About this property

Puamana Ocean Front Tropical Paradise

Our townhouse is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected between each guest to ensure that you will be arriving at a safe and clean environment for your vacation.

The unit is by the fire zone and not affected by the fire. The grassy area outside the unit is accessible to the beach. Currently the pool is not available during the rebuild process.

Soft waves sounding in the background, multicolor spectacular sunset, birds singing in the morning, whales breaching from November to April, and plentiful mangoes in the summer are waiting for you in this beautiful townhouse by the ocean in Puamana, Lahaina. A large grass area in front of the condo before the ocean allows a safe area for children playing, sunbathing, and sunset cocktails. Snorkeling, swimming, surfing and whales watching are right in front of the condo. Turtles and fish swim nearby. You can sometime find a monk seal lying on the beach. The beach is sometime sandy, and sometimes rocky depending on the weather. You can just hang in this wonderful paradise or walk 1 ½ miles to the town of Lahaina that is filled with restaurants, shops and entertainment. Kaanapali is only 5 miles north of the condo.

Puamana is a 30-acre gated community with tall palm trees, plumerias, hibiscus, two large mango trees and many tropical flowers. It is a wonderful place to stroll, relax and recreate. We have one tennis court, and three swimming pools, one of which is located on the waterfront.

The condo is artistically designed with many special features. Etch glass door and windows greet you at the front door. The living room is wide open with sliding glass doors facing the ocean. You can rest on the sofa and listen to the ocean sounds or enjoy the views. The lanai has a dining room table where you can enjoy all your meals with views. An out door shower is provided to wash off after swimming.

You can also view the ocean from the kitchen. It is fully equipped with stainless steel appliances, a propane grill, and a large marble island. There are four high stools next to the island where you can entertain while you cook.

The master bedroom is furnished with a king size bed which overlooks the ocean. There is also a desk if you need to work. Sliding door open up to a lanai where you can bath in lounge chairs. Master bath has an open marble shower with a jumbo shower head.

The second bedroom has a queen size bed with a mountain view, and a connecting bathroom.

The third floor has one bedroom with queen size bed overlooking the ocean. The forth bedroom with a mountain view has two twin beds. The third bathroom also has a marble shower with a hand-held shower head.

Relax and recreate in this beautiful townhouse. The owners live down the street and are available for most repairs immediately. We welcome you to our paradise.

Lahaina stay
The view was beautiful. The lawn and surrounding areas kept clean. Super quiet at night, the sliding doors keep it soundproof. Small little things that need to be fixed here and there. Manager said she would have maintenance address the issues. The manager had the television box changed out by midday of the second day we were there, after we reported the problem. The place could use better blinds and a new bar-b-que. Communicating with the manager was very easy and convenient.

Great location and views
Great location, quiet neighborhood and you can't beat the lanai/backyard/beachfront area. We found the place to be clean and it was nice having 4 bathrooms for 8 people. The host was very responsive with all of our pre-trip questions. The following is not meant to be a complaint but simply an observation: Our group is a rather TALL group of people and we found some of the fixtures in the house to be fit for much smaller people, even moreso than "normal". So, just a literal head's up with the ceiling fan in the master bedroom, the 3rd level bedrooms/bathrooms (attic style ceilings) and the hood vent over the stovetop if you are also tall.

Enter at your own risk- Cockroaches, Mice, Broken Toilet
To put it mildly if this was the low point of our trip. For the amount of money we spent per night, I was expecting a high-end vacation villa. What we got was a rental with cockroaches, mice, a broken toilet, moldy bedding and towels, and TV that didn't work. Let's talk about the cockroaches, I understand that near beaches you can get the large cockroaches from outside. We found four in the rental. However, there were also smaller cockroaches which I took pictures of. Terminix came and said that the place, although didn't seem to be infested he absolutely saw a signs of cockroaches. Then there was the mouse that came out to say hi. The bedding and towels were moldy. We had to rewash everything, which cut into vacation time. Having eight people, one a toddler whose potty training, in a house where you now only have three bathrooms instead of four because the toilet runs and floods the kitchen every time you flush it is a major inconvenience. Lastly, the no TV working wouldn't have been an issue if we didn't have said toddler with us. We made it work with tablets but there is a giant TV and she couldn't understand why we couldn't watch her show on the TV. All in all there are a bunch of inconvenient things like no tissues in the house and sweltering heat on the top floor bedrooms. I think the worst part is that the property manager lives in Seattle, so whoever is managing the property locally for her is not doing a good job and she has no visibility.

Family Vacation
The property and community in which it is located is beautiful and well maintained. We loved the convenience of walking out on the lanai and directly to beach access. We are a family of 6 adults and 1 child (14 months old) and enjoyed the ease of the townhouse, yard and beach. The community is quiet and located within walking distance to Lahaina dining/shopping district. This location was a great find for our family.

Stunning location. We watched many beautiful sunsets & star gazing. Short walk to the pools. Short drive to Lahaina. We would have liked more outdoor chairs to use on the 2nd floor lani. The switch plate in main bath over sink needs to be fixed as well as the door to the room but, that is minor compared to the location.

