31-4 Oceanfront

Perfect location for seeing and hearing the ocean. Sit on the lanai and watch the surfers. Walk to the swimming pool. Well-equipped home for family living. Beach was rocky, not for walking. Need car for going to town.

Manager's Response

We had a wonderful experience at 31-4! The unit is beautiful. We enjoyed starting our day with coffee on the lanai and ending it the day viewing the stars from the same place. The ocean IS your backyard! The unit has everything visitors need and more! Would recommend to anyone!

Manager's Response

Puamana is a wonderful community that respects people's privacy while engendering community. The units are close together but well situated as is this unit, with a fantastic view of the water and sunsets over Lanai. The manager checked in with us the first day to confirm that everything was as expected, and gave us his number to call if anything came up over our stay. Loved every minute of our time there.

Manager's Response

The location was absolutely perfect with ocean and island views. 15 feet from the water. The kitchen and living room are updated and beautiful. The TV room was a little inconvenient and cramped for 5 or 6 people. The bedroom were comfortable although needed updating and the bathrooms need updating immediately. Rick was very helpful and available when needed.

Third time staying in Puamana through APVR and had a great stay! We celebrated a high school graduate, a sweet 16, a 50th birthday, Father's Day and a wedding anniversary while we were there. The location and main living area and lanai of this unit are all amazing!! The kitchen was stocked with everything which is also great since we love to cook and barbecue while there! Took a while to get used to the floor plan which is unique where the beds and baths were located, and that portion of the home is a bit dated but still comfortable. Would highly recommend this unit and company and can't wait to come back!!

If you want to be close to the ocean, this is a good spot. You have great views of the ocean from the kitchen-dining area, and from the lania. The updated kitchen is very nice. The air conditioning works well. One comment - the items you touch in the unit are clea, but it could use a thorough cleaning, things like the ceiling fans. That was not much of a distraction from the overall good experience we had. This spot met our expectations of the higher price they charge for it.

The condo location right on the ocean was incredible! We enjoyed spending time eating and relaxing and watching surfers on the lanai everyday. We also liked the beautiful swimming pool on the ocean and the proximity to the beach and the town of Lahaina. The condo was spacious and comfortable for our family and the kitchen was especially well appointed. The covered carport for our Jeep was helpful and the community was quiet and felt safe. We were very pleased that we chose this property and not a larger resort.

We found this property to be perfect for the six of us adults. The living area was spacious and well appointed. It was perfect!

The property is short walk to the Clubhouse, has a sweeping view of the ocean; APVR, the property management company, was wonderful to work with.; the kitchen has been remodeled; the patio dining table can accommodate 8; and the living room area is spacious.

This is a fantastic location, beautiful vistas and walking distance to Lahaina.
It has a new Kitchen, the furniture is a little old and dated. The carpets going upstairs are disgustingly dirty. We contacted the property Manager about running toilets and the blinds were coming down in the living room but he never sent anyone to take care of these problems. Still, it is easy to overlook the negative as it is overall a wonderful place to stay.

Just coming from a resort wedding spot we were looking forward to our own place and relax and cook, sit on the lanai with a cup of coffe or cocktail. We were pleasantly pleased with the townhomes amenities. The picture was somewhat deceiving which we thought we were getting more space as the end unit. We were very close to our neighbor to our left with very little green space along with in front of the Lena I. There is no access to the water from this unit 31-4. But the view of the ocean and watching the surfers every morning while we enjoyed our coffee made up the difference. With an easy walk to the ocean pool every morning was invigorating.We felt very safe in the gated community . Our manager Rick was a call away and made our stay very comfortable since the AC went out. He set up air conditioners in the bedrooms while waiting for new parts and the owners compensated us for the inconvenience. The BBQ gas grill was full of new gas but quite small if your cooking for many and frankly should be replaced with a newer up to date model. The unit was very clean and kitchen large for many to be working side by side. The kitchen is equipped with nice knives,serving pieces, pots and skillets. There are some spices and condiments but bring your own spices if your particular in your cooking.We would have loved to be able to go upstairs and enjoy that view on the top deck.
All in all we would recommend this unit for your family. Super close to Lahaina Front Street for shopping and dining.

