Second time staying at Sugar Beach resort and first time with this unit/renter. Would definitely use again! Great oceanfront view and walking distance to the best shaved ice that we found on Maui, Ululani’s.

We love this condo. Have stayed there twice and was hoping we could stay there the same dates in 2026 unfortunately it was already booked. But we were lucky enough to find another condo in the same building. This condo is perfect. Amazing location, quiet, great pool area. The grounds people do an amazing job of maintaining the pool and surrounding grounds. Just can’t say enough good things about Suagr beach

Waking up in the morning with a freshly made cup of hot steaming coffee, warm breakfast, sun beaming in the distance, the beach’s waves saluting you as you enjoy the morning through the balcony of this wonderful rental. Perfect weather, air conditioned property, provided us with snorkeling equipment, boogie boards, ice chest, umbrella, beach chairs, towels, coffee maker, and a cozy bed. Oops, almost forgot but this property has a washer and dryer perfect for those evenings after a long and sandy day at the beach.

The location of the Sugar Beach Resort was perfect for us. The unit itself was just ok. Two issues for me (1) you have to go through the bathroom to get to the bedroom (weird) (2) the shower in the bathroom is awful. The rain head on the shower emits little water. The shower itself is so small and the glass wall in the shower is too narrow so water runs out of the shower onto the bathroom floor.(annoying)

The location of Sugar Beach Resort is amazing!! Pros:- it has an ocean view and a bonus view on the outside wall as it's a corner unit!- the kitchen is updated with newer appliances- beautiful, large kitchen island- gorgeous view of the property and the beach!- a fridge with an ice-maker!Cons:- many of the extra things were found broken during our stay unfortunately (1. the deck box - all the sides were coming off. 2. the beach umbrella didn't work. 3. one of the beach chairs was in very rough shape and needed to have a part re-installed every time we used it. 4. the lock on the cooler was broken so it wouldn't stay closed when carrying it)- the shower leaked A LOT (just a bad design I think)- the bathroom sink drained slowly- the lanai furniture was too high for the railing, especially if you are short or have kids (major safety concern)- the condo was "good from far, far from good" - in pics it looks amazing, but in reality, it needs new paint/trim and the cupboards and drawers were not inline or not installed properly- the condo was not very clean; it looked like the floors hadn't been cleaned prior to our arrival, there were splatters in the kitchen, it was dusty, etc. Not a big deal unless you are a clean freak like me. I'm not sure if we'd stay again with all the above issues, but it did the trick for what we needed. For the price we paid, I expected a lot more pros than cons.

This condo was in a great location in Maui! Easy to get to and lots of great things to do close by. The condo itself could use an upgrade and a deep cleaning. The kids loved the pool and we all loved walking the beach finding treasures.

We loved our stay at this condo at Sugar Beach Resort. It was quiet, private, and beautiful. It's so amazing to wake up to the sound of waves crashing on the shore. It's centrally located, so made a great central location for driving to Haleakala, Iao Valley, and Kihei beaches. The mattress was great - medium-firm. The condo had a lot of supplies provided: dishwasher pods, laundry pods, dish soap, paper towel, dish sponge, hair dryer, beach towels, reusable ice packs. We used the washer/dryer for doing laundry. There was a Britta filter pitcher in the refrigerator to use. Beach chairs, umbrella, cooler, skim boards. Previous guests had left behind leftover sunscreen, so we didn't have to buy any ourselves. The wifi and TV, and the air conditioning worked great. The view from the lanai was incredible. We loved walking the beach. Sugar Beach Bake shop is within walking distance and has amazing malasadas and pies. The resort seemed well-kept and the beach was clean. The only negatives were it took a while to get an answer when I emailed a question to the owner ahead of the stay, but I think there was just some confusion between the owner and the property manager. I did eventually get an answer after I followed up. Also, the sink/vanity is a little small when two people are getting ready. But we would definitely recommend and would stay here again.

This is the third time that we stayed in Diane's condo at Sugar Beach Resort. Every time the condo was very clean, comfortable with furniture and stocked with a lot of spices and seasonings. The views are amazing! We chose mid to late February to hopefully see some whales; and we were successful on each of the three outings that were arranged through the facilities at Sugar beach. Hope to return soon!

The property is exactly as described. Everything you might want for a vacation stay was there. The kitchen was well stocked, and the appliances are high-end and brand new. The bed and linens are super comfy, as were the furnishings in the living room. We ate every meal on the patio with an unobstructed view of the ocean. It was a weeklong paradise. Highly recommend!

Nice little condo I could live here ! Had the best time in Maui The only thing was the beach at this time was a little choppy but really good beaches near by and close to wailea

This condo was wonderful!! It was clean and had all the amenities. You could tell it was well cared for. Sofa tended to make you want to nap because it was so comfy :)Sitting on the lanai in the morning with coffee was the perfect start of the day. The canoe club rowing by, the boats out in the water. So peaceful! Oh and the sunsets from that same lanai! Spectacular! The resort had a great pool area and hot tub. It also has a fun sandwich shop/bar. Good vibes!!Bill, the owner, was great at communicating. All questions were answered quickly and that was so appreciated. I would definitely recommend this unit to anyone. You won't be disappointed!

Great location with a great pool and hot tub! Loved that it was right on the beach and was easy to access. Check in process was smooth and easy. Inside the actual room was just okay. The bathroom looked like it hadn’t actually been really scrubbed in quite a while. Let’s just say there wasn’t a lack of mold in the shower.

February 2025

Loved the resort, pool, hot tub, sun tanning area and BBQ area were great. Condo is somewhat dated. Carpet in living room was very stained, countertops in kitchen were clean but old, appliances worked great. Bed was very comfortable, bathroom fan very noisy, we could hear the neighbour's fan all night (obviously they left theirs on overnight). We would stay there again, but carpet really needs replacing. We had to wear sandals inside as husband's socks were no longer white after walking around, bare feet got quite dirty.

Beautiful view from the lanai. The location on the beach was fantastic. We did have a problem in the kitchen, plumbers had to work on in it for a half a day. Lighting in the kitchen and bathroom needed to have lights replaced. The bathroom light was never replaced. Other than these problems I would probably rent it in the future.

The actual property and the unit itself are a bit dated. However, we continue to return because we choose units right on the water. This unit had everything we could need, was clean, comfortable, and the neighbors were quiet and friendly. Love the location.

Met all needs. Ocean view, pool, beach. Well maintained and equipped. Cooler, towels and other beach accessories as well. Would stay again if the opportunity comes about.
Joe C.
February 2025

The condo was lovely and as described. It had everything we needed for a one week stay. The reason for giving a 4 star for the check in procedure is: When you arrive at 10 am, it is a long day to not be able to check in until 4pm. We arrived about an hour early and asked to be allowed to check in. There is really no personal touch, or anyone to talk to about this. There did not appear to still be cleaners at the property, but no one got back to us to let us know. We ended up waiting until 4 because there was no one to talk to about this. Everything is automatic and programmed for the published hours. The office staff was very friendly but they have no control about this particular part of the check in process.

Beautiful area, and lovely, well-appointed suite. As we were moving from PH26, we had groceries and arrangements were made to enable us to put them in the unit when we were checking out of PH26. But our request for a late check-out ran int a bureaucratic nightmare. Despite receiving an email that late check-out was available, we never were able to arrange it. A bad end to a good stay!
