About this house rental
This townhome was spared by the August 2023 Lahaina fire, but part of our Puamana community was burned including our historic clubhouse. All services have been restored as of July 2024, one pool is open at Puamana, and there are no restrictions or checkpoints to enter this part of Lahaina. Owner Clever Trevor has visited the property several times since the fire, just enjoyed 2 weeks there in September 2024 and looks forward to hosting guests again. Please make a reservation.
This is Puamana at its best! I am Clever Trevor Alt and I proudly own and manage this property.
This beautiful 2 bedroom 2.5 bath townhouse (Puamana 167-4 on Pualei Drive) is 200 feet from the Pacific ocean and was remodeled and outfitted with top of the line furnishings, appliances, and air conditioning. With contemporary design elements and massive outdoor living areas you have the best of both indoor and outdoor living. My unit is #167-4, and we are conveniently located between the two beach access points so you only have a short walk in either direction to be in the water and ready to surf, paddleboard, or swim!
The living room, fully equipped and stocked kitchen and half bath/laundry are located on the first floor and the two bedrooms and two full bathrooms are upstairs. We have a 65 inch HD curved television in the living room as well as TV in one bedroom, and fast, reliable wifi for all of your technological needs. Owner clevertrevor upgraded the internet speed to 1 gigabyte in September 2024. The couch is a sleeper sofa that pulls out to be a double bed, and we also have a double air mattress to accommodate extra guests.
The ground floor living room opens up to a very large 300 square foot covered lanai with two ceiling fans, lights, a dining table that seats 6, and plenty of seating. The lush landscaping makes it feel like you are in your own private tropical oasis and there is even a hot water outdoor shower to rinse in after a day at the beach or a surf session. We provide beach chairs, beach towels, a cooler and beach toys for your enjoyment. You may borrow my surfboards that are stored under our carport - you can walk to the breaking surf that is behind our gates in our Puamana community!
The master bedroom has a king size bed and full ensuite bathroom with a shower. From the bed you have a view of palm trees swaying in the breeze just past your private lanai, and a peek of the ocean from the windows. Enjoy cocktails at sunset from the comfort of your outdoor sectional sofa on the second floor 300 square foot lanai or just lounge in the midday sun with your favorite book. With ocean views and the shade of the coconut trees, this lanai is quite possibly the best spot in the house. I love to leave the slider and window open at night to be soothed to sleep by the sound of gently crashing waves. In September 2024 I added a 27" iMac Apple desktop computer to the mini office in the master closet which you may use.
The guest room is also outfitted with a king size bed and also boasts peek ocean views from both windows. Wake up with the sun as it comes over the mountains or maybe choose to close the blackout blinds for a peaceful morning of sleep. All of our doors and windows are double paned and sound proof so you will never have to worry about road noise or other disturbances. The guest bathroom has a deep soaking tub and shower and is located in the hallway outside of the guest bedroom.
The unique gated community of Puamana is old school chill and has some full time residents. The quiet streets are perfectly landscaped. Plumeria trees shower the streets with their flowers. Depending on the season you can also find mangos, bananas, avocados, citrus, papaya and more! From December through April you can even watch Humpback Whales swim and play just off the shore.
Puamana has 3 pools to fit all of your needs but as of September 2024 the Dolphin Pool is the only one in operation, and it's the closest pool to our townhome. Located directly over the clear blue pacific, the Ocean Pool is a perfect place to swim, lounge, and relax with the sound of the waves. It's literally built into the seawall so close to the ocean that salt water can get in the pool when the surf is up. I've sat at the pool watching surfers ride waves 50 feet away! Hopefully the Ocean Pool will be reopened soon.
Puamana offers a children's playground, recreation areas, and a private sandy beach. There are several surf breaks right here at Puamana, all a short walk from our luxury condominium. During the winter the ocean is generally calmer, but I have surfed here at all times of the year. Whale season is from December to mid April. The humpbacks love the channel between our beach and the nearby islands of Molokai and Lanai, you can see them from anywhere in Puamana, even from our condo.
Puamana is located at the south end of Lahaina's Front Street. You do not have to go through any check points since as of September 2024 they've been moved well into Lahiana.
If windows are open road noise may be heard along with the sound of the surf. But open the windows that face the ocean and you hear all ocean! That's how your host Clever Trevor sleeps when he's here and it's a big reason why Clever Trevor put his life savings into this property.
Your host Clever Trevor purchased this townhome in June 2022. However, I have been in the vacation rental business in Nevada and Hawaii for more than a decade and have hosted thousands of happy guests. Please see my many 5 star reviews for my nearby luxury ground floor condominium at the Honua Kai Resort & Spa - VRBO Property # 586663.
Note that this listing site is implementing "artificial intelligence" that is not in fact intelligent. For example, in the search results it has recently displayed that my property is "14 minutes from Maui Sandy Beach" and there is such a beach but my guests probably won't see it because they can walk 2 minutes to Puamana's own sandy beach (see my pictures including the property map). Our own sandy beach is behind the Puamana community gates where we also have 3 named surf breaks (hot sands aka "Puamana" is the beginner friendly one, the "pools" break in front of the Ocean pool is for experts only). All beaches in Hawaii are public so our security will let savvy local surfers in through our security gates but there is little traffic at Puamana's beaches and grounds and our pools have their own codes that are only given to Puamana residents and guests that are staying here. Puamana is a residential community that allows vacation rentals but there are some full time residents with families here and you'll feel the aloha when you visit.
With aloha,
Clever Trevor

Everything was just as the ad described. Location was perfect. Close to Lahania and steps from the beach. Trevor’s place is just beautiful and well stocked with everything you would ever need. My family loved having dinner outside on the patio and morning coffee on the upper deck. We can’t wait to come back!

