Rental Details
Property Overview
Experience the ultimate ocean immersion at Punahoa Beach 201 and live your Maui adventure right on the beach with immediate access to the protective, warm-water swimming and vibrant snorkeling reef for which Kamaole I Beach is world renowned. Spectacular forever ocean views await from your lanai and caressing tropical breezes blow right off the ocean.
Kamaole I Beach is one of Maui's best stretches of sand and will be your gateway to the meandering beach path that meanders for miles to the South, past the Wailea resorts and Kamaole II and III Beaches. Located in the heart of South Maui's beach culture, you are a block from Kihei's best surf break, across the street from kayak/SUP rentals, and a short walk to more than a dozen great restaurants and a grocery store.
Nature has seen to the spectacular view and soothing ocean, and the loving owners of this well-appointed condo have done the rest. Split system air conditioning tempers Kihei's year-round summer temperatures, ultra-fast internet keeps you connected, and a comfortable king mattress will lull you to sleep and help you prepare for the next day's adventure.
Enjoy Maui's astonishing sunsets, cook full-scale island feasts on the gas grill and fully equipped kitchen, or hang with the gentle, grazing sea turtles you are likely to see right out front. During whale season (November to April), you will have a private front row seat to the antics or launch a kayak from right out front and enjoy a special close-range adventure.
The kitchen features elegant custom bamboo cabinetry, granite surfaces, full sized stainless appliances, microwave, and coffee maker. Upgraded cable streams through a wall-mounted Smart TV.
There is nothing like being beach front on Maui to make your vacation one you will never forget. Your designated parking space and a shared laundry room are just downstairs.

Loved the place- perfect for 2!! Location great!! Everything taken care of in the condo- great little kitchen- just wonderful!!
Great place
The condo was nice and views were incredible. Great stay, will def be back!
This is our 3rd stay at Punahoa. Our first visits were in 1997 and 2000, and we again found this facility and location to be ideal. Located in Kihei, it is an easy walk to restaurants, food carts, the “Snorkel Store”, & of course the ABC store. The condo unit has a beautiful location on the shoreline with well-groomed grounds and wonderful sunset views. It is an easy drive to some of the best beaches for snorkeling, body surfing, & relaxing. The location is a short distance off Kihei Road, so it is quiet and peaceful. Our condo was clean, with a well-equipped kitchen & 2 AC units (bedroom & living room) that could be run separately from one another. Parking is a bit tight, but doable. The management company was communicative and responded quickly to our concerns about a non-working garbage disposal. The Punahoa manager was friendly, and even shared his lumpia with us on the patio one evening. Yes, we would definitely stay here again if we return to Maui.
All was good. Response to AC problem was very prompt.
The condo was well equipped and clean. We were very comfortable. You cannot beat having coffee on the patio as you watch the morning waves crash. Absolutely would stay here again.
Beautiful location
We had a great time at this spot for our week long honeymoon. The views for our nightly sunset were always included and always amazing. We saw whales, turtles, and seals all from the small beach in front of us. The unit is stocked with everything that you’d need and is close to shopping. We would absolutely love to return and stay here again!
Beautiful place on the water, easy parking off the main drag of Kihei Road. Whale watching on your ocean view lanai and every evening it’s the perfect place to catch the sunset.
We booked this condo for its location and view and they did not disappoint! We loved it. The condo is comfortable with all amenities you might need. We knew from the other reviews that the furniture is dated, so it was not a surprise. The couch in the living room need to be replaced and the cabinets in the kitchen fixed. It also would be nice to have more shampoo and conditioner (sample size only was provided), some oil and at least start up coffee pods for the first morning after your arrival. Other than that our stay was wonderful. It's a lovely small condo building right on the snorkeling beach and few steps from sandy beach. We enjoyed watching turtles, whales and surfers from the balcony. The location is very central for Kihei. Loved our stay and would recommend it.
Other than the sofa, which was horrible, everything exceeded our expectations!ĺĺ
We enjoyed this condo and its beautiful view of the ocean and stunning sunsets! Coffee in the morning on the lanai and a glass of wine in the evening was amazing! Very private and quiet location. The condo was spacious for the 2 of us and the king bed was so comfortable! We were able to walk to beaches, restaurants and Three’s for appetizers! Overall everything we were looking for!
We had a wonderful time! Mahalo nui loa.
Above all, great view! Had everything we needed and the property manager was very communicative ahead of our stay. Area definitely is fun and we enjoyed the local restaurants nearby, but not quite as nice as further south in Kihei and especially Wailea. Great time though!
We absolutely loved this location. It is so close to a great beach for beginner surfing and another beach that is perfect for swimming and relaxing.
Location, location! Oceanfront, great views, easy access to beach (couple minute walk), small complex. All beach equipment available. Had all of the necessities for a comfortable stay.

Easy to get to, host was kind/responsive, place was clean.
Oh, we loved this place so much! A friend had recommended it and I don't want to sing its praises too loud, because we definitely want there to be room for us to come back. The location is key!
I’ve stayed at other rentals on the same street on previous trips to Maui and this one is by far my favorite. The property has amazing views and right on the water. Everything was clean and they provided beach chairs and umbrellas. You can snorkel right on the beach in front of the property and the Charlie young beach is only a 2 min walk from here and area is great for beginner surfers. Every amenities you can think of is also a 5 min walk away. Would definitely book this place again. The property management has great communication and we had no problems during our stay at all. If these condos offered other units with more bedrooms, I definitely recommend for a family. We stayed in one of their one bedroom condos.
Loved the location on the water! Easy get anywhere on the island from here. Would definitely go back
Wonderful!
It was a nice place to stay. I will be back
What an amazing stay!
Great location! Beautiful and quiet setting close to the water. It was clean and bed was comfortable. Definitely would stay here again! Mahalo!
GrI at location. Absolutely beautiful views!
We loved the location of this unit and especially loved the ocean view with the high surf in January. Whales were aplenty to watch. Nearness to Kamaole Beaches was an easy walk for morning enjoyment. The unit could use some modernizing in terms of wall decor and furniture. There is no pool. The lanai is a very nice place to enjoy morning coffee and meals. Overall a good place to enjoy.
We visited all corners of the island and this property is about as centrally located as you can be and the view off the balcony is great.
beautiful view, sat on the patio and saw ocean right in front of me. BEAUTIFUL
