. We enjoyed sunsets on the lanai, beach walks, and meeting the other sweet guests staying at the sugar resort. My son took the best naps here listening to the waves! He loved this condo as much as we did!
Thanks again Gary and Kara! This trip was much needed for us! This condo is the best for exploring the island great location with the best sushi options close by :)

A Wonderful Experience
We loved staying at the condo. The location was perfect and we enjoyed being able to walk right out the lanai doors to the beach/ocean right in front of us for swimming, snorkeling, or just a quiet walk together.
The condo was well stocked with everything we'd need for our much-needed holiday. Gary is a wonderful host and I can't say enough good things about how it was working with him to arrange our stay. We'll definitely be back :)

Had everything we needed including view of the ocean and the sound of the crashing wave. Being on the 1st floor, 20steps to the beach and 40steps to the pool is AWESOME! The owner and mgmt team is excellent to. We will definitely come back to this place when we come back to Maui.

My wife and I travel quite a bit and have had both wonderful and terrible experiences, but I feel confident saying that our stay at Sugar Beach was one of the best! The condo was amazing and just steps away from the beach. It was fully stocked with everything we could possibly imagine needing and then some. At one point we went to the store to pick up some packaging tape, only to come back and open a drawer to find there was already some waiting for us! We enjoyed beautiful sunrises and sunsets on the lanai every day, and were so happy that we decided to stay in this section of Kihei and avoid some of the more crowded resort areas. It often felt like we had our own private beach to ourselves (with the exception of the friendly sea turtle who would hang out right off the shore). We definitely recommend this place!

Condo was as promised with great views, beach front and close proximity to pool. We enjoyed and appreciated the access to beach chairs, beach umbrella, wave boards and small coolers!

Morning and evening walks on long stretches of Sugar Beach. Watching paddle boarders and outriggers, listening to waves from the lanai. About 75 steps to a family-friendly Sugar Beach. The unit was super clean with great amenities -- very much appreciated the extra touches with accessories for the beach! This part of Kihei is north of most Kihei amenities, but it made for a more peaceful experience overall for our family. Mahalo!

Family Trip
The view is amazing- and the location is spectacular if you are wanting to get out and explore. Seriously- 30 steps to the beach! It's on the edge of Kihei so you can get to the busy areas if you want, but the condo is away from the hustle. And if you are wanting to drive to Hana, Haleakala or Lahaina, the highway is right there and it takes no time to get out of town. We went in early March and we saw hundreds of whales jumping and playing the water just from the patio. And, the owners provide tons of extras- like a cooler, beach chairs, and a beach umbrella- and the condo is well furnished for cooking. Overall this was a fantastic place to stay. We'd stay here again for certain!

Our Kihei stay
The view of the ocean was wonderful. We saw whales each day. The atmosphere was warm and friendly. The condo was clean and tastefully decorated. The property was well supplied (kitchen, outdoor chairs, towels, etc.). It can get a bit windy, but it wasn't a problem for us. If you are looking for a traditional resort environment this may not be the place for you. We would definitely recommend this property. We had an amazing time.

Beachfront Bliss
This condo was perfect for us. Just the 2 of us for a week and we loved it. The condo is small but just the right size for us. It is modern, all the amenities we needed, and the Maui decor made us feel right at home. The location on Sugar Beach was perfect for calm morning ocean swimming, within 20 minutes of any type of beach or restaurant you desire, and a quiet peaceful property. Mostly adults so it suited us well.

Excellent location, place, and stay
We were so so so lucky to snag this room in Kihei! The location is excellent! It was really close to everything; shops, restaurants, beach, the main drag a couple of streetlights away. It is just in the perfect location! The locals live there for a reason!
The view was excellent for sunrises and sunsets, you're on the first floor and it is just 12 steps away from the ocean from the back door! Who could ask for anything more? Even the Ritz doesn't have that beat! The sunrises were so beautiful, we got up every morning on vacation to see them, that is how nice they were.
And the ocean! OMG! The Ocean! We searched all over the island for a good swimmable beach but we couldn't find a better beach then Sugar Beach! It is quiet, warm and swimmable and perfect for snorkeling. And the view from the ocean is excellent! There are mountains looming in the distance and it is so romantic!
The cleanliness of the room was superb! It looked, smelled and felt really nice. And it had all the amenities you'd ever need! It has beach chairs, beach towels, body board, iron, washing/dryer machine, 2 televisions, cooking utensils. Sugar? Coffee? Water? Eggs? YES!!! You need it, it's already been thought of and ready for you! Over there at the Westin beach chairs cost $25 per day!!!! So the amenities were really nice to have.
The bathroom had a really cool glass wall, you could hear stuff through there, but overall it was no problem. Just have your partner step outside on the patio for a few minutes and everything would be fine.
The parking lot is just outside and you don't have to walk far to your room from it which was really nice. And there are flowers everywhere outside! It was just perfect.
Watch the Youtube video, it really helps. We were so lucky that this place was available for our stay in Maui. This was just an excellent place and I would highly recommended it. I'm coming back as soon as I can.

Incredible experience, amazing location, beautiful condo!
My family had a wonderful stay at the Moore's condo on Sugar Beach! It was the perfect set up for a family with a baby! The sliding glass doors on the first level opened up to a patch of gorgeous grass and then the crashing waves of the aquamarine Pacific ocean. Magic! The condo was stocked with all of the right kitchen tools and equipment. Great layout. Comfortable pull out sofa for a good night's sleep. Communications with the host and the management company was seamless. We had everything that we needed at our fingertips. Would HIGHLY recommend to any young families who are travelling with a baby. While the baby naps, you can catch the rays and have a quick dip in the ocean!
