E Komo Mai to the Aloha Cottage at Puamana! We have taken pride into making this our best hale yet! We absolutely know that you and your ohana are going to love it! We spared no expenses when doing a complete gut and remodel of this 2 bedroom 2 bathroom Puamana condo. We took risks and wanted to ensure that this unit was our dream home and unique in every way imaginable.

We are centrally located in Puamana, a gated 35 acre community in the heart of Lahaina town, at the South end of the world famous Front Street Lahaina! We are less than a 2 minute walk to the waters edge and beach access which is unique in Puamana. Carry your beach chairs (provided by us) and a sunset cocktail to the large grassy lawn to watch sunset every evening while watching surfers at the amazing surf break called Hot Sands. We are a 30 second walk to the Dolphin Pool which is right through a grassy path in front of our home. This makes it easy for a quick dip in the pool every morning and evening. Our unit is near the road, however, we took this into account during our remodel. We installed double pane windows, central AC with separate room units, all new insulation and drywall, black out blinds and curtains in the loft and bedrooms, and have a water feature on the back lanai.

During our remodel we wanted to have a feel for a classy beach home with a touch of farmhouse. The best of both worlds in our opinion! We have shiplap walls we installed, a large porcelain farm sink in the kitchen, carrera marble countertops, and floating Mango wood shelves straight from uncles farm in Hana, Maui. We have all brand new GE Artistry appliances that resemble those from the 60s era and a floating stainless steel range hood. We installed an ice maker and water filtration system perfect for your cocktail using the Ninja blender. We have a love for fresh fruit smoothies so we couldn’t skimp on the blender. Go pick Mangos from the 3 large Mango trees on the property and add them to your blended drink for a daily refresher straight from the ‘aina (land). We have a kureig coffee maker, because who doesn’t these days! You don’t want to have to wait too long for your morning coffee to sit on the back lanai with.

The back lanai is larger than the majority of other Puamana units and has all hand carved teak furniture straight from the island of Bali. With many sitting spots to choose from you can have your Puamana ohana over for a BBQ. There is cafe lighting and a large market umbrella to make the lanai enjoyable all hours of the day. There is also an outdoor shower perfect for rinsing off after surfing Hot Sands (less than a 2 minute walk from the condo). We even have beach chairs, sand toys, a beach umbrella, beach towels, boogie boards and snorkel equipment for your use during your stay.

The main living room has a wall mounted 65” smart tv, plenty of seating with an open floor concept, perfect for watching movies while entertaining. The wall collage has all things Maui and lots of ALOHA! There is even a reading nook to feel like you can escape into a good book. Serve wine from the wine fridge and wine closet to your friends and family!

The guest bathroom is one of my statement rooms with the pineapple wallpaper perfect for Maui! It has a large standup shower with a foot rest for the females who want to shave their legs. The shower has solid seamless glass and a carrera marble sink vanity.

The master bedroom has plush 4 post california king bed with a 5 inch mattress topper, high end sheets and bedding. There are black out blinds and curtains in the room so that you can fully take advantage of your Maui vacation and sleep in or perfect for the little napper after a long day at the beach. The bedroom has a closet and a shelving unit to unpack. It also has a built in dresser with marble top and high end Bosch washer and dryer! You won’t need to be using the laundry mat, just throw a load of laundry in during your vacation. The bedroom has a wall mounted 40” tv perfect for tv watching while laying in bed. The master bathroom has a farmhouse theme, high end travertine tiled shower and seamless glass doors.

As if this weren’t enough, there is the loft space which is perfect for all ages! There is a queen sized bed with Maui’s own Maka Sea collection bedding. A sitting area to escape to if traveling with different families. A play area for your keiki (kids) traveling with you, and a baby gate to ensure safety from the stairs. The best part about the loft is the movie room! A wall mounted 60” UHDTV TV, two huge comfy foam filled bean bag seats, floor pillows, games, and a popcorn machine! There is also a single unit central ac unit installed to ensure maximum comfort.

We have a queen size sleeper sofa in our Living Room for additional sleeping arrangements if necessary :)

Puamana is located at the South end of Front Street which makes it a short drive, bike ride, or enjoyable walk into town to shop Front Street, grab groceries, eat dinner, catch a show, or a boat ride adventure from Lahaina Harbor. We are also a quick drive to two other great beaches, Baby Beach and Launiupoko Beach Park. We are close to all of the West Side attractions and about a 30 minute drive to the airport.

You really won’t be disappointed with our home! It is an end unit, with minimal human traffic and is super private! We really can’t wait for you to enjoy this piece of paradise!! Aloha A Hui Ho

The property was clean and well equipped. First impression was positive. Unfortunately the washer and dryer did not work well. This was a requirement when looking for a place to stay. Upon checking out we learned they were actually broken.

Great little home base
It was very clean and well equipped. Backyard seating area was very comfortable, but be aware that there will be some traffic noise when you're outside. Convenient location, covered parking for 1 vehicle. Outstanding host - always got back to me within a few minutes.

