About this property

Maui's BEST- DIRECT Oceanfront!! Longest Sandy Beach on Maui!!

Welcome to Sugar Beach #228. I invite you to enjoy one of the world's finest beaches - Sugar Beach, with its 5 miles of golden soft sand, warm water and beautiful sunsets. This direct oceanfront condominium has been completely updated with all of the high end finishes you deserve for your Maui vacation.
When you open the front door you are greeted to a breathtaking and endless ocean view. Open the wall to wall sliding glass doors, step onto your private lanai and you are captivated by the soothing sound of the waves and the gorgeous sandy beach that is just feet from the tips of your barefoot toes. This is truly everything you dreamed Maui to be.
Sugar Beach #228 has been completely updated. In the kitchen you will find beautiful bamboo cabinets and gorgeous granite countertops, including a large eat-at island. There's lots of cookware and bakeware, mixing bowls and food storage containers, a coffee pot, toaster and a powerful blender for making perfect tropical smoothies.
In the bathroom there is a full-sized tiled shower with pebbled flooring. I also provide a hair dryer (so you have more room in your suitcase for taking home macadamia nuts!) and I make sure you have soap, shampoo and other essentials to get you started.
The lanai and the unit are covered throughout with 18 inch porcelain tiles. Cool on your feet and it won't leave you wondering what the last guy left behind in the carpet you've been walking on with your bare feet!
Sugar Beach #228 is a direct oceanfront unit located on the second floor. When you are inside you feel like you are sitting directly on the ocean. The second floor is ideal because you have the option of just going up and down one flight of stairs if you don't want to wait for an elevator. Unit #228 is also one of a few select units that does not have a side wall blocking your view of the beach from the lanai, allowing for unobstructed views up and down glorious Sugar Beach.
Sugar Beach Resort is centrally located on Maui making it the ideal place to stay for all of your adventures. You can book a whale watching or snorkeling cruise, a helicopter ride, a bike trip down a volcano or just get some local restaurant recommendations - all on site! Check it out at the Maui Sights and Treasures website, Mauivalue.com. If you just want to relax and get a tan, Sugar Beach offers miles of sandy beach perfect for swimming and snorkeling, a hot tub and heated swimming pool, a putting green, and lots of poolside and oceanfront lounge chairs.
Sugar Beach #228 is simply the perfect place to stay for your time in paradise. To top it off, there are no annoying resort fees and the parking is free. I also provide you with complimentary Netflix in case you feel like an oceanfront movie night!
Sugar Beach #228 - You're going to love it!

Paradise everyday! Can't wait to return!

The condo was perfect for a couple staying in Maui. We spent most of the time on the Lenai, hot tub, pool, and grounds, venturing out once a day to eat out, and/or hit a tourist gem. ( whale watching, Road to Hana, snorkeling, etc) The weather was comfortable every day. The winds picked up most days in the afternoons, but they were not a problem. The condo was also stocked with everything you need for a day on the beach: chairs, umbrella, towels, cooler, snorkeling gear. Karen's communication was above and beyond, answering all the questions I had, and giving good advice about things to do, and places to eat. The bed was comfortable. It would have been nice to have a TV in the bedroom, but we really didn't end up watching much TV anyway. Down to the smallest detail, everything is the condo was well thought out for a couple visiting Sugar Beach. There were a few things in walking distance from the condo, but I would recommend planning on a rental car, in order to get to more places. There is a tiny bar/ restaurant on the property, and also a Hawaiian-shaved ice place, and an ABC store (convenience store/touristy stuff) within walking distance. To get anywhere else, you will need transportation. We had a wonderful vacation! Thanks Karen!

Beautiful beach view, perfect for breakfast in the AM.

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.

Amazing View

This was our first time to Hawaii and we picked a great place to stay - right on the water, stocked with everything you could need and very convenient to local restaurants, with plenty of options for using Uber for transportation. We loved the lanai and had a great time at Dina's Sandwitch shop on the property. There was plenty of excellent beaches to walk and watch all the boats on the water. We would definitely stay here again!

Great Sugar Beach Condo!

My husband and I just loved this condo and the property amenities, like the pool and hot tub. We were also impressed with how well the condo and overall property are maintained. The view from the lanai was fantastic, perfect for morning coffee and a sunset drink. The location is perfect for exploring the island. Communication with Karen was a delight - she was responsive, helpful, and answered a lot of our questions before we could even ask. We'll definitely keep this lovely condo in mind for future visits to Maui!

The Absolute Best!

Not enough flattering words exist to adequately describe the apartment and service Karen provided my wife and I during our two week stay in Maui. This was, hands down, one of the top vacations of our lives, and owe so much of it to Karen's incredibly well-appointed home-away-from-home. The bed is so comfortable. The shower has great water pressure. And, of course, the sunset view from the lanai is stunning. The location is also so convenient. As a host, you can tell immediately that Karen cares about your vacation. She's responsive, knowledgeable, and encouraging. She gives you everything you need to feel like you are settled and secure. If you are staying in Maui, THIS is where you want to stay. Seriously.

Beachfront Perfection

We chose this property, because it had all the elements I was looking for: a beachfront condo with parking and a good central location. This property was perfect and I’m so happy we chose it. Firstly, you walk into the apartment and the sliding glass door opens up to a gorgeous beachside view of the ocean. This unit is on the second floor and I was wonderfully surprised to see how close we were to the beach- I’d say 100 feet or so away. We had breakfast on the lanai every morning, listening to the waves crash, and watched beautiful sunsets every evening. The condo was very clean and well appointed with all the conveniences you would hope for. Also, the condo comes with some beach supplies like beach chairs and boogie boards, which was a pleasant bonus. The check-in process was very easy as Karen provided us with excellent, clear instructions before our arrival. It is also evident that she puts a lot of care and thought into making the people who stay at her property feel at home (if your home was on a beautiful sandy beach in Maui!). The location of this property couldn’t have been better. It was centrally located to all the places we wanted to explore: 30 minutes to West Maui, 17 minutes to Paia for the start of the Road to Hana, and just over 1 hr to the summit of Haleakela. I would absolutely stay here again. The only downside to the whole experience here, and there is only one, is that we had to leave. It was a wonderful home base for an amazing Maui vacation.

You’ll want to stay here!!!

Karen’s place in Kihei (sugar beach resort) was the best VRBO we have stayed at. It had everything! Plenty of toiletries, snorkel gear, beach chairs and umbrella. The kitchen was fully stocked with cutlery and plates/cups. Most importantly, the bed was extremely comfortable. We have already looked into buying the same mattress topper. The views are marvelous and it takes about 10 seconds to walk to the beach. Lastly, Karen was extremely communicative when we had a few questions. And the check in process was a breeze. We would give it more than 5 stars if possible, and we highly recommend this VRBO to any travelers coming to Maui!

About the host

Hosted by Karen Wielick

Host profile image
I purchased this condo in 2013, after years of staying at Sugar Beach Resort, and dreaming of owning a place located on the best beach on Maui.
I currently divide my time between the Beaches of Maui and the shores of the Columbia River in Chelan, WA. Blessed😎🌴

Why they chose this property

The first time I came to Sugar Beach was for my honeymoon 30 years ago. When I walked through the door that very first time, it felt like home. Every time I returned to Maui, I always stayed at Sugar Beach. I am delighted to share it with you, and hope you make as many amazing memories as my family and I have made.
