This was our very first trip to Maui. Our stay at Melinda's condo in Sugar Beach was absolutely the best. What you see in those photos, is exactly what you get. Super clean, comfortable mattress and sofa, and the sofa bed was comfortable too, fully equipped kitchen, 70" TV which we used every evening, boogy boards, beach chairs, pool noodles, cooler bag. The unit was fully equipped and had all the comforts of home. We spent a lot of time on the 2nd floor balcony where the views are just like the photos. Sunsets every night. You get the pool and ocean views and you can actually see whales jumping right from the balcony. The condo had binoculars, first aid kit etc. and Melinda left us a really sweet welcome basket with all kinds of goodies to use while we were there. Sugar beach runs for miles, and I walked that beach everyday. If you like a walking beach, this is the location for you.
During our stay I would say the age group was mainly 55+ and young families. Its a great place for a young family and there is grass for kids to play on too! Sugar beach will appeal to individuals who are looking for a lower key holiday, but yet just a short drive from other activity.
We did whale watching with Captain Steve which was spectacular, and we drove the Road to Hana and also past Hana to the other side of the Island which is very different from the Hana side, with even more breath taking views. Roads are narrow and its a little sketchy at times, but we're so glad we did it.
We attended the Old Lahaina Lu'au in Lahaina, which was so entertaining....strongly recommend them. It really made you feel like you were in Hawaii.
Be sure to check out the the shops on Front Street in Lahaina, as well as the Whalers market in Kaannapali area. Really loved the Whalers Market!!
Overall, a fabulous holiday!! Book with Melinda, you will have no regrets.....its not just an accommodation, but a vacation experience!!
