20-4 Oceanfront

We were looking to extend our stay in Hawaii with a trip to Maui and were surprised by the prices of hotel rooms when I happened across this property. It was perfect. Close to downtown. The property was well maintained and right on the ocean. Everyone was very helpful and friendly. If we return to Maui we would definitely stay again

Let me start by saying we have stayed numerous times in this particular unit which says a lot! Its in such a lovely location with only some grass and palm trees between your door and the ocean with lots of ocean wave noise...
Having said that do be aware that the unit itself is in a very poor state. The carpet (really, who would put carpet in an oceanside unit?) is quite revolting and the furniture is old and worn out (for instance some of the drawers in the bedroom hardly open as they are so rusted!). However, the kitchen and bathrooms are reasonably decent and useable.
The poor state of the unit and furnishings is reflected in the realistic daily rate which, given the location, could be so much higher if it was properly renovated.
In summary, this unit works for us given the superb location and we know and accept the lower standards internally. We like it so much we will be going back to it again!

Very responsive management team. The property needs some love, new flooring and a proper air conditioning system...and a coat of paint!

If you like to surf or paddleboard and stay right on the water with a gorgeous sunset view every night this place is paradise! Set inside a quiet, safe, low key condo community, with pool and beach access, this little bungalow was a perfect relaxing getaway for two. Be sure to rent beach cruisers because downtown Lahaina is just up the road. We loved it!

The location was perfect. Two complaints, the carpet was not clean and the unit didnt have a washer or dryer. We were there for 10 days and that didnt make us happ.

They should change the rental title to: (Not so Charming Oceanfront Unit). This unit is in very serious need of upgrading. We experienced a ant infestation on the kitchen counter tops for the first 4 of our 7 day stay, no food items were ever left out on the countertops at anytime during our stay that would have attracted the ants. We actually purchased our own spray can of insecticide from a local market to combat the issue after contacting the maintenance company who responded to our trouble call within an hour and sprayed around the exterior of the unit but never checked back to see if the issue had been resolved or not. Stained carpeting, outdated and uncomfortable furniture, sliding glass screen doors that had broken wheels and were difficult to open and close, the bay window curtain draw cord system was inoperable so the curtains had to be propped open with the use of the living room couch. The unit had a mobile AC unit in the living room which was inadequate to properly cool the unit. When we gave our family members, who were staying in a 3 bedroom unit on the property, a tour of our unit their response was, "we're so sorry". Not exactly the response you would want to hear from anyone. The unit does have a awesome view of the ocean but the bay window has been etched by age which makes it look dirty, we tried to clean it twice but it appears that water stains have etched into the glass surface. The counters, stove, and refrigerator were smeared, the hood and oven handles had not been cleaned (we did that). The furnishings had not been dusted, and was especially dirty at the chair set and table legs. In short, I wouldn't recommend this unit to any of my family or friends. However, the Puamana grounds are beautiful and are very well maintained.

Our condo location was perfect! The grounds at this resort are spectacular and well taken care of in a spectacular setting. Our unit was steps away from the water and the bed was excellent—as was the remodeled bathrooms. We had everything we needed and Dave was very helpful
And responsive. We would stay here again!

We have stayed in Puamana for fifteen years and we know oceanside can take a toll. This unit was ok with a great view but the carpet was stained and the owner locked off the washer dryer. . For the price we were somewhat disappointed but had a great time. Owner could put some money into the unit and could probably obtain a reward with the additional revenue. Mahalo

Easy check in , great space, wonderful property

Perfectly situated right on the beach, quiet, and comfortable, we had a fabulous 8 days here

Words could not describe how much we enjoyed this experience. We loved every minute.

My daughter and I had a great time.

A few notes:

***Internet did not work at all. I work while I'm on vacation, so this was a major buzz kill. I had to access internet through my phone, which cost me over $750.

** I could not get couch to close properly.

** I was unable to fully lock the back sliding door.

Other than these items, we loved the place and had an awesome time.

Thanks

This worked out perfect for my son and I. Great location.

Simply the best place to stay on Maui!

Puamana is quite simply the most beautiful spot in the Hawaiian Islands!

What a wonderful unit this is wright on the water.
Watched whales from our window, This unit is just a few feet from the ocean.












This unit is right on the ocean. We watched whales jumping from our window.
The property is very quite yet just a short distance from all the action in old Lahaina town.

View is incredible. The ocean right outside this condo. And a nice lawn area with palms to watch sunsets. Parking is covered. Price reasonable for location. Unit is dated. Kitchen updated and nice. Bathrooms very dated. The only ac is a noisy portable floor unit in bedroom. Really not needed in rest of unit. Unit has carpet. Yuk. We fought ants the entire 10 day stay. In kitchen and one bathroom. Overall a good unit but needs updating. Not 4 or 5 start resort quality. But Puamana is excellent location when staying in/near Lahaina. Quiet and relaxed. Pool is nice and overlooks the ocean. Exercise room is $25/week.

Excellent location, good amenities, peaceful. Sales/Management team delivered on what they promised, Responsive to inquiries.

Excellent location, disappointing beach.

The one thing that would be better would be air conditioning...and the second shower needs to be replaced it really is not very pleasant...

