About this property
Lahaina, Puamana Basecamp is your laid-back home for true West Maui living. Located inside the private, oceanfront community of Puamana, this 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath townhome offers beach access, a nearby beginner-friendly point break, and multiple community pools—including one set right on the ocean.
What makes this home special is the upstairs great room and chef-inspired kitchen. The property was previously owned by the original owner of Mala Ocean Tavern, and the upstairs lanai was enclosed years ago to create a larger, more functional kitchen footprint. We embraced that history and took it further with a newly remodeled chef’s kitchen designed for real cooking—not just vacation basics. As a former chef, I intentionally created a space built for preparing fresh island meals, gathering around the counter, and mixing sunset cocktails after a long day in the water.
Designed for families and friends, the open living and kitchen area naturally pulls everyone together. Slow mornings with coffee, afternoons shaped by surf and sun, and evenings filled with shared meals define the rhythm here. Kids roam the quiet pathways, the ocean sets the schedule, and life moves at an easy, unhurried pace—comfortably removed from the resort crowds.
If you’re looking for a relaxed, surf-forward Maui experience with a true cook’s kitchen and space to gather, Puamana Basecamp is ready to welcome you.

This was a lovely place to stay. We enjoyed the tasteful decorating and quality appliances. The kitchen is better stocked than my own (and my husband and I both enjoy cooking)! It was generally quiet but is next to a highway that is busy in the morning until 9AM or so. It was minimal with the windows closed, and not an issue later in the day even with windows open. It was a little tricky to get in initially, figure out the correct parking spot, and how to lock the door when leaving, but communication was prompt and I do not consider this anything other than a minor thing I have experienced often when I first arrive at my VRBO rental.It was very clean, beds comfortable, plentiful towels. We even were treated to snorkel gear, beach chairs, and umbrella, which helped us have a fun, relaxing snorkel and beach time. Overall it worked well for us and we appreciated the little touches that helped make the stay so enjoyable.
Beautiful and so friendly and accommodating! Highly recommend!
