About this property

BEACHFRONT condo, ocean view, steps to sea, heated pool,hot tub, AC, Sugar Beach

Welcome to your 5th floor condo ON THE BEACH, steps from the sand and sea, central AC, at Sugar Beach Resort. #504 is a sweet vacation spot on Maui and your home away from home, located at a beachfront condo complex, with a swimmable beach, and 4 miles of sugary sand to walk on.

Centrally located in North Kihei on Maui's south side, Kihei is the best town from which to explore all of Maui, including Wailea, Paia, Kula, Makawao, Wailuku, Haleakalā, (dormant volcano) and the famous Road To Hana, with its many waterfalls, swimming holes, rainbow Eucalyptus trees, and of course, the lush green rainforest that is Hana, in East Maui.

If you would like a virtual tour, please go to http://www.facebook.com/Sugar-Beach-504-106446884876190

For sofa bed, please see our short video on how to unfold it; it is the third "picture" on our Vrbo listing, as you scroll though.

Sugar Beach Resort is on the south shore of Maui, a 20 minute drive from OGG airport, at the base of the West Maui Mountains, right next to Maalaea Bay. Located along a 4 mile stretch of a sandy, swimmable beach where the waves lap the shore, Sugar Beach is truly an "ocean front" property, rare on Maui. No crossing the street to get to the beach for you!

We often see whales (in season) from the lanai. Whale season is typially mid-December through mid-April, with a chance to see whales as early as middle of November and as late as end of April.

SB#504 is a one-bedroom, one-bath beachfront condo on the 5th floor, with ocean and pool views, as well as views of the West Maui mountains. It sleeps up to four people***, with a king bed in the bedroom and a sofa bed in the living room.

***best suited for 2 adults + 2 small kids (kids age 10 and younger) or 3 adults total. The sofa bed might not be comfortable for more than 1 adult, tween or teenager.

Whether you want to snorkel the coral reefs teeming with tropical fish or swim in the sparkling waters of nearby South Maui beaches, (Kamaole I, II, and II, Ulua, Mokapu, Keawakapu, Wailea, Polo) or hike through lush forests, splash in the many waterfall pools on the road to Hana, explore caves and lava tubes, attend a Luau, go ziplining, visit a black sand beach, marvel at the glory of sunset from the top of Haleakalā volcano, visit a lavender farm or simply swim in a heated pool, sunbathe, and relax, Maui has it all, and Sugar Beach Resort is the best place from which to enjoy everything Maui has to offer.

When you stay at Sugar Beach #504, you will enjoy:
• Ocean view from your private lanai in the evening, while sipping the beverage of your choice and, (in-season) whale watching.
• Being only a few steps away from sinking your toes into the sand, or swimming in the Pacific Ocean.
• Boogie boards, coolers, and 2 beach chairs (we do NOT provide fins or snorkel equipment, any pictured are rentals)
• Access by phone or text to our amazing on-island Manager, who responds quickly, 24 hours a day.
• Central A.C.
• Free parking space
• Heated pool (*fenced, for guests only)
• Children’s pool*. (fenced, for guests only)
• Hot tub with jets (fenced, for guests only)
• Free high speed Wi-Fi
• Free basic cable & free landline phone to US and Canada
• Washer/dryer in condo
• Bathtub and shower, with grab bar
• Modern, well equipped kitchen
(including Keurig coffee maker, and a "normal" coffee maker, high end Vitamix blender, and a "normal" blender, pizza cutter, pizza pan, cookie sheets and a range of pots and pans for your cooking needs)
• Walking 10 minutes down the beach, to Ululani’s Shave Ice (best shave ice on Maui!) -facing the ocean, turn left and walk about 10 minutes until you see all the canoes on the sand, turn left and cross the road. You will see the ABC store (little convenient market) and Ululani’s Shave Ice
• Maui Sights & Treasures (a local company whose mission is “to find the best activity tours for our guests”) is located at Sugar Beach Resort, and they can arrange activities and tours for you; feel free to call them at 1-808-879-6260 or google their website to see what they can offer.
Please note: we do not have an ice maker; we have ice cube trays and Safeway is a 12 minute drive if you want to buy a bag of ice.
*Note: each year the Sugar Beach Resort pool is closed for repairs for 2 weeks, starting on the second Monday of September; this is why our rates are so deeply discounted in September.

To chill and relax, or to explore and adventure? At Sugar Beach, you are perfectly positioned to do both.

Sunbathe by the pool in the numerous lounge chairs, relax on the meticulously manicured lawns, swim in the ocean, sit in the heated hot tub and enjoy the jets, or use the gas grills on the ocean front lawn to barbeque a meal, steps away from the waves.

