About this property

Beachfront GEM of a Condo on Sugar Beach!

Kealia 202 offers FRONT ROW CENTER seats for whale watching, Maui sunsets, outriggers and more! It's a spectacular view and it's everywhere you look in this condo! If you want a view AND the best walking beach in Maui, this condo is perfect for you!

The condo is completely furnished Hawaiian style, with rattan, teak and other local materials. It's also fully supplied with everything you may need for cooking - and you couldn't ask for a better table out on the lanai!
This one-bedroom, one-bath is perfect for solo travelers, couples and small families. It has a queen size day bed as well as a comfy king in the bedroom which is perfect for the little ones.

You're just steps away from one of the best beaches on Maui, good for swimming, snorkeling, diving, paddle boarding or just sunbathing with a good book. The Maui Canoe Club is right next door and there are visitor paddles every week. You can take a great morning or sunset beach walk along Sugar Beach and in the winter months you'll see humpback whales blowing and breaching offshore!

Kealia Condominiums is the furthest north of the resorts on Sugar Beach and centrally located for easy access to the airport, upcountry and Wailea. The building and grounds have a great retro feel and there's a nice mix of residents and visitors. There's an elevator for easy access to both condo and parking garage.

Special note for GOLFERS: The owner is a member and can make arrangements for you to golf on the private King Kamehameha Golf Course.

Kealia Condominiums is a non-smoking property and as such there is no smoking allowed in the condo, on the lanai or in the shared areas such as the pool.

Kihei paradise

This condo is just the right size for a family of 3. It just steps off of sugar beach. It is perfectly centered within other beaches and places to eat, no more than 20 minutes from anything. Loved that it had a washer and dryer as well as beach towels and beach toys and chairs. Owners were very easy to work with, highly recommend this property.

Visit to Paradise

Check-in and info about condo and surrounding area was outstanding. Communication and response from owners with a question was quick. Condo is older and a little dated, but the view, and the sound of the ocean waves from the condo is incredible. Condo is located ideally on the island for easy access to the rest of the island. Only recommendation I would make is to replace couch and get a larger tv. Thats just personal preference. Thank you for a wonderful vacation trip.

LOVED IT

My husband and I celebrated our belated honeymoon here, and we were so pleased with everything. The view from the lanai was breathtaking, with the sunset behind the mountains visible every night. We enjoyed lounging in the chairs in front of the property by the beach. Really great location relative to Lahaina for market shopping and several great places for meals and snacks! (We highly recommend Kihei Caffe and Monkeypod, they were our favorite) We also took advantage of playing golf at King Kamehameha Golf Club— it was breathtaking! One note of caution: when using the parking garage, cars higher than 6 feet won’t fit, so keep that in mind when choosing a rental vehicle! We parked on the large shoulder next to the condo, and we had no problems! We would recommend this gem to everyone hoping to enjoy a stay in a relaxing neighborhood with access to each activity Maui has to offer!!!

Nice, but aged unit

Nice location on sugar beach. The grounds are beautiful. The unit is old. You have to plug in ceiling fans to turn them on. In the master bedroom you have to climb over a raised double bed to close the window and blinds. The pool is not heated and there is no hot tub. There is no pest control at the room. There were ants and lots of flying bugs. It was rainy and the bugs were intense, For all the added fees it’s not worth the cost. I recommend going further towards town and getting a nicer unit.

Great view and location!

The Pros…amazing view…. Right on the beach…private lanai, well stocked kitchen and beach supplies , well kept landscaping…daily pool cleaning, nice free underground parking ( keeps car cool) , not a very big complex, friendly people, although its in Kihei it’s away from the craziness of “Waiki-Kihei”, on a great walking beach , clean, had everything you would need, the owners are responsive and nice. The ( minor) Cons…it is an older property(built in the 1970-80’s??) so the unit and complex is a bit outdated ( although the kitchen seemed to be remodeled recently), it is on a fairly busy street so you might hear some traffic if the windows and doors are open, but it’s not bad since you mostly hear the waves anyway , it can get very windy but that is good since it cools the unit without a/c., in the bedroom there’s an extra bed in a nook which is big enough for 3rd adult but would be good only for a young child because of privacy issues, the couch in the living room would not accommodate a 3rd person… not a big deal but a sofa bed in living room would be better?? But the unit is probably better for two adults anyway, it’s above the pool area so you might hear some noise but for the most part there are mostly older people who are here ..did not see any kids so the pool was quiet. All in all …we enjoyed our stay! And would recommend it!

Million Dollar View!!

What a wonderful weeklong stay we had at the end of November. What we loved most was the view, it is absolutely gorgeous. This condo was very clean and had all the amenities we needed. The bed was very comfortable, and we loved the pillows. Let's just say we slept like babies with the sound of the ocean coming thru the open windows. We only had to use the air conditioner one time as the trade winds are amazing, just open the front and back door and the breeze will keep you cool. The condo is very well stocked with all you need. There are a couple of coolers to use on day trips in the bedroom closet, lawn chairs, boogie boards, snorkel equipment stored under the spare bed. If you do need to buy anything there is a store call ABC store just 1/2 mile down the road or beach if you walk, and their prices are much less than any place else. Also, there is any amazing bakery next door, you have to try the banana bread. The fresh fruit on the island is so delicious and if you have never tried an apple banana, you must, but it will ruin you for ever wanting to eat a regular banana. The beach is only downstairs and steps from the condo. We found this to be a very quiet and relaxed place to stay. We never heard any of the neighbors when we were inside. The pool looked nice, but we didn't use it as we swam in the ocean. Denise and Tony were great to work with, always getting back to us quickly with any questions we had.