Condo was everything we could have hoped for. It is a 3 bedroom but the "den" with the sliding partition makes a great 4th bedroom. Each member of our party said their bed was comfortable. Each bedroom had a bath attached. The den also shared a funky bath or rather walk thru shower with the Queen bedroom. Cozy. Kitchen was well stocked and easy to use although it is a funky layout. House was clean upon arrival and well stocked with towels, etc. There is no beach per se in front of condo although there is water access and we did get in and swim and our son surfed a couple times. It is a great surf spot. Lots of turtle watching. Yes, you can walk to Lahaina but we recommend renting bikes and exploring the town that way. All in all, great location, great condo, felt quiet, safe and removed, really nice old Hawaii feel with the clubhouse, gardens and oceanside pool. The rental company, A Perfect Vacation Rental was easy to work with and responsive both before and during our stay. We will stay here again and highly reccommend. We ate at many fine restaurants while in Maui but our faves were Kimo's and Mala Tavern. Super accommodating with our celiac son (gluten free).Favorite activities included Blue Water Rafting 5.5 hour Molokini adventure and sunset sail on the Scotch Mist II.

Everything was great. It would have helped if there was an 'explanation' sheet on what switches worked fans, lights, outside outlets/fans, A/C setup, and such. List of items in condo - Kcup maker, hair dryer, soaps shampoos provided, extra blankets, towels, pillows, beach towels, broom, etc. And - no washing machine - really counted on that, had baby and had to go out to do laundry - was a big factor in choosing this rental - quite disappointed with this.

Everything was just as we had hoped. The bedroom situation was perfect for 4 couples. The Hillmans were so generous in allowing us to use the upstairs. We were all very comfortable. The newly updated kitchen is great. We cant say enough about the charm of Puamana!!

Very well furnished, equipped and spacious condo with large lanai right in front of ocean. It was great to have coffee and meals there and watch the sunsets. Clean and modern on immaculate grounds of privately owned condos, 4 to a building with many permanent residents. No crowds and a quiet community. 3 good fresh water pool and beach nearby. No problems, and caretaker checked in often anyway.

This was our second time to rent for a month in Pumana, returning after our first visit in 2013. APVR and Rick were very accommodating and took care of our ever need.
Having rented a differnt ocean front unit on our previous visit we knew the location of this unit in respect to the roadways and interior layout of the complex and found it ideal.
The unit itself was nice however the bedrooms and bathrooms in the rear could use some updating as well as the living room furniture, however the kitchen area was very modern and updated with new cabinets and appliances as well as being very well equipped, we didn't want for a thing in that regard.
I would recommend Pumana to anyone interesting in a long term stay in Lahina and APVR as a rental manager.

Really nice, big house, big beds, everything was in the kitchen. But the gas on the grill wasn't enough. We had some bugs inside the house but thats normal.

Everything was wonderful! We were blessed to stay there! It's a beautiful and special home with a waterfront location and view.

We love Puamana and have been coming for over 40 years. This is a perfect spot for our family. I love the convenience of the APVR app and their attention to service. Looking forward to returning next summer.

Puamana was a wonderful place to stay. We enjoyed the ocean access and the pools. Our unit 31-4 was really nice ans spacious. We spent our mornings and evenings on the lanai enjoying the view of the ocean. We used the BBQ and were glad it was available, We had a mini family reunion during our stay and utilized the beautiful kitchen to prepare a Sunday brunch for all. We found this unit to be very comfortable and met all our needs. The memorabilia displays and the interior decor are all well done and enhanced our stay. We saw the interiors of other units and felt this one was the best. We would definitely come back and stay at this unit again. If there was any done side at all it would be that we were not given access to the water equipment closet as stated in the description, but this surely did not hamper our enjoyment of Puamana! Our family did a lot of snorkeling at some really nice coves up north. We went to the Hula Grill and Mamma's fish house both great places to eat(but pricey). Our first stop after the airport was Da Kitchen don't miss that one!

