About this property

Oceanfront Sugar Beach Resort Penthouse 34. Amazing Ocean Views! Remodeled!

Welcome to Sugar Beach Resort Penthouse 34, one of the best ocean view condos in Maui. The top floor lanai is very private and looks out on endless ocean and 5 miles of white sandy beach - perfect for peaceful morning or evening walks. Watch the whales during whale season (January to April) without leaving the residence, and experience some of the best sunsets in Maui from the balcony. The ocean view is spectacular!!

PH34 is rented directly from the owners. The kitchen and bath were completely remodeled in August, 2018 with all new stainless steel appliances and beautiful quartz counters in the kitchen for a very clean and modern feel. It has all new very comfortable furniture including a king size bed with a new mattress and bedding (April, 2018). The sleeper sofa is also new with queen size upgraded mattress for your comfort. The condo also has a smart flat screen TV and a bluetooth JBL speaker for you to easily enjoy music directly from your phone while making dinner in the kitchen and enjoying the view. We have provided free wifi as well for your convenience.

Our condo also has central air conditioning which is rare for maui condos - keep the inside at whatever temperature makes you the most comfortable. The condo is tastefully equipped with everything you will need including boogie boards, beach umbrella, beach towels, beach chairs etc.

The complex has elevators for easy access from the condo to the beach and beautiful oceanfront pool, spa, and BBQs. The grounds are manicured and the grass leads you right to be beach, only steps away. There is an activities booking company in the lobby for you to take advantage of Maui's sights and excursions, or just relax all week and do nothing.

Sugar Beach is conveniently located on the west side of Maui. It is approximately 15 minutes from the airport (and Costco!), 15-20 minutes north of Wailea and 30 minutes south of Kaanapali and Lahaina.

Free parking including covered parking and no resort fees or hidden fees. Finally, please note Sugar Beach Resort closes their pool the second week of September each year for annual maintenance. Please inquire about discounted rates for this week.

End of our Hawaiian 35 yrs Annivessary Trip!

Thouroughly enjoyed our last days on Maui. The location was perfect, in the hub of everything, close to restaurants, airport and a beautiful long beach right outside our doors. The added bonus of the beach chairs was perfect for our day spent at Big Beach. A perfect end to a vacation of a lifetime!

Perfect

From the view to the location to the condition of the condo…everything was perfect. Pool was great - never crowded. Parking was abundant. Owner was very responsive throughout. Walk right onto the beach and take a left for a 5 min walk to Sugar Beach Bakery (a must). Looking forward to returning.

Birthday getaway

Great property and a great location. This unit is a penthouse that faces the ocean perfectly! Nicely appointed kitchen (we like to cook). Also, a very comfy bed and pillows. Sound silly but a nice mattress and pillows make a difference after a long day of hiking, beaching and exploring. We will book again for sure!

Fantastic stay!

We have stayed at Sugar Beach five times and this was by far our favorite condo we have stayed in. Communication was quick and check in easy. The condo itself is very clean, furnished with contemporary and comfortable furniture and very nice kitchen amenities. The towels and sheets were new and soft and the bed itself was super comfy! We appreciated the beach gear as well! As always, the view at Sugar Beach is perfect as is the beach. We had a turtle swim next to us one day! Such a great location too…easy access to everything but quiet. We will always come back to Sugar Beach and would, without hesitation book Kevin’s place again!! Thank you!!

Beautiful view, comfortable apartment

We are two adults and an infant, and stayed here for a week in nov-dec. The view from the balcony is magnificent, and the sunsets are incredible over the ocean. The unit is indeed directly over the beach, with a few feet of lawn and palm trees in between. It is conveniently located to everything in south Maui, and easy access to and from the airport and everything around there. And of course getting around the rest of Maui from here is also easy. The kitchen worked great for our needs. We enjoyed the building's hot tub / pool, and walking along the adjacent beach. We also appreciated and used the provided beach chairs and umbrellas. Note if you are traveling with an infant, we had to bring our own pack-n-play crib. We had a great time and would definitely stay again!

Able to book on short notice

Our stay was good but I doubt we would book there again. Since we were unable to stay in our original west Maui location, we had to make this work at such short notice. Condo was adequately furnished with a great view. The owners were nice and were responsive. Only two gripes were the following: 1. Was a small space, esp in the bedroom and bathroom. Space was limited and I somewhat had to live out of my suitcase while offering up the dresser space to my wife. 2. For half of the time, there was a sewer like smell (which was really bad at times). We came to find out it was from the rotting decaying fish carcuses from a fish pond that was drying up across the street. It’s for this reason I wouldn’t book this place again or any other unit within Sugar Beach Resort. We chose to travel more around the island to avoid this nasty smell. It was unavoidable around the entire complex (pool, beach, balcony, parking lot… etc) when the wind would pickup.

Awesome Views, Comfortable Condo A+++++++++

PH34 has amazing Lanai views right on the ocean. The condo is equipped with the necessities needed for your stay. We had friends who stayed on the second floor and got wind blown sand on their lanai daily. Being up in the PH we had no issues with sand. Condo is very comfortable. Would definitely stay in this unit again if available for our future Maui trip. Kevin was a super host!!!

So relaxing!

It was a great location. The beach and pool area were awesome and that’s where we spent most of our time. After the fires, even though we weren’t in danger. We tried to change our flights nothing was available. Our checkout time was 11am and our flight was at 9pm. Our original plan was to spend all that day in Lahaina. Since that all changed I reached out to Kevin to see if we could get a late checkout. He responded immediately and said he’ll check a few things and get back to me. A short time later he emailed and said his guests coming in that day cancelled. He changed the housekeeping and we could stay until time for our flight. We were so relieved and thankful. We would definitely stay there again.

Wanted to take our teen boys to catch some waves. This condo was a great location- walking distance to the ABC store for quick snacks and amazing shaved ice at Ululani’s.

About the host

Hosted by Kevin Adamson

We are Northern California residents with three kids. My wife and I discovered Maui on our honeymoon in 1997 and we have been vacationing here ever since (as much as possible!). We finally bought our condo in 2018 and immediately purchased all new furniture, rugs, glasses, plates etc. to make it as comfortable as possible, not only for ourselves and family, but also for you.

Why they chose this property

Sugar Beach Resort has some of the best balcony views in Maui and is west facing so the sunsets are breathtaking. The balcony is also very private - you are 100% separated from your neighbors and being on the top floor it is quiet, other than the sound of the waves! We love this property because it is in a very peaceful and quiet area. Oceanfront view condos in Wailea and Makenna generally cost $800-$1200 per night and up. Sugar Beach Resort has equally exceptional views for significantly less money. The beach is also longer than any other white sandy beach in Maui, and most of the beach has no condos or hotels.
