Kihei Sands is a very comfortable condo right next to the ocean. It is clean, nicely decorated & recently remodeled, furniture looks new. I am a second generation guest. I was there with my parents in 1999, and back again about 15 years ago. My recent stay in June of 2024 was very enjoyable. My husband and I did the road to Hana, a sunset dinner cruise and went to Nakalele Blowhole, north of Kihei. We also did some shopping at nearby markets. We loved having a first floor unit with a view of the ocean. We spent a lot of time on our patio enjoying the nice weather and sound of the ocean. Love that there was plenty of tables and lounges for people to enjoy, plus boogie boards, kids sand toys, books, BBQ's and various other items to use while there. The staff were very friendly.

Kihei sands is quaint and intimate. Its got everything you need to be able to get out and do things and still be able to come back and literally...steps off the patio still be able to enjoy being at the beach at all hours morning and night.

This was our 3rd time to Maui & staying at Kihei Sands and our 2nd time in this condo. We love sitting on the lanai watching the waves crash and the beach is just steps away. The condo is clean and well stocked. The King size bed is very comfortable and you can see the beach from the bedroom window. Its lovely to open the window and listen to the waves crashing. The property is clean and well maintained. It is wonderful to have management on-site. They are so helpful & personable. The pool is what I enjoy most and you are right on the beach so its the best of both worlds. The pool is clean, well taken care of and rarely busy. There are community floaties to use or you can also purchase at the ABC store down the street and they will fill them for you for an extra $1. Its a short walk down sugar beach to the ABC store, small farmers market, Kihei bakery & my favorite...Ululani's shave ice. I highly recommend any condo at Kihei Sands....you just can't go wrong. It's worth every penny!

We loved this condo! The condo complex is beautiful, and the condo itself was perfect. We stayed with our three kids, and we all agreed it was a great place. I loved that the beach was literally just steps away from the lanai. While we were there new barbecues were installed, and they are super nice.

This property was nothing shy of amazing! Footsteps away from the beach with everything we needed to enjoy our time! A very stress free trip with great communication! I Will definitely be recommending this property to family and friends and will be coming back!

We loved our stay! It was a treat to stay in a location right on the beach. It was ideal for early morning paddles on the calm waters, walks on the long stretches of beach and watching the sunsets and even a full moon rise. The condo is well equipped with all that you need for a beach vacation. Krysta the owner did a great job communicating with us before arriving. We really appreciated all the recommendations that she shared. When we contacted Krysta about a few minor issues she responded right away and solved the problems. For example, one of the beach chairs accidentally broke and she went out and replaced it with a new one that same day. I highly recommend this condo for a getaway to Maui. We’d love to stay here again if we come back to Maui.

If you are looking for a quiet relaxing condo, then this is the place for you. Condo 8 has a great view, and condo was everything we wanted. The only downside is that the beach is the color of dark brown sugar, so it makes the ocean look dirty when it really isn't. If you are an avid snorkeler, or like crystal clear water, then make the 30 min drive a few days to Kaanapali beach and park for free to see clear water. The ocean isn't the condos fault, just didn't want someone to be mislead by the "Sugar" beach description. The owner is always around the property and is really friendly and helpful.

I can’t say enough good things about our stay at this condo. First they provided everything and more that was needed for our family of 4. The place was clean and super friendly and helped us with all our questions. They also are right on the beach where you can take a walkway and go from condo to beach. We have zero complaints and will definitely be returning in the future.

Our vacation rental was a 1 bed/ 1 bath with a pullout. It was a very cute little place. We did have 4 people in ours, 2 adults and 2, 16 year old girls. It was a little cramped but we made it work fine. The location was perfect! Waking up everyday to have coffee on the beach was just what we needed. The area is safe enough that we felt comfortable letting our teenage daughters go off and explore on their own. The kitchen was fully equipped with what we needed to make our stay feel like we were still at home.

This condo is beautifully appointed. Everything you need is here and is top-notch! The location can't be beat. Right on Sugar Sand Beach, which surprisingly was never crowded at all. There is a nice pool, outdoor BBQs, new patio furniture and lounges, plus a nice grassy area. The owner, Elen, was a delight to communicate with!

Family wedding at Sugar Beach Events, whole family stayed at Kihei Sands. Perfect mix of togetherness and privacy provided by renting several units, walk to the wedding, walk down the beach to Sugar Beach Bake Shop. B11 is clean, comfortable, well furnished and very nicely updated. The separate enclosed bedrooms were ideal for us. The beach is beautiful, clean, and ideal for long walks and little kid sand castles, sparkling pool a nice alternative to the surf. Hope to return here again.

