About this property

87-1 Escape to Paradise at Puamana's Hale Nalu

Welcome to Hale Nalu, a beautifully updated townhome in the tranquil Puamana community just south of Lahaina. This 30-acre private paradise offers a peaceful retreat away from high-rise hotels and crowded tourist areas, yet remains close to world-class beaches and golf, unique shopping, and fabulous dining in Kaanapali and Kapalua. While the devastating 2023 fires destroyed historic Lahaina Town and impacted 40% of Puamana’s oceanfront community, including our historic Clubhouse and some homes directly next to and behind this property, Hale Nalu and the southern side of Puamana were spared, offering a safe and serene haven amidst a community in recovery.

Despite these challenges, Puamana retains its charm and unique amenities. A complete renovation of the spectacular Ocean Pool was completed in October 2025, offering guests a one-of-a-kind setting right at the water’s edge with breathtaking views of the Pacific. The Dolphin Pool is also open and available for use.

Guests can swim at the Dolphin Pool, play tennis or pickleball, or take a three minute stroll to the shoreline, where the presence of sand varies with the tides and ocean conditions. Surf breaks fronting the Puamana community often provide great waves for surfers and body boarders alike. Hale Nalu is ideally located less than ten minutes from Lahaina’s Safeway and Foodland Farms grocery stores, the renowned Old Lahaina Luau, and a range of dining options. Enjoy exceptional restaurants such as Mala Ocean Tavern, Honu Oceanside, and Star Noodle for a more refined experience, or choose casual favorites like Aloha Mixed Plate and Coco Deck for a relaxed meal with island flair.

Hale Nalu itself has been thoughtfully updated to provide both comfort and style. The fully remodeled kitchen boasts new appliances and cabinets, while split-system air conditioning ensures the family room and bedrooms stay cool and comfortable. The home’s interior has been completely reimagined with contemporary furnishings, including a custom monkey pod dining table, and features fine art photography celebrating Maui’s waves, a perfect homage to the home’s name, which means "House of Waves."

The master bedroom on the ground floor features a king bed, TV, and ensuite bathroom, along with a walk-in closet with a washer/dryer. Upstairs, the sunlit dormer loft comfortably sleeps five with a queen bed, two twin XL beds, and a daybed. Blackout blinds allow for restful sleep or a relaxing nap. Please note that loft ceilings are low, so please be mindful. The loft is also open to the lower level, a consideration for a family with very small children. Both ground-level bathrooms have been recently remodeled.

Outdoor living spaces invite you to embrace Maui’s beauty. Begin your day with coffee on the front lanai’s cozy hanging porch swing, or unwind in the evening on the spacious rear lanai, perfect for BBQs and private gatherings. A grassy area beyond offers a safe play space for kids. The home is well-equipped for beach adventures, with chairs, a cooler, and boogie boards available. Should you choose to rent surf or paddle boards while visiting the island, you will find a board storage rack on the rear lanai.

Staying at Hale Nalu offers a unique opportunity to support a recovering community, while enjoying Maui’s natural beauty and tranquil atmosphere. Whether you’re planning a relaxing vacation, celebrating a special occasion, or seeking a working retreat, this home is the perfect place to experience all that Maui has to offer. Book your stay today and create unforgettable memories in this island paradise.

We loved our stay at this condo. The property is so pretty and we loved time on the beautiful lanai and grassy area for games and family time. The setup was perfect for our family of 5. Additionally, the extras at the condo were much appreciated…like boogie boards, towels, snorkel gear, and sand toys. We would definitely book this property again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Easy to get to, 5-minute walk to the pool and ocean, quiet and safe area. The condo was beautifully furnished and the hosts were extremely easy to communicate with. The renters might want to know, tho, that both bathrooms are downstairs. We loved our week there!

This place had everything we needed to be comfortable this week. The air conditioners worked great and kept us cool. We loved hanging out at the pavilion near the pool to relax, listen to the waves and just enjoy Hawaii! It was heartwarming to see the Lahaina is coming back strong. These are good people and we loved being in the neighborhood.

We had a fantastic stay at this Lahaina VRBO and would absolutely book it again. The condo was extremely well appointed, very clean, and furnished beautifully with comfortable linens and quality furnishings throughout. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to cook meals during our stay.There were also a lot of thoughtful touches that made the experience even better. The lanai was beautiful and furnished with comfortable seating, perfect for relaxing. The unit had everything you could need for beach days, including four beach chairs in great shape, a sturdy umbrella, a small cooler for picnic lunches, plus boogie boards, snorkel gear, and pool floats.The condo comfortably slept our group of six. The master bedroom sleeps two, and the upstairs loft area comfortably sleeps four. One thing to note is that both bathrooms are located on the main floor, so there is not a bathroom upstairs. This wasn’t an issue for our group, but it could be something to consider for anyone with mobility challenges. The full-size washer and dryer were also very convenient to have during our stay.The resort itself is beautiful, with two pools available, including an infinity pool overlooking the ocean. During whale season we were able to see whales right from the condo and pool area, which was incredible. The grounds were neat and well maintained, and the residents around the property were very friendly.The location worked really well for exploring Maui.

We’re so glad to hear the condo had everything your group needed and that you enjoyed the comfortable furnishings, well-stocked kitchen, and the extra beach gear for your Maui adventures. It’s great that the lanai and ocean front pool were perfect spots to relax, and seeing whales right from the property during whale season is always such a special experience! We truly appreciate you choosing to stay with us and would love to welcome you back to Lahaina again in the future.

Relaxing time

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: The description and photos displayed are very accurate. We had everything we needed (boogie boards, beach chairs, umbrella, snorkeling gear). However one of the beach chairs strap was torn but was still useable. If going to restaurants, you have to drive as the only open places are only by the local Safeway. Otherwise we had a fantastic and relaxing time.

Perfect larger family vacay property

87-1 couldn’t be more of a perfect vacation rental. The condo was well stocked with all the comforts of home and accommodated my family of 5. The front lanai is very peaceful as well as the back lanais which includes a bbq outdoor shower and all the beach toys surf boards, chairs ice chests, everything a family would need for a day at the beach. The gated community is well kept with three pools and access to the ocean.

Wonderful place!

This place was perfect for our 11-night stay in Maui! Our family of 5 fit well; the upstairs bedroom was great! Plenty of room for the kids. The master had plenty of room, too. Air conditioning throughout with a splits, so it was very comfortable even though it was screaming hot outside. The kitchen could use some new and bigger pans/pots, but that's a minor point. We cooked a bit in the kitchen and the stove and oven were very nice. The dining table was beautiful, but the benches were unstable if the weight on them wasn't centered. The check-in process was seamless, and the house was extremely well-appointed. There were beach towels, boogie boards, sand toys, snorkeling gear, and even a grill with appropriate utensils and grilling baskets. We wanted to stay longer. None of us were ready to leave. A wonderful place for a Maui base. Lahaina is a great town, too, and they are trying to rebuild after the 2023 fires. Lots to do in the area!