We had a wonderful family vacation staying in Puamana! Host Trevor is a great communicator and the condo and community are top notch. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. We found the upstairs Lanai to be especially relaxing. Will definitely look to stay there again when returning to Maui!
5.0
This was our first trip to Hawaii, and we chose this location for its beautiful property and location near Lahaina. The community and townhouse far exceeded our expectations! Trevor provided everything necessary for a fantastic stay in Maui, and it was a bonus to just “show up,” and have the beach chairs, sand toys, etc. all there and waiting for us! We enjoyed many days by the fantastic pool, sunsets watching the surfers, and our two year old loved that there was a playground for her within close walking distance. We would highly recommend Trevor’s home to anyone looking for a perfect stay in Lahaina!

Great property, nicely renovated. Great location on south end of Lahaina. Cool backstory on the property of Puamana. Highly recommend staying here. Beds and sofas are comfortable. Host was incredibly helpful on check in. Kitchen is functional and has everything you need. Even a few decent knives, which seems to be a rare thing so I appreciate it.
Used the grill and the outside shower a few times,
Aloha and Mahalo!

This was a perfect Hawaii house. Close to all the best beaches. Pool was lovely. Direct beach front access is a challenge but don’t let that stop you. You’ll appreciate the quiet. The house has everything you could need. The host was always available when we needed him (which was infrequent.) We will be back.

Trevor was an excellent host and very responsive. The accommodations were impeccable and beautifully appointed. We enjoyed being so close to the beach and the town of Lahaina. The gated community was so relaxing and enjoyable. We will definitely return. Thank you Trevor !!!

Thanks me of the best VRBO experiences I’ve had. Trevor is very responsive and helpful with tips on the island as well. The overall property itself is great with outstanding Surf breaks. The rental property has an awesome back patio area and only a short walk to the beach. The inside has everything you need and more with high quality fit & finish. Thank you very much, we’ll be back 😎

Super clean place. Amenities were great! We used all the cool beach gear and kitchen supplies. We were also visited by a family of chickens every morning while we were having breakfast in the back patio.

I am happily giving our 17 day stay at Puamana 167-4 (5) stars. The entry to the home is set up seamlessly. Coordinating with the owner to reserve this location for our stay, went well.
6 adult family members stayed at this beautiful and clean home. The location is only 200 feet from the ocean front. What added a unique addition to our stay here, was the two outdoor living spaces. One outdoor space is located just outside the master bedroom and the other lanai space is just off of the living room. Each outdoor space provided plentiful seating , which we found, clean comfortable. The kitchen was efficient with everything you need to cook a complete meal, smoothies or deserts. The vibrant blue cabinets made the space pop. I wont forget to mention the extremely comfortable sofa sleeper in the living room, which allowed for some comfortable down time. The location was great, and we found ourselves walking just a few steps to view the beautiful sunset every night. The property owner Trevor provided an open communication line and he was very helpful. We came here to stay for vacation and other family members stayed at neighboring homes within the Puamana community. Here we celebrated out daughters wedding at Merrimens just a few minutes down the road. We then were able to enjoy our vacation with close family members and friends. We would not change the reservation for this home as it served our purpose well. Our family was extremely satisfied with our stay here and definitely look forward to reserving this space again in our future.

Just Awesome!
This property is in a great location and is exceptionally maintained. The property was transitioned to a new owner "Trevor" prior to our stay. Trevor communicated effectively and quickly to ensure there were no concerns during the transition. The townhouse layout was spacious, well decorated, clean, and just perfect. I cannot overstate how happy we were with this property and location! Thank you Trevor, we had a great family vacation.

We stayed 5 nights here. The size of the property was perfect for husband, son, and myself. We loved having access to a grill, beach chairs, and a wagon. The neighborhood is lovely. However the next door neighbor was having all of his windows replaced. It was quite noisy, but our host compensated us for our troubles. We would love to stay here again in future.

We traveled with another couple and this was a great location with plenty of space & amenities. We loved sitting outside and cooked many meals here! The ocean is a quick walk away (rocky shore) and we utilized the pool by the shore. We took advantage of the cooler/beach chairs/boogie boards for afternoons at different beach locations. The owner was very responsive! We would definitely stay here again!

It was very clean, nicely furnished, a great kitchen, comfy beds and complete with all amenities. Having the option of both an upper and lower lanai to hang out was awesome! We definitely will rent again and highly recommend!

My partner and I planned our Maui vacation back in July to kick back before the holiday madness. His brother and mom decided to come along, and this rental was the perfect choice. It fit all 6 of us, was affordable, and in a prime location.
Cavin’s property was exactly as pictured. It was clean, tastefully decorated and had all the amenities for us to enjoy our time in Maui. We especially loved the lanai where we enjoyed our morning coffee and sunset dinners. The foliage provided some privacy without obstructing the view of the ocean. You cannot beat the picturesque view and the proximity to the water.
On our second night here, we all walked to the beach entrance to take a family photo and that’s when Karlo asked the long awaited question. Thank you, Calvin, for opening your doors to us and letting us stay in your beautiful home. This was our first time in Maui as a couple, and we’re leaving this trip newly engaged. We’ll definitely be back! Mahalo.

This house was fantastic! Very clean with great amenities. This Hale has 2 large lanais giving us even more space. The Puamana grounds are very secure and sooo beautiful and well maintained. When things came up, Mr Erickson was quick to respond and take care of things…a real pleasure to deal with. We loved it so much ….we are returning next year…

Relaxing getaway near the beach.
Very nicely remodeled townhouse with a full kitchen and comfortable bedrooms. The patio is very nicely redone, as well, with excellent lighting and comfortable seating for both relaxing and dining. The community amenities are also very nice, with three pools and beachfront access. Hosts were extremely responsive and accommodating. We had an outstanding experience all around.