Great Complex (Puamana) bad condo location
The condo complex (Puamana) is very charming, gated, safe, a bit older (but that adds to the Hawaiian charm), family oriented, multiple pools, lovely old school clubhouse, friendly locals and renters, and a convenient walk/short drive to Front St. I’m in Maui often and this was my first stay in this complex and I highly recommend Puamana Rentals, just not this unit: 1. This unit is literally right behind Honoapiilani Hwy. You hear constant and loud traffic all day and night. For reference, I've lived in the middle of Los Angeles for over 15 years and I'm very used to traffic noise. This was so loud and close that trucks even shook the house in bed at night. This was a giant issue and no one in my family is a light sleeper - this 100% should have been disclosed. The condo location in proximity to the multiple pools/walk to ocean is great, but the highway noise was unbearable. 2. It was orderly but not very clean. There was a layer of dirt on the floor (all 3 of us noticed having black feet within 20 minutes of arrival), the coffee table had a layer of dirt/grime I had to clean and piles of sand on the kitchen drawers upon arrival. Maybe it was an off day for the cleaners?? 3. Zero closet space and no dresser in either bedroom so you have to live out of your suitcase. The primary has a closet but it was packed full of homeowner things with no room to hang anything. We stayed for 9 nights, so might not be an issue if you have a shorter stay or don’t mind not unpacking.

Peaceful Paradise
The perfect location for our crew to get away, relax, and take in the beautiful island! Location is perfect for quick access to beautiful Lahaina and an easy drive to everywhere else on our itinerary. Kitchen is lovely and had everything we needed. The back porch was also beautiful. Just a few minutes walk to the ocean. Thank you!!

Beautiful cottage
We had everything we needed in this charming, adorably decorated, immaculate home. If I have a complaint, it is that the listing makes it seem right on the beach. It’s not at all. The community is on the ocean front but it’s a walk from this home. And the beach isn’t really one you can spend time on. But it’s near many beautiful beaches and was a great place to come home to.

Adorable Maui Sea House
Thank you for allowing us to stay in you adorable sea house! It was perfect for our family of 5. We loved the beach themed decor and all of the many ammenities!! We felt very relaxed and at home during our stay. The pool with ocean view and sun sets was amazing!! The only minor inconvenience was that your next door neighbor was parking in our assigned parking stall. When we contacted security, they were very helpful and provided other spots for us to park in. Overall, our stay was great and we'd love to return one day! Thank you for sharing your adorable sea house! With thanks, The Ascher family

Gracious host
Upon booking, Ryan was very thorough in sharing all details for our upcoming stay. The home was cute and looks like it does in photos. There were a few issues, the bed in the Master being broken for the first night, however Ryan was quick to respond and had it fixed within a 24 hour period. Some of the other issues that we found we could live with since it was a short trip. Overall, had most of what we needed. The home is 35 minutes from the airport, about 20 minutes from Ka’anapali Beach and less than 10 minutes from the main strip (Front St), including Foodland.

WOW!! Beautifully Appointed Cottage with Full Amenities!
We stayed at this beautiful, well-appointed, impeccably clean Cottage in late September 2022 for our long-awaited dream vacation to Maui. It did not disappoint, and we can't say enough how terrific it was -- including all the comfortable, beautiful appointments, full kitchen & laundry amenities, beach gear (chairs, umbrella, towels, snorkel gear) and beautiful Lanai. Five-minute walk to beach/ocean/pool, and ten-minute drive to lively Front Street in Lahaina. Communication with our host Ryan was SUPER! Ryan was very responsive and prompt, providing us with all pertinent details to access the gated community, home, pool, where to park, etc. We had many questions before our trip, and he answered them all! Mahalo for sharing your home and helping to make our dream vacation come true! Scott & Deb O.

The Aloha Cottage
We spent eleven wonderful days in this charming, sweet cottage. Loved every second of it. The patio was our dining room. The kids adored their private upstairs retreat. The AC was awesome. And the decor is super cute. The surrounding grounds are beautifully maintained and the cottage is literally steps to the beach. You can actually hear the waves while laying in bed or out on the patio. Location was also excellent. LOVED EVERY BIT OF IT!

Great Stay in Maui
We had a tremendous time in Maui and the accommodations were excellent. The property was very clean and just a short walk to the beach. The location was a plus as downtown Lahaina was a short distance....where you had access to great restaurants and shopping. Ryan was easy to work with and responded timely. We will definitely consider staying at this location again. Thanks!

Great stay; Great neighborhood
My husband and I stayed here with another couple for one week. We loved the house and can't say enough about how nice the neighborhood was. The kitchen is well-stocked with any utensils and spices you might need, and any instructions for the house were clear. We loved the large lanai - perfect for drinks and games every evening. We walked to town almost every day. No, there is not a side walk the whole way, but we never felt in danger walking on the side of the road. Parking was easy and clear, and there was so much more the neighborhood had to offer that we didn't end up using (tennis, weight room, etc.). We did love the pool on the ocean though, which was easy to walk to. All in all, a great place!

This home was perfect especially for those traveling with younger kids. Our kids had space to play, the grown ups had room to relax, and the home was just sooo relaxing. Walking distance from the beach and sunsets. In Lahaina which is such an authentic place to stay in Maui. We just loved our stay at this home. The kitchen was great for making meals at home.

Aloha Guys, Ryan and Sarah here! We hope that you will enjoy our home as much as we do! We started traveling the world as soon as we met, always using vrbo or staying in some local's house, so we wanted to have our own home that we could share with the world.

Why they chose this property

Best thing about this home is the location! Puamana is the very best vacation resort here in Lahaina. Great mix of local and tourists alike! You will love the 3 different swimming pools and the beautiful beach right here on the property. This home is completely remodeled, Everything is brand new!
