Very friendly & helpful host, amazing place with a wonderful view over sugar beach!

Great condo with all of the amenities including a washer and dryer which is a big plus.

This accommodation is wonderful. Very clean, plenty of amenities, very comfortable, nice air conditioning. Incredible ocean/coastal view. Most of all, we appreciated that the unit is located right on a desirable section of beach. It is also very well-located relative to all of the fun things to do when exploring the island; other coastal towns seem to be further away from many of the island’s main day trips/hikes/destinations.

I would give a 5 except for the uncomfortable seating in the unit. It needs to be updated. I also found two cockroaches and that creeped me out. It was the ones I could not see that bothered me.

We enjoyed our stay immensely! Had a long weekend before our family joined us and we moved further south. Condo is exactly as described, and the view is perfect. We saw plenty of whale action with our morning coffee, even at this early point in the season. Our only comment is that the provided cookware (skillet) was not appropriate for the glass-surface induction cooktop - it left a visible scratch when we used it. Thank goodness for the Vacasa insurance, but we felt absolutely awful! The property manager was so great, and the process of reporting and resolving the damage was very professionally and smoothly handled. We would love to stay here again!

Beautiful beach and sunset views from the patio. Condo had everything needed for a long or short stay. Great central location to visit other areas of the island.

Overall a nice stay. We had some issues upon check-in with the cleanliness of the condo. After contacting Vacasa who put us in touch with a local property manager we were able to get this resolved to our satisfaction. We loved the location and property as it’s right on the beach and had great amenities. We felt the condo was not well stocked with basic amenities we’ve had in the past. It seemed that whoever sticks and ensures the cleanliness of the condo fell short this time.

Beautiful ocean views and great central place to stay if you want easy access to explore the whole island. Condo was well kept and nice place to stay

There is a ton of road noise and a bunch of wind…the beach is decent, the actual condo is dated but perfectly adequate. The kitchen is well stocked while the dryer venting into the shower is gross from my perspective. Everything works and the lady that gives of a parking pass is pretty miserable. Hot tub was cold and grounds were well kept…you are close to a ton of stuff which is nice. I’d probably pick a different property off the main road next time just due to the noise in that I want to hear the ocean, not the cars 😊

Not enough flattering words exist to adequately describe the apartment and service Karen provided my wife and I during our two week stay in Maui. This was, hands down, one of the top vacations of our lives, and owe so much of it to Karen's incredibly well-appointed home-away-from-home. The bed is so comfortable. The shower has great water pressure. And, of course, the sunset view from the lanai is stunning. The location is also so convenient. As a host, you can tell immediately that Karen cares about your vacation. She's responsive, knowledgeable, and encouraging. She gives you everything you need to feel like you are settled and secure. If you are staying in Maui, THIS is where you want to stay. Seriously.

We spent 3 nights at Sugarbush on Maui. The location was great, central to so many other cool parts of the island. And the views were amazing. Staying at the beginning of the whale season was so much fun watching for their spouts out in the water. The management was great and made our stay very comfortable. Would stay again for sure!

We chose this property, because it had all the elements I was looking for: a beachfront condo with parking and a good central location. This property was perfect and I’m so happy we chose it. Firstly, you walk into the apartment and the sliding glass door opens up to a gorgeous beachside view of the ocean. This unit is on the second floor and I was wonderfully surprised to see how close we were to the beach- I’d say 100 feet or so away. We had breakfast on the lanai every morning, listening to the waves crash, and watched beautiful sunsets every evening. The condo was very clean and well appointed with all the conveniences you would hope for. Also, the condo comes with some beach supplies like beach chairs and boogie boards, which was a pleasant bonus. The check-in process was very easy as Karen provided us with excellent, clear instructions before our arrival. It is also evident that she puts a lot of care and thought into making the people who stay at her property feel at home (if your home was on a beautiful sandy beach in Maui!). The location of this property couldn’t have been better. It was centrally located to all the places we wanted to explore: 30 minutes to West Maui, 17 minutes to Paia for the start of the Road to Hana, and just over 1 hr to the summit of Haleakela. I would absolutely stay here again. The only downside to the whole experience here, and there is only one, is that we had to leave. It was a wonderful home base for an amazing Maui vacation.

