OWNER HOST. Maui's BEST- DIRECT OCEAN FRONT 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!

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!

Excellent experience and highly recommended!

We truly enjoyed our stay at Karen’s place and highly recommend staying here. It is very conveniently located and easy to get to sites around the island. She is an excellent host and goes above and beyond to make sure you have what you need and communicated very clearly and in a timely manner. We liked that the unit was on the 2nd floor as it allows you to avoid the elevator and gets you high enough for a great view. It’s extremely close to the water and the sunsets were amazing. The complex itself is smaller, very well maintained, and wasn’t overcrowded like the big resorts. The whales were very active this time of year and we observed them offshore through binoculars (which are provided) and even some closer up (within 100-200 yards from shore). There was also so much provided to make the stay easy and enjoyable (beach chairs, cooler, snorkeling gear, beach towels, kitchen well-stocked, etc.). The only thing to note is the water clarity in this area may not be that great for snorkeling depending on the time of year and winds. However, it’s just a short drive to some of the best snorkeling in Maui. I’m a tough critic and expect rentals with a 5-star rating to live up to the hype and Karen’s place definitely delivered a wonderful experience.

A Clean, Comfortable, Conveniently located, Peaceful Piece of Paradise

It was our first visit to the Hawaiian Islands and we chose Maui because so many friends had said it was their favorite Island. Of course we wanted to see all the sites Maui has to offer, sunrise on Haleakala, the road to Hana, First Friday in Wailuku, the beaches of Wailea, the Old Lahaina Luau, the beach walk at Kaanapali, etc. Every time we grabbed the map to plan the next excursion, Sugar Beach Resort seemed to be part way there. Karen and Glenn's condo is very well equipped and very well maintained, with a nice pool, good sized Jacuzzi and a stretch of beach that goes on for miles in either direction. Sugar beach resort also has an on-site tour shop where you can rent snorkel gear, stand up paddle and body boards. The great gals there were also super helpful and knowledgeable in booking various tours and activities. There's also a souvenir/clothing store, a formal clothing rental facility for folks planning weddings, etc., a registered massage therapist (who were awesome at helping get the kinks out after all the walking, swimming and jogs along the beach we did) and a fun little bar and sandwich shop, all right on-site. On our last day, as we walked along the beach walk in front of the 4 and 5 star hotels in Kaanapali, my wife and I agreed that for our tastes, never mind costing half the price, we'd far prefer our peaceful, comfortable condo 228 at Sugar beach. The only significant advantage we'd concede to the high end hotels, was not having to drive a few miles if you wanted to go out for dinner. Of course with our full sized fridge and nicely equipped kitchen we had the advantage of dinner on our beachfront balcony, watching the sun set over the Pacific! Which of course we did :) Yes, that's a 2 strong thumbs up endorsement for Unit 228 at Sugar Beach Resort on Maui.

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!

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.
