Beach Front Ocean View Penthouse Kealia Resort Condo - Sugar Beach

Aloha and welcome to your oceanfront getaway at Kealia Resort!

This beautifully updated, fully air-conditioned 1-bedroom condo offers stunning views of the ocean, West Maui mountains and tropical gardens, and is just steps from the beach and the oceanfront pool. Bright, open, and modern, the space is thoughtfully designed for your comfort and relaxation. The bedroom features a comfy king bed, flat screen TV, plenty of storage, and a cozy sitting nook with amazing views of both the ocean and the mountains.

Start your mornings with coffee on the lanai while listening to the waves—and during whale season (Dec–May), you can even spot whales right from your seat! The fully equipped kitchen includes all the essentials—plus pantry basics like cooking oil, seasonings, condiments, and more. You'll also have a private washer and dryer with detergent, extra towels, and a Beach chairs, towels, and a cooler—everything you need to head straight to the sand.

Kealia Resort sits beachfront on peaceful Sugar Beach—South Maui’s longest stretch of sand. It’s the last complex on the beach before Maʻalaea, offering a sense of seclusion and serenity that's hard to find. Enjoy a sunset BBQ, read under the shade trees, or take a long, leisurely beach walk just steps from your door.

I maintain a high standard of hospitality and cleanliness—so you can book with confidence. Come experience the magic of Maui, with aloha.

Great ocean watching and perfect location

We really enjoyed our stay at Kealia, especially relaxing on the balcony and watching whales, seals, outriggers, foil surfers etc. We loved walking on the long sandy beach every day too. And the location is perfect to easily get to other parts of Maui

Great condo

We came to Maui for our daughter’s wedding and after a wonderful weekend In Kaanapali we thought staying in a different location on island would be nice. The condo was perfect, loved the view and we were right on the ocean. Lydia was a great host and I would recommend this place to any couple

If you need a centrally located place to stay on Maui without paying resort prices, this is a great option. After a few nights in Wailea, my wife and I stayed here for two nights so that we were near the harbor that our Molokini Crater boat tour departed from (7min away) and so we had quicker access to the west side of the island. It was clean, comfortable, safe, and had great views. It even had with several little things that were a big help mid-trip: beach chairs, laundry pods, and kitchen utensils/plates/cups.The host Lydia was very communicative from booking to check out, providing extensive directions and quick responses that made the stay seamless. Thank you!

Cozy nice stay with great extras

We enjoyed our stay at this apt. We especially appreciated the really nice and helpful gear provided. The snorkeling gear was awesome, the beach chairs and cooler and towels and shopping bags were also super helpful. The travel guide books were super helpful and appreciated. The apt was easy to access and a perfect home base for exploring. It is in a quiet spot, so you have to drive to most restaurants etc.

Wonderful Condo

We were totally pleased with the entire process of booking, checking in, staying, and departure of Lydia's property. The ocean view is spectacular and her condo has a warm, homey feel to it. Our light arrived early and she was even able to get us checked in before the normal time. The full kitchen and washer/dryer were a huge benefit after 10 days on other Hawaiian islands. We definitely can recommend this condo to others looking for Maui accommodations.

It is right on the beach, the views from the balcony and windows are priceless. The Kelia property is a little older but kept up nicely. This condo is nicely decorated, clean, cute, and comfy. Lydia is very responsive and accommodating. We rented a jeep (which we highly recommend if exploring the island) and she gives you a dedicated parking spot! My husband & I had the most amazing vacation in Maui celebrating our anniversary and birthdays. Mahalo

Such a beautiful spot!

We LOVED this spot! The pictures are spot on, we practically lived out on this balcony and on this beach. The location is great and around tons of other beaches and great food spots and shave ice as well. We traveled around to the other beaches but there was kind of no point because this beach was so quiet and private and even shaded in spots do you dont need an umbrella. I swam multiple times here because the waters were so warm and inviting. I've already recommended this condo to multiple friends and family.

Perfect condo for relaxation

Just spent a week at this condo and it was beyond perfect. Right away we felt so comfortable and right at home and never wanted to leave. The condo was super clean and the view was to die for. We loved being able to sit on the balcony and enjoy our morning coffee and also having a perfect view of the sunset every evening. So peaceful. The building was also very quiet and the bed was super comfortable. Would definitely book again next time we visit Maui.
