About this apartment rental

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.

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!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. 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.

Really enjoyed the stay here. The reverse floorplan allowed for a beautiful view from the areas we were in the most. The pictures don't do this place justice with how nicely it is finished and decorated. It was a great start to my sister-in-laws wedding trip. The main critique about the property would be that the what we believed to be the water pump would go off in the second bedroom during the middle of the night which was very loud and disruptive to our sleep. Also, adding a floor fan in the room could be beneficial for people who would like things a little more cool! Thank you for having us!

The property was in a perfect location. The unit was very clean! Well stocked with everything! It was so sound proof! The view was amazing! The rules were a little over the top as far as the property goes not the unit. Seeing security with a radar gun as people are driving was a bit much. We felt we had to very quiet at the "quiet pool" which we decided we just would not go to. We are are not loud people but didn't feel comfortable with the rules. Having said that we loved the cleanliness of the property and would return to the same unit.
