In the wake of the Lahaina fire, Puamana continues to embody the spirit of Hawaiian resilience, even as the surrounding landscape has changed. While some amenities were lost, this coastal community remains a beautiful and peaceful retreat.
129-3 Pualei Drive, completely rebuilt in 2017 with modern coastal living in mind, stands strong. After a day at the beach, step into your contemporary home and rinse off the sand in your warm outdoor shower. Enjoy the sunset from your front lanai, and prepare dinner in your updated upstairs kitchen, which overlooks the ocean and palm trees. The outdoor barbeque is perfect for grilling, and the private patio on the mountainside offers an intimate spot for gatherings.
The home’s unique reverse floor plan provides privacy, with the kitchen and living area located upstairs, featuring vaulted ceilings and large windows that let in plenty of light. Split AC units keep each room cool and comfortable, while the downstairs bedrooms open to three distinct patio areas, designed to embrace the island’s indoor-outdoor lifestyle.
Though the fire affected much of the area, Puamana’s 30 acres of oceanfront tropical gardens are gradually recovering. The community remains a serene and low-density escape, offering seasonal sandy beaches and nearby surf spots. While some beloved facilities, such as the gym and clubhouse, were lost, the spirit of Puamana is alive and well, and neighbors continue to share stories and support each other.
The details we love about 129-3 Pualei Drive include cool blue-grey walls, plantation-style finishes, driftwood-style flooring, contemporary cabinetry with stainless fixtures, white Cambria quartz countertops, walk-in showers, recessed lighting, extra storage, and a downstairs mini-fridge for cocktail hour on the front patio. Despite the challenges faced by the community, this home offers a modern, serene retreat with the charm and beauty of island living.
Unfortunately, the historic clubhouse and some amenities were lost to the fire, and two of the three swimming pools, including the adult oceanfront pool, are currently undergoing maintenance. However, Puamana continues to provide a unique island experience, making it the perfect place to unwind and relax. The Dolphin Pool remains open and available for guests to enjoy.