Puamana is a perfect place if you are looking to escape the common resort style vacation typical in Maui. It is private, quiet, and mellow. Many of the people we met at Puamana live there full time. We found everyone to be very nice. The complex is safe and very well kept. The beach is small but this was not a problem because it was not crowded. The location was great. Lahaina is a cool town with all the tourist options. There are good restaurants and plenty of option to buy groceries if you don't want to eat out all the time. 20-4 is an incredible location. The unit was clean and everything was functional. The king bed is comfy. The sofa bed... not so much. Great for kids though. Overall, we loved it. I really can't imagine staying anywhere else on the south/west side of Maui.

Overall good as always. A few glitches: These is not one sharp knife anywhere and scissors are just as dull. The screen door on the bedroom lanai door has been broken for years and will not slide. The new air conditioner cannot be plugged into the wall outlet if you want the table lights in the living room to work. I poked a hole in the back of my hand while sleeping on the king bed due to a broken wire sticking out of the cane headboard.

Our place was unit 20-4. Oceanfront. The unit is not fancy, but very, very comfortable with two bathrooms (one has been updated. While the other one was not, it was totally fine). Kitchen had everything one might need. Bed was comfortable. Our son slept on the sofa without opening it (although we told him that he could have a bigger bed). He was very comfy sleeping on the sofa. You will need a car to go to Lahaina but it is very close (5 minutes away). The complex has a little exercise room. You can go swim in the ocean by walking 5 minutes where you can find sand. I would recommend this place very highly to someone who is not looking for fancy but homey and calm. We had a great time. Before coming, I called several times and each time, Dave or Cathy were very pleasant and helpful. We truly had a great time!

A great time however the carpets were in need of cleaning.

We rented this condo for a family friend and they loved it! Everything was clean and the view was amazing!!! They were even able to work it out for us to check in early because our friend arrived early to the island. Communication was great with managers, would highly recommend!! You cannot beat the view!

This property is centre ice Puamana, steps from the ocean. Yoga classes just outside front door! Not fancy, but, clean & comfortable. Terrific value for the price.

Ocean front and just the right size for a couple. Enjoyed having coffee each morning and watching the surfers in front of condo. One of the bathrooms has been totally updated, the other one still needs to update the shower (didn't use). Biggest downside of this cute cottage is no air conditioning if over 90F and no tropical breeze...which happened while we were there. Location overcomes the few things that still need updating.

Great, as expected. Professionally managed arrangements, and great app.

Perfect location right on the sea, near club house and adult pool.

Doesn't get much closer to the beach. No AC but didn't need it with the fabulous ocean breeze.

Sofa bed needs a new mattress, but otherwise great location and accommodations.

The service and accomodations were excellent.

Where else can you stay that is ocean front,(literally)at a reasonable price?
We will be back!

Located in a quiet and safe, gated community in walking distance of downtown Lahaina. Right on the water's edge a few yards from the pool and with beautiful lawn. Ideal. Minor downsides--No hotel-like services. No AC which might be nice to flip on as you retire for the evening. The unit provides no beach toys, no kitchen staples,condiments, etc unless left by previous renters. Privacy is mainly for two, even with second bathroom.

When comparing this to a high rise in Ka'anapali, there is no comparison. Unit was literally on the water. We hardly went out to dinner, because we always wanted to rush back here in order to see the sunset during every night of our stay. The unit is a little aged and could use some upgrades, but the location is premium, quiet and safe. My only real complaint is that you should be able to use the W/D, mainly the dryer for beach towels. Would definitley stay here again.

Our oceanside condo was right on the water, fabulous location and views. But, the condo needs updating badly. Stained shag carpet (should be replaced with tile), old shabby furniture, "king" bed was actually two twins pushed together...very uncomfortable. Security ticketed our vehicle even though we registered it and it had a sticker in the window, saying it was parked illegally. If only the decor was higher quality...also, no board games, puzzles. The remote for the bedroom TV never worked. I have to say that we were disappointed.

It is in a beautiful location with an awesome view. The bathrooms could use some updating. Washer/dryer would have also been welcomed. It was very clean. The unit does not have air conditioning. Overall though the unit was workable for a couple. This is our third stay in Puamana, the first time in this unit.

The location, the sound, the view, all were a perfect fit for Maui and Hawaii. Will select this rental anytime it is available. Mahalo

This property has a fantastic location! Great view, on the ocean front. Reservation process and follow up professionally handled . No washer & dryer ( inconvenient if staying longer than a week) and no wifi. Kitchen appliances are good and kitchen/beach accessories provided. Furniture is tired and in need of upgrade. Carpet is dated & soiled in obvious spots. A few cockroach encounters in the bathroom. With some decor upgrades & a washer/dryer, this condo could be great!

Love this place. Have used it at least 6 times. Needs a new BBQ. Screen off living room needs repair.

Condo was cosy and in a great location but was a little unclean. Blankets and towels stained, pillow looked like it had been vomited on. Was fine after we bought a cheap bedset from Walmart. Some of the screens in the windows were duct taped in leaving large gaps for critters to get in. Handles on bathroom doors had green oxidized slime which could not be wiped off. This left green on hands. Appliances were new and worked great and kitchen well equipped. Apvr staff very professional and fast

Exceeded our expecations

Maui has always provided a wonderful vacation experience and this occasion was one of the best. The condo was in a superb, private location with open views across the ocean to Lanai. The sounds of the ocean and sea breezes ensured a rejuventaing nights sleep. Whilst small, the condo was ideal for a couple. Throughly recommended.
