225-2 Oceanfront

Great Unit. Perfect location.
A couple of things that could have been better:
A few more items in the kitchen, ie a couple of cookie sheets would be nice.
Also, like most vacation rental units, the mattresses were old and should probably be replaced at some point soon.

This condo sits right on the ocean, with the ocean wall about 8 feet from the wonderfully private lanai. We've been vacationing in Maui condo's for 30 years and this is our favorite unit yet. Well appointed, spacious, private parking and an unbeatable ocean view. Our favorite feature was the turtles that pop up out front whenever the tide comes in. Highly recommended.

Dave (prop manager) was awesome to deal with, great communication and immediately fixed our minor issue with WiFi.
Rooms were great and location was perfect for us.

My family and I stayed here for ~7 nights and it was absolutely amazing. Our patio was right on the water and it made for an incredible setting to eat meals watching the sunset or just lay out and watch the ocean.
Dave, the owner, was incredibly nice and super responsive. We had a couple minor issues when we checked in and he was there within 10 minutes personally to fix the issues. We've stayed at many VRBOs, but I'd have to say this is right at the top of the list of places we have stayed. Would definitely recommend to anyone and we will definitely stay here again whenever we get chance to go back to Maui.

This unit was exactly as described, and we really enjoyed the privacy and stunning views. I highly recommend this oceanfront property.

Puamana outside of Lahaina is the perfect spot to relax and be as active as you choose to be. The unit is very comfortable and the view exceptional. Early morning walks or bike rides to Lahaina start the day and evenings on the private lanai are the heavenly to end your day. The owners are very attentive to your needs and we look forward to returning twice a year.

Outstanding trip, location was perfect

It was a truly magical vacation, to be frank we did not even want to leave the place, it was gorgeous to wake to the ocean and go to sleep hearing the waves.
You can see the turtles in the morning trying to eat, which is super cute. If you need to cook this house has all the amenities. Perfect place to feel like home.

This rental unit was lovely! It really made our family vacation top notch, we felt at home immediately and the unit was easy to settle into with comfy beds, all the amenities and plenty of space for all of us. We loved it, would stay in this unit again for sure.

We rented this unit and two others for our fiftieth wedding anniversary for our family of 19. We couldn’t have been more pleased! From the moment we opened the front door we experienced paradise! The views were breathtaking! We couldn’t have been more pleased! Although the pictures accurately depicted the quality of this fabulous place, they didn’t do it justice. It’s more beautiful than described!! The beds were perfect, the kitchen well stocked, the furnishings exquisite! In other words, THE PERFECT VACATION RENTAL!! Thank you Dave and Cathy for allowing us to share a perfect week with our family in your beautiful piece of paradise. We will definitely recommend it to everyone who wants to enjoy the sunrises sunsets and turtles from both upstairs and downstairs lanais. The only suggestion I have is to advise guests to enter the unit to pick up the opener for the parking space before trying to gain access to the parking area. Everything else documented. We didn’t want to leave!

This vacation rental was absolutely perfect! The view of the ocean/channel was spectacular. The patio was about 20 feet from the sea wall so sitting outside every evening watching the sunset and listening to the waves crash was my favorite part! The inside of the condo was perfect, excellent kitchen (with ocean view), three beautiful bedrooms (two with ocean views) each with their own nice newly renovated bathrooms. This condo is a 30 minute walk to Lahaina so you feel secluded from the cruise ship crowds while still being close enough to enjoy the cute downtown.

We had our family vacation in this beautiful 3brm condo, with our 2 adult daughters our son in-law and our 18 month granddaughter, it was perfect. It’s right on the ocean the 2 upstairs bedrooms had a view to, it has everything you need very comfortable we cooked most nights we had the most beautiful sunset why leave. The condo is easy, close to Lahaina for shopping and beaches. Condo is clean updated. We will be back!