My daughter actually took the trip. I just did the booking.
Here's what she and her fiance (they just got engaged up on Haleakala) had to say:
"The condo was perfect. Beautiful, clean, full kitchen, free coffee, beach supplies. Everything we needed plus more. Best part: to get to the beach you walk out the condo door, go down the hall, pass the pool and there is the beach right in front of you. No road to cross... it's all just there. Ideal location in an ideal community. We loved the condo. We loved the beach. We loved Kihei.
Counting the days until we can go back."
From my side, Elen was great to work with. Her communication was excellent. She kept us totally on top of things and had great recommendations for things to do, places to eat as well as where to rent the car!
My daughter also mentioned that check-out was a breeze. There wasn't a mountain of chores to do like some short term rentals. They totally appreciated that as well.
Everything was 10 out of 10!
Thank you!!

We’ve stayed many places in Maui and this is a favorite. Great location in Kihei. Super clean, very comfortable beds, excellent pillows and linens. The soundproofing is great and we never heard any road noise or other people. Even though it’s small it never felt crowded. The decor is nice and the whole condo has been updated.
The owner is very responsive and nice. Rick the maintenance person, was so kind and helpful.
My only suggestions for improvement would be if the keyless entry code were simpler- as in the renter’s cell number.
Overall a great place to stay and would definitely recommend.

The unit was clean and everything was functional. We had 6 adults staying here and it was a bit small for our group. Had it been a group with a couple of kids it would have been more appropriate. Pictures make the unit appear a bit bigger. Property was beautiful and we loved the back patio and pool. We were in the ocean a couple times behind the condo as well. The unit is a bit outdated but again it worked for us. We were not in it a lot - we spent our days out exploring the island.

Elen was an excellent host, she was timely with all the information for her condo and then she also had so many recommendations of places to go on the Island. I would highly recommend staying at this location. I will book again on my next trip to the Islands.
A few things had changed since my last visit to Maui that I just wanted other guests to keep in mind if they book a trip. If you do the Road to Hana and want to visit the black sand beach they require reservations. Also if you want to do the Sunrise on Mt Haleakala you will want to book that early, they sell out a month in advance. I will say we did not get a reservation and got a recommendation from a local that stated the sunset is just as gorgeous and you don’t need reservations for that. We did that and she did not disappoint, it was Breathtaking!!!

I wanted a beachfront property to stay on Sugar Beach with my 3 girls (18,18 and 22). This property in Kihei Sands was PERFECT!!
Communication before stay was awesome! I had no questions before we arrived . Townhome easy to find and easy to get into (which hasn’t been the case at other properties ).
Property itself was immaculate! Very upgraded, very clean. I am very picky bc I travel a lot for work and the unit was beyond perfect . Everything you need is there (beach chairs, towels, boogie boards, kitchen needs, ect).
I enjoyed having coffee on the patio right outside OR we would walk downstairs and enjoy ocean front .
Sugar Beach is right outside . We walked at least 5+ miles everyday just walking on the stretch of beach.
In walking distance you have an ABC store, bakery and farmers market. A little further away you have a grocery store and other stores .
Tip : download Maui Hopper on your phone before you come. It’s the Maui version of Uber but local eateries. We used every night and ate outside on the ocean front community deck . We used Uber Eats for coffee in the morning as well.
If you forget anything , Target delivers same day on the Target app for $9.99. Also Instacart has many options for delivery if you don’t have a car .
We LOVED this little place and cannot wait to come back !!

The location, location, location was fabulous. The cute condo is a little small for 4 people, BUT we were hardly in there all at the same time so it worked and it was stocked so well. The pool is smaller than it looks in the pictures AND it looks like it belongs to the condo that is fenced in with it, so if you chose this location for the pool, just know that. The patio overlooking the beach is beautiful and our group of 12 used it A LOT during the four days that we were there. We saw a sea turtle the day that we swam at the beach, so that really enhanced our stay. Again, the location is wonderful. The parking spots are super tight, so make sure you have a skinny driver to pull your vehicle in and out. LOL I would definitely come back to this condo or to the complex again and I would recommend it to my friends. So glad that we were able to come to Maui after the house that we originally rented in Lahaina burned down last year. OH, the flowers and plants on the property are simply gorgeous.

Overall we had a good stay. The unit was in excellent condition and very clean. The beach out front was wonderful, fairly calm water and lots of soft sand to spread out on as the beach has pretty low traffic.I had failed to notice that on the booking website that despite being only 30 units the complex is billed as a spot for family reunions, etc. There were several multi generational family groups staying there in multiple units who kind of took over the shared grounds which are quite small. As a childless couple looking for a quiet vacation this was somewhat of a drawback for us. This condo also had far less household items like condiments, shampoo/conditioner, etc than other places we have stayed (although it did have plenty of kitchenware and nice beach chairs). It is run much like a hotel vs a condo which is not a bad thing but just don't expect as many of those things to be avaliable if you are used to staying in other similar condos.

We enjoyed this property very much-clean, well decorated and everything we needed.

We especially appreciated the boogie board, cooler and beach chairs. We stayed a week and there are washers and dryers in the complex but they have somewhat limited hours so just have to plan ahead if you need to do laundry. Other than that it was a perfect spot!
