This townhome was spared by the August 2023 Lahaina fire, but part of our Puamana community was burned and as of January 2024 we are still waiting for water and sewer service to be restored before the property will be inhabitable again. Owner Clever Trevor has visited the property several times since the fire and looks forward to hosting guests again, but there is no official date for that to happen at this time. You may make a reservation for June 2024 or later and if the property is not usable by that time Clever Trevor will waive the cancellation fee so you can get a full refund.
This is Puamana at its best! I am Clever Trevor Alt and I proudly own and manage this property.
This beautiful 2 bedroom 2.5 bath townhouse (Puamana 167-4 on Pualei Drive) is 200 feet from the Pacific ocean and was remodeled recently and outfitted with top of the line furnishings, appliances, and air conditioning. With contemporary design elements and massive outdoor living areas you have the best of both indoor and outdoor living. My unit is #167-4, and we are conveniently located between the two beach access points so you only have a short walk in either direction to be in the water and ready to surf, paddleboard, or swim!
The living room, fully equipped and stocked kitchen and half bath/laundry are located on the first floor and the two bedrooms and two full bathrooms are upstairs. We have a 65 inch HD curved television in the living room as well as TVs in both bedrooms, and fast, reliable wifi for all of your technological needs. The couch is a sleeper sofa that pulls out to be a double bed, and we also have a double air mattress to accommodate extra guests.
The ground floor living room opens up to a very large 300 square foot covered lanai with two ceiling fans, lights, a dining table that seats 6, and plenty of seating. The lush landscaping makes it feel like you are in your own private tropical oasis and there is even a hot water outdoor shower to rinse in after a day at the beach or a surf session. We provide beach chairs, beach towels, a cooler and beach toys for your enjoyment.
The master bedroom has a king size bed and full ensuite bathroom with a shower. From the bed you have a view of palm trees swaying in the breeze just past your private lanai, and a peek of the ocean from the windows. Enjoy cocktails at sunset from the comfort of your outdoor sectional sofa on the second floor 300 square foot lanai or just lounge in the midday sun with your favorite book. With ocean views and the shade of the coconut trees, this lanai is quite possibly the best spot in the house. I love to leave the slider open at night to be soothed to sleep by the sound of gently crashing waves.
The guest room is also outfitted with a king size bed and also boasts peek ocean views from both windows. Wake up with the sun as it comes over the mountains or maybe choose to close the blackout blinds for a peaceful morning of sleep. All of our doors and windows are double paned and sound proof so you will never have to worry about road noise or other disturbances. The guest bathroom has a deep soaking tub and shower and is located in the hallway outside of the guest bedroom.
The unique gated community of Puamana is old school chill and has many full time residents. The quiet streets are perfectly landscaped. Banyan trees sprawl around the clubhouse and plumeria trees shower the streets with their flowers. Depending on the season you can also find mangos, bananas, avocados, citrus, papaya and more! From December through April you can even watch Humpback Whales swim and play just off the shore.
Puamana has 3 pools to fit all of your needs. The Mountain pool is for active enjoyment, the Dolphin Pool is the children's pool (a perfect place to play!), and the Ocean Pool is the quiet pool. Located directly over the clear blue pacific, the Ocean Pool is a perfect place to swim, lounge, and relax with the sound of the waves. It's literally built into the seawall so close to the ocean that salt water can get in the pool when the surf is up. I've sat at the pool watching surfers ride waves 50 feet away!
Puamana offers separate tennis and pickle ball courts, a children's playground, recreation areas, a historic clubhouse building with a gym and an outdoor gazebo overlooking the ocean, and a private beach. There are several surf breaks right here at Puamana, all a short walk from our luxury condominium. During the winter the ocean is generally calmer, but I have surfed here at all times of the year. Whale season is from December to mid April. The humpbacks love the channel between our beach and the nearby islands of Molokai and Lanai, you can see them from anywhere in Puamana, even from our condo.
Puamana is conveniently located at the south end of Lahaina's Front Street. Walking distance to shops, restaurants (including my personal favorite Maui restaurant Pacific 'O), art galleries, the Lahaina Harbor and the famous Banyan tree that covers a whole block, our central location can't be beat!
If windows are open road noise may be heard along with the sound of the surf. But open the windows that face the ocean and you hear all ocean! That's how your host Clever Trevor sleeps when he's here and it's a big reason why Clever Trevor put his life savings into this property.
Your host Clever Trevor purchased this townhome in June 2022. However, I have been in the vacation rental business in Nevada and Hawaii for more than a decade and have hosted thousands of happy guests. Please see my many 5 star reviews for my nearby luxury ground floor condominium at the Honua Kai Resort & Spa - VRBO Property # 586663.
Note that this listing site is implementing "artificial intelligence" that is not in fact intelligent. For example, in the search results it has recently displayed that my property is "14 minutes from Maui Sandy Beach" and there is such a beach but my guests probably won't see it because they can walk 2 minutes to Puamana's own sandy beach (see my pictures including the property map). Our own sandy beach is behind the Puamana community gates where we also have 3 named surf breaks (hot sands aka "Puamana" is the beginner friendly one, the "pools" break in front of the Ocean pool is for experts only). All beaches in Hawaii are public so our security will let savvy local surfers in through our security gates but there is little traffic at Puamana's beaches and grounds and our pools have their own codes that are only given to Puamana residents and guests that are staying here. Puamana is a residential community that allows vacation rentals but there are many full time residents with families here and you'll feel the aloha when you visit.
With aloha,
Clever Trevor