Perfect location with spacious lawn and picturesque view of ocean. Clean, no roaches, spiders, ants or vermin. Comfortable beds and linen. Hot water. Nice family space. Big refrigerator. Lots of fry pans and pots, cookie sheets. Needs a bigger baking pan. (We celebrated several birthdays.) Working oven. Working gas grill. Sand toys, games. Big outdoor table we enjoyed breakfast and dinner at. Multiple pool access in quiet community. Short walk to Lahaina. Quick drive to shopping. I would love to come back here.

Simply stunning
This property was amazing! A family vacation of 8 adults (4 couples) filled the space without feeling cramped. The lanai and it’s view are simply stunning. And the stackable sliding lanai doors brilliantly create an even larger living space. The listing photos do not showcase just how beautiful this condo is. I was expecting a bit more of a dated feel, so I was pleasantly surprised when we arrived. The condo is comfortably laid out on 3 floors with a smart and creative design that doesn’t feel cramped or like your constantly walking up stairs. The property is meticulously manicured. Picture perfect for all those sunset photos! Diane was a wonderful host. Thanks!!

Great location
Location was great. Property not well maintained. Would have opened windows more but screens were gone or ripped where bugs came in at night. Needs an update on bed in second floor room. Very small showers. We took off our shoes before entering house but kept socks on. MISTAKE! Two people fell down the wood steps and one fractured his foot. All on the first day. Range dials in kitchen unreadable and light bulbs burned out in house. Hard to figure light switches. Also blinds in bathroom had large hole in them. Took garbage put every night but still saw two large roaches. Would have been nice to get instructions on TV. Said no connection when we tried it. Disappointed for the amount that was charged per night. Glad we were out most of the time

Paradise Found * Beautiful views * Great space
This was a beautiful condo, with amazing views and plenty of space. We could not have picked a better condo for our family of 7 (18-53 years old). Everyone had their own space, room acs cooled each room enough (close those bedroom doors!), gathering space downstairs was big enough for all to hang out. Beach access literally steps away from our back door made morning and evening strolls an everyday activity. Whales, whales, whales, bring your binoculars. We could hear some of the whale watching cruisers as they shouted with joy watching whales breach and slap the water. Things to note: Unit is almost to the end of the complex, which offers an immense amount of privacy, but walking to Front Street is a hike (we drove). There are a few cosmetic and wear-and-tear issues, but nothing deal-breaking. A few noticeable past leaks in the ceiling that have not yet been repaired, molding and baseboards could use touchup/repair, could use new cushions at outdoor chairs/benches and could benefit from a nicer lounger for downstairs lanai. Be aware there are no bedrooms on first level, so everyone needs to be able to navigate stairs. We couldn't figure out how to get satellite tv to work, but didn't bother us--caught the important March Madness games on our computer/phones. Communication with owner was good as I had a few questions early on during booking and trip planning. She was responsive and helpful. This was a great home base for us as some went on adventures, some just hung out at condo soaking up the sun, sounds and sea smell. The outstanding views and non-mega-hotel-peacefulness was worth the price here! Mahalo!

Amazing View, Condo needs some TLC
First off, overall we enjoyed our stay, and for the price, would probably book again. The location and views simply can't be beat! We truly loved it! Overall, the condo itself was nice. The floorplan worked for our family. The kitchen was nice, except that the vent hood was a bit in the way (heads were bumped) & the faucet was a real bummer (needs a flexible spray head). The furniture was just OK. Everything could use some updating (including the mattresses), but was overall comfortable and functioned well. Now for the bad stuff: The biggest problem was the bugs! Tiny little bugs in the kitchen, all 3 bathrooms, and the 3rd floor bedroom. They were a Major annoyance! 2nd Bath shower leaked badly, faucet handles were very loose, & the exhaust fan didn't work. AC in 2nd bedroom barely worked. Light bulbs out in several places. Other than those few bad things, and the need for updates, everything was wonderful. We enjoyed our trip, and like I said before, we'd book it again for the price we paid. I just think some TLC would truly make this place unbeatable!

Almost exceptional
Puamana Estates is a fantastic community and this condo has a great location and gorgeous view. Truly wonderful on those points! But I felt for the price, the unit itself is in need of some TLC to replace the worn out furniture, kitchen ware, broken blinds, scuffs and scratches etc. It really could be a gem. We appreciated the beach gear and still had a lovely time and enjoyed our stay!

Family Vibes
Great location, great accommodation, perfect location to visit historic Lahaina and get around Maui. We live on Oahu - I mean where do you vacation when you live in Hawaii? MAUI! Why wife and I are frequent visitors when it comes to whale season and this year we shared our vacation with our (adult) kids. Could not ask for a better place to stay than the property and the condo itself. No issues other than previous tenants feeding the "free range" chickens which were a nuisance - not the property's issue or the owner's issue - please future guests DON'T FEED THE CHICKENS! Other than that nit - which we made light of - the experience was just as advertised. An awesome experience. Highly recommended if you have a large group to take to Maui.

