Relax and enjoy your Maui vacation in our 6th floor Penthouse suite at Sugar Beach Resort. With a location on the southern end of the building, the condo is quiet and private.

The ocean views are stunning, to the south you look down the coastline toward the Kihei and Wailea resort areas, directly in front is the deserted isle of Kaaholawe, and off to the north are the Pali cliffs and the Maalaea Harbor. Of course, the sunsets every night are a magical time.

The spacious double lanai brings the ocean into the living and dining areas of the condo! Open the lanai doors and enjoy the fresh ocean breezes or close the doors and relax in the central air conditioning.

With no one above you and no one to the left, the condo is marvelously quiet and peaceful. You can prepare your meals in the condo or get take out from the little 'Sandwitch' restaurant found on site downstairs, or visit one of the many restaurants found just minutes away in the Kihei/Wailea areas.

There are two master suites, both offering comfortable King size beds. Both have their own private bathrooms. In addition, the couch in the living room pulls out into a queen size bed.

There is a washer/dryer within the condo, and the kitchen is well stocked for meal preparation.

The resort has a secured heated pool area and hot tub, you will receive the code when you check in at the on-site registration desk. Within the complex there is an activities desk to help you make plans to explore the island.

If you are hungry or thirsty, there is a small, but delicious, 'Sandwitch' restaurant/bar just next to the activities center, Maui Sights and Treasures.

There is ample parking in the large open lot and there are two elevators that provide access to all floors. There are even shopping carts near the elevators to help you get your belongings or groceries up to the condo.

Sugar Beach Resort is centrally located in Maui, just about 20 minutes from the airport, only 10 minutes to Kihei and Wailea, and about 40 minutes over to Lahaina town.

The beach in front of the condo stretches for miles in both directions, an early morning walk to check out the tide pools in the Maalaea direction is always a winner for those visitors waking up early with the time difference.

Our Penthouse condo is a lovely relaxing environment to call home while you are visiting the island of Maui.

Our initial reaction to the unit was surprised it is dated. Carpet needs to go and a fresh paint and the place would be top notch. Communication and ease checking in and out was great! Would stay again. Thanks!!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Penthouse 40! The view from the balcony was so amazing. The location can’t be beat!! Away from the noise and commotion of Kihei but an easy drive into Kihei. Couches and carpets were a bit worn. But comfortable beds. The management team was excellent. We were missing a few cooking utensils and called. They were delivered within an hour! AC worked great in both halves of the condo! Sugar Beach Resort - super clean. Great pool and hot tub. Barbecues were clean and well cared for. Can’t wait to return!

My rating is for the overall experience. I just spent two weeks in PH 40 and the condo is very nice with a wonderful view and plenty of room. The only negatives are that the carpet needs to be replaced with tile, and the sliding door to the lanai is extremely hard to open and close. Not sure why they call this property a resort. There is no bar or restaurant at the pool, no towel service, and no daily activities planned. Those are standard at most resorts. My main concern with staying here was that the beach/sand itself was great, but the water was extremely murky and brown. The extreme wind, the entire two weeks, was also a real problem in doing anything on the property or beach, after about noontime. We found ourselves going to the Lahaina side of the island everyday where the beaches are extremely clear and blue and not nearly as windy. Nice place to stay, but I will stay on the other side of the island next time I am in Maui.

We loved staying here!!!!! The lani is amazing, huge! Great for early morning breakfasts and watching the waves come in! The location is perfect! Very central to everything on the island! We will defiantly be back for another stay, hopefully very soon!!!!! 🌺

We enjoyed our stay so much. The condo is very spacious for even a family of 5. My daughter was on the pull out and loved it. She found a comfy foam topper in the closet. The window coverings made it dark enough for her to sleep. Floor Fans were provided as well as towels, coolers, chairs, and some snorkel gear. Kitchen had everything we need. I appreciated the carpet after a day of sand. Comfy beds and king size pillows. Great outdoor furniture for lounging and eating. Air conditioning was spot on. Loved not having anyone to the side or above us. Perfect location for beach walking and combing in the tide pools to the right of building. Water clarity is not the best, but that is an excuse to explore other beaches. It is WINDY in the afternoons. I felt like I was staying at a family member’s condo…it was that cozy! Property was well maintained and clean. Manager called when gates were installed just to make sure we got the codes. Loved our trip due to this wonderful place. Thank you!

Relaxing not over crowded. The lani is large with a great view. Pool is small. The rugs need replacing. The floor plan is spacious and the bedrooms are quite. There’s two AC units which was great for sleeping.

This place is perfect for a relaxing vacation for the whole family. It comes with everything you could need and the views are breath taking. If you have ever thought about Hawaii, come and stay here. It'll make you want to come back year after year.

We had a great time here, location and views are incredible. This unit has all the amenities you could possibly need to enjoy your stay. The on-site amenities are also great for booking events/renting gear. Jean was incredible to communicate with and accommodating to all our needs. Definitely worth coming back to.

This was a family trip and our 4th time booking at sugar beach resort. We booked 3 separate rooms to accommodate us all. Our room was perfect for us, it was spacious, comfortable, had all the necessities and amazing views, it met all our needs. We love the location, grounds, amenities and have had all positive experiences with the hosts and the resort. We hope to return again soon.

The owner, Jean has excellent communication, and is very helpful. It’s always a joy and special treat to stay at this condo, with its fabulous location, view, and balcony, Sugar Beach Resort, and Sugar Beach!

This was my children’s first time seeing the ocean and the view from PH 40 was absolutely spectacular! The place was clean and comfortable, close to grocery stores, which was amazing. The pool, access to BBQs for grilling, the beach right outside the building made it easy to keep everyone happy. It was an incredible vacation and I would absolutely go back! The property manager, Jean was so great to deal with too.

