57-2 Ocean View

Overall we had a great experience. The unit was well equipped, clean, and in a great location with beautiful views. We would have preferred an upstairs bedroom with a door- was not clear on the description that it was a loft unit. Also there were no shades on two windows in then upstairs bedroom making it very bright in the morning (we had to purchase and tape posterboard to cover them up).

Life is simple in Puamana
Quiet well keep grounds right on the ocean
Great location
Pride of community is evident

As far as This unit:
Dave and Cathy were on top of every detail
great communication thru whole process
Completely professional

We absolutely adored the accommodations. The unit was clean and had plenty of supplies.

We could not have been more satisfied!

Manager's Response

We had a lovely time staying here, it was perfect. We loved having a kitchen so we didnt have to eat out all of the time, and the location was awesome.

Manager's Response

The unit 57-2 is everything you seek for a nice stay in Maui. The resort is safe with gated community and very clean. The unit has everything you need, no neighbors on your left and is 10 feet to the beach and pool. We really thought it was the best unit of all the resort. The host is also amazing, very careful, will rebook for sure 100%!!!

Manager's Response

Great place, fully equipped with full service amenities. Loved the ocean pool, beautifully maintained complex and residence and the space. We had a terrific week here and the surf break in front of our unit was perfection!

This is our second time renting this house. The location on the property and condition of the house makes it perfect for us. There were 4 of us on this trip and we had plenty of space to spread out. This house has everything and more!

This was our third year in 57-2 and we will come back again. The on site maintenance guy ( Rick) is very responsive but seldom needed. The unit is in great shape and easily accomodates 5 of us. The kitchen is well stocked with utensils. Lahania is about a 15-20 minute walk away and has lots of restaurant options although we chose to enjoy happy hour watching the sun set over Lanai and eating in.

Manager's Response

This house lives up to description. Every evening while cooking dinner in the newly renovated kitchen, we watched the sunset from the large kitchen windows that face the ocean. Since we were spending the Thanksgiving holiday in this rental, I wanted to make sure the kitchen had everything we needed and it lived up to our expectations. The open kitchen concept was also appreciated. The 2nd bedroom, on the second floor, was equipped with a surprising king size bed with twin bed that faces the ocean. Both bathrooms have open showers and the second floor has beautiful light from a huge skylight. Had a few requests at the beginning of our trip and the management resolved them during the same day. We will have cherished memories during our Maui trip thanks to this beautiful rental. Would highly recommend.

We had a good stay at this unit. Very well done up, clean & comfortable. There was some roofing work on the house behind us, due to which we couldn't use the lanai but was a minor disturbance. Can't go wrong with this unit & Puamana, if you are looking for good interiors close to the water & quiet setting. Dave was helpful as usual. Would highly recommend it.

Very recent and modern updates to kitchen and bath and the floors are beautiful wood. AC works wonderfully and is quiet. (Another unit rented by our group (58-4) was right on the water but had an old window AC unit that could not keep up. That is about a $2.5m property going for $3500 a week and it has a window AC unit? Not acceptable. It's 95 and humid here in August and very little wind much of the time even on the water.) The only problem we had in our unit was the washer leaked. It looks like a nice new washer but we were told the detergent pods (provided) can fail to dissolve and cause leaks. Simple solution: stop stocking pods and supply with powder or liquid detergent. One other thing I really wish was provided would be a couple of boogie boards and a couple of beach chairs with every unit at Puamana, or at least provide them on request or as an extra service. It's a real hassle to have to go rent these kinds of things and return them at the end of the week. They are not expensive and would really add that last extra touch. Finally, I wish you would just collect all the gate codes, directions, check in, check out info, map, etc into one message, instead of making us download an app and go through 15 different messages with one little bit of info in each one. I collected all that info and fit it all easily onto a single page.

This place was perfect - location, design, space very comfortable for 4, and best of all - close to the ocean. We also were provided great support by the management crew who were very responsive.

