A week in Paradise

This property is perfect for families - beautiful swimming pools, tennis court, lots of play areas, private backyard and open floor plan. We really enjoyed having the bikes and went daily into Lahaina to get exercise or play basketball. Location in the complex is perfect and Puamana is a wonderul relaxing place to stay. We loved walking to the clubhouse each evening to watch the sunset.

We had a wonderful time at Puamana! We can't believe that we didn't know about it until now. We loved sitting on the lanai, with it's large expanse of grass and tropical vegetation. We also loved to take the one minute walk to the clubhouse and oceanside and sit with a glass of wine to watch the Maui sun go down. Everyone one so friendly! We will definitely go back!!!

Puamana Townhome

Date of Stay: 03/10/12 Review Submitted: 03/19/12

This is a well equipped, comfortable home away from home feeling townhouse. With huge garden like common areas, a fantastic pool, and a surfing beach right there, along with a happy but not party like atmosphere. My teenage girls and I were completely at home here, and the owner could not have been more accommodating, including answering, while we were there, some questions about touristy things which he didn't need to. It is not sterile shiny new, and we like that. It is clean and inviting. I will recommend this to any of my friends.

We enjoyed our stay in the townhouse in Puamana. The home had all the neccesities and more. Just like being at home. Puamana is a lovely community and an easy walking distance to the town of Lahaina. It was wonderful to sit on the lanai in the morning and watch the birds and see all the greenery. The clubhouse was close and a great place to watch the sun go down over the ocean. Lots of whales this time of year.

Authentic Hawaii

Date of Stay: 02/18/12 Review Submitted: 02/29/12

It felt like an authentic Hawaii experience If you wanted quiet it was there but if you wanted nightlife, Lahaina was a short distance away. The beach had great surf for boogie boards and true surfers spent hours out in the ocean. Tennis was available across the street. The accomodations were quite comfortable and the internet access kept the teenagers occupied and happy.

I just wanted to let you and your family know what a great time we had at your hale and can't thank you enough. Puamana was such a good fit for where we are with our family and who we are as a family. We surfed everyday, watched every sunset and the boys brought me plumerias for my hair everyday (not sure which of your neighbors trees got raided). Lots of time was spent on the lanai watching the boys running after geckos. Luckily for everyone involved (geckos included) they were unsuccessful. We look forward to emailing you with our next set of travel dates!

Christmas in Paradise

Date of Stay: 12/23/11 Review Submitted: 02/29/12

My family and I have rented at Puamana the last two Christmas seasons, and have already reserved for this coming year. We have been coming to Hawaii for a number of years and stumbled on the web page for Puamana two years ago. It looked great so we took a chance, sight unseen. We found that the location and description accurately reflected the property and amenities. The property was clean and well maintained. While eating on the lanai is great, it is also just a short walk into Lahaina and excellent restaurants. Our son surfed off the property beach (not Jaws) while his kids played in the pools. The owner was very helpful in answering questions by both email and phone. I would definitely recommend Puamana to friends and relatives, but I don't want too much competition in renting there myself!

Stayed at Puamana 8-2 and loved it. Great spot, beautiful well kept grounds and close to Lahina. The Condo we extremely comfortable and had everything you could need. The lanai was a great place to sit and bbq after a day of adventuring. Will definitely be back!

We spent the Winter vacation at this comfortable townhouse at Puamana. It was well equipped with many nice extras like: beach towels, bikes, boogie boards and most everything anyone but Martha Stewart would need in a kitchen. We enjoyed bbq's on the lanai during the evening and after the leisurely stroll into Lahaina for shave ice.

This awesome townhouse is in a gated community and offers the ideal location for beachfront dining and endless shopping in Lahaina Town. The unit is spacious, nicely furnished, and fully equipped with all the amenities of home. The beautiful lanai, with lush flowers, beckons you to sit and relax after a day at the majestic ocean pool, or fire up the BBQ for some home cooked grilling. Very affordable for a family. I can't wait to go back and will definitely tell my friends about it.

I spent a week at this great location. The townhouse was wonderful and had everything you would want. With a surf break and pool less than 200 feet away, tennis court that you can serve from the front door and town a short walk, you can't find a better location. I look forward to my next stay.

We spent 11 wonderful days at 8-2. The town home is nicely appointed, and feels comfortable like a home. Our family loved being there, and especially appreciated the lack of mildew and bugs. (Last year, we stayed in another Puamana unit with both problems.) The large yard beyond the lanai is lovely. The unit is bright and cheerful, clean, well organized, well stocked, and conveniently located. It is a short walk into Lahaina and to the beach access. The mountain pool is just across the street, and the clubhouse very handy. Thanks to Kathy and her family for the use of their home and for her prompt replies to our email communications.

We were fortunate enough to stay at Puamana in February. The accomodations were perfect for us. Comfortable beds, clean sheets and towels, and plenty of room. Our two girls had the upstairs loft to call their own. We loved eating our breakfast out on the lanai every morning and slept very comfortably every night. The townhouse offered everything as far as ammenities. The grounds were absolutely gorgeous. We swam in the beautiful ocean pool and watched the whales as we lounged. The walk to Lahani is great as well. Would we stay in townhouse 8-2 again? DEFINATELY!!!

We've stayed here several years, and plan to continue doing so. The owners are great to deal with, and the place is perfect for us. Whale watching from the adult pool, tennis whenever we want, beautiful sunsets from the clubhouse, an easy walk into Lahaina. Great accomodations at a terrific location We will be back as long as they will have us

We stayed here for 2 weeks over spring break in 2004. Puamana is a great place to stay, very quiet and calm compared to other condo developments on Maui. This condo is perfect for a family, the kids slept upstairs and had their own TV to watch. My kids loved the pools and I loved watching the sunset from the pool by the ocean. I also liked being able to walk into the town for dinner or shopping. The kitchen is great, it has everything you need for a stay. We loved our stay here!

Thank you Sumners for allowing us to share your little corner of paradise. Puamana is a beautiful, well kept community and your unit (8-2) offered our family a feeling of being at home. We really liked the privacy & beauty of the lanai & the upstairs/downstairs separation & privacy of the sleeping accommodations. It was also very nice to have the use of: a BBQ, coolers, beach towels, mats & umbrellas, baby stroller, toys, etc. THANK YOU

The place had all that we could have asked for. Thank you so much Kathy and Greg for the opportunity for us to spend our Honeymoon in your wonderful house. Beach access was simple just a couple hundred yards away and regularly frequented by the two of us, downtown Lahaina was just a couple minutes away by foot or bike, we absolutely fell in love with it! Having all of the amenities of home makes going for a two week vacation a breeze. Being Northwesterners we truly appreciated the air-conditioning! The secure feeling of being within Puamana was great, what a beautiful place, aside from the great ocean views and nearby beach access we loved the enormous Mango trees in the courtyard and all of the Plumeria trees too, not to mention the huge banana tree in the backyard. We plan on making many return visits to your wonderful Hawaiian getaway in the future. Maholo, Luke and Julie Breazeal

We so appreciate the use of your place. How fun! The location is wonderful - walked home from Lahaina easily. Thoroughly enjoyed our week - look forward to returning soon. Grateful for the laid-bak atmosphere of a condo - especially for the kids. They loved the loft, the geckoes, the bananas out back! Thanks again -
