“Peaceful and relaxing” We had a relaxing stay at this condo. The pool and common areas were well kept and our neighbors were polite and friendly. We did not use the beach access here but did drive to nearby beaches. The condo had some upgrades such as the large kitchen island. In fact, the openness of the kitchen to the living room was very nice. We also enjoyed the lanai for eating meals and for whale watching. Watching the sunset from the property was a favorite way to end the day. The amenities were improving with the addition of new washers and driers in the community laundry room. Some may find this condo to be more rustic than luxurious but it met our expectations within the price point as cozy and a nice place to stay after adventure filled days. A big plus is that this condo community seems to attract a very considerate group of people. It was peaceful and relaxing to stay here and our overall impression was favorable.

“Kinda Beach House” The house was well supplied for our group of eight. Everyone enjoyed the yard and access to the ocean. The turtles were a special hit. We appreciated the spacious lanai. Great sunset views. Neighborhood and road were busy, but not intrusively so. The downstairs bathroom off the kitchen could use a better privacy curtain.

“Great for family vacation. Awesome setting.” I was worried about this Beach House before renting but we would up loving it. The reviews seemed to range. There are some comments that the beach in front of house is small, yes the beach is small but it is also quite perfect for snorkeling, looking at or a quick dip. It was great sleeping to the sound of the ocean, the view is so nice you don't want to stop looking at it. One important note which it is hard to discover unless you stay here. The beach in front of the house is NOT your personal private beach, Visitors mostly locals and other renters visit the beach pretty much every day via a public walkway. There is a short wall separating you from the beach which is nice. It was never crowded it just has probably at most I have seen 10 people. The only issue with this is that it feels like your beach, but people keep coming to it. I got over this after the first day. The mornings and evenings the beach was usually empty and all to ourselves. The turtles come near you non stop at this beach which is really cool. The House upstairs is basically one giant room with 2 bathrooms, the rooms separate via closable walls which was convenient for us and well designed. The downstairs has a living area, kitchen and another bathroom. For our family this house was perfect. Something to note: There were lizards and occasional insects which appeared to be some kind of roach, however this did not bother us as a tropical hawaiian roach is not nearly as bad as a NYC roach. The furnishings of the house are in good shape, there are no frills in this house it is basically an older beach cottage. The house had beach gear and snorkeling gear available which was great. If you rent it, we left one of our little girls life jackets so you may see that there LOL. The place was clean with clean linens and towels. There is a property manager who lives on the grounds. She was very helpful. I would stay here again and would also recommend this house. I attached 3 pics. One is of the beach, There is sand you just can't see from the shot, two is from one of the rocks outside - house is on right, and 3 is of the sunset. Side note if you don't know anything about big island: Kona is where you want to be on the Big Island if you like nice weather. I did not realize there are basically two sides to stay. Kona side and Hilo Side. Luckily this is on Kona side. Hilo has a bunch of stuff to do and hikes, waterfalls, museums etc, also closer to volcanos but its the "rainy" side. I would rather be on the sunny side and travel to the other side.

“Luxurious, well maintained, quiet "Paradise Beach Condo".” Firstly, the location was within walking distance to three great beaches, local shopping and great restaurants. This newly renovated condo was a "Home away from Home" with a "Wow" factor. The grounds were well maniquered with a lovely pool, hot tub and BBQ. Every detail in beach accessory from boogie boards, to snorkling gear to beach chairs etc. was at your disposal for a great day at the beach. We will come back again!!!

“Great stay” Spent 2 weeks here and was not disappointed at all, it met all of our needs. The condo was very clean, kitchen we'll stocked, and most important was the bed was very comfortable. There was never any noise problems day or night. It's in a great location, short walk to lots of restaurants, gift shops, and. Of course the ice cream shop. Condo us also furnished with snorkel gear, beach chairs, and mats. If you stay here you will not be disappointed.

“Every detail taken care of...” We loved the Maui Sands condo, it was completely perfect for us.Every detail was so thoughtfully taken care of that we really didn’t have to worry about a thing. From the provided cooler, beach chairs, and umbrella, to the snorkel gear and ocean shoes. Almost every time it occurred to us that we needed something, we found it in the condo. The complex grounds were so well maintained and quiet. We used the grill one night, as well as the lovely pool. The availability of recycling was very important to us, we really appreciated that. The beds and linens were very comfortable and tasteful. We also really appreciated the Condo Manual – it answered every question we could possibly have. Beautiful place to stay! It's not every morning you get to have coffee while watching the whale show - but that's the norm here. Ryan was also wonderful to work with throughout our whole planning phase, and into the week of our vacation. Very easy to communicate with and helpful.

“Home away from home.” My third time staying at the condo. Love the location right next to the Whaler's Shops, great value and the beautiful beach just a few steps away from your balcony. Every time I call Larry to make my reservations he is very courteous and helpful. Always a great vacation!!!

“This Place Has Everything You're Looking for on Maui” We really enjoyed staying at Maui Kai 806. The setting suns and moons as well as the layout of the unit, and the extremely helpful staff (especially Rowena) made our stay wonderful. We would recommend this place to our closest friends and relatives. It is ideally situated with access to all that Maui has to offer. Close to terrific beaches (snorkeling, sunning, etc.), close enough to beautiful sightseeing around Maui, and access to wonderful Lahaina, this place is simply amazing. It was my first trip to Hawaii and definitely a 5 star stay. This place rocks!

“Great Location and host” Plenty of space for 5 adults and being so close to the beach and shops meant that we could get away from each other whenever we wanted to. We all thoroughly enjoyed our first trip to Maui!

“Paradise!” Our stay in 427 Sugar Beach Resort was awesome! Beautiful, comfortable condo that was very clean and well stocked. Having free long distance to Canada was a real bonus for us, we were able to call home everyday!

“A Maui trip to remember” What a great birthday getaway!!! The condominium, its location and proximity to the beach, and its overall amenities exceeded all of my and my mate’s expectations. I would positively jump at the chance to stay there again. A great place for both relaxation and celebration. So a mahalo nui loa to the renters and to Flip Key for making this holiday one for the ages.
