Sugar Beach is away from the main part of Kihei. The beach is swimmable and walkable. Given everything is a drive in Maui it was nice to be away from it all. In terms of the unit it is right near the pool. If you have small kids it is great. The issue is also noise from the pool and that since you are on the first floor you can’t keep screens open at night. It has a nice mattress that is comfortable.
It is a fine condo. Nothing wrong with it. I did visit a few others so I think I got jaded as others had views (which this one does not )and better decor. That is nit picking however. The only real complaint is they did not have a coffee maker for local coffee. They had those machines with plastic dispensers. I forget what they are called. I love morning coffee within seconds.
All in all I liked the area and the pool a lot.