Great stay in Kihei

This was our first time staying in Kihei and we enjoyed every moment! The communication with the owners was excellent and they answered all of our questions accurately. The building is older but it is well kept and the grounds are just lovely. The condo overlooks the ocean and the sunsets are just amazing! The kitchen was well-appointed kitchen and we were able to cook several meals throughout our stay. We also used the grill outside in the common area to make burgers one evening. The king-size bed is super comfy and there was plenty of storage for our clothes, snorkel equipment and suitcases. There is an air conditioner in the living room/kitchen area but with the trade winds and cross winds, we only turned it on once for a few hours during our entire stay. The bathroom was big enough for 2 people to move around in. There was always plenty of hot water and good water pressure too. It was convenient to have a washer and dryer in the unit so we could wash a load of clothes during our stay. I felt the condo complex was geared more towards couples, low key friends or older people, which was fantastic for us! There is a nice, small pool if you're not much of a beach-goer. We were very pleased that there were "adult hours" between 12-1pm and 5-9pm since the condo is in close proximity to the pool. People were very respectful of keeping their voices down and we never heard music blaring. If you're looking for a nice, quiet place to stay that's close to the beach, this is for you.

Can’t wait to return - beautiful stay at Sugar Beach!

This is such a lucky find in a beautiful spot!! We absolutely loved our stay here and the hosts were so helpful to anything we needed. It was easy to have lots of room to park then the condo was the perfect place to stay with lots of room for the two of us to enjoy our time. Spending hours on the lanai and listening to the ocean and enjoying reading, whale watching, or the birds flying by. The location is perfect in a quiet spot where the people are all really friendly. The area is really well maintained and quiet. We loved being able to walk out directly to the beautiful beach and spend time walking numerous times a day. Plus sitting on the beach in the awesome provided chairs from the hosts and swimming in the ocean :). The Sugar Beach Bakery which is less than a 10 minute walk down the beach is so good and great way to stop the morning. We loved the location as it was an easy drive to any place on the island. We loved this area and are thankful that we got to stay here! We will definitely be back again, mahalo! :)

This was my first trip to Maui with my mom. It was absolutely beautiful!! I loved being right on the beach. Morning walks were perfect! We didn’t have a rental car, but the bus got us all over. We hired a tour guide & had an amazing time taking a trip to Hana & a sunset trip to the volcano. Absolutely breathtaking! Can’t wait to visit again.

5 Nights was great, but we easily could stay a month! The condo has old school charm, and everything you could need for an excellent stay. The sandwich shop and pub next door was the perfect go-to, and it’s a quick walk down the beach to the ABC and farmer’s market, so that was convenient.

Amazing Views!

It's hard to beat the ocean view of this condo. The sunsets were beautiful and we could easily see whales breaching from the patio. The condo is conveniently located in a less busy side of town and is walking distance to some yummy local spots. Check-in/check-out are a breeze and the condo includes a private spot in a secured on-site garage, which we were really happy about. The condo is pretty close to how it is advertised in the listing and I agree with some other reviewers that it feels a bit dated but if you are in Maui, you hopefully won't be spending too much time in there anyway. We gave 4 out of 5 stars due to the cleanliness. In all fairness, the host gave us a solution for the issue we had and that made a big difference. Really, a good deep clean in this condo would make a huge difference for other guests. All in all, we enjoyed our time in this condo and our time in Maui!

Location, location, location!

If you want beautiful ocean views from your room and to be lulled asleep by the sound of waves, this is the place for you. The beach was very walkable (and many places in Maui it isn't). Opening windows allowed for trade winds to cool the place down, and the kitchen was fully equipped with plenty of dishes and glassware. Photos accurately depict the interior... Space is perfect for two adults or a couple with one child. A welcome basket was a nice touch, and the owners promptly addressed any questions I had. And the location.... just great!

This condo is in a wonderful location with amazing sunset views, cross breeze, and never ending ocean sounds. Daily walks on the beach, to a farmers market, ABC store & a delicious bakery. Comfortable bedding and a perfect set up for family of 3. Kitchen and laundry in condo was useful and convenient. Condo grounds are well kept. Parking spot assigned in parking garage was a plus.

About the host

Hosted by Denise Frey

Host profile image
Tony Hitchman and Denise Frey are partners in life and first visited Maui together in December 2019. They fell in love with Kihei and Sugar Beach on that visit and purchased their first condo in February 2020! Now they own both #202 and #302 at Kealia on Sugar Beach and share their beautiful vacation homes with others.
They especially enjoy when their children and grandchildren can visit and having both condos can make that even better!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this property at first sight. The view and easy access to the beach is a top priority for us and when we saw Kealia Resort we knew this was the place for us. There's a lack of pretension here that makes everyone more comfortable and they're able to relax and enjoy more than in larger resorts.

What makes this property unique

We live in this property part-time and therefore we care for it more personally than management companies.
