About this property

129-2 Oceanview Escape in Puamana

Welcome to your peaceful ocean‑view retreat in Puamana, a beloved 30‑acre gated community on the sunny south end of Lahaina. While Lahaina continues its long and heartfelt recovery, Puamana remains a serene and resilient shoreline haven—lined with charming townhomes, swaying palms, and a stretch of beach once part of Maui’s historic sugar plantation.

Our centrally located townhome offers the perfect blend of comfort, privacy, and island charm.

✨ Community & Amenities
Although the historic clubhouse and a few amenities were lost in the 2023 fire, Puamana continues to offer a uniquely relaxing island experience. Guests enjoy:

The spectacular Ocean Pool, fully rebuilt and reopened in October 2025—perched right at the water’s edge with unforgettable Pacific views

The Dolphin Pool, open and family‑friendly

Lush tropical grounds, quiet walking paths, and Puamana’s signature sense of calm

🏡 Inside the Townhome
Thoughtfully furnished and fully equipped, Unit 129‑2 includes everything you need for a comfortable stay:

King bedroom with cooling AC and ceiling fans

Sleeper sofa in the living area for additional guests

Two full bathrooms for added convenience

Washer/dryer, air‑conditioning, and high‑speed Wi‑Fi

TVs in the living room and bedroom, plus a stereo system

Fully stocked kitchen with stove, microwave, dishwasher, and all essentials

Private lanai perfect for outdoor dining, morning coffee, or unwinding in the warm Maui breeze

BBQ grill for easy island-style meals

🌅 Location
Puamana sits just south of Lahaina’s historic district. While much of Lahainatown was tragically lost, the surrounding areas are beginning to rebuild, and the rest of Maui remains open for exploration—from world‑class beaches to scenic drives, dining, snorkeling, and more.

💛 A Peaceful Maui Escape
Whether you’re dreaming of a romantic getaway, a quiet coastal retreat, or a restorative vacation surrounded by natural beauty, our ocean‑view townhome offers a warm, tranquil place to relax and reconnect.

Amazing Stay!

This unit was a fantastic place to stay for our small family of three. It had everything we needed. Wonderful grassy area in back to play and right near the pool. The front Lanai was also lovely with wonderful ocean views! Would stay here again and would definitely recommend Puamana as a wonderful place to stay right near Lahina town!

Beautiful Location/Great Amenities

My boyfriend and I absolutely loved our stay here. It was a quick 2 minute walk to the beach. The location is very close to downtown Lahaina, which made food options endless. The neighborhood was very quiet with beautiful trees and flowers. The wifi was very fast and the kitchen was well equipped. We enjoyed that there were 2 bathrooms and laundry in unit. Would definitely stay here again!

Amazing neighborhood, cute spot, very clean, a little tired

I love this neighborhood on Maui, it feels like a hollywood set in the best way. Quaint with unbelievable views of the mountains and ocean. This unit was exactly as expected, very clean, hand had beach equipment to borrow. The unit itself is a little tired and could use a tiny bit of love (and maybe some shampoo/conditioner?), but I’d gladly stay here again, and will definitely look for APVR rentals in the future as well.

Quiet and beautiful, just across the street from Ocean

What can we say…WOW!!! From the moment we arrived on the property we were in love! We were located just across the street from the ocean and the swimming pool was just to the back of us. The unit was very clean upon arrival and was perfect for the two of us. It was supplied with everything we needed. Take a walk to the ocean out the front door and turn around, the view of the mountains is just breathtaking! We will definitely be coming back in the future and will want to stay in the same unit. Thank you Dave for allowing us the use of your unit!!

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: We loved this condo as it had everything we wanted and needed. The sunny front patio had an amazing view of the ocean and we could see the whales jumping and the sun setting from the lounge chairs or the table where we ate meals. The back patio also had a table, gas grill and chairs and was more private and shady with a quick jaunt to the pool. It even included a cooler, beach chairs, umbrella and plenty of towels and kitchen items plus the bed was comfy. We would rent this again in a heartbeat.

Heaven at Puamana !

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was my 4th visit in a row to 129-2, although the unit is very dated it is in a nice location, close to the Ocean pool and Clubhouse. The kitchen has what you need, there are ample beach chairs and towels.The staff is on it should a problem arise. The unit needs all new area rugs and the curtains were replaced. There is alot to do within walking distance to Lahaina, a Sunday street faire and lots of places to eat breakfast/lunch and dinner.We will return next year for another nice visit.

Puamana never disappoints!

You will love this awesome Puamana community! The grounds, pools, clubhouse are great. The unit has new appliances, fabulous towels, linens, infinite amount of kitchen utensils, Sonos sound system and enough good hangers! Yay! Communication w host was good. To rate 5 stars, I’d love to see updated bathrooms, a step stool in the kitchen (cabinets are super high), Saran Wrap or foil or ziplock bags. Furniture has changed and updated photos would also be appreciated. Would be nice to be offered a little welcome bag of Kona coffee and a walking map of the area to take along. Don’t hesitate to book Maui Adventures for activities and book restaurant reservations well in advance. Overall a great place to stay on Maui!

Our stay in 129-2; 10 nites 12-26-22 to 1-5-23

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Loved the security of APVR, however once outside, did not feel secure. Firecrackers (2x) were thrown from cars at us near Lahaina; many homeless people in Lahaina, and town is starting to look shabby. The noise level on highway is very loud, with racing vehicles, loud vehicles, etc., so we thought it was funny that we told to NOT beep our car - insignificant - compared to the road noise. Our front door screen door, would not close not latch. There was a dead cockroach in the kitchen. All the West facing windows had NO window coverings - thus, a person in the Kitchen, hall and both bathrooms could be easily seen from outside. I bought tension rods, and put-up my own curtains, which I removed upon leaving. The unit 1Bd, 2Ba was perfect size for us, and neat and clean. The bathtub was VERY slippery, and needs a rubber mat; I placed wash clothes, to avoid slipping. The maintenance workers came twice in 10 days, and again, their blowers are VERY loud.

Gated Community close to stoney beach

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 129-2 Garden Oceanview had everything we need to explore Maui + it was very close to Lahaina and therefore it's super convenient. We read the reviews left by previous guests and therefore we prepared and nothing was too much of a surprise. We actually booked 1 night too long and the owners kindly refunded some of the money for that final day we weren't there. Notes: The decor is a bit tired and it's probably in need of modernising a bit. The cleaners let the owners down a bit as there was some parts that weren't too clean when we arrived. There were snorkels, sea shoes, paddles etc in a cupbaord in the yard but they werre all slung in there, many covered in sand and untidy, so we didnt feel like rummaging through them all. The BBQ didn't have any gas left so we bought some steaks for the BBQ and had to grill them in the end in the kitchen - the owners brought gas a day or two after. The aircons are dated and loud, so we needed ot use a fan inthe night as the aircon kept us awake. Postitives: Internet is good Peaceful setting. Nice community. Can stroll down to the beach easily. Good facilities.

These are older construction so the kitchen could stand to be updated, but everything worked fine and it was decently stocked. Furniture was upgraded and the space felt nice. Maui was in some sort of drought (bummer) so there was a little ant problem, but hosts were responsive and they weren't like CA ants.