This condo was very spacious and in a great location on the west side of Maui. Although this condo itself is not located directly on the ocean, you can see the waves from the condo and it is only a short 10 second walk to the beach. The beach here is rocky so you need to go to another beach to enjoy swimming(but there are 3 very nice pools in the complex). For the nightly cost though, I did expect a few more things to be included; shampoo, enough toilet paper and garbage bags to last 10 days. It would have been really nice to have a few beach accessories available for use. With things being so expensive, it is inconvenient and costly when you need to run out and buy/rent beach chairs, coolers bags etc. As this condo is a great size for families, a few more of these items would have been helpful. We did have an issue with ants and a few annoying cockroaches(apparently quite common in Maui), but Rick came and sprayed for bugs right away. He was very helpful and quick to respond to messages.

Nicely situated to ocean,tennis courts, kid friendly pool and clubhouse. Personnel were friendly and helpful. The grounds are gorgeous and very well maintained. Short walk to Front Street and churches.

Everything was perfect. The unit was unreal. I have never stayed somewhere in Maui (or anywhere), where the unit was so well equipped. The beds were comfortable and the service from Rick, the maintenance guy was awesome. We never waited more then 20 min if we wanted extra pillows etc.
The locTion was also awesome. We loved watching the ocean from inside the unit and out.

This was our second year in this unit. It is well maintained and if there are any issues the onsite maintenance guy (Rick) very responsive. The kitchen has everything you need and the unit is very clean. Although Puamana does not have a sand beach the whale watching from the lawn is outstanding. The three swimming pools on site offer alternatives for everyone. One of the advantages of this unit is that it is further away from traffic noise than other units on this property. We will be back again !

My two teenage daughters and I stayed in this lovely condo over the Christmas holidays and loved it! The flooring is beautiful and the kitchen is modern and unique (on a good way). The first floor feels so open and airy - we even comfortably hosted our 20 person family for a game night! So nice to see the ocean views from the kitchen and loft bedroom. My kids loved the skylight in the upstairs bath, and I loved the downstairs master shower. So convenient to the clubhouse and ocean pool and no noise from the highway. I would definitely stay here again!

loved the home for our family thanksgiving

Puamana is literally on the beaches of Paradise. This particular unit has the most wonderful view of the ocean as well: whether you're in the kitchen making coffee, or staring out from the loft office desk while you catch up on work for the day! It was a good distance away from the waves, enough for you to enjoy the view and the sounds but not overbearing like our brother's unit right along the beach. The property was beautiful inside and out! They spared no penny when renovating and updating this unit. I was sad to leave, but I know where I want to stay when I come back! Maui No Ka Oi! Mahalo for letting us enjoy a piece of paradise!

Great time, unit is nicely updated and very convenient to pool & clubhouse. view is mostly from front walkway & kitchen.

Stayed here for a week in October with 2 couples.
Unit was spotless upon arrival. Love the check-in procedures - very convenient. Loved the location - close enough to walk to town (15min) for coffee/dinner/shopping, but far enough away to be very calm and quiet. Loved the indoor/outdoor options for dining, AC and fans in bedrooms, nice appliances. Enjoyed the "quiet pool" on the ocean edge. Swimming access not great (rocky shore), but not too far to better options. Would definitely stay again if in Lahaina

Our family had a beautiful vacation stay in this wonderful townhouse!! This is our 2nd time, however our first stay was almost 20 years ago. This townhouse has everything you could think of to need on your vacation.

We love love love this Puamana property rental! It's steps to the ocean, which can be seen from the front porch and kitchen window. The downstairs is spacious with quality finishes. The downstairs bedroom is of great size with big bathroom and washer/drier. Upstairs is huge! We joke it was like our studio appt. The AC units in both rooms give great relief to the hot Lahaina weather. We will definitely be back!

We think Maui is the best place in the islands and Puamana the best in Maui. We've stayed here many times and think AVPR is an excellent company to work with. We will continue to use them as our source for great rentals on the island

We are frequent renters at Puamana and found unit 57-2 to be well-provisioned and nicely remodeled in comparison to previous units we've rented. We especially enjoyed the well-equipped kitchen and dining on the shady lanai each evening. We found that the modern AC was far more effective and less noisy than old-style window air conditioners we've seen in other units, so that was much appreciated! We also enjoyed taking our morning coffee on the front lanai and watching the view of the ocean across the parking lot. As always, the team at APVR was easy to work with and handled the details of our rental very well. Rick even came by to check on us the first day just to make sure there were no maintenance issues! Upon reflection, there are two long-term issues that could be improved in this unit, but neither are deal-breakers: (1) The beds are extremely firm, so several of us had sore backs until we got used to the mattresses and (2) several of the louvered windows had broken mechanisms, so either would not open, or had to be manually moved one-at-a-time.

