New!

After having had a less than enjoyable experience in Puerto Rico with renting a condo in Nov. 2012 I was hesitant to embrace our choice in Maui. I love it when I am wrong! We thoroughly enjoyed this unit for fifteen nights and everything about it helped in making our vacation one of our best holidays we have ever had. I love to cook and was impressed with all of the cooking equipment available in the kitchen. If you discover your missing something to cook with in this condo you must be a professional chef. The bed is very roomy and comfortable. The lanai was our favorite place. It is large and we spent many an hour sitting on it overlooking the ocean and watching the whales. We ate most of our meals on it as we could not justify sitting inside with such a superb view. There are no lights to help with eating at night but it but it was easy to make do with a lamp from inside. The condo also had some boogie boards, coolers and beach chairs for use. We found these items very helpful when we were out and about on the island. The owners Debrah and Caron were easy to deal with throughout the planning process and we felt very welcomed before and during our stay. We never had a need to call them when we were there but knowing we could if needed made a big difference for us. My wife and I love to snorkel and we did allot of it all over Maui. However, we found one of the best snorkeling spots within walking distance from the condo. The coral is vivid with colour the fish are plentiful and turtles can be seen as well. I won't tell you exactly where it is as half the fun is finding it on your own but I can guarantee you that when you come across it you will know. Hint. It is not right in front of the complex! The only thing I would include in my review is the wind at Sugar Beach. It is much more pronounced here than in other parts of Keihei. I would not let this deter me from going back especially to this unit but it something that I feel should be highlighted. On exceptionally brisk days (we had two) we just went to another beach and found some other snorkeling spots and adventures.

As part of a family reunion in Sugar Beach, we found this unit exceptional with terrific views of the courtyard including pool area as well as the ocean and beach area. The unit was well stocked with essentials, was clean, easy to get to, and has an owner who is generous with answering questions and making the stay a very positive experience. I would highly recommend this unit to anyone interested in a great place to stay at Sugar Beach.

Wow what a vacation. This was our silver wedding anniversary and our expectations were high. We were not disappointed whatsoever. In fact, Sugar Beach and more specifically, the owners, exceeded our expectations! The description of the property was certainly accurate as were the photos, but you can't quite imagine the smell of the ocean from a photo, you must be there.......drinking it in every morning when you wake up. Just a few of the little things we appreciated about Deborah were: she replied to every e-mail I sent to her in a timely manner. I asked umpteen questions ie. is there a blowdryer and beach towels in the condo? (yes), where would she recommend we go for a rental car, etc., etc. The shower had shampoo and there was laundry soap and dryer sheets. These items may seem small, but when you must go to the store and purchase them, they are an added expense. The in-condo laundry was a dream......such a time saver....not needing to go to a laundramat. This god-send gave us even more opportunity to explore and soak up the sun. Also, Deborah gave us a 'helpful hints' list prior to our arrival, which gave us ideas regarding what to see and do etc. I would highly recommend this property to my friends, relatives and aquaintances. In fact we hope to go back next year. On a side note, this condo is very close to the Kihei Paddling Club. I noticed in the small Kihei newspaper that any visiting breast cancer survivor and her support person could join them for a free paddle. We did not partake......maybe next time.