This property was awesome!! Exactly like the pictures. The moment we opened the front door and saw the beautiful view straight thru the house we knew we picked the right place. Beautifully decorated, clean and very comfortable. Awesome two headed shower in the main master suite. We BBQ'd out on the grass several times on a Weber. My husband's favorite. And kitchen was fully equipped for all our meals. Lahaina was minutes away and so was Safeway. The 32 acres are immaculate and Rick the property manager was very friendly and Dave the owner was at our door almost immediately when we had to call for the half baths toilet ailment. Fixed spot on. The dinner table and chairs and lounge chairs on the the covered Lanai were welcoming and comfy. Looking forward to many more visits!!

We love Puamana Estates and stay there four times a year. This is our favorite unit. The location is divine, and the home is super comfortable and well appointed. We love to cook, and the kitchen is very well-appointed. There is no better place to spend the mornings and afternoons than on the lanai watching the turtles and the baby sharks.

Beautiful property, a wonderful vacation.

The place was beautiful. Everything you need and more to have a great time. Rick, the landlord was very nice and helpful. I asked if the place had an iron, which it was suppose to but didn't. Without me asking him to find one for me because my wife's sister had brought a steamer. Next thing I know he's knocking on the door with an iron in his hand. Thanks so much. I had the most wonderful time and seemed like a week was just not enough. i bought boogie boards and fishing poles and went ahead and left it there for the next family so that they can enjoy them too as well. I hope to come back to this place as soon as possible. Thanks so much everyone!!!!!!

This is a beautiful property, it is spotlessly clean, has every amenity you could want and is in a perfect location. I have already recommended it to a friend who is booking it right now...

We loved this property and want to stay there again. Best location in the complex. Nicely decorated. Really loved it.

We did this trip with 6 other couples all staying in Puamana rentals. Our home was exactly as the photos depicted. Very well stocked with almost all the necessities one would expect in a home rental. We thoroughly enjoyed not having to go out for every meal and loved being able to stay @home and enjoy the magnificent view and sunsets. The bathrooms were very nice, the decor showed the owners effort in making it a place you would want to revisit. I took several recipes with me making cooking a pure delight. We rented bikes and rode or walked into Lahaina, often, enjoying the proximity to all the shops and restaurants. On a scale of 1-10, it was definitely a 10!!

I am very picky and careful when I book a place to stay. I have limited vacation and I want to make sure that I will not be disappointed. 225-2 was beautiful and very clean! I liked that it was on the Front St end of the complex where it was much more private and quiet.

This home is perfect for the quiet retreat with everything you need. The interior is lovely. The mattresses are all comfortable. Bathrooms are beautiful and all the amenities you need. The kitchen is equipped with all kitchen appliances you need to make wonderful meals. It is far from the sandy beach if you are looking for that but otherwise it is fantastic

We've stayed at many homes in Puamana. This home absolutely is off-the-charts amazing! It was perfect for our group of five, especially for my 75 year old mother who had the floor bedroom with the easy walk-in shower. The kitchen was beyond functional with plenty of dishes, silverware, storage containers, etc. The a/c was always a plus on some of the warmer days and the drop-down blinds on the lanai were also a plus. While we missed the whale sightings, the waters out front were filled with turtles bobbing about. This was mesmerizing and so relaxing. After staying a Puamana many times, we've grown to appreciate the separate gate access. It is a very private setting indeed.
All five of our group were thoroughly content with our stay and were sad to leave.

Relaxing in this beautiful oceanfront home is a piece of cake. The view is apparent before you even get through the front door & the moment you step inside you are mesmerized. The home has a comfortable sectional in the living area, a nice sized dining table & 2 lounge chairs on the lanai & a beautiful well stocked kitchen that has a giant island with 2nd sink & breakfast bar. There's also a powder room in the common area for guest to use. The 3 bedrooms are roomy and comfortable with large, nicely decorated bathrooms attached & the 2 upstairs have sliders that open to a large lanai. The oceanfront adult pool is a short walk up the path near the rec room & the grounds are nice to walk around too.
You can easily walk into town from this unit as it's only about a mile to the banyan tree.
The owners & on site property management are all super friendly.
We hope to stay here again soon!