From the beginning it was fabulous. The house is so well equipped that you needed absolutely nothing. The view was just as described. We couldn't have had a better stay. If I had anything negative to say it would be the parking situation. For a residence that large to only be allowed 2 vehicles is a little unreasonable. Those are the rules in the entire subdivision, however but I would look at making a change to that. Thanks for everything!

We have stayed at Puamana before so familiar with the houses and area. We have always been oceanfront and cannot complain about any of the properties for view/area. We would never look anywhere else in Maui. This property was great for location but not what I expected on the interior and for the price. The bedrooms were the smallest of the houses we have stayed. We had no access to the upstairs and deck. The bathrooms were motel grade clean with mold, nasty shower seat in one and standing water in another bathroom with a tub. I went to Safeway and purchased Draino. The other bathroom faucet leaked so bad it could not be used. We addressed that with the leasing agent and were told 'the faucet was on order'. There were ants in every room upon our arrival. I contacted the leasing agent for this as well. I was told not to leave food on the counter and spent 10 days spraying Raid. There were several broken tiles on the lanai that caught one or more toes of the kids when playing. Lastly, we were sent directions for check in that stated keys were on the counter. There was a note from the owner saying the key also opened the closet for water toys, etc. I contacted the agent when no keys were found and told the unit had a keypad entry only. In short, Puamana is the best. I do not fault the owners but believe they should look into their management choice.

The living room, dining room, kitchen and lanai provide fabulous views. The kitchen was beautifully updated within the past year or two. However, the home is badly in need of maintenance: furniture in the living room feels as though they haven't been cleaned in years, tiles on the lanai are cracked, one of the exterior sliding glass doors doesn't lock, only one of the sliding screen door slides, the roll down lanai sunshade is missing, the shower in one of the back bedrooms drains too slowly, one of the bedroom windows doesn't lock and the kitchen had tiny ants that got into the cereal box and other food items.

We had such a wonderful time! Beautiful views and so much fun to watch all the surfers. Thank you for the wonderful stay.

Always great to be at Puamana

From the moment we walked in and saw the amazing views awaiting us, we knew we were in store for a great time. The unit was well stocked for our party of eight. Steps from the water, we were in a pristine location! The layout of the unit was a bit odd, but didn't hamper any part of our vacation. The property grounds were beautifully kept and added to the ambience greatly. We had a great time!

always love Puamana and especially love staying in this unit!

We had a wonderful 2 weeks in September at Puamana Resort staying with adult family in unit 31-4. Fantastic location - walking distance to Lahaina, right on the water. Given that the resort is quieter and it does not have a restaurant or bar, we had thought it might be a little quiet for our adult children, but they loved it! The beach is a surf beach (they are out every day) with strong waves and it is quite rocky so you do have to take care. Families with younger children were having a blast with boogie boards! To be clear, the waves do wash the sand away - we saw it when were there - so it is not a beach to lie on and sunbathe but who needs that when you can lie on your lounger on the lanai a few steps back from the water?
The apartment has a very spacious living area with a modern kitchen and is superbly equipped. It is fully air-conditioned as well as having fans in all the living and bedrooms. All the bedrooms have their own bathrooms, which while a little small, were fine. The large living areas catered for a crowd very easily. Our only disappointment was that the advertisement did not make it clear that the upstairs master bedroom with balcony is unavailable. Even without that we had 3 generous bedrooms and there was also a pull out bed available in the TV room which could be closed off and used as a bedroom.
We had very responsive service from the property manager when we contacted about a couple of very minor maintenance issues. The place was superbly clean and there were plenty of towels, including beach towels.
This apartment is excellent, both in its location right on the water and that it has been upgraded. We noticed that there are a number of apartments being upgraded in the complex and that those that haven't been upgraded are tired. Also not all units in the complex have the superb views & location that this one has. We would definitely stay here in 31-4 again!

Great place great location fantastic view Reented bikes and road to town Definitely coming back
