Aloha and E Komo Mai (hello and welcome) to our beautiful direct oceanfront home with 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths. We enjoy endless unobstructed ocean views and spectacular Maui sunsets! With the backdrop views of the surrounding Islands of Lanai, Molokai, and Kahoolawe.
Beware – as you step through the front door, the ocean view will rob you of your worries. Our home is a stone’s throw from the ocean and the sound of waves breaking on the beach will wash away your stress and you’ll know that you’ve reached paradise, so relax and enjoy a pau-hana (finished work) beverage knowing that everything will be alright. Our remodeled home is located on the south shore of Puamana.
Puamana is a 30-acre oceanfront gated-property with a seasonal sandy beach and ocean access for surfing (multiple surf breaks for all levels of experience); boogie boarding; swimming; sun tanning on the beach; or just relaxing on the expansive grassy area overlooking the surf and the neighbor island views. Awesome sunset viewing on the beach or from the Clubhouse Veranda. Puamana has 3 pools to fit all of your needs. First is the Dolphin Pool, a perfect place to take your Keiki (children) to play. Followed by the Mountain Pool, which is great for anyone looking for more active enjoyment. Finally, is Puamana’s claim to fame: The Oceanfront pool, located right above the beautiful Pacific, it is the perfect place to swim, lounge, and relax.
For the more land active guests: Puamana has a tennis court, a pickle ball court, a small oceanfront gym, and expansive lawns which are perfect for throwing a frisbee or a football.
Our home is a tri-level residence, with a beautiful living room, spacious lanai and a fully equipped open, gourmet kitchen with granite counter tops, and quality appliances; with touches of Hawaiiana throughout the home.,
The second floor is our Master Bedroom, ensuite bath, a Cal King bed with organic mattress and soft linens for your sleeping comfort, as well as excellent ocean views. During whale season (Dec-April), you can sometimes hear the whales flapping their tales at night. The first guest bedroom is just across the master and enjoys a great West Maui Mountain view and has a queen bed.
On the top, we have 2 mirror bedrooms, one with West Maui Mountain views and the other with sweeping ocean views (arguably the best views in the home). Both have queen beds. There is a full bathroom located in the hallway between these bedrooms.
The living room is fully air conditioned and each bedroom has a wall air conditioner, though there is something to be said about having the lanai doors completely open and enjoying the ocean air as it breaths through the house. When the surf is up, it does tend to get a bit salty.

Easy place to stay, stairs were hard with young children but everything was fine.

Stayed for 7 nights in February. The perfect location for whale watching on the porch. Super quiet and a great place for families. Beach a little rocky but still fun for the kids and super close to other beaches. Would 100% stay again.

Comfortable, roomy unit. Each couple had their own bedroom. Common area was open and the telescoping doors were fantastic, extending the living space to the outdoors. Extremely close to the ocean with beautiful views of the water, whales, boats and surfers. Grounds and pools were very nice. Pickle ball court was excellent but fairly short hours $30 for small fitness center seemed a bit excessive given it was listed as an amenity. A beach access on the south end of the property would have been nice. Close access to Lahaina but narrow shoulders and no sidewalks made walking uncomfortable but a quick easy drive and free parking. Overall a fun, comfortable unit and location for a group of seven.

Beautiful setting. Nice unit though not fancy or redone like some. Has lots of toys, beach towels, chairs etc. Sandy beach out front but very rocky and a bit of a walk to get to beach pools and courts. Our family enjoyed it all

The location was amazing! The management was responsive and provided good communication. We would definitely book in this location again. This unit is overdue for a remodel, carpet is a tripping hazard, fire alarm was hanging by a wire, kitchen ceiling fan hits a cupboard, laundry was in a bad location, we didn’t always have hot water.

This house was great for an adult family of 4 couples. The bathrooms were a little tight as there is only a master and 1 other full bathroom (1 half bathroom too). However, the beauty of the sunsets off the back patio and location to Lahaina were unbeatable. The management company was also great and checked in with us multiple times throughout our stay.

While the location is beautiful, this is NOT the house to rent. The management company (Whalers Investment Group dba Vacation-Maui.com) did a poor job and it really negatively impacted our vacation. With this EXPENSIVE rental, this is indefensible. Character limitation will shortcut our review...
Our experience began as we walked in the door to see error light flashing on the dishwasher. Uh-oh. We are a 3 generation family of 8 (two toddlers) and we were without a dishwasher for roughly 4 days, adding HOURS of hand dish-washing each day. When we called the management company, they sent over a repairman the 2nd day, who was unable to fix it. The management company then told us that another repairman would not be there until Day 4 AND were told that WE would have to give up a complete afternoon of OUR time to wait through the 6 hour arrival window for this next repairman. They were unyielding on this and made no apologies to us whatsoever. This is the Management Company’s job and insisting that the paying guests resolve their operational issues is a huge red flag. (Perhaps we shouldn’t have been surprised to learn that before departing, the Management Company also required us to take out all of the trash, start a load of their laundry, shut down all electrical usage (including A/C) and be out by 10AM or be immediately charged a penalty $550 fee (we had to text them to tell them we were gone).
Other significant operational issues included:
>> **the primary door (the slider to the patio and beach) was almost unusable, requiring the grown men (leaning their full body weight) to open and close this primary door. (The only other door was to the carport on the parking lot side of the townhouse.)
***the air conditioning was inadequate in the primary living space as well as the third floor (temps were in the mid 80’s - low 90’s)
>> **** the kitchen supplies were insufficient in terms of all drink-ware, pots and pans, kitchen utensils etc. We even had to purchase additional paper towels and toilet paper, and garbage bags ourselves to get through the week.
>> *****the marketing materials (photos) are very MISLEADING as there is NO second family room, as shown in the photo images (it is just the prior decor of the exact same room) and the hammock, which was a huge draw for us, belongs to the next townhouse, not this house.
*** Also issues w shower door, refrig drawer, toilet.... could go on......

Location was fantastic. Outside areas beautifully maintained Staff courteous and friendly. Kitchen very well appointed!.Only reason cleanliness did not get a five was because the carpet going up the stairs was very soiled and needs replacement.

We had never been to Hawaii. We absolutely loved this Condo for our family vacation. The view brought tears to my eyes when we first arrived. Although we struggled to get the back door opened. The grounds were beautifully landscaped. The unit was easy to get to and the company we booked through was amazing in providing everything we needed to get checked in. There was a pack and play and a highchair in the unit. The upstairs bedrooms have limited closet space, and one had no closet, but we made it work. I would absolutely recommend this.

Can’t beat the location right on the beach. Unit could be a diamond if they put in a little TLC. It’s like Tuscan Under the Sun meets Hawaii. A fresh coat of paint would help in addition to replacing window screens, some furniture etc. . Invest in lounge chairs as I was jealous of my neighbors who could enjoy morning coffee outside without having to sit at a table. Nice appliances.

The home was phenomenal It was in great condition and very clean. The sunset view was incredible.Dealing with your management was confusing at best. We received the access code in an email and thought that was the allowance to go to our rental as we had done with the rental we just came from in Hawaii. There were instructions to check with the desk but that was below the codes. Our suggestion would be not to give out the house code until you register at the desk. We must not have been then only one to have done this since I received a call from your staff well after we checked out ( we texted we had checked out as instructed) saying there were people in our unit.Also we founded very intimidating to have your people come up and adjust the “no pass” sign as my wife and daughter sat near the beach. He then sat in the parking lot and watched. Also it would be nice to have better beach access (less rocks to the beach) where there was access
