About this house rental
You will love our beautiful 3-bedroom, 2 1/2-bath oceanfront home, located in the serene, 30-acre gated Puamana community of low-rise townhomes in West Maui. While the Lahaina fire impacted parts of the community, our home has been professionally cleaned and offers a peaceful retreat with stunning ocean views. The grounds remain beautifully landscaped with palm, mango, and banyan trees, allowing guests to continue enjoying the tropical beauty of the area.
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.
Our oceanfront vacation home, located just 25 feet from the water, features a spacious, fully equipped gourmet kitchen with granite countertops and high-quality appliances. The tropically furnished, expansive oceanfront living room is the ideal place to relax with friends and family.
The master bedroom offers a king-size bed with spectacular ocean views, where you can fall asleep to the sound of the waves and wake to the sunrise through the coconut palms. The second bedroom has a queen bed and views of the majestic Maui mountains, while the third-floor loft bedroom has two twin beds with both ocean and mountain views. There is also a queen sofa sleeper in the living room for larger parties. All rooms have ceiling fans, and portable air conditioners are available in each of the bedrooms for added comfort.
Relax on the oceanfront lanai, feel the ocean breeze, and enjoy paradise. You’re just steps away from the water, perfect for kayaking, surfing, or boogie boarding. A short walk brings you to a sandy beach where the water laps gently at the shore. Children can play on the grassy lawn right in the backyard, and nothing beats watching a Hawaiian sunset while sipping a mai tai from your private lanai.
Despite the changes, our home remains a beautiful and tranquil getaway for those looking to experience Maui’s natural beauty.

We found our rental unit quite adequate for our family party of 8. Our first four days were filled with the activities we had looked forward to doing since we began planning the trip: snorkeling, body surfing, beach hiking, shopping, checking out new places to eat, pictures under the banyan tree, watching the sunset at the Haleakala summit, and soaking up the warm Hawaii sun at our beach front rental. About four days into our stay, the winds kept increasing (and we were informed that they weren't trade winds but a hurricane), the power poles blew down, we lost power, and trees and branches were falling all over the property, and we had to remain inside. Then we happened to see the tremendous black cloud of smoke to the north in downtown Lahaina, and we immediately started to pack our bags. We were soon ordered to evacuate and thankfully we were ready to do so. We spent the last two days of our trip in a condo in Kihei. Our hearts go out to all the people of Lahaina who have lost loved ones, their homes and their livelihood. We have been told that our unit survived the fire, but many other buildings were destroyed. We thank God for His protection and provision for our family

Eight of us stayed at the property for 4 nights. Everything was as described. Property was clean and ready at check-in time, contact person responded quickly, and it's a great location. Really can't say enough about the view out the back......ocean steps away and incredible sunsets every night. Even woke up one night at 3:30 to see a beautiful full moon over the water out my window. So lovely. We needed a blow up bed and forgot to bring one. We found one on the property which was great except it didn't hold air the whole night......had to blow up again in the middle of the night. But it was great that it was there for us to use and it saved us a trip to go buy one! Overall everything was excellent and I would stay there again in a heart beat!!

Nice condo located in Lahina at the end of the complex so you get great privacy and a quiet location. The view from the master bedroom is amazing! Overall it's a great spot for 6-8 people, the 3rd bedroom is really a kid room as it has vaulted low ceilings so adults would have to bend over. All rooms has there own A/C so you can stay cool. The beach is rocky there but if you go to the 2nd access area and straight into the water there you will find a small area with little to no rocks. Overall great stay and location.

The views are amazing and sitting on the patio overlooking the ocean is bliss. The kitchen is well-stocked with updated appliances. When we arrived the upstairs bedroom needed the AC unit to be replaced but the property manager was prompt and replaced it the next morning. The dryer also decided to stop working so we didn’t get to use the laundry but the manager provided clean beach towels for our stay. My only complaints are the floors were not very clean (we like to take off shoes indoors but had to keep them on during our stay) and there was a funky musty smell but got used to it after a couple days. Communication with the manager was very good and prompt.

