Nestled along the tranquil Maʻalaea shoreline, our neighborhood offers a peaceful retreat with front-row views of the ocean and Haleakalā. It’s a quiet area that feels worlds away from the crowds—yet everything you need is within easy reach. Stroll to the harbor for snorkeling tours, sunset cruises, or a visit to the Maui Ocean Center. Grab a bite at local favorites like Point Break Pizza or enjoy fresh catch at the waterfront restaurants. Whether you're watching sea turtles from the seawall or exploring nearby beaches, Maʻalaea is the perfect blend of serenity and convenience.

You could easily spend your days unwinding on the beach just steps from the condo, but Maui’s rich landscapes and vibrant communities are best explored with a rental car. That said, if you prefer to go car-free, the Maui Bus and Uber make it easy to get around. Your stay includes one unassigned parking space, and there’s plenty of free street parking nearby. Though we’re tucked away from the usual tourist bustle, our location is surprisingly central—just 15 to 20 minutes from Kahului Airport, Whole Foods, Costco, Target, and Kihei. Iconic destinations like Lahaina and Wailea are about 30 minutes away, while Kaanapali and Napili can be reached in roughly 40.  If you want any recommendations on local car rental options, please contact me.

No parties, no smoking/vaping (designated parking lot area). Guests only as listed in reservation.

Makani A Kai A4 -  Beachfront Walkout 15' to Ocean

My husband and I recently stayed in this unit and it was the perfect fit for us !Right on the beach. It had everything we needed. Centrally located in Maalaea , it’s not far from Kehei & Lahaina. Our trip was two years in the making , due to some misfortunes. But with the help of the Drakes , we were able to make our 50th anniversary trip possible. We actually had the opportunity to meet them during our stay. They really care about their guests and the property. If you’re planning a trip to Maui , book the Sugar Shack!

Sweet Condo!

We had a great time in A4 - SugarShack! On the last night we were enjoying the beach as the sun went down, and we realized we should be paying double the rates, this place is amazing!
