About this property
129-3 Puamana. Imagine enjoying this beautiful contemporary coastal home!
In the wake of the Lahaina fire, Puamana continues to embody the spirit of Hawaiian resilience, even as the surrounding landscape has changed. While some amenities were lost, this coastal community remains a beautiful and peaceful retreat.
129-3 Pualei Drive, completely rebuilt in 2017 with modern coastal living in mind, stands strong. After a day at the beach, step into your contemporary home and rinse off the sand in your warm outdoor shower. Enjoy the sunset from your front lanai, and prepare dinner in your updated upstairs kitchen, which overlooks the ocean and palm trees. The outdoor barbeque is perfect for grilling, and the private patio on the mountainside offers an intimate spot for gatherings.
The home’s unique reverse floor plan provides privacy, with the kitchen and living area located upstairs, featuring vaulted ceilings and large windows that let in plenty of light. Split AC units keep each room cool and comfortable, while the downstairs bedrooms open to three distinct patio areas, designed to embrace the island’s indoor-outdoor lifestyle.
Though the fire affected much of the area, Puamana’s 30 acres of oceanfront tropical gardens are gradually recovering. The community remains a serene and low-density escape, offering seasonal sandy beaches and nearby surf spots. While some beloved facilities, such as the gym and clubhouse, were lost, the spirit of Puamana is alive and well, and neighbors continue to share stories and support each other.
The details we love about 129-3 Pualei Drive include cool blue-grey walls, plantation-style finishes, driftwood-style flooring, contemporary cabinetry with stainless fixtures, white Cambria quartz countertops, walk-in showers, recessed lighting, extra storage, and a downstairs mini-fridge for cocktail hour on the front patio. Despite the challenges faced by the community, this home offers a modern, serene retreat with the charm and beauty of island living.
Unfortunately, the historic clubhouse and some amenities were lost to the fire, and two of the three swimming pools, including the adult oceanfront pool, are currently undergoing maintenance. However, Puamana continues to provide a unique island experience, making it the perfect place to unwind and relax. The Dolphin Pool remains open and available for guests to enjoy.

My wife and I spent our 25th Wedding Anniversary at 129-3. This was our 3rd trip to Puamana, first in this unit. We believe it was by far the nicest. Everything was in top notch condition and the view was outstanding! Thank you.

Our family had a great time at Puamana. It was peaceful and beautiful. This property offers pretty views and a number of seating areas and patios. We would come again!
We had a great stay at Dave’s place in Puamana. The location was spectacular for our family trip. Right next to the pool and a very short walk to the beach access. It was even better than the pictures, and we were pleasantly surprised the moment we walked in.

129-3 Puamana is a beautiful place to stay while in Lahaina. Great layout, beautiful lighting and windows, comfortable beds, lovely showers. Quiet neighborhood. We spent most of our day out and about and it was a comfortable inviting space to come back to each evening. Would 100% stay there again if in the area.

A PERFECT VACATION RENTAL
Puamana is fantastic. The neighborhood is beautiful, the neighbors are lovely and the house is spectacular. Just steps to the water with a clear view of the surf and middle reef. Perfect size for 2 adults and 2 teens with ample shared living area and a large kitchen. The location is literally central to everything Maui has to offer. We will definitely be back and most certainly will aim to stay in Puamana again.

Reviewer Comments:
This is the second stay at this exceptional unit. Loved everything it has to offer; location, amenities, hospitality. Can’t go wrong with renting this spectacular place.
We spent four nights here with my wife and two tween/teen boys. The property was exceedingly clean and had everything that we needed. The beach was a 90-second walk from the unit, so there was almost no effort to see the sunset each night. We didn’t walk to Front Street, but you certainly could if you wanted to skip parking hassles (about 1.2 miles to Cheeseburger in Paradise).
This was our very first trip to Maui and I did a lot research before deciding on this place and it did not disappoint! Dave's house was clean and beautiful just like in the pictures. We loved everything about the house from the decor to the views to the location and it had everything we needed. Parking was only a few steps away and so was the pool and beach! The property management checked in on us a few times and I knew if I needed anything I could easily reach out to them. We're definitely staying in Dave's house next time we're in Maui!

Excellent house , spotlessly clean and exactly as description. Puamana is a lovely resort with plenty of amenities and landscaped gardens. House was just a very short walk to a lovely beach and there are pools and tennis courts. We were able to walk into town which was about 15 - 20 minute walk. Communication with property manager was great and sorted out small issue straight away. Highly recommend rental property.

We really enjoyed the updated and clean unit. The location to the water and Lahaina was perfect. Very nice bathrooms and walk-in showers. Also really liked the wet bar and drink fridge on the first floor when using the front lanai. When we return, we'll definitely use APVR again.
Really enjoyed the stay here. The reverse floorplan allowed for a beautiful view from the areas we were in the most. The pictures don't do this place justice with how nicely it is finished and decorated. It was a great start to my sister-in-laws wedding trip.
The main critique about the property would be that the what we believed to be the water pump would go off in the second bedroom during the middle of the night which was very loud and disruptive to our sleep. Also, adding a floor fan in the room could be beneficial for people who would like things a little more cool!
Thank you for having us!