This was our second time renting this fabulous unit. We stayed 2 years ago for 1 week and were lucky enough to have it for 2 weeks this year. 6 of us (3 couples) and a couple of small babies. The 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms are very convenient and the unit itself is wonderfully finished. We enjoyed sunrise coffees every morning and looking for turtles off the grass right in front of the unit and sunset cocktails every evening before dining al fresco on the patio. The view cannot be beat. Very private location within Puamana and closest to town for short walk in. We enjoyed the kids pool and adult pool on site. Sad to leave as always and look forward to our next stay.

We were in Hawaii for the wedding of the daughter of a dear friend, first stop Lahaina. The property was so perfectly located for all of the things we wanted to do before the wedding. Despite some fabulous restaurant choices nearby the kitchen was so well equipped and the lanai right on the water that we opted for sunset dinners in. The setting, the amenities and the helpfulness of the owners made it storybook perfect. We almost didnt want to write the review out of sheer selfishness not to share!

It doesn't get much better than this. The condo itself is very nice, the view is amazing, and the location is perfect. You can even watch the see turtles in the morning from the lanai. If you are considering this place, just book it! You won't be disappointed.

We stayed in 225-2 during the week of Thanksgiving. The location was outstanding and the unit immaculate.

We had a great rental experience for our trip. We had no issues and would recommend using APVR. We hope to plan another trip in the upcoming years and would love to stay here again.

Of all the places we have stayed in the great state of Hawaii, this outshines them all. The condo had all amenities one could hope for and the grounds are lovely. Perhaps one of our favorite pastimes was watching the large turtles in the ocean right off of the patio! We even named them.

Had a great time in a beautiful home. The weather in Lahaina is so much better than other parts of the island.

This location was fantastic from start to finish. Great location just shy (walking distance) from the main stretch of Lahaina. The unit was beautiful and nicely remodelled and the kitchen was well stocked with anything and everything you could need for cooking any type of meal. The while process was well managed. Thank you for a great stay and would definitely come back.

Absolutely Amazing...2nd time for us...better each time. We'll be back!

Everything about this property was awesome. I believe that it was recently remodeled and everything is new, clean and as described. The unit was spacious, great floorplan, awesome bathrooms and kitchen was beautiful and well equipped. The location is perfect in that it is close to all the restaurants and shopping in lahaina. The Puamana community is an absolutely beautiful, quiet and safe spot right on the ocean - we watched the sea turtles everyday from the lanai. This particular unit offers all the privacy you could want with beautiful views of the surf and the island of Lanai.

Perfect location, condo is clean, stocked, nicely decorated. APVR staff was very friendly and available to answer any questions. I would highly recommend staying in 225-2, perfect space for 6 people.

The Puamana condo was everything we could ever want, it was breathtaking to walk in and see the ocean and sea turtles hanging out to welcome us. The kitchen was beautiful and stocked for a gourmet cook. The bedrooms and bathrooms were decorated perfect and so comfortable to sleep on great beds with the sound of the ocean, wow!! Loved every minute and hated to leave! Maholo to Cathy and Dave!

The best place in the world!!! on the ocean 10 feet away!

We had a wonderful time. The unit was very nice. Unit was equipped with everything you could possibly need. Very clean. Great view. Very nice finishes. Will recommend to others. Wish we had more time to spend in the unit. Can't wait to come back

Our visit to Puamana 225-2 couldn't have been more perfect. The property is gorgeous with all of the amenities of home...everything you will ever need is here in this beautiful home. The nightly sunsets, turtle sightings, stargazing and surfer spottings will always be fond memories for our family.

There was 6 of us total and our vacation rental was perfect. There was enough space for all 6 (3 couples). Each of us had our own room and bathroom so it felt private like staying in a hotel. The beds were comfortable. The bathrooms were beautiful all updated. You could tell detail was not overlooked. The common areas were great as well. We used the kitchen every day and took advantage of the outdoor patio.

