The condo felt very much like home. The complex is perfect, wonderful pool that never felt crowded, tons of great lawn furniture to lay on both in the pool area and on the beach. The view NEVER gets old. You can sit on the balcony for hours listening to the waves and watching the boaters and others in the ocean. The beach is FANTASTIC for walking and running. Can go over a mile in either direction. Locaton on the island is a perfect starting point to each day.
What a view!!! Can't get any closer to the ocean. Saw many whales from the balcony in the distance - bring binoculars! Clean, great shower with plenty of hot water, very comfy king bed, heated pool & hot tub, amazing central location to more easily reach Haleakala, Hana, the airport, etc. Thanks, Doug!!!
Amazing location! We absolutely would stay here again. The condo is clean and provided all the amenities we needed for a fun and relaxing stay on Maui!
This is a wonderful place to stay. The condo was super clean and had everything we needed. Will definitely try to book it again when we come back. Thanks again
My husband and I had a wonderful time staying in this unit. The view and sunsets were and the condo was very comfortable! Walking distance to Ululanis, Sugar Beach Bakery and ABC store. Would definitely return here!
View was spectacular. Great location. Owner personally checked in on us after fires. Grounds, pool area, beach were well cared for. Would stay there again.
Loved our stay. Close to all the things we love about Maui. Place matches the description. Resort is clean, on the water with a place to rent snorkel gear (great price) and the small sandwich shop/bar is affordable and good quality. We got some great tips from locals. We will stay here on our next trip
We absolutely loved our stay here, it was EXACTLY what we were looking for and will definitely book again. The balcony/lanai view alone is breathtaking. This was centrally located to all of our activities. Highly recommend!!!! 10/10
Beautiful and very appropriate design and finishes. It has a well stocked kitchen, which doesn't always happen in rentals, brings us back again and again.
Oceanfront balcony view of beautiful sunsets. Condo was beautifully decorated and fully equipped. Kihei is a nice area with restaurants, foodtrucks, and grocery nearby. Would definitely stay again!
Nice place! The owner was easy to communicate with as well as the management staff. The check-in process was easy. Great views from the condo. No problems at all.
My husband and I had a wonderful stay here. The photos Doug posted are accurate. Beach view and sunsets on the balcony are incredible. We will definitely share this gem with any friends and family vacationing on Maui.
This is the second time we’ve stayed in Doug’s unit and absolutely loved it! The unit is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The view from the lanai is wonderful and we spent most mornings and evenings out there. The sunsets are gorgeous! Doug is always very responsive and so easy to work with. Management is also helpful. We requested a fan after our first night and they delivered it the same day. We'll definitely stay here again next time we visit Maui.
Great condo in an ideal location. Loved the view including incredible sunsets. Very convenient being able to walk on the beach so easily.
Owner checked in to make sure everything was perfect during our stay. We will definitely return in the future.
Thank you!
The view is amazing and the location of the property is ideal for exploring the entire island. The condo was clean upon arrival and the check-in process was smooth. The kitchen was fully stocked (except oven) and while the bedroom is a little small for two people and suitcases its definitely manageable. The beach chairs and umbrella were in great condition. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to our friends.
Lovely view of the bay with ocean waves and beautiful sunsets while sitting on the balconey. Steps from the beach, owners have 2 beach chairs and umbrella along with towels. So easy to go relax on Sugar Beach! Pool, deli on site. Not far from grocery store to get food for the onsite grill. Bed is very comfortable and water pressure is strong in the shower.
This apartment truly had everything we needed and more. The well-appointed kitchen was a delight, equipped with all the essentials. The view from the balcony was awesome and the sound of the waves soothed us to sleep. We were grateful to have central a/c, including in the bedroom, which appears to be rare in the islands here. It was a great place to stay for our first trip to Maui.
This property is exactly as advertised. Centrally located in Sugar Beach, a 14 minute drive to beautiful Kihei beaches. The condo was well kept and stocked with basics, like oil and seasonings. The owner was responsive and super helpful throughout our stay. One note, the beach is beautiful but you may need water shoes to swim further out, as it gets rocky once you’re past your waist. I’d definitely stay at this location again!
Doug and Starla Sage live in Edmonds Wa. For a time, in our early twenties, we lived on Maui and fell in love with the place. Doug owned a construction consulting firm in Seattle and Starla is retired due to a successful double lung transplant in 2011. We love to travel and spend time in San Luis Obispo, CA, La Conner and the San Juan Islands, WA, as well as Sugar Beach, of course! I volunteer at the UW Lung Transplant Center helping others cope with transplant issues. I also volunteer at my local food bank, and when on Maui, at a homeless soup kitchen, Hale Kau Kau. It is great to get to know the locals through my volunteering. Life is Good and we are very thankful!
We spent a lot of time deciding where to buy on Maui. We love West Maui too, but felt it had become too crowded. South Maui, and specifically north Kihei, is much more relaxed. We love to walk and swim and have access to the many Maui amenities. Sugar Beach is 5 miles long, a tranquil swimming beach and centrally located. It met all our needs. Sugar Beach has air conditioning in the units, whereas most places do not. It is nice to have that option, at times it can get pretty hot. I also liked that it has a hot tub and lovely grounds. Many guests return year after year. So much to do, so little time. You have to come back!
Doug wanted to upgrade the condo, and while I was waiting for my transplant, he hired a well known Seattle architect to add something special to the place. I was a bit worried as I didn't have the energy to give any input. So, when I saw it after the remodel, I was blown away! Isn't it nice to walk into something you didn't expect and be thrilled?! We're sure you'll be thrilled too!
