About this property

Punahoa Beach 201 - Direct Ocean Front, Beautiful Renovation, Split AC, Wi-Fi

Experience the ultimate ocean immersion at Punahoa Beach 201 and live your Maui adventure right on the beach with immediate access to the protective, warm-water swimming and vibrant snorkeling reef for which Kamaole I Beach is world renowned. Spectacular forever ocean views await from your lanai and caressing tropical breezes blow right off the ocean.

Kamaole I Beach is one of Maui's best stretches of sand and will be your gateway to the meandering beach path that meanders for miles to the South, past the Wailea resorts and Kamaole II and III Beaches. Located in the heart of South Maui's beach culture, you are a block from Kihei's best surf break, across the street from kayak/SUP rentals, and a short walk to more than a dozen great restaurants and a grocery store.

Nature has seen to the spectacular view and soothing ocean, and the loving owners of this well-appointed condo have done the rest. Split system air conditioning tempers Kihei's year-round summer temperatures, ultra-fast internet keeps you connected, and a comfortable king mattress will lull you to sleep and help you prepare for the next day's adventure.

Enjoy Maui's astonishing sunsets, cook full-scale island feasts on the gas grill and fully equipped kitchen, or hang with the gentle, grazing sea turtles you are likely to see right out front. During whale season (November to April), you will have a private front row seat to the antics or launch a kayak from right out front and enjoy a special close-range adventure.

The kitchen features elegant custom bamboo cabinetry, granite surfaces, full sized stainless appliances, microwave, and coffee maker. Upgraded cable streams through a wall-mounted Smart TV.

There is nothing like being beach front on Maui to make your vacation one you will never forget. Your designated parking space and a shared laundry room are just downstairs.

PERFECT BEAUTIFUL LOCATION

We enjoyed this condo and its beautiful view of the ocean and stunning sunsets! Coffee in the morning on the lanai and a glass of wine in the evening was amazing! Very private and quiet location. The condo was spacious for the 2 of us and the king bed was so comfortable! We were able to walk to beaches, restaurants and Three’s for appetizers! Overall everything we were looking for!

Great location and amazing view

We booked this condo for its location and view and they did not disappoint! We loved it. The condo is comfortable with all amenities you might need. We knew from the other reviews that the furniture is dated, so it was not a surprise. The couch in the living room need to be replaced and the cabinets in the kitchen fixed. It also would be nice to have more shampoo and conditioner (sample size only was provided), some oil and at least start up coffee pods for the first morning after your arrival. Other than that our stay was wonderful. It's a lovely small condo building right on the snorkeling beach and few steps from sandy beach. We enjoyed watching turtles, whales and surfers from the balcony. The location is very central for Kihei. Loved our stay and would recommend it.

Above all, great view! Had everything we needed and the property manager was very communicative ahead of our stay. Area definitely is fun and we enjoyed the local restaurants nearby, but not quite as nice as further south in Kihei and especially Wailea. Great time though!