Everything was great except beach access was too far from the unit, the complex needs to add another entry point at the south end of complex
The only access is at the north end and the center. Inconvenient for the units at the south end.
The unit as well, equipped with beach, chairs, towels, toys
The views are amazing!

We were at this property for two weeks and our family had a wonderful stay! You can’t beat the location so close to Lahaina and right on the ocean. We really enjoy the views and listening to the waves!
The house is well equipped with everything you need. The only warning we have is the ceiling height in the bedroom with the twin beds. Great for kids but low for adults!
We would highly recommend this as a place to stay!

272-1 is exactly as described. The unit was clean and in good condition. The unit had beach chairs, umbrella, boogie boards that we used and appreciated. The management company's communicate before and during our stay was just perfect (clear and concise). Location was 4 star for distance to the pools and clubhouse. We came with 3 other families whose units were around the clubhouse so it was not convenient to visit. However, privacy and direct ocean view made up for it. The distance to Lahaina town is definite 5 star. The only other issue we had was the 3rd bedroom which did not have pictures on the website which concerned us before booking this unit. Our concern was justified because it was like an "attic" bedroom. If the people staying in this room are tall then it could be a problem. My boys are both 5'5 so it was fine but be aware. It was also hotter than the other rooms but the small bedroom air conditioner was fine. Would I rent this unit again? Probably if there are no other units closer to the clubhouse that are ocean front.

Lahaina Stay
We had a wonderful stay at Lahaina. The location of the property was incredible. Beach walks in the morning were accented by monk seals playing in the water, literal feet away from us. We also saw sea turtles multiple times. The property comfortably fit six people of multiple generations. The location was wonderful for front street and numerous beaches.

Our experience was very good! The rental company managing the unit was very responsive. As shared with the management company, there were some general maintenance issues. Cleaning could be improved, like the floors being washed/mopped (I wiped them as my feet got dirty walking across the floor) and that someone (Maintance or cleaning person) checks the grill for cleaning (I had to cleaning it as the bottom was full of grease) and the vent from the dryer to the exterior (vent line full of lint & sand). The design and layout of the unit was very relaxing and you felt that the ocean was part of the unit itself. Location is amazing. Rental managers were very responsive and very nice.

Wonderful!
We traveled recently with my parents and our 18 month old and had an amazing time at this property. The beach access was easy to get to, the view was incredible, and the location was perfect for visiting the Lahaina baby beach (perfection), my parents took a few kayak and snorkel tours nearby while baby napped, we found the place to be restful and comfortable. It's not super private, but we found all of our neighbors to be friendly and relaxed. A perfect jumping off point for a family, we'd love to visit again.

Our Beach side condo fit our three couples plus one grandchild very well. The condo features are all top-quality – bed kitchen etc. The location near Lahaina right on the beach in a low rise townhouse was really fun. They community facilities, pool, beach access were all a half a mile away and no bicycle was provided. Beach access was a too distant, since you are 30 feet from the water but have to walk a half a mile to get to it. This was not

Waterfront Convenience
Gorgeous waterfront views from this property. I stayed here with my spouse, 2 sons in their 20’s and their girlfriends. The kitchen is updated and fully stocked. Plenty of towels and beach towels. We rented paddle boards and had them dropped off at the property and getting on the beach is a short walk through the property. Beach restoration is in process so you can’t access the beach directly from the unit, but it wasn’t a big deal. The property is gated and secure. We enjoyed our stay and it was convenient to restaurants and bars. I would definitely stay here again.

Amazing location and 5 Star Service
The property is located in a gated community with security so already you feel comfortable staying at a stranger's house. The team was very accommodating, called to make sure I had checked in and if I needed anything. I actually did need an iron and it wasn't at all urgent but a brand new one arrived within hours! There isn't direct beach access from the house, but it's a short walk on the grass. The house was perfect and having coffee on the patio overlooking the ocean every morning was a dream. Super close to shops and restaurants but far enough to feel like you are in paradise. Thank you for opening your home to us!

Clean, large, well appointed kitchen. Gorgeous views from master bedroom and back patio. Upstairs bedroom with 2 twin beds was small and my daughter accidentally hit her head on the sloped ceiling. The area and location were clean and close to Front street. I thought it was a litigator to walk to in the heat.