Puamana is a great spot if you are looking for a quiet, low density experiance. The beach comes and go but the property and it's three pools are very nice. This property is 25 meters from the water and very quiet.

We enjoyed our stay in this unit which had a great location near the ocean pool and clubhouse in Puamana. The living area and back patio were nicely furnished and were very comfortable. The kitchen was well designed and one of the best furnished ones we've had in rental homes. The full size washer/dryer were very nice. View from front porch and kitchen window was fantastic. We had a great experience with APVR through the entire rental process. Great communication and the APVR App was very helpful. We would recommend this unit and APVR. High quality experience and worry-free vacation.

Where do I start about this rental. Well right from the very first enquiry I was impressed. Dave and Cathy were were so professional from start to the end.

We have stayed in VRBOs for the last 8 years and have had good experience with most of them. This one was by far the best. Everything from the kitchen pots, pans and utensils to tons of towels was stocked to the max. Would stay here again in a heartbeat and I will be selling it to our friends and family.

The icing on the cake was Rick, he went above and beyond for us. Anything we needed or had a question about he was on top of it right away. We were at the airport when we realized that we forgot an important bag with my husbands work computer and laptop in it. I called Rick and asked a huge favour, if he could drive it out to us. He never even hesitated, he said give me some time to get ready and he came out to the airport from Lahina in a horrible rainy day to help us. It doesnt get any better than that. So thank you Rick, Dave, Cathy and the owners of the house for a fabulous stay.

Theresa next door was also so accommodating letting our boys park in their driveway to keep the scooters dry. We will be staying here again in the future.

We shared this rental with another couple. All went well and both couples were satisfied with their spaces. Upstairs is very spacious, downstairs bedroom very comfortable. Showers are great. In the downstairs bathroom there is an enormous new efficiency washer and dryer set.

We much appreciated the great ventilation, with ceiling fans and all louvered windows to keep the breeze flowing. The lighting throughout the unit is excellent and fully adjustable. Even the back patio had proper shades, ceiling fans, lights, and a nice glass top table for six. There were two lounges, though we spent most of our home time sitting in chairs in the front of the unit, where we could see a nice peek of the ocean. The ocean is also visible from both bathrooms and the upstairs bedroom.

The kitchen is a dream, with a great assortment of beautiful dishware, knives, and best quality cookware ever experienced in over 20 years as guests at Puamana. There was a hand mixer, two blenders, even a rice cooker. Wonderful! We also appreciated that there was an assortment of spices, oils and vinegars in the cupboard.

There was one oversight which I think does need to be addressed. This beach unit, outfitted for four guests who fly in, has NO beach equipment. There are beach towels, but there is not one beach chair or an umbrella. We had to buy what we needed, then left the items with other guests, as we had no outside closet in which to store them. This is the first of many units we've stayed in, that has not had an outside guest closet with an assortment of handy equipment. I hope this will be addressed in this otherwise perfectly appointed unit. There were a couple of minor necessities which were quickly attended to by "Rick", whom I assume is the Puamana property manager.

We loved being able to stay in such a nice unit and would happily do so again in the future.

We had a wonderful stay at this great condo in Puamana. Everything we needed was available and the location was excellent. Close to the oceanpool and an easy walk into town.

We will be back!

This condo was beautiful! Many updates features inside... Kitchen is great, lighting is wonderful and amenities were great! Loved this condo and would like to stay here again! Very close to water, could listen to waves crashing while going to sleep or just relaxing. Nice view to water from kitchen and upstairs! Beautiful place! Highly recommended! The managers are wonderful and very available!

