Host was great and the location is awesome!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Sugar Beach is a great central location for exploring the island, food and shopping nearby, while providing a quiet beach. Condo was clean, great view albeit a little tired

Great location with a wonderful view but not well maintained. The carpet needs to be replaced, several doors have chips in them, the carpeting on the lanai has a good size burn hole and the living room chairs need to be repaired or better updated. The coolers were dirty and the large one was covered in sand on the outside. Not a good value for the money. We have stayed at other units in the complex, that were better maintained and much nicer.

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 loved staying here!!!!! The lani is amazing, huge! Great for early morning breakfasts and watching the waves come in! The location is perfect! Very central to everything on the island! We will defiantly be back for another stay, hopefully very soon!!!!! ?
