205-2 Ocean View

Beautiful stay!

Manager's Response

I did a quick review on our condo before we left Maui. Now I’d like to expand on that! We absolutely loved our condo. It was even better than we hoped. My traveling partner had stayed in these units many years ago with her sister & hubby, so she was familiar with them. I hope to stay here again someday in the near future. The unit was large, clean, tropically decorated, had all the essentials to start our stay, great view of the ocean, clean, etc. Dave & Cathy answered any questions promptly. We felt totally safe in this condo, hated to leave. I’m so glad Dave took time to correct someone’s “one star” to five stars, which is what they meant, as they gave it a glowing review! The photo in the brochure does not do it justice, as it was even better than portrayed (which hardly EVER happens)! Give this a try. You won’t be disappointed!

Our unit was great for us. Roomy and comfortable. The king size bed was lovely as were the linens. The kitchen is small but nicely outfitted and when I called the management for some items I needed, they responded quickly. The view is private and great to have without being an ocean front suite. The lanai has broken tiles and this needs to be repaired. The photo is outdated and the soft furnishings need to be refreshed. The chair in the photo is no longer there. It is a quiet unit as long as you speak to the neighbour about his surround sound TV.

After having to change and rebook our trip to Maui four times, due to Covid, we finally made it to Puamana and our favourite place to stay. We think Dave and Cathy for their patience with allowing us to change our booking multiple times. 205-2 is the perfect place for us. It has easy access in the complex to parking and the lanai, though not right on the water, has a terrific view of the ocean between two ocean front units. The actual place is clean and well maintained, and has everything we might need from a BBQ, beach chairs and umbrella to a small cooler to take to the beach. This was our second stay in this unit, after staying i. A few others, and we look forward to our next stay. This is our go to unit from now on.

My wife and I really enjoyed this great, peaceful and quiet place, Serenaded by the sea waves. Very convenient amenities, beautiful and well kept gardens, near ocean shores and the private beach was a plus. Definitely a come back retreat.

Nice condominium community. Well kept area. Not a party scene. Quiet and relaxing.

Great space for a long stay, we felt right at home . Amazing view just steps from the water. Everything was so clean and the community was quiet, private, and accommodating! Will stay here again!

I can't say enough about this gem of a property in Puamana. First of all, I love Puamana and have stayed there 3 previous times in different condos.

This particular location can't be beat. From the lanai, there is a great view between two other condos out to the ocean. We sat out there in the mornings with coffee and the nights with a glass of wine and just stared at the ocean.

The condo has it's own gated entrance so you don't have to access Puamana through the main gate. A gate opener is provided so it's easy to access your private covered parking spot and walk to the condo. Helpful when carrying groceries or luggage.

The condo was clean and well stocked with towels, beach towels and two beach chairs!

I can't say enough about the rental company. I had user error on working the lock on the front door and they came right out to assist.

I can't wait to stay there again.

This Vacation rental was perfect for us! And not to mention the most comfortable bed we have ever slept in! Rental had everything we needed and the air worked great! The view to the ocean was just perfect and we are staying here again next year.

Relaxing and beautiful location. Only issue was that the sleeper sofa had a cover on it and the sofa looked to be in really bad shape underneath. Luckily we didn’t need it. Otherwise we loved our experience and are booked for next year.

I was impressed with the location and also being able to access a contact to help explain how to get into the unit etc. Thanks

Even though we have been to Puamana many times before, this is the first time in this unit, and we would go back to 205-2 anytime, and hope to in the future. The owners were great to deal with and the on-site management was helpful and available when needed. We were pleasantly surprised with a new propane BBQ, as the listing had stated that there was a charcoal BBQ. We made good use of this feature!
The king bed was very comfortable and the A/C in all areas was a must for comfort.
All in all, we had a perfect stay and loved this unit. We would recommend it highly and can't wait to visit again!
Thanks so much Cathy and Dave!

This is a great property to own, but not to rent for vacation. Almost everything in this gated community is arranged for the comfort of property owners but not visitors.
1) The quiet hours are from 10 pm to 8 am, and exactly at 8 am gardeners started to mow grass in front of our rental property using a tractor! The noise was so loud that it seemed like someone was cutting our bed with a chainsaw. This was very disappointing, since on vacations I personally prefer to sleep long.
2) Kid-friendly (shallow) pools close at 8 pm for the comfort of property owners. So if you travel with toddlers - no swimming for you after sunset.
3) Check out time at 10 am seems unnecessary, since check in time is 3 pm. This is strange that 5 hours is not enough for them to clean a 1 bedroom condo.
4) Here is a line from the rental contract: " CheckOut time is 10:00 am. Housekeeping will show up at 10:00 on checkout day and guest will be charged $50 per hour after 10:00am". This doesn't sound very friendly to me. This sounds like "give us money and get out".
5) We paid $208 (!) cleaning fee during reservation. And on top of that they want (citing the contract): "remove all trash, start the dishwasher to help our cleaning service as they have limited turnaround time between occupancies. Any gratuity you care to leave for them would be appreciated." So $208 does not include removing trash, cleaning dishes and tipping cleaning service?..
6) Gym is $10 a day!
7) Big ants (2-3 a day) were found in kitchen and bathroom.

On the positive side: this is a nice clean condo, with big rooms, big comfortable bed, wonderful bathroom with natural light / roof window, wonderful view, good neighbors. Still, as visitors, we felt uncomfortable in this community for the reasons listed above.

PERFECTION!! Great location! Gorgeous property! Fair pricing. The property was fully equipped and they thought of ALL the tiny details, including a clean sponge and dish-washing soap. LOVED it and will DEFINITELY be back!!!!!

Puamana is located at the near end of Lahaina, leaving all of old town in walking distance. Quiet pools, nice grounds, easy to get to with parking. Lots of chances for great memories. Accomodations were comfortable and above average, with nice linens and bedding - great sleeping. Great AC, and everything worked! Some nicer kitchen stuff (knives, pans, etc) would be helpful, but all usable. But the staff that supported us were all fantastic - their service/support was above and beyond. 100% yes on recommendation and value.

Great condo in Puamana! Lovely to have the view from the lanai. Well equipped, and grateful to have Rick nearby in case of questions.
Thank you!

We had 8 awesome days in this condo, it was clean, comfortable king size bed, large shower, all the pots and pans and dishes you need, a Weber bbq, a better view then you see in the photos, it was perfect for the 2 of us. We walked into town almost every day either on the beach or the road it’s about a mile in. Great restaurants like Kimos, Paia Fishmarket in Lahaina, my favorite, local dive bar Spanky's great beer great burgers, it’s on the way to town, if you like aa bowls there a great food truck Bayo. The clubhouse has the best spot for sunset take a glass of wine sit in a lounge chat and enjoy it’s the best. Very friendly place
