About this property

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.

BEACH DAYS MADE EASY

Sugar Beach is right outside the resort. Walk for miles along the shoreline, swim, snorkel, boogie-board, sunbathe or simply find a quiet stretch of sand.

Beach chairs

Beach towels

Beach umbrella

Cooler and ice packs

Snorkel and fin sets

Boogie boards

Binoculars for whale watching

No need to rent or buy the basics after you arrive.

SUGAR BEACH RESORT

Guests especially enjoy the resort's:

Heated oceanfront pool

Large hot tub

Sauna

Outdoor BBQ grills

Covered poolside dining area

Free parking, including covered and elevated parking spaces

Elevators and grocery carts

On-site dining at Dina's Sandwitch

Massage and private yoga may also be available on-site for an additional fee.

A GREAT CENTRAL MAUI LOCATION

Sugar Beach sits between Kihei and Maʻalaea, making it easy to explore both South and Central Maui.

Take a relaxing beach walk toward the canoe club, ABC Store and Sugar Beach Bakery for fresh malasadas, pastries and morning coffee.

By car or free bus, you're conveniently located for:

Maʻalaea Harbor and the Maui Ocean Center

Kihei restaurants and beaches

Wailea beaches, dining and golf

Costco and shopping in Kahului

Maui's airport

Upcountry Maui, Paʻia and other island adventures

And when you're done exploring, you can come home to one of the best parts of staying here: your own oceanfront lanai, the sunset, and the sound of the waves.

OWNER-CARED-FOR & LOCALLY SUPPORTED

Because we're resident in Maui, we pay close attention to the details that make a stay comfortable. We've been awarded 5-stars for our communication and responsiveness.

Our local co-host and on-island concierge, Larisa, is on-site regularly and available if you need assistance during your stay.

Whether you're coming for a romantic Maui escape, winter whale watching, long walks on Sugar Beach, snorkeling and swimming, or simply time beside the ocean, we'd love to share this very special place with you.

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!

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.

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

Excellent ocean front relaxation

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

Amazing view!

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!
