Sugar Beach Maui Direct Oceanfront with Lanai, Sunset + Whale Views
DIRECT OCEANFRONT ON MAUI'S SUGAR BEACH
Wake to the sound of the Pacific just beyond your private lanai at our beautifully renovated one-bedroom condo at Sugar Beach Resort. This is true oceanfront living - miles of sandy beach just outside, sweeping water, sunset and whale views, central A/C, a California King bed, a fully equipped kitchen, high-speed Wifi, remote working desk space, in-unit washer/dryer, and everything you need for a comfortable Maui stay.
Morning coffee and evening sunsets are even better when you're spotting humpback whales directly from our lanai during Maui's winter whale season. From January through March, we see whales offshore almost every day. We provide binoculars, although once you learn to recognize the distinctive puff of a whale's blow, you'll often spot them with the naked eye.
THE CONDO
Our third-floor oceanfront condo has been completely redesigned with modern furnishings, new flooring and lighting, central air conditioning, and comfortable spaces for relaxing after a day on Maui.
The bedroom features a comfortable California King bed, quality pillows and its own remote working desk, track lighting and high-speed 170+ mbs Wi-Fi connection. The living area includes a 55-inch Smart TV and Sonos sound system, with the ocean just beyond the lanai.
The fully equipped kitchen is designed for guests who actually enjoy cooking, with a granite slab countertop, a glass cooktop, stainless-steel appliances, cookware, air fryer, toaster oven, griddle, kitchen essentials and spices - plus an ocean view while you prepare meals.
You'll also have the convenience of an in-unit washer and dryer.

We loved having you stay with us at Sugar Beach 331 for the whole month of February! We're delighted you had a wonderful stay and amazing sunsets every evening in your beach home away from home. Hope to see you next year. Mahalo, Amy
Excellent property! Would definitely stay again. Good central location, and excellent beach access. The bathroom is open in the bedroom, so definitely need to have bathroom etiquette fyi. Overall great property.

Aloha Angela, Delighted you enjoyed our Sugar Beach condo and especially the central location and excellent--directly in front--Sugar Beach access. We'd love to have you stay with us again.
Mahalo, Amy
Overall was a good property with a great view! Right on the beach! The lanai is definitely the best part! Great place for a getaway. Kihei is central to the island and a good location for exploring all the island has to offer with this resort being on the far end going towards Lahaina. We had a wonderful time and the concierge was awesome!
This place was great. It was not in the middle of the hustle and bustle. It was quiet and relaxing. Great location to get to places. Would highly recommend.
We enjoyed the beautiful view and the proximity to several beaches. The property and the grounds are clean and well maintained. The condo was extremely well stocked and quiet. We definitely recommend SB331:)
My husband and I stayed here for a wonderful 8 nights. This condo did not disappoint. The view and location are perfect. The location is very central to all the must do activities on Maui. The condo is well stocked with essentials and extras like beach chairs and snorkeling gear. We will be back for sure!
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and were amazed at all of the amenities and extras. Only suggestions would be to add blackout curtains and better/softer pillows. Host Marco was a pleasure to meet and converse with.

Aloha JD, Thanks so much for your 5 star review and your suggestions. So glad you met our wonderful on-island host Marco--he's the best! We have bought new king-size pillows to respond to your suggestion and have received thumbs up on them from guests. We'd love to have you stay with us again. Mahalo, Amy
Amy is definitely a superhost and the property is at an amazing location. It felt like being on a private beach, waking up everyday to the sound of waves. Amy is super helpful and understands your needs and tried to help me in every way she could. I would highly recommend this place.
The condo is recently renovated, fully equipped and generally in fantastic shape . The only negative is the layout of the condo in that the toilet is part of the bedroom, i.e. no privacy?!

Aloha Casper, We're glad that you found our Sugar Beach condo in fantastic shape. Thanks for noting that our brighter and more spacious modern design bathroom layout was not to your liking. Our designer redid all the walls, ceilings, doors--putting a full wall tiled partition between the enlarged bathroom shower area and bedroom, but leaving the sink area open. Upon request, we will provide curtains & a curtain rod to close off the sink area from the bedroom.
Mahalo, Amy
Condo offered all amenities and great lanai directly on the ocean. Kitchen was well equipped although a standard oven would be nice as only option was a microwave with convection. Internet was spotty which made the Tv streaming impossible most of the time. Great shower and king bed. Would stay here again
This is our 2nd time at this condo although we have been in different ones at Sugar Beach and we enjoy this one the most. Amy and Larisa are very easy to get in touch with to help with any questions or problems. Well stocked and clean. Lovely beach to walk and close to everything.

Thanks much Gerald. We're really happy you enjoyed it. Always a pleasure having you stay in our unit.
The condo is newly remodeled and is beautiful! Perfect for 2 people. We ate breakfast on the lanai every morning and could see whales spouting in the distance. The condo was very well equipped with everything you could possibly need. The location is great. We actually went and got dinner a couple of nights at the local food trucks which was a short drive away and came back and ate on the lanai. We would definitely stay again!

Thanks for the five-star review, David. We're so pleased you enjoyed the condo and were able to watch whales spouting from the lanai. It's such a great experience. Thank you for choosing to stay with us, and hope to see you again in the future.