PROS: What a view! The ocean was 12ft from the end of the patio. The unit had been remodeled, so all of the appliances were in great working order. The 3 bedrooms and 3 1/2 bath set up gave everyone more than enough privacy. The location in a gated community made you feel safe and secure.

CONS: There was no sidewalk from the unit into Lahaina for the first 1/2 mile or so. This wasn't a problem during the day, but you wouldn't want to walk it at night. Working the TV was a bit cumbersome. Too many clickers. Also, we weren't able to get the patio speakers to work.

Overall, while the unit is pricey, it's well worth it. Everything in the unit was clean and in great working condition. The view was priceless.

Had an amazing time the unit was amazing, had all that you would need and right on the water. It was clean and they went all out on restoring this place it was gorgeous. Puamana is a very special place if you haven't stayed here before put it on your bucket list, it's so tranquil and beautiful.

Had an amazing time as always hope to be back in 2 years to do it again.

We had a fabulous family vacation to Maui staying at 225-2 Puamana. The condo was first rate. The location was perfect being right on the water and a short walk to downtown Lahaina. The condo was spotless, well maintained and had all the needed features and amenities. We were able to snorkel and paddleboard right off the lanai. The three bedroom w/bathroom combination was perfect for the three couples in our family who came on this trip. I would highly recommend this unit for a perfect vacation in Hawaii.

We really enjoyed our week in Maui. Everything was just as the description stated, except the beauty from the lanai. It is definitely something that you need to see in order to believe and cannot be easily decribed in words. The rental was in a private area, but walking distance to downtown Lahaina. Thank you for a relaxing and enjoyable week in Maui!

It was a wonderful place to stay. Property description accurate, layout just fine unless you need more than one bedroom that accommadates non-stair walking guests (we didn't need more, just saying), the amenities were just what was needed - I can't think of anything we needed that wasn't provided, the property was clean, wellmaintained, and the dcor was lovely. I did wish it was easier to get to the beach. I would definitely want to stay here again if I returned to MAUI.

225-5 was perfect for our group. The condo has an amazing view that we enjoyed every morning and evening, watching the sunset. The unit was clean, well stocked with the kitchen having everything we needed to prepare meals. The mango trees are amazing, and we picked from them everyday for fresh fruit. Dave and his family were exceptionally helpful. We loved our stay and will definitely return. We highly recommend it for those who want a quiet retreat!

Wonderful home! Had everything we needed, the views were spectacular, and it is in the perfect location.

The unit was clean & comfortable with great high end finishes. We knew it was oceanfriont, but had no idea what beautiful sunsets we were in for, or how the multiple daily turtle visits would be the highlight of our time there. The owners were also so helpful both before and during our stay.

This was a family vacation to celebrate our 30th anniversary and it was great. We enjoyed the home it was very comfortable. There were six of us and there was plenty of room. The location was perfect. we were within walking distance of restaurants and shopping. We really enjoyed sitting out and watching the wales. Found this a very relaxing holiday. I would highly recommend this home.

Our week at this condo was perfect, from the handling of the initial rental agreement, pre-arrival information, clean, great location, amenities.....we could not have asked for more. Our party would highly recommend this condo to anyone.

Everything we expected was found at 225-2. I expected a lot! A very special time and setting needed to be just right...and it was.

We 3 friends had the most wonderful few days at 225-2. The unit more than met all of our needs and the attention to detail where the kitchen and bathrooms were concerned is simply over the top. There is nothing to want for....just more time at 225-2. We have booked to come back next year. It is a very special home away from home.

We had the pleasure to stay in this newly renovated unit over the New Year period. The view of the sunset every night was breath taking. We enjoyed many evenings starting the grill and eating on the Lanai with a good bottle of wine. It was pleasant, spacious and tastefully decorated. Beware of the drop in the back where it meets the ocean....for sure not for kids or rowdy people.

