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. Our units prime location allows you the flexibility to pull the lounge chair out on the grass or sink the beach chair and your toes into the warm sand. 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. Cheeseburger in Paradise - Lahaina (atmosphere is memorable, but expect a long wait). You can do some shopping while you wait.
5. Sansei - 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 -

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.

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!

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 :)

love Sugar Beach and so happy to come back after Covid. The unit was beautifully appointed and quality throughout. although the check in procedure was a bit confusing it all worked out. the state of Hawaii’s rules were followed but the way to find out the good to go checkmark was not easy for older people to get through.

The condo was easy to find and access. The owner was proactive about getting in touch with us. Beautiful spot, close to snorkeling beaches.

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 :)
