Welcome to Sugar Beach Resort Penthouse 28. Our condo was completely remodeled in September, 2019 including a new kitchen and bathroom, new flooring, and newly textured and painted walls throughout. We installed new cabinets, new quartz countertops, new stainless appliances, and decorated the condo with all new quality and comfortable furniture including a sleeper sofa in the living room with an upgraded mattress. There is a new king size bed and mattress in the bedroom, new large smart flatscreen tv in living room, and new JBL Bluetooth speaker for music.
PH28 is a very private top floor direct oceanfront condo. Our condo is designed such that you have total privacy from the neighbors on either side - even on the balcony. Your direct ocean view is nothing but the beach and endless ocean!! The posted photos of the view were taken by me from our balcony. That is the actual view.
Our condo also has central air conditioning which is rare for maui condos - keep the inside at whatever temperature makes you the most comfortable. The condo is tastefully equipped with everything you will need including boogie boards, beach umbrella, beach towels, beach chairs etc.
The complex has elevators for easy access from the condo to the beach and beautiful oceanfront pool, spa, and BBQs. The grounds are manicured and the grass leads you right to be beach, only steps away. There is an activities booking company in the lobby for you to take advantage of Maui's sights and excursions, or just relax all week and do nothing.
Sugar Beach is conveniently located on the west side of Maui. It is approximately 15 minutes from the airport (and Costco!), 15-20 minutes north of Wailea and 30 minutes south of Kaanapali and Lahaina.
Free parking including covered parking and no resort fees or hidden fees. Finally, please note Sugar Beach Resort closes their pool the second week of September each year for annual maintenance. Please inquire about discounted rates for this week....

Amaaaazing location, both ocean view and central to the island. Not isolated but away from the resort crowds. I wondered if the waves could be heard at night in the bedroom, and yes! They can!
Host and local property manager responded quickly to any questions. It was fun to watch the long boat paddlers race from our lanai.
We would have paid 3xs this amount at a resort for a lesser view. Very happy that we chose to stay here.

We enjoyed our stay very much. The view from the balcony is wonderful and is just as it appeared in the photos. We appreciated the modern, yet calm vibe of the space. The updated kitchen was fully equipped with, and we prepared a number of meals in it. The bed was comfortable. We were pleased to find beach chairs and coolers available for our use. The location was central for all of our day trips. We would definitely stay here again. The owner was helpful, flexible, and quick to respond to inquiries.

We love the Island of Maui but had not previously stayed in Kihei. We found this unit the perfect introduction for us to the area. Located conveniently with quick and direct access to Highway 311, S. Kihei Road, or Highway 310, providing quick and simple navigation to anywhere we needed to go. There are many great restaurants, stores and other amenities right off S. Kihei Road, but of course you can travel to other areas easily for additional options.
The view from the 6th floor penthouse was spectacular; not only did we have an unimpeded view of Maalaea Bay, but we were also treated to some whale activity. The resort sits on and has direct access to the beach; a great pool and hot tub that are maintained daily. There were several nights we both walked up and down the beach enjoying the sounds of the waves and seeing all the stars in the sky.
Our unit was comfortable, well cared for, and clearly had been updated somewhat recently. We loved sitting out on the lanai in the evening; enjoying the evening sky and sounds of the waves below.
Kevin was great to work with and very communicative. He worked to ensure our stay was enjoyable. We also found the businesses we frequented clearly grateful for the return of tourism and business.
We would certainly stay in this unit again.

The location of this condo is amazing. Overlooking the water, you could not get any closer. From the balcony, with the provided binoculars, we could see the whales breaching out in the bay. It is also centrally located for driving to Kaanapali, Hana and Haleakala.
The bathroom/bedroom setup is a little wonky as you have to go through the bath to get to the bedroom, but not a huge issue.
We would love to return sometime soon!

1st time staying in Kihei and we really enjoyed it. The private lanai and view were as pictured! The proximity to town and grocery were perfect! We will definitely return:)

Overall the condo was fine. It was updated, it was clean and the host was very responsive. The location of the unit has a very isolated feel because it's on the front of the building and you do not see the other building or other amenities (pool, hot tub, etc.). It's personal preference!
I gave it 4 stars because of the shower- a new shower head is needed so it doesn't spray all over and add to the problem. The shower tile's are a bit moldy and it feels gross using the shower. Not sure if this can be resolved with a deeper cleaning / treatment or if the shower needs to have tiles replaced.
One thing that cannot be helped and I didn't bring into consideration is the overall smell that the beach has. It just stinks constantly because of the preserve to the north. It really is a bummer because you cant be outside enjoying the view because it is so off-putting. However, that isn't something that the host can control so I'm really rating my experience based on the unit itself.

We have been coming to Maui for several years, but never stayed on this side of the island.
The condo was beautiful and well equipped! The kitchen was fully stocked, they provided umbrella's, chairs and beach towels. I think the only item we were not aware of was there are no curtains/blinds on the living room glass patio doors. So our son who slept on the fold out couch was greeted very early every morning with sunshine. Other than this minor item, this was a great place to stay and we would stay here again.
We recommend taking a day drive up Haleakala and checking out the volcano, the winery & lavender farm.
Hana road is always a must! Just make note there is minimal parking at certain waterfall stops so be prepared to wait.
Makena beach is gorgeous! It is about a 20 minute drive from the condo. Not a snorkeling beach due to the wave break. But definitely worth checking out.

The apartment is as described. Check in process was smooth. Plenty of parking space. Location is great and the beach is right outside. U can hear the waves which is amazing.

The views and breeze were wonderful, and the unit was comfortable. The bathroom and bedroom layout is a bit odd, but not a real issue - you’ll be spending your time on the lanai, or on the grounds watching the waves or relaxing near the pool. Great base camp to visit all parts of Maui!