Lovely well equipped condo with many upgrades. Beach view was amazing. Made for two people . Short walk to a great bakery for coffee and a muffin. Great sandy beach for morning walks. Sandwich shop on resort was handy for a quick meal. Free parking. Keyless entry. Beautiful sunset view. Warm on the deck in the late afternoon .

This place had EVERYTHING we could have possibly needed. We had a 9 year old and 12 year old share the pullout couch (super comfy) I might add, while we enjoyed the bedroom. The location of the condo is perfect, you’re literally 10 steps away from the pool and about 40 away from the ocean. I can say 10/10 we will be staying here again. Thank you for making our vacation so memorable!

Our second visit was much like the first, magical! The condo sits maybe 20 feet away from the water. I highly suggest staying here if you’re looking for beach front, it doesn’t get much better. We will stay here again the next time we come visit!

Condo was so peaceful with a great ocean view. Close to pool and beach access. Easy walk to fresh malasadas (Sugar Beach Bakery) in the morning. Main highway is close by for easy access to other shops, restaurants and activities.

Fantastic experience. We would recommend this rental. The view is exceptional. We had everything we needed. Thank you for sharing your home with us. We did have difficulty getting the access code for entry to rental on arrival. Contact was prompt. We did however later find that information went to our junk mail. Due to travel loading of the email was slow. Didn’t look as other emails pertaining to this booking went to inbox. Code came from different contact.

We so enjoyed listening to the ocean all day and all night. The sunsets from the lanai were gorgeous! The place was immaculately clean and so very well appointed with everything that we needed. Everything was in great running order and all the amenities that we needed had been thought about in advance. Nice quality towels and appointments. Theresa, the property manager, was so friendly and helpful. Al, the owner, had great communication and suggestions. If we return to Maui, this is our go-to place!

The view and location is great, but the unit needs a few minor things fixed. Bed is really hard. Toilet tank valve squawks/squeals for 30sec after every flush. The light over the stove is out. Three different TV remotes had dead batteries. The overhead kitchen lights are too bright...need a dimmer switch.

When we arrived, locating the unit was easy. We found the unit to be exactly as advertised and was clean and well stocked with the necessities. I had to reach out to the owners for a non problem question and they responded immediately. The grounds are well kept with plenty of colorful foliage. We felt the hot tub a bit small for the size of the complex. We would rent this unit again if we travel there again.

The 4 of us were very impressed with this unit❤️. It had all the appliances and kitchen supplies that we needed. The toilet shower rooms were not terrible but could use updating. The wall separating the 2 bedrooms provides needed privacy. Would definitely rent again Vickie…Corvallis OR

The good news is that the location of this condo is terrific. It’s on the 4th floor, right on the water so residents can see, hear, and smell the ocean all the time. The beach here is good for walking and building sand castles. The other good news about this rental is that Vacasa is responsive, especially the local on-site staff. The Sugar Beach Resort staff were also responsive. Now the bad news about this condo. When we got there, the dishwasher was failing and ultimately failed. The onsite Vacasa staff were responsive, but the dishwasher had not been repaired or replaced by the time we left. The bathroom is long overdue for a remodelling. The condo needs to be painted by a professional, not an amateur. The glassware needs to be replaced. The pots and pans need to be replaced. Either the lanai furniture needs to be replaced or the upholstery needs to be cleaned and stored some place other than the lanai so it will stay clean. The fake-wood flooring looks cheap, feels uneven and plastic under bare feet. The living room needs a larger coffee table. An area rug in the living room would be good. A couple of light bulbs were burned out. The fitted sheet didn’t stay fitted -- perhaps tired elastic. In short, the apartment was poor value at $700 a night.