My sisters and I had a great time staying at your location this past week. We were here for a 50th Wedding Celebration for our relatives who were staying directly across the street. The location was prime and the views were spectacular. The home was very clean and stocked with enough to get us through the week. A few very minor things that need to be fixed : The screen door going out on the patio was off the track and difficult to open. There is no air conditioning in the main family room which made it somewhat hot and humid; but we were able to tolerate it. We opened the doors to the bedroom and it would cool off a bit. The Internet connection was fine. The house was stocked with games and other family activities to engage in. Felt very much at home and would definitely consider staying here in the future. What a wonderful vacation.

Fantastic unit at remarkable property.

Fantastic unit at remarkable property.

The house is almost right on the water. You can check out th surf from the kitchen window. This was out third stay here and it is the best on Maui

We found your rental to be very comfortable and plenty of room. The view to the ocean was great and very easy access to the ocean and pool. The pool was fantastic!

My wife, 11 month old son and I stayed here for just over 1 week. Every aspect of the unit had been remodeled and it was spotless. You can see the best surf spot in the community from the kitchen window which was ideal for new parents... They also had all the bare necessities you could ask for like Tupperware, etc. The wifi worked great too. This place made our first vacation with an infant that much more simplified, I would recommend this unit to family and friends.

We were very pleased with the cleanliness of the unit. It was perfect for our family of 5. The upstairs was perfect for our 3 girls. We look forward to staying in this unit again next year.

Great place to stay. Condo very clean and close to the ocean and pool.We recommend this place to all looking to have a awesome stay in Maui.

We were most impressed with updated condo. The kitchen was well equipped and who can complain about three flat screen tvs. The down stairs bedroom and bath were perfect for us. The upstairs bedroom and bath are in a spacious lay out with a great view of the ocean.

Perfect location. Everything was as expected. Super comfortable stay. Perfect location.

Perfect location. Everything was as expected. Super comfortable stay. Perfect location.

The ocean is just across the lawn and a few steps away from the clubhouse and the adult pool, with chaise lounges readily available under the palm trees. The unit's ocean view is from the big kitchen window. The lanai is on the backside, but is enclosed in tropical plants and very private. Both the master and the loft bedrooms have wall A/C which worked well. The unit was comfortable for all 5 guests. Dave, the manager, was all that was friendly, as was his on island contact Rick. The Wi-Fi was intermittant and cable TV a bit fuzzy (but we needed to disconnect from electronics, anyway!).

Lahaina's Banyan Tree park is a 20 min walk into town on a narrow 20 mph road (w/'speed tables'). Puamana does not have sandy beaches, but a sandy public beach is a 10 minute walk towards Lahaina.

On the downside, and to Puamana's discredit, during the first three days of our week stay, starting at 8am daily, the trees around our unit were trimmed with a great deal of chain saw and chipping noise, ground crews used mowers and leaf blowers and electrical lines were mechanically dug into the ground. Either the crews could be more efficient or the schedule could be posted (so we could make plans to be gone).

This townhouse was just remodeled and provided the perfect place for us to use as a home base while exploring the island. There is a direct ocean view from the kitchen window and the lanai is surrounded by tropical plants which provide privacy. Plenty of room for our family of 5. We loved it and can't wait to return.

We had a very nice time staying at Puamana. It is our 3rd time staying in Puamana. The only negative thing that occurred was when our friends tried to access the Puamana Beach and were stopped by a homeowner that threatened to fine them for causing erosion on the bank. My husband and I were told from a diffent homeowner that the easement ran at the edge of the grass, which is where we told our friends to walk to get to the beach. Our friends turned around and came back to the rental feeling very disappointed at not being able to get to the beach. On their way back they were told by another renter that he was fined for not using his BBQ grill in the proper place. I am assuming the same woman that stopped our friends probably turned this renter in. Our friends said they will be skeptical to come back due to their issue and this man also said the same. Hopefully the owners in Puamana can try to be a little more understanding and not try to hand out fines to all of the newcomers.

We had a wonderful time at this property in Puamana and felt very much at home. It's situated in a quiet cul-de-sac with an amazing ocean view from the front patio. Every morning we sat outside, sipped our coffees and watched the whales. This condo was very spacious for the 4 of us (my husband, me, and our 2 daughters ages 7 and newborn).
The kitchen stove needs to be updated, but the rest of the kitchen amenities were great. Also, the grill for the BBQ was missing, so we weren't able to grill anything.
We loved the boogie boards, frisbee and bocce balls that were available, and we sure did use them all.
The grounds are beautiful and quite spread out. We used the family pool practically everyday and also went to the Puamana beach a few times with the boogie boards. Lahaina center is a very short car ride away, or you can use the bikes that were also available.
We met a lot of friendly people who were also staying at Puamana. We can't wait to go back!

