PH19

Our fifth stay at Sugar Beach Resort. This unit was the best outfitted for our 2 weeks stay of all the unitss we've had at Sugar Beach. The grounds are well maintained, great pool. Away from crowds, yet ten minutes from resturants, groceries. The beach is lovely for walking and swimming.

My Stay in Kihei

My one complaint is that there were gnats all over the balcony. I could not go out and sit on the balcony like I wanted to because of this. That said, it's a very nice apartment and the view is spectacular.

Everything you could ask for and more!!!

We had such a wonderful time! The condo is really nice and that balcony has amazing views. We enjoyed eating numerous meals on the balcony while watching the waves. We even saw whales and sea turtles from the balcony. The condo is very clean and the bed is comfy! We had everything we needed. The closet with beach chairs was an extra bonus. All of the appliances are new and work great. Kitchen is fully stocked!! Fast response from the owner when asked a few questions which was great! Would definitely recommend 👌 Also, the location is perfect!! The beach was beautiful, clean, not crowded, and the central location made it easy to go everywhere on the island. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your condo! We will return!

Nice enough

I felt like grounds were nice. Little farther out than I prefer so I might stay in other side of Kihei where there are more things by walk to and nicer accommodations. We were however disappointed to arrive at check in 4:00 to find the room had not been cleaned yet . We had to wait two hours to get in the condo . Thus resort is in the bay not along the ocean front so whale watching was not as good as I’d hoped . We paid 500 a night I think that was too much and you could find a nicer place elsewhere

Honeymoon

This was a great place for our honeymoon. Conveniently located between Lahaina and Wailea. Not far from airport. Pacific Whale Foundation just up the road, great whale watching excursion. Lots of great places to eat within reasonable distance. Plus the condo was super well stocked with all necessities. Really enjoyed our time there; clean, quiet, friendly and accommodating.

Great Condo

We stayed 11/3-11/22. This condo was very clean and perfectly guest ready. Lots of quality supplies provided like soaps, shampoo, lotions, foil, wrap, dish and laundry soaps etc. Quality bedding and linens. Excellent view and location in resort. Loved the decor and vibe of this unit. Lots of families with kids dominating pool and beach area, so if you like an adult atmosphere be advised. We had several days of heavy winds making it hard to use pool and beach. We would definitely stay here again. Mahalo for the early checkin.

Felt like home!

Our short stay in PH19 has come to an end and we are sad to go. The oceanfront lanai was perfect for coffee in the morning, sunset cocktails or late evening nightcaps. In addition to being beautifully decorated and maintained, the unit was well stocked with just about anything you needed for cooking, laundry, showering, and beach amenities (towels, umbrella, and chairs). It just felt like home! Any inquiries we made were answered promptly and to our satisfaction. Sugar Beach resort is located a short drive to local shops and restaurants in Kihei and Waimea. We would not hesitate to stay here again and highly recommend this unit to others.

The most beautiful place to stay!

Absolutely the best place we have stayed. It was styled so beautifully we fell in love with the condo immediately. The view to the ocean from the minute you open the door is what you dream about. The bed was so comfortable the only reason you would want to get out of it was to keep from missing any moment of Maui! James & Lori thought of every need you can imagine. They supplied soap, shampoo, towels, beach chairs, binoculars, beach towels, washer/dryer & detergent, paper towels, baggies, pen/paper, seasonings, cookware, fans, and even a sound machine that had waves crashing! When we got home we talked about the fact there was nothing that could have been added to our condo to make it any more enjoyable.

Good/bad - I was there for the fires

We usually visit the island in Feb/Mar. This was my first time during the summer - and first time staying at Sugar Beach Resort. I was on the island to spread mom's ashes in her favorite Maui places. First half was wonderful, everything was as we expected. Then the fires broke out and took away any desire to be out having fun while so many were suffering so much. We helped where we could, which is the best we could do. Every local had multiple horror stories. It was very eerie. The unit was perfect and very well stocked. But more than that, the Warden's went out of their way in being responsive to my three flight changes going home. They didn't have to go above and beyond, but they really stepped up to help. Can't thank them enough for their hospitality. The view from the penthouse is absolutely perfect. No complaints at all - would highly recommend staying there. If I'm ever in need again, this will be my first choice.

Great unit - some annoyances

This unit had everything we needed and the resort is in a great location - close enough to Kihei for convenience but far enough away to be quiet and relaxing. The downsides were that there was a noise coming from the bathroom that was quite annoying and there was construction in the unit next door that was reallly loud one day when we were in the unit. The shrieking noise in the bathroom was mostl covered by closing both doors between the bathroom and bedroom but still an annoyance regardless as closing the room off also limited air flow. We were only provided one washcloth and no hand towels when we arrived. It took 48 hours to get those delivered, which was frustrating but not a deal breaker since we at least had full size bath towels. We would probably stay at sugar beach again but not sure I would do this unit due to the noise in the bathroom and delayed response of property management.

So much noise

The condo was beautiful and comfortable, but there was a MASSIVE construction project going on next door. We couldn’t hear each other speak in the condo, all day long, for 4 of our 6 days. The air conditioning unit let out a loud shrieking noise half the night. Property management told us tough luck on the construction and that they knew about the project but they’re not required to let the owners of the rented unit or us know in advance about it. Their advice was to see if the owners would let us cancel and to go try and rebook a different property. Put in a maintenance request for the AC and my cell phone number, property management said they called the house phone in the condo (which we weren’t in because of the unbearable noise) and the AC was never addressed. The unit itself is great but these two items had a big negative impact on our stay.

Amazing vacation!

The unit was clean and as described with views so beautiful we had trouble deciding whether to go out or just sit on the lanai and relax while watching the whales jump. Our departure flight was delayed by almost half a day, and the owners allowed us to stay late so we actually got to use the last day instead of sitting at the airport waiting. This is our fourth time to Maui and our favorite trip so far, would stay here again without question and will direct our friends and family to this unit as well!

Whale watching

Excellent location for whale watching tours, the aquarium and farmers market. Watched whales from our lanai, walked the beach and used the beautiful pool. I would love to come back for an outrigger canoe experience located right next door. Location couldn’t have been more perfect. The boardwalk in the wildlife refuge was amazing too. Great place for nature lovers 💕

Beautiful Property

The unit was wonderful. Had daily whale shows from the balcony. Good location away from the bustle of Kihei. Beautiful beach. Turned out though, that the pool was closed for four days vs the two that we were notified of. Resealing of the deck usually done in September, but instead, January. Had counted on some down time poolside, but we did other things instead.

Why they chose this property

The purchase of this property was just the next natural step in our adventures. We were married on Maui many moons ago and this is our favorite island. We had to have this penthouse at Sugar Beach after sitting on the lanai, the views are amazing!

What makes this property unique

There are very few Maui Condo Resorts where you are literally 50' from the ocean with a 5 mile stretch of sandy beach. The views range from Makenna to Maalaea Bay with Molok'i and Lanai islands in the distance.