This Property has beautiful views. Everything was clean and we had all the cooking items needed to prepare our meals. Also had all items needed for the beach, well stocked. We had a very comfortable stay, and will stay again at Sugar Beach. The only negitive thing is, this property could use an update. Still has carpet on the floors, could use new paint and the bathroom vents need attention.

Fantastic balcony and view, great location on the beach, nice layout for a family. As others highlighted, it could do with a couple of updates (e.g. old carpets throughout).

I’m a travel nurse and brought my family over after my contract ended. They absolutely loved it here and didn’t want to leave! The view is perfect from the huge lanai! It is the last condo on the top floor, so a little far to walk to the end, but very private which we liked. You can use a grocery shopping cart under the stairs to bring up your groceries and belongings, which helps tremendously! The condo was nice and clean and had everything we needed. Check the condo before you go shopping, because we bought stuff we didn’t need, like trash bags which we left for the next vacationers. They let us know before we arrived the air conditioning was being worked on. It was hot for a couple of hours, but it worked great the rest of the stay. Also, one of the beach chair arms broke when my 21 year old son went to sit in it on the beach. It looks like it was an older chair. Called the number left to report it, but couldn’t get through to talk to someone directly. We had an option to leave a message, but kept trying to call back, then eventually gave up and then forgot. I suppose we should have left a message. I would definitely stay here again!

Jean and team were wonderful to book through! It was super easy to check in and out and the condo was lovely. You can’t beat this view! The condo is a little dated- carpet throughout- but it was large, air conditioned and clean which is what mattered more to my group and I.

The condo was more than enough space, but just what we needed. The location on the island was PERFECT! Everything we needed to have the most wonderful vacation was included. Could not have asked for anything else. Cant wait to return!

The development is centrally located to all major attractions, grocery, food trucks and gas stations. Most importantly is it being beach front. What a view! The facility is very clean, parking is great, and they do a great job of recycling. Not to forget a great pool and hot tub. Plenty of chairs and well maintained.

Our stay was wonderful. It was located in the perfect area and was able to watch the whales from our lanai every day. The check in was flawless too. We hope to come back and stay in Penthouse 40 again sometime. Thank you for the perfect vacation.

We have stayed at this location, not in this unit, many times. We love Sugar Beach. This unit had plenty of space for 5 of us. The separation of bedrooms allowed good privacy. The furnishings were a little tired but the unit had absolutely everything including the BEST view.

Ocean front is the best! While this condo was very clean it is dated in many ways and could use an upgrade.


Barbara A.

We had continuous communication before our visit. During our stay there was a horrific storm that sent huge amounts of water into the unit from the lanai and the power went out for seven hours . The agent immediately notified all who needed to know about the situation and they sent real help. The unit was well equipped with the things we needed to enjoy ourselves.

We had a good experience staying here. I only have one thing to say and that is that it was dated for the money you pay to stay there but everything else was awesome! The only reason I gave this listing a 4 on cleanliness is because the outside needs to be clean; example the front door. Other than that it was a great experience.

When we got to the condo our door code would not work. We had to have maintenance come, which took a half hour. He also could not get the code to work and had to give us another new code. The condo met our needs. But the carpet was needing attention and the chairs in the living room were peeling. We spent most of our time on the lanai. Which the view from the lanai was gorgeous.

The property was great. The view was outstanding. Although the property was clean there was mold on the air conditioning return vent causing some allergy issues. Other than that we had a great stay.

Nicely stocked, what a treat! We didn't know the doors had to be shut for the AC :..) but we had trade winds blowing all night so it was comfortable. Had issues getting in, but ALL my fault as I didn't get the link. The manager gave us a new code and no problems!! Good location to get a lot of places, no snorkeling off shore here. Somethings dated/worn, but very comfortable, would definitely stay here again


Mark M.

Excellent views, plenty of extras. The only things that could have been better was the dryer was broken and when we called the property manager, it was already known- they were waiting for a part, but I wish that was communicated to us ahead of time. Also the microwave was broken, that was not known, so it did create some inconveniences, but I definitely would stay there again.

We booked the PH40 at the Sugar Beach Resort for 8 days in June to visit my brother. We were a party of 6 (four adults, one toddler and one infant). The home is very spacious for all of us and the kitchen is well stock with all the little things you made need. The home is obviously not childproof and nor did I expected it to be. We did use the pack-play for the infant and used extra blanket to make it softer and it worked great for our little one. The view from the Lania (Balcony) is amazing. It is one of a few units with double balcony and plenty of space for everyone to sit outside or inside. They have ample parking spaces. We never had issues finding parking no matter what time we return. I don't believe in perfection and one shouldn't expect it so here are some of the negatives that the reader should take with a grain of salt. The beach is Kihei is very windy. You practically can't enjoy the outside after 12pm but the water is very calm in the morning and it is great for the kids. The unit show it age but it is clean and very functional. If it was my personal home, I would modernized it but it is VRBO. The AC isn't perfect and had trouble keeping it cool. We learned that the AC is part of the building and they had one air handler down and was waiting on parts. The parts was arriving after our departure. When the AC did work, it worked well. This isn't the first time we had dealt with AC in Hawaii. The great thing about the unit is that it has everything you need for your beach day with your kids (minus the toys). Beach chairs, body board, two coolers for drinks, beach towels, etc. Overall, we had a great time and made the best of our time on the beach in the AM and the pool in the afternoon. Our children loved it and didn't want to leave. We would love to rent the unit again when we are back in Hawaii. Mahalo!