The best place we have ever stayed in Maui. The accomodations were impeccable and each detail well thought out from furnishings to towels. Loved it!

Puamana is a beautiful gated resort within walking distance of Old town Lahaina.The unit is right on the water...12 feet away! It is well stocked with everything you need. We ate in most nights...sitting at waters edge with glass of wine in hand and a delicious dinner...tough to beat!

Our group of 5 friends was pleasantly surprised from the moment we walked in the door at 225-2 Front St. We were taken in by the view, the cleanliness, the modern (spare no expense upgrades), simply put we were thrilled to be here. Unlike other vacation homes we have rented we felt everything lived up to the advertisement. Memories were made from the start, including the early morning turtle watches, fabulous dinners on the Lanai, and cooking in the amazing kitchen, and easy bike rides down Front St to Lahaina.
We cannot wait to return!

The photos are amazing but the place is even more spectacular than the photos. Everything we could have wanted and needed was there. The decor and top end appliances, bedding were all first class. We will definitely be back and will tell everyone!

There are quite a few cockroaches which makes we doubt the cleanness. Other than that everything was great

Where to begin? Could not ask for a more picturesque view of the island of Lanai. We spent every morning and afternoon on the balconies soaking it all in. The attention to detail in the remodeling of this unit shows from the cabinetry, fixtures and countertops in the kitchen and baths to the tasteful dcor throughout. Puamana grounds are well kept and beach access is available just a short walk from this unit. There is a Safeway grocery store nearby (within 5 minutes) so if you don't have a Costco membership, no worry. We enjoyed dining at Mama's Fish House, Lahaina Grill, Lulu's Lahaina Surf Club and Grill, and Hard Rock. If interested in surfing lessons, Brian at Soul Surfing Maui had us all riding waves in just a few minutes. Trilogy Excursions offers a great 6 hour snorkeling trip that includes breakfast, snacks and lunch. The road to Hana is worth every twisting, turning mile offering the most beautiful landscapes imaginable.

Again, our trip would not have been the same without having Unit 225-2 to return to each day. Thanks Dave and Cathy for sharing your beautiful condo. Can't wait for our return visit.

I'm not sure when to start. I was excited about this place after seeing it on the internet and booking it, but when I saw the place I can say it is better than advertised. The place is amazing. The booking was easy and straightforward and Dave was very easy to deal with. Who ever decorated this place was an artist. The furnishings, appliances, and the dcor were not what you would expect in a rental. They were top of the line. This place was better than home. The location, and the view were truly amazing. I have never been at a more peaceful, comfortable, and beautiful location. The picture do not do this place justice. I can not wait to come back.

Extremely happy with our unit/experience.

Had a great time. Unit is close to town with great privacy and brand new updates.

Another great vacation at Puamana. This is by far the nicest unit we have ever stayed in. Absolutely every detail has been thought of. We'll be back!

Wow! Ocean views are incredible and the unit is gorgeous. Just a wonderful and relaxing space for our family to enjoy spending time together in Maui. From dinners together out on the lanai to sitting and watching sunsets from the deck we thoroughly enjoyed our time here. Unless you have young children...this is the place to be.

We were in Lahaina to celebrate our youngest daughter's high school graduation. Our other three adult "children" (21, 23, 24) were all able to join us, making it a tricky combination to accommodate. The layout of this unit made our stay so enjoyable. We had plenty of room and didn't feel cramped or crowded.

Because our youngest daughter loves to cook and wanted to prepare meals, we planned to eat most of our meals in. We stopped at Costco on our way from the airport and hit the grocery store, too. This kitchen was so easy for all of us to prepare meals together. We did keep all beverages in a cooler on the patio, to free up refrigerator space. We replenished the ice every few days and it worked great! Evenings were spent on the patio, playing cards and board games.

This was our fourth visit to Puamana and, by far, the best experience. We were so pleased with our entire experience!!!