Unit in pathetic condition
The townhouse had multiple issues during our stay. Some are noted below:
- MBR AC did not work, a noisy portable was provided which kept blowing up the power.
- Uncomfortable (very worn out) bed and pillows in the MBR
- Kitchen had ants
- Old rusty furniture for the beach.
The only plus point was that the local manager David was very responsive and tried to address the issues as best as he could.
However, just not the kind of condition one would expect with such a premium advertised (and price point) place.
Please do not rent this!

This house was a terrible scam
The photo clearly implies that this is a stand alone house . It is NOT . It is a condo. The next door neighbor who lives there full time was horrid . They had no stop parties and dropped their bikes and skateboards on this property front yard , daily ! At night the kids would play lawn bowling two or 3 feet from the outdoor dining table even when we were having dinner. The male neighbor at 8 am walked completely on toowhat was our patio and spoke to my

Great Staycation
Stayed on-island for Spring Break. Beautiful location, got lucky with a small swell for surfing. Unit has just about everything you need, very comfortable. I wish the check-in instructions came before check-in time - an email arrived at 4:06pm, but there is little to no cell service, so I had trouble getting in the actual unit. Overall, I'd rent this again for sure!

This unit puts you right on the water and the view is beautiful!! But we did have some issues. First of all, be aware that this unit is part of a much larger gated community, it is the very last one so location is farthest drive from the gated entrance. It is not close to any of the pools. And there is no direct beach access from the unit. I did not research this beforehand but I should have.
Also we had an issue with A/C during our stay. The first floor unit was not working when we arived and the indoor temperature was 85 degrees in the evening. We had to ask for service the next business day and parts needed to be ordered. I don't know why it wasn't noticed during the cleaning service prior to our stay that the unit was hot and AC not functioning. I think they fixed it by the last day of our stay but didnt tell us it was working so we didnt get a chance to use it. On the second floor the A/C units are set to shut off after 6 hrs making it tough to stay comfortable if you like to sleep on vacation longer than 6 hours at a time. There are no window coverings in the first floor kitchen which faces walkway for privacy/security. And the unit does not have any boogie boards, beach chairs or beach toys available for use. There were plenty of beach towels though.

While we knew this property would be special, we had no idea how stunning and relaxing it would feel being literally feet from the sound of the surf.
Our comfort with the rental started well before we arrived on Maui. The clear communications from the management company upon our rental and the detailed information provided in the state-of-the-art app gave us every assurance that navigating the property after business hours (i.e. access codes to main gate, access to this home) would be seamless, and it was. We arrived after dark and found the home to be exactly as described. It was clean, open, airy, thoroughly appointed kitchen, plenty of clean linens, excellent lay-out and truly stunning front-yard view.
The well-stocked kitchen and BBQ grill made it simple to cook at home, eliminating the desire to dine out - even with a vast array of restaurants within walking and biking distance.
During our stay, paddleboarders and surfers played the waves just off the shore and provided endless entertainment.
The salt-water adults swimming pool at Puamana perched at the ocean edge was spectacular and a regular favorite of ours.
The hammock (with anchors on two shore-facing palm trees) was a particular joy, especially in the mornings.
While Lahaina, Cannery Row and Kaanapali are all very accessible, because of the time we were traveling (Winter 2020), we opted to be less social this trip. This made the open-space and homey feeling of 272-1 all that more important to us. We could've easily stayed here for a full month or longer.

Puamana is in a great location with easy access to Lahaina and other island destinations. The proximity to the ocean (20 feet) and the views from the lanai and master bedroom were as advertised. Plenty of space for our party of 6. The kitchen is spacious and the LG appliances nice. We cooked several meals in the unit and used the outdoor grill. There were plenty of beach chairs provided for our use plus two umbrellas, an ice chest, and six beach towels. I recommend this property and we would be happy to return to Puamana 272-1 for our next Maui vacation. We may consider a unit with a second story deck next time just to enhance the experience. A great escape from worrying about Covid back home. Everyone in Maui was wearing masks. It was easy to find restaurants with outdoor seating. Go to Maui now for a relaxed atmosphere, plenty of parking and spots in the shade at the beach, and little traffic!