You are equally well set to explore the magnificence of the island, if you so choose.
A few options to explore, for folks age 2-92:
• Maui Ocean Center (5 mins away- amazing aquarium)
• Surfing Goat Dairy farm to see and milk goats, sample cheese
• Ali’I Lavender Farm in Kula
• Baby Beach in Spreckelsville (usually clear, calm shallow water)
• Ho’okipa Beach to turtle watch (don’t touch!)
• Road to Hana
• Haleakalā crater (Sunrise requires reservations, sunset is a dazzling, experience, less crowded, and no reservations required.)
• Pipiwai trail through the bamboo forest
• Kapalua Bay (snorkel, sunbathe, great swimming beach)
• Zipline
• Lava Tube Caves
• Black sand beach (requires reservations: Waiʻanapanapa State Park is a 122-acre state park in Hana, located at the end of Waiʻanapanapa Road off Hana Highway at mile marker 32, 53 miles east of Kahului, Maui; to make reservations go to: https://www.gowaianapanapa.com )
• 'Īao Valley (reservation needed)
• Coastal walk in Wailea

Please note: we do NOT have an ice maker; we have ice cube trays or you can buy a bag of ice.
We are thrilled to welcome you to our island home; paradise is waiting to welcome you.

Best vacation of a lifetime!!

We'd never been to Maui (just Oahu and Bog Island). The condo was idyllic with amazing views, surf sounds, and very quiet except a little highway noise. All patrons were respectful, took care of their kids, followed the rules and were friendly. The condo itself was SUPER clean and very well equipped with cookware, so we actually enjoyed eating in more than we had planned. The host was SUPER helpful with 20 pages of tips (which we newcomersnanticipated). Everything was slick from top to bottom. They even let you use their boogie boards, outdoor chairs, blankets, coolers etc. this is their private vacation home so you want to treat it like their friends/guests. We will definitely be back!

5th floor overlooking the beach and pool. Nice central location. Older property that is well maintained. The owner is very responsive and excellent at communication. The bedroom of the condo is along a road, so there is some noise. Very well stocked kitchen for those who like to prepare meals in.

Great stay

Very clean and the unit had everything we needed: well stocked kitchen including condiments. Lots of bath towels, full size shampoo and conditioner, sunscreen, coolers, beach towels, etc. Comfortable bed and furniture, nicely decorated. The pool is small for the size of the complex, but it was never over-crowded. However, the hot tub was usually full of people. The only negative is that there is little space for luggage. If the rattan shelf unit in the bedroom was moved to the dining area that would leave some space for luggage in the bedroom.

Wonderful place to stay!

Sugar Beach resort is a well maintained, quiet property. I love that you can sit in lounge chairs right at the edge of the ocean. The property is within walking distance to several businesses like a bakery and a shave ice place. I loved walking on the beach every morning. You will see incredible sunsets right from your lanai! The owners of unit 504 have an immaculately clean, beautifully decorated and comfortable unit. They went above and beyond to provide everything that you could possibly need for your stay. The only “negative” I can think of is that the ice maker wasn’t working but they provided ice cube trays. This wasn’t a big deal for me and you can always buy a bag of ice. I have family that live on Maui so I visit often and I would most definitely return to this unit.

Lots of amenities! Would definitely come back!

Very clean. Host & property mgr had great communication. Key code made the check-in process very easy. Lots of free parking (you have to get your parking pass from the resort office). The property is on North Kihei Rd, which is much less crowded than South Kihei Rd, so it's easier to make a left turn out of Sugar Beach Resort. This unit comes with lots of amenities like: laundry detergent pods, dishwasher pods, dishsoap, dish sponge, extra beach & bath towels, boogie boards, beach chairs, sunscreen, clothes-drying rack w/ clothespins, extra sheets & blankets, cleaning supplies, full-size shampoo conditioner & body wash, tissues, paper towels, toilet paper, & a filtered water pitcher so you don't have to buy heavy cases of water bottles. The only thing I needed to buy was lotion. There's lots of charging ports in convenient, easy-to-access places. There's lots of table space to put your things down. The resort even had shopping carts to help you carry all your groceries/bags up to your unit. Loved staying here!

Mellow Vibe by the beach

Firstly, the owner is an incredible person. She made us feel so at home and wanted to make sure we were comfortable and that all of our needs were met. It’s refreshing to communicate with the owner so personally in comparison to going through an agency. The unit has everything that you need when visiting the island and staying at a vacation rental. Sugar beach is beautiful and there is a welcome aura to the property and community there. We would definitely stay at the unit again in the future, not only because the owner is so amazing to work with but also the overall experience with staying at the condo was satisfying.

About the host

Hosted by Megan Mehta

Host profile image
As a couple, we have been coming to the Hawaiian Islands for 20+ years and fell hard for Maui and each other...We saved our pennies and dreamed that maybe one day we could get a small place on a Maui beach. We love being on island; it's paradise on earth to us. We welcomed our child into the world in 2011, and he has grown up on the beaches of south Maui. He learned to swim in the pool at Sugar Beach. We are so grateful for every minute we send on Maui.

Why they chose this property

We love that our condo is a few steps away from the sand in toes experience. When here, we wake up and walk the 4 mile beach each morning. We watch whales in season from our lanai and are wowed nightly by the dazzling sunsets.
We looked at hundreds of properties on Maui before deciding to buy at Sugar Beach in Kihei- centrally located, 20 minutes from the airport and the perfect location from which to explore all of Maui.
We hope it feels like home to you when you visit.

What makes this property unique

A truly "on the beach" condo complex- no crossing the street to put toes into the sand
It's our home away from home and we love to share it with guests
Free parking
Air conditioning
Modern, well equipped unit
Heated pool and hot tub, cleaned daily