We would stay again

The rates are very steep, well above what most people are paying but the condo was clean and the location was amazing!

we had such a wonderful time, delighted with puamana....hated to leave....already planning to return

Yes all went well and I do believe that all that spent time their also agreed,growns were kept up every morning,view was spectacular and wish I was still their. Thanks and hope to be there next year.

Had a great time we will stay at puamana again wished we could have stayed longer.Great location very private.

We were very comfortable in this house as a family of four. We really enjoyed the access to a couple of beach cruisers so we could ride the short distance into Lahaina town. The only drawback was that the Master bedroom downstairs was incredibly hot. There was a ceiling fan and the property manager was kind enough to bring us another fan as well but that room just was not cooling down. Other than that, the location was terrific and the property manager was attentive to every need we had. All in all a great vacation.

Wonderful location. Close to club house, pools and ocean front lawn area.

We were very pleased overall with our trip. The location was fantastic, the weather was perfect. Our main complaint was when the bedroom fan was on, the vertical blinds rattled all night long. Otherwise, it was well stocked with supplies and a great place to stay. I would stay there again.

We have never gone wrong staying at a property managed by Dave and Cathy. The unit was exceptionally clean and in a great location. Just steps away from the ocean. We had a fantastic experience and can't wait for our next trip!

The four of us had a great time staying here. We enjoyed the ocean view from the front patio and the loft. It was only a short walk down Front St. to enjoy the local shops and resturants.

Puamana is a truly unique experience we've enjoyed for over 20 years. We found 57-2 very comfortable inside and very well positioned outside. Beautiful ocean views and landscaping. Great service from A Perfect Vacation Rental.
Much Mahalo.

The Puamana is a beautiful resort, and unit 57-2 is in a great location, with an ocean view from the front lanai. The home was very spacious and tastefully decorated, loved the upstairs master, huge! and such a nice ensuite with skylights in the shower to view the tropical foliage. We loved it! We were traveling with our son who uses an electric wheelchair and he found the unit and the whole property quite accessible. It's only a 15 min walk into Lahaina, which was great. The only downside was no Wi-Fi, which was important to us as we had business to take care of. And the ten dollar per day "resort fee" seemed unecessary

The complex was very nice. Good location to pools and beach.
Condo was very tired and in need of upgrades and a good cleaning.
Toilets didn't flush properly
Counters tops were not clean and ants were a problem.
Sofa was uncomfortable and a 12" TV in the living room was hard to see. Finally moved the furniture closer.
TV upstairs kept losing it's connection
A stair to the upstairs bedroom was broken and simply had a piece of red tape on it which we thought was a little dangerous.
Furniture and dishes were very worn and need of being replaced.
Had to wash dishes before using as a lot were dirty.
Would definitely go back to the complex but not to this condo.

Difficult to get back on the Honoapiilani Hwy 30 from Front Street. Dryer was broken upon check in and wasn't fixed the week we stayed so had to use clubhouse dryers which was an inconvenience. Beach was very rocky too.

Our 2 adult daughters, my husband and I had a wonderful and relaxing vacation. The location was great, the kitchen well equipped. However no closet in upstairs bedroom, no wardrobe to hang coats or put away our shoes downstairs, no internet, missing keys (new keys were made promptly), no lock box#, gate code and directions prior to our arrival, upstairs TV not working (was replaced promptly), DVD player not working (cables had been switched), broken cover for bathroom ceiling light was not replaced until next guests arrived, no checkout (property manager showed up at checkout time to make sure we moved out quickly, no questions asked regarding our stay, etc.)

Superb location in a safe, family friendly and very local feeling community. Everyone we met at Puamana was delighted to be there - from the fellow vacationing families to the permanent residents. Bikes available were lots of fun for the quick cycle into Lahaina, walking only takes 10 mins. Perfect condo for our family with 2 young boys. We will be back and would highly recommend this place to a friend.
