Relax and enjoy your Maui vacation in our 6th floor Penthouse suite at Sugar Beach Resort. With a location on the southern end of the building, the condo is quiet and private.
The ocean views are stunning, to the south you look down the coastline toward the Kihei and Wailea resort areas, directly in front is the deserted isle of Kaaholawe, and off to the north are the Pali cliffs and the Maalaea Harbor. Of course, the sunsets every night are a magical time.
The spacious double lanai brings the ocean into the living and dining areas of the condo! Open the lanai doors and enjoy the fresh ocean breezes or close the doors and relax in the central air conditioning.
With no one above you and no one to the left, the condo is marvelously quiet and peaceful. You can prepare your meals in the condo or get take out from the little 'Sandwitch' restaurant found on site downstairs, or visit one of the many restaurants found just minutes away in the Kihei/Wailea areas.
There are two master suites, both offering comfortable King size beds. Both have their own private bathrooms. In addition, the couch in the living room pulls out into a queen size bed.
There is a washer/dryer within the condo, and the kitchen is well stocked for meal preparation.
The resort has a secured heated pool area and hot tub, you will receive the code when you check in at the on-site registration desk. Within the complex there is an activities desk to help you make plans to explore the island.
If you are hungry or thirsty, there is a small, but delicious, 'Sandwitch' restaurant/bar just next to the activities center, Maui Sights and Treasures.
There is ample parking in the large open lot and there are two elevators that provide access to all floors. There are even shopping carts near the elevators to help you get your belongings or groceries up to the condo.
Sugar Beach Resort is centrally located in Maui, just about 20 minutes from the airport, only 10 minutes to Kihei and Wailea, and about 40 minutes over to Lahaina town.
The beach in front of the condo stretches for miles in both directions, an early morning walk to check out the tide pools in the Maalaea direction is always a winner for those visitors waking up early with the time difference.
Our Penthouse condo is a lovely relaxing environment to call home while you are visiting the island of Maui.

Penthouse 40 is right on Sugar Beach with an unbelievable view! Swimming in the ocean was easy; the pool and jacuzzi were also nice. The nearby Farmer's Market is a short walk; you can see turtles by the rocks there. A little past Wailea is wonderful snorkeling. The interior of the property was very spacious. The sofa bed in the living room was comfortable. It was like having another bedroom. You cannot beat the view, the location and the space inside of this place. I highly recommend it. The only caveat is the inside needs updating, which we ignored because of that breathtaking lanai, space and the location.

Jean was wonderful to work with, and answered all questions and inquiries about the property, as well as providing maps from the airport to the unit and check-in instructions.
Upon entering the unit, I was struck of course by the view, it is fabulous! The kitchen is well equipped for all types of meals, although a bit enclosed for more than one chef. We enjoyed the privacy of the two-wing configuration of the bedrooms, which were nicely furnished, each with their own private bath. The living and dining rooms are large and also nicely furnished. If you come during whale season, be sure to bring binoculars as these wonderful creatures created a beautiful show for us from our private balcony viewpoint! I should also note that the resort grounds are beautiful, the pool is perfect and offers sunning location either pool or beach side.
My only critique would be a more thorough cleaning of air vents and mildew around the bathroom window. The kitchen appliances are on the older side, while functioning fine, they looked a little grimy. Regardless, I would happily come to this unit again.

PH 40 at the Sugar Beach Resort was everything we'd hoped for. The unit was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. What sets it far and above other accommodations is the incredible double lanai. This was our living area for the week - all of our "at home" meals were enjoyed here and it felt like we were sitting on the beach without the threat of sunburn. Sunsets were spectacular.
Sugar Beach is a wonderful, uncrowded place to lounge and swim in the calm waters. The best shave ice on the island is just a walk down the beach and across South Kihei Road. It's also the most central location to all of the high points on the island.
Jean provided excellent communication and helpful information for our stay. We would love to stay here again in the future; it was the perfect home away from home in paradise.

Our initial reaction to the unit was surprised it is dated. Carpet needs to go and a fresh paint and the place would be top notch. Communication and ease checking in and out was great! Would stay again. Thanks!!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Penthouse 40! The view from the balcony was so amazing. The location can’t be beat!! Away from the noise and commotion of Kihei but an easy drive into Kihei.
Couches and carpets were a bit worn. But comfortable beds. The management team was excellent. We were missing a few cooking utensils and called. They were delivered within an hour! AC worked great in both halves of the condo! Sugar Beach Resort - super clean. Great pool and hot tub. Barbecues were clean and well cared for. Can’t wait to return!

My rating is for the overall experience. I just spent two weeks in PH 40 and the condo is very nice with a wonderful view and plenty of room. The only negatives are that the carpet needs to be replaced with tile, and the sliding door to the lanai is extremely hard to open and close.
Not sure why they call this property a resort. There is no bar or restaurant at the pool, no towel service, and no daily activities planned. Those are standard at most resorts.
My main concern with staying here was that the beach/sand itself was great, but the water was extremely murky and brown. The extreme wind, the entire two weeks, was also a real problem in doing anything on the property or beach, after about noontime. We found ourselves going to the Lahaina side of the island everyday where the beaches are extremely clear and blue and not nearly as windy. Nice place to stay, but I will stay on the other side of the island next time I am in Maui.

We enjoyed our stay so much.
The condo is very spacious for even a family of 5.
My daughter was on the pull out and loved it. She found a comfy foam topper in the closet. The window coverings made it dark enough for her to sleep. Floor Fans were provided as well as towels, coolers, chairs, and some snorkel gear.
Kitchen had everything we need.
I appreciated the carpet after a day of sand.
Comfy beds and king size pillows.
Great outdoor furniture for lounging and eating.
Air conditioning was spot on.
Loved not having anyone to the side or above us.
Perfect location for beach walking and combing in the tide pools to the right of building. Water clarity is not the best, but that is an excuse to explore other beaches. It is WINDY in the afternoons.
I felt like I was staying at a family member’s condo…it was that cozy!
Property was well maintained and clean. Manager called when gates were installed just to make sure we got the codes.
Loved our trip due to this wonderful place. Thank you!