Can't beat the view !
Prenominal view and quiet location toward the end of this complex. A bit far from the pools and clubhouse, but worth the walk. The unit was a bit worn and lacking (Stove was old and difficult to work as the labels on the knobs were worn off and one burner did not always work. Shortage of hand towels and washclothes. but offset by a good accumulation of spices from other visitors. ) All and all it was a beautiful week!

Gorgeous views on a beautiful property!
We were blown away at the views from our house! The huge grass area out front was absolutely perfect for hanging with our small children and just watching the waves roll in. The kitchen is small, but great for cooking lots of meals in. The master bedroom was incredible - the view was outstanding, the bed was large and comfy, and the master bath was great. The other three bedrooms are definitely on the smaller side, but didn’t bother the group much. One thing I wasn’t expecting- there were no bath tubs in any of the bathrooms. Not a huge deal, but it does make cleaning the little ones harder! The community the house was in was clean, beautiful, and had very friendly staff, guests/owners. Overall, I’d highly recommend this place to anyone!

Condo and Location
The location of this condo is perfect for a family with ages 1 to 88 years old. Having a beautiful lawn and beach access off of the lanai was wonderful. Only glitch was all the bedrooms are upstairs. But fortunately our grandma was comfy sleeping on the sofa and waking up to the chickens and beautiful sunrise. The kitchen had everything we needed and the fridge had an ice maker. Yay. Host Diane was so accommodating and always answered our pre Maui trip questions.

Amazing View!
Can’t beat the view and location! My granddaughters (7 & 8) loved going out to the beach first thing in the morning - easy to do when it’s only 50 yards away! Although the beach area is small, it’s enough for romping in the waves and using boogie boards. The unit does have a couple of beach chairs, boogie boards (pretty worn but the kids didn’t mind), a medium soft sided ice chest, and various sand toys under the stairs. Lots of leftover spices and cooking oil too so check it out before your grocery shopping! The furniture is a little worn but comfortable and mattresses could use an update but the amazing view and location make up for that! The 3 1/2 bathrooms is a blessing when you have a group of 8!

Decent location, needs some updates
Neighborhood and location near the water is great. Three story condo, good space for two families. Unfortunately, one evening the master bedroom lights would not come on, but team came next day to rewire circuits. For two days the master AC unit (pretty dusty) just blew air but did not cool and by the second day the room temperature went to 89 degrees with west sun beaming in the room. Unbearable. Again, after two days the team came out and rigged with a temporary unit to cool down the room. The team servicing the unit were friendly but the main POC didn’t seem too apologetic for the various challenges. Our kids liked the third floor and 3.5 baths was great. Just a word of caution if you are the unlucky couple to get the second adult room - queen bed, minimal furniture, tiny shower … you’ll be jealous of the master comfortable king, beach view and big bathroom. Upgraded kitchen, a lot of beach items you can use, furniture pretty worn and the grill was propped up on wood branches, not sure what happened to its base. In all, average rental and a tad high on price if some updates aren’t made.

Adult Family vacation
We stayed here with out 3 sons and their spouses/significant others. The property was absolutely beautiful and beachfront. At low tide there was sand to walk on at beach, pretty rough surf but very nice. The unit (226-1) was absolutely perfect for our group. Plenty of space and plenty of bathrooms. Unit was in beautiful condition. 5 minute drive into downtown Lahaina and 25 minute walk. We would definitely stay here again if we’re able to pull it off again.

Ideal for family gathering, well-loved and worn in places
Ideal for family gathering, well-loved and worn in places -- We were 8 family members, from 73 to 1, who met in Maui. It was wonderful to find an affordable 4-bedroom place! This place is well-loved, which is a kind way of saying that it's pretty worn. Nothing that makes it unusable, but if you want luxury and high-end, beware. The reviews here were all accurate and prepared us. The highlights: the VIEW and LOCATION. Wow! Puamana gated community is quiet, beautiful, spacious. Pools are small but serviceable (the nicest is 18+ and the quiet pool). Grounds are lovely and our kids loved running, playing, viewing turtles in the surf. We swam in front of the condo, but it is a little rough - not impossible at all, but bring water shoes and it's for boogie boarding NOT snorkeling. Mostly rocks, some sand. The beds were comfortable but old (twin room is for kids only, beds are small and old, but kids were fine). The couch was comfortable and kitchen well-stocked. Parking is easy and convenient, it's great to be on an end unit. Well stocked with TP, paper towels, coffee filters. Towels for beach and bath were new. The place gets HOT on upper floors, so each room has AC and you must shut doors when using it. Everyone's worked well. Main level living area AC was great, when needed. Porch has lots of places to sit. The lowlights: many windows are broken/don't open or don't fully close, and missing screens. Beach items and toys are old, worn, some broken. There are not enough nightstands and lamps - some rooms have none, and those that have them, sometimes only on one side of the bed. Multiple fancy light bulbs burned out and not functioning in kitchen. Kitchen is weirdly designed and we all kept hitting our heads on the vent/fan! Could not find a dust pan and the broom is decrepit, so it was hard to keep up cleanliness on our own. Outdoor shower is nice but no hot water, only cool-temp Hawaii tap water. Road noise from the road beyond the fence/foliage in the front of house and in two bedrooms during day - but no one was bothered by it at all at night!
