About this property

Oceanfront at Sugar Beach Resort - #226

Our ocean front condo has unobstructed views of the ocean with the islands of Kahoolawe and Molokini in the distance. SBR#226 is in the middle of the second floor of Plantation Building at Sugar Beach. The Resort has large, free, off-street parking areas with easy access to condos via stairs or elevators.

The beach is just steps away from the condo. The lanai overlooks the beach - has a table with 2 chairs and a chaise lounge. The lanai is great place to enjoy a meal, relax and view awesome sunsets - and whale watch during whale season (usually December through March).

Condo sleeps a maximum of 2 people with a comfortable Cal-King bed. (No sleeper sofa.)

Our condo was remodeled in late 2018 - just before Hawaii was closed due to COVID. The kitchen now has granite counter tops, new cabinets, new range and new washer/dryer. All floor coverings were replaced with vinyl plank flooring throughout the condo. The bathroom has granite countertops, new cabinets and new lighting. We continually strive to have our condo in top-notch condition for our returning and first-time guests. The condo is decorated in a tropical, Hawaiian motif.

Our completely furnished condo includes: Central A/C, dishwasher, microwave; washer/dryer, free long-distance phone calls within the U.S. and Canada, free internet access; in-condo safe; cable TV in the living room and bedroom; Blu-ray DVD, stereo with CD and Bluetooth. Also included: all bedding, towels, dishes, glassware, cooking utensils, hair dryer, etc.

Sugar Beach Resort is located on the sunny south-central side of Maui and is about 25 minutes from the Kahului airport. The Resort has a large heated swimming pool, Jacuzzi, a large covered cabana, indoor sauna, 6 gas barbecues with awesome ocean views while you BBQ, and a small putting green, Dina's sandwich shop is also on the property. Also on the property, is an excellent Activities Center (Maui Sights & Treasures) where you can book your Maui sight-seeing activities conveniently. Plus golf courses, restaurants, markets, shopping and sight-seeing are just minutes away.

Join our many guests who return to SBR 226 to relax and enjoy the spectacular views from our direct beachfront location. Experience the gentle sound of waves breaking along the miles of sandy beach while enjoying all the comforts of home.

Great home in paradise
We had an awesome stay at 226 Sugar Beach! Condo was clean, comfortable, had everything we needed plus more and was literally right on the ocean! We enjoyed breakfast every morning and ended our day sitting on the balcony listening to the waves crash! The bed was comfortable and there were many amenities to use that made the stay so wonderful. From a well stocked kitchen, a safe, starter supplies that were plentiful to beach supplies, we had everything we needed. Don’t hesitate to book this unit! You will have a fabulous time!

Perfect Location, Beautiful Views!
We had a wonderful stay! The condo was spotless on arrival and was stocked with everything you need to get settled. The bed is comfortable, there is a washer/drier and dishwasher, but the headline is THE VIEW! There is just nothing better than sitting on the balcony looking out over the beautiful blue ocean and listening to the sound of the waves (you can even spot some whales). If you can tear yourself away from the view, the location is perfect for exploring. Sugar Beach is right outside your window, Kihei is a 10 min drive away as is Maalaea harbor (many boat trips leave from here), and you are close to several beaches. Safeway and other shops are nearby. Check in/out was a breeze, and the hosts reached outa couple of times by text to check that everything was going well. 100% recommend this place if you want the ocean view and beachside location!

Great location on our favorite beach! Big lanai with perfect view of the ocean and palm trees. Our first time at this complex, which has a nice big pool but we prefer some of the smaller complexes in the area. A comfortable unit with a newly renovated kitchen which was enjoyable. Suggestions: coffee filters, higher speed internet if an option,

Great unit, great location
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.

Sugar Beach 226 is lovely, and we would happily stay there again! The space is well-appointed, beautiful and comfortable, and the lanai is wonderful for watching the crashing waves and the sunset. It’s within 15 minutes of all the shops and restaurants in Kihei as well. Communication with the owners was excellent and any minor issues were handled in very quick fashion. We highly recommend 226!

Best stay ever.
I've been to Sugar Beach Resort several times over the years. My favorite place to stay. This unit beats them all. Beautifully appointed. Clean and had everything you needed and more. The hosts are so organized and getting around and knowing what to do and how things worked was great. They were very communicative as well. Always prompt with answering queries. We went at the same time as the horrible fires in Lahaina and the upcountry. A dear friend was barely able to escape with her 2 kids and her car. She lost everything. We were so happy to be there to help her. A coincidental miracle for sure. Thanks for providing us a welcoming place to stay.

Wonderful stay!
We stayed at Sugar Beach #226 for 4 nights and loved every minute of it. The resort is located in a very convenient location, with epic ocean view. The staff was friendly and attentive, and they made us feel welcomed. The room was spacious, comfortable and clean, with a private lanai overlooking the ocean. We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a serene and peaceful Hawaiian getaway.

Clean
Clean unit with Great up front Ocean View. Had a smoker next door and it was listed as a non smoking property. We complained to owner and management but nothing was done. Lots of notes all over the inside of the unit: drawers, shower, sliding glass doors, washer/dryer, etc. They really want you to know its their unit and follow their rules and guidelines. That put a little unneeded stress on our stay.

This beautiful condo is centrally located in Kihei, which is close to everything. The condo was very well equipped with everything you need in the kitchen, chairs for sitting out at the beach and beach towels as well. Sitting out on the lanai each morning watching the ocean was my favorite place in the condo. Located on the second floor, it was easy to get to each afternoon when we got back from exploring the island. Will definitely be back!

Great condo with an amazing view
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving break at #226, everything was as expected, the condo was well furnished, the check-in was a breeze, the view and location were amazing. The only small nitpick I could possibly make - comparing to other vacation rentals I've stayed at - the kitchen (condiments) was not as well stocked. For example, at other places we've found some combination of a stick of butter, eggs/bread, ketchup, some jellies, maybe a jar of peanut butter, zip lock bags, parchment paper, plastic wrap and aluminum foil. In some cases, I've also found small packs of yogurt and ice cream! All of these make it easy to pack a quick lunch to go or grab a late night bite/snack. Having said that, the kitchen did have a mixer/grinder, lots of varieties of pots and pans, and assortment of plates, bowls, glasses, cutlery, etc. so much appreciated. A pen to write an entry into the guestbook would have also been useful to have. All in all, I would totally stay here again in a heartbeat. The above are just how this vacation home compared to others I've been in, which could have been lacking in other ways.

About the host

Hosted by George and Barbara Karapetian

Host profile image
Our Sugar Beach condo is not "just a rental" - it's our second home. Our permanent home is in the mountains of Arizona in the Old West town of Prescott. We are original Sugar Beach Resort owners (1977), and we love spending as much time there as we can. We love sitting on the lanai at breakfast and at sunset. During the day we are always outside enjoying the water, sun and walks on the beach. We can't seem to get enough of being there - even after 42+ years!

Why they chose this property

While visiting Maui with our two young daughters years ago, we saw Sugar Beach Resort before it was completed. We toured the facility, loved the beach, the amazing views and realized that this would be a great vacation home for us. The rest is history! SBR 226 has been our home-away-from-home for many years now and we are always eager to return to it.

What makes this property unique

Spectacular beach/ocean views and sunsets from our direct oceanfront condo. Keyless electronic door lock (no keys to lose or carry!). Just steps away from the beach. Whale watch from condo's lanai during season - generally December through March.
