Rental Details
Rental Overview
In the wake of the Lahaina fire, Puamana continues to embody the spirit of Hawaiian resilience, even as the surrounding landscape has changed. While some amenities were lost, this coastal community remains a beautiful and peaceful retreat.
129-3 Pualei Drive, completely rebuilt in 2017 with modern coastal living in mind, stands strong. After a day at the beach, step into your contemporary home and rinse off the sand in your warm outdoor shower. Enjoy the sunset from your front lanai, and prepare dinner in your updated upstairs kitchen, which overlooks the ocean and palm trees. The outdoor barbeque is perfect for grilling, and the private patio on the mountainside offers an intimate spot for gatherings.
The home’s unique reverse floor plan provides privacy, with the kitchen and living area located upstairs, featuring vaulted ceilings and large windows that let in plenty of light. Split AC units keep each room cool and comfortable, while the downstairs bedrooms open to three distinct patio areas, designed to embrace the island’s indoor-outdoor lifestyle.
Though the fire affected much of the area, Puamana’s 30 acres of oceanfront tropical gardens are gradually recovering. The community remains a serene and low-density escape, offering seasonal sandy beaches and nearby surf spots. While some beloved facilities, such as the gym and clubhouse, were lost, the spirit of Puamana is alive and well, and neighbors continue to share stories and support each other.
The details we love about 129-3 Pualei Drive include cool blue-grey walls, plantation-style finishes, driftwood-style flooring, contemporary cabinetry with stainless fixtures, white Cambria quartz countertops, walk-in showers, recessed lighting, extra storage, and a downstairs mini-fridge for cocktail hour on the front patio. Despite the challenges faced by the community, this home offers a modern, serene retreat with the charm and beauty of island living.
Unfortunately, the historic clubhouse and some amenities were lost to the fire, and two of the three swimming pools, including the adult oceanfront pool, are currently undergoing maintenance. However, Puamana continues to provide a unique island experience, making it the perfect place to unwind and relax. The Dolphin Pool remains open and available for guests to enjoy.

My wife and I spent our 25th Wedding Anniversary at 129-3. This was our 3rd trip to Puamana, first in this unit. We believe it was by far the nicest. Everything was in top notch condition and the view was outstanding! Thank you.
Puamana is fantastic. The neighborhood is beautiful, the neighbors are lovely and the house is spectacular. Just steps to the water with a clear view of the surf and middle reef. Perfect size for 2 adults and 2 teens with ample shared living area and a large kitchen. The location is literally central to everything Maui has to offer. We will definitely be back and most certainly will aim to stay in Puamana again.
Staying at Puamana in Lahaina was an absolute dream! The property was spotless and beautifully maintained, with stunning views of the ocean that truly took our breath away. The sunsets each evening were unforgettable, like something out of a postcard.The APVR team made everything so easy from start to finish. They were incredibly friendly, responsive, and helpful throughout our stay. It really made the whole experience that much better.I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful, picturesque, and relaxing getaway in Maui. We can’t wait to come back!
Beautiful property...clean, organized, well-stocked with essentials. Had one minor issue that was quickly handled. Would definitely stay here again!
129-3 Puamana is a beautiful place to stay while in Lahaina. Great layout, beautiful lighting and windows, comfortable beds, lovely showers. Quiet neighborhood. We spent most of our day out and about and it was a comfortable inviting space to come back to each evening. Would 100% stay there again if in the area.
Everything about this VRBO is what we needed. Home was nicely kept and furnished, the community is perfect for our needs-quiet, pretty, and lots of options for the kids-3 pools and super close to the beach. Communication was great, the hosts are organized and super professional.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: A pleasant, clean and well furnished house. Instructions for checking in, checking out, directions from airport and house rules/procedures were by and large explained clearly. We were disappointed that the small beach had eroded since we made our arrangements. It was a long and expensive way to travel and not have a beach to sit on!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This property was perfect for our extended family holiday. Not only was the house beautiful, the location of the complex was perfect for us, w/a surf break right out front. We had one issue with a leaking pipe over the weekend, and the management were very responsive and sent someone out even though nobody was working that day. They also genuinly cared that we had a great stay, and I will for sure be back to stay here again.
