It's time to come home to Puamana: We are so incredibly grateful for the outpouring of love and support we have received from our extended ohana of past guests regarding the Lahaina fires. Thankfully, Puamana was mostly spared, with isolated impact to the southernmost area of Puamana. The area has been fully remediated, the landscaping looks beautiful, and permitting for restoration is well underway, with all architectural plans submitted to Maui County. We hope and believe that restoration of these homes will start soon.
Our Property and surrounding areas/views have not been affected in any way. Two of the three Puamana pools are not, but are soon to be, operational. While the Ocean Pool was mildly and indirectly impacted, the Puamana HOA made the decision to fully restore the pool to its original beauty and it is currently under restoration. The Clubhouse suffered an impact as well, but thankfully some artifacts have been recovered and the Puamana Community is committed to restore the heritage of this building in the near future. Architectural plans have been completed for restoration, submitted to the county, and we are just waiting for approval and permitting. The Dolphin Pool close to the Property, as well as the tennis and pickleball courts, are currently fully operational and available for Guest use. Please use caution and respect when entering Lahaina Town and the surrounding community.

One of the nicest properties we’ve stayed in Maui. We loved the open space to the lanai with ocean-beach front. It is quiet and peaceful. It was wonderful to skip the hullabaloo of the hotel resort for competing space . Daniel, on-site, was cordial, friendly and available for a few small questions. The house was clean, beds comfortable and kitchen updated. Property was spacious and perfect for 6. Thank you for a wonderful family vacation.

Aloha Ana,
Mahalo for your kind review. We got a giggle when we saw a pink suitcase at the top of the stairs. You were amazing being able to round up you family which is always a challenge for families on the last day.
Hope you were able to see some whales 🐳 breaching from our Lanai on the water.
We look forward to hosting your lovely family again in the future. We hope you think of Puamana as your second home.
Aloha and have a wonderful summer.

The house met our needs very well. The kitchen was very large and modern and the view from the patio to the beach was very nice. A comprehensive book was left outlining all the appliances, systems, etc, which we did need, as many were unfamiliar to us… we did have some difficulty finding the bathroom pocket door! Host was accommodating about parking for a second car. We are not surfers so we went elsewhere to the beach, but several were in a 15-20 minute drive.

Aloha Martha
We would like to thank you for the nice review. We hope you come again and if you do check in and remind us to maybe assist you in connecting to get some paddle boards. They are a nice way to get out in the water annuals is a very friendly beach entry. Also if you come between Dec and March you can actually paddle out and sit with the whales who come within several hundred yards of the beach.
Again we thank you and truly hope to host you in the future.

Beautiful home in a gorgeous setting. If you want to be away from the crowds, this is the place! Puamana is a gem and showcases the beauty of the islands. The home is very clean with a modern kitchen. The family room and master bedroom are a stone's throw from the ocean, with sounds of the surf creating a very relaxing environment. Even with parts of Lahaina still rebuilding, there are plenty of shops and restaurants nearby and the best of West Maui is less than 20 minutes away (you have to visit The Gazebo for breakfast or brunch!). The hosts were very kind and quick to respond. We loved our four-night stay and wished we could have stayed longer!
This is a beautiful property. The view was amazing. This is ideal for 6 people and the full kitchen was wonderful with a huge refrigerator and modern appliances. Communication was excellent with the property manager. We would recommend.

We had a wonderful stay. Great views, Great for watching whales from the porch, had a monk seal hang out on our beach for several hours along with a large green turtle. The hosts are quick to answer any questions. The home was well equipped to prepare any meals. Quiet stay was nice as well.

Mahalo John,
It is our pleasure. We enjoy sharing our home with guests who are so appreciative and the blessings of Puamana. We are looking forward to your return. Take very good care.
Thomas and Sarah
The rental was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed for a wonderful week in Maui. The neighborhood is quiet and very well maintained. Some of our group were happy to stay in and sit on the back porch watching whales, ships, surfers, paddle boarders, and of course sunsets, for hours. We loved having the beach just steps away - my son caught a bonefish and several waves on his boogie board. The hosts and their local contact were responsive and extremely friendly. We found the location very convenient for whichever direction we needed to travel based on the daily snorkel report. We would not hesitate for a moment to stay there again.

Sarah, Danny and I want to than youbfor your very thoughtful and nice review. Yes as you we love the out location right on the ocean where one can enjoy all the benefits you outlined. We want to add that you and you family were wonderful guests. Exactly who we love to share our home with. We sincerely look forward to hosting you again soon.
Many Maui blessings

Host was great and has a solid team of wonderful people if you have any issues Unit was furnished beautifully but it was the upstairs deck and bedroom that was such a treat Lahaina is still mourning so be respectful but Puamana has always been special to us and splurging on a unit with an upstairs deck was well worth it for whales and the stars
The amenities were fine. There was no hot water in the showers

Aloha Anne,
Mahalo for your review. Odd about the hot water. This is the first we have heard from you on this possible issue and would have immediately addressed the situation . It can be a bit slow in coming on as it is solar assist with a nice backup. We will have our maintenance staff on this immediately.
Again many thanks for the 5 star review. Take good care.
Thomas and Sarah
The location is the best! Kitchen was gorgeous and delightful to cook in. Having a caretaker onsite was ideal. Danny was a great help! It is sad that the master bedroom didn’t have a door. The stairs are narrow for getting upstairs especially carrying luggage and difficult for some. We didn’t notice the beach loungers on the side of the house until the last day. Highly recommend a rental car to get around. Shop local to support Lāhainā recovery! With any beach home the weather takes its toll on structure. Overall we had a fantastic time watching the whales off the back of the house. Enjoy
