Several dangerous parts of house, my wife had two injuries due to house.
Over 90 degrees in house when we arrived
Ceiling fan outside about to break
Can’t sit at island with bar stools
Black mold in glass

Cockroaches
House needs an audit before anyone else should be allowed to stay here.

The view was beautiful. The lawn and surrounding areas kept clean. Super quiet at night, the sliding doors keep it soundproof. Small little things that need to be fixed here and there. Manager said she would have maintenance address the issues. The manager had the television box changed out by midday of the second day we were there, after we reported the problem. The place could use better blinds and a new bar-b-que. Communicating with the manager was very easy and convenient.

Great location, quiet neighborhood and you can't beat the lanai/backyard/beachfront area. We found the place to be clean and it was nice having 4 bathrooms for 8 people. The host was very responsive with all of our pre-trip questions. The following is not meant to be a complaint but simply an observation: Our group is a rather TALL group of people and we found some of the fixtures in the house to be fit for much smaller people, even moreso than "normal". So, just a literal head's up with the ceiling fan in the master bedroom, the 3rd level bedrooms/bathrooms (attic style ceilings) and the hood vent over the stovetop if you are also tall.

To put it mildly if this was the low point of our trip. For the amount of money we spent per night, I was expecting a high-end vacation villa. What we got was a rental with cockroaches, mice, a broken toilet, moldy bedding and towels, and TV that didn't work. Let's talk about the cockroaches, I understand that near beaches you can get the large cockroaches from outside. We found four in the rental. However, there were also smaller cockroaches which I took pictures of. Terminix came and said that the place, although didn't seem to be infested he absolutely saw a signs of cockroaches. Then there was the mouse that came out to say hi. The bedding and towels were moldy. We had to rewash everything, which cut into vacation time. Having eight people, one a toddler whose potty training, in a house where you now only have three bathrooms instead of four because the toilet runs and floods the kitchen every time you flush it is a major inconvenience. Lastly, the no TV working wouldn't have been an issue if we didn't have said toddler with us. We made it work with tablets but there is a giant TV and she couldn't understand why we couldn't watch her show on the TV. All in all there are a bunch of inconvenient things like no tissues in the house and sweltering heat on the top floor bedrooms. I think the worst part is that the property manager lives in Seattle, so whoever is managing the property locally for her is not doing a good job and she has no visibility.

The property and community in which it is located is beautiful and well maintained. We loved the convenience of walking out on the lanai and directly to beach access. We are a family of 6 adults and 1 child (14 months old) and enjoyed the ease of the townhouse, yard and beach. The community is quiet and located within walking distance to Lahaina dining/shopping district. This location was a great find for our family.

Stunning location. We watched many beautiful sunsets & star gazing. Short walk to the pools. Short drive to Lahaina. We would have liked more outdoor chairs to use on the 2nd floor lani. The switch plate in main bath over sink needs to be fixed as well as the door to the room but, that is minor compared to the location.

Perfect location with spacious lawn and picturesque view of ocean. Clean, no roaches, spiders, ants or vermin. Comfortable beds and linen. Hot water. Nice family space. Big refrigerator. Lots of fry pans and pots, cookie sheets. Needs a bigger baking pan. (We celebrated several birthdays.) Working oven. Working gas grill. Sand toys, games. Big outdoor table we enjoyed breakfast and dinner at. Multiple pool access in quiet community. Short walk to Lahaina. Quick drive to shopping. I would love to come back here.

This property was amazing! A family vacation of 8 adults (4 couples) filled the space without feeling cramped. The lanai and it’s view are simply stunning. And the stackable sliding lanai doors brilliantly create an even larger living space. The listing photos do not showcase just how beautiful this condo is. I was expecting a bit more of a dated feel, so I was pleasantly surprised when we arrived. The condo is comfortably laid out on 3 floors with a smart and creative design that doesn’t feel cramped or like your constantly walking up stairs. The property is meticulously manicured. Picture perfect for all those sunset photos! Diane was a wonderful host. Thanks!!

Location was great. Property not well maintained. Would have opened windows more but screens were gone or ripped where bugs came in at night. Needs an update on bed in second floor room. Very small showers. We took off our shoes before entering house but kept socks on. MISTAKE! Two people fell down the wood steps and one fractured his foot. All on the first day. Range dials in kitchen unreadable and light bulbs burned out in house. Hard to figure light switches. Also blinds in bathroom had large hole in them. Took garbage put every night but still saw two large roaches. Would have been nice to get instructions on TV. Said no connection when we tried it. Disappointed for the amount that was charged per night. Glad we were out most of the time

Puamana Estates is a fantastic community and this condo has a great location and gorgeous view. Truly wonderful on those points! But I felt for the price, the unit itself is in need of some TLC to replace the worn out furniture, kitchen ware, broken blinds, scuffs and scratches etc. It really could be a gem. We appreciated the beach gear and still had a lovely time and enjoyed our stay!

Prenominal view and quiet location toward the end of this complex. A bit far from the pools and clubhouse, but worth the walk. The unit was a bit worn and lacking (Stove was old and difficult to work as the labels on the knobs were worn off and one burner did not always work. Shortage of hand towels and washclothes. but offset by a good accumulation of spices from other visitors. ) All and all it was a beautiful week!

We were blown away at the views from our house! The huge grass area out front was absolutely perfect for hanging with our small children and just watching the waves roll in. The kitchen is small, but great for cooking lots of meals in. The master bedroom was incredible - the view was outstanding, the bed was large and comfy, and the master bath was great. The other three bedrooms are definitely on the smaller side, but didn’t bother the group much. One thing I wasn’t expecting- there were no bath tubs in any of the bathrooms. Not a huge deal, but it does make cleaning the little ones harder! The community the house was in was clean, beautiful, and had very friendly staff, guests/owners. Overall, I’d highly recommend this place to anyone!

The location of this condo is perfect for a family with ages 1 to 88 years old. Having a beautiful lawn and beach access off of the lanai was wonderful. Only glitch was all the bedrooms are upstairs. But fortunately our grandma was comfy sleeping on the sofa and waking up to the chickens and beautiful sunrise. The kitchen had everything we needed and the fridge had an ice maker. Yay. Host Diane was so accommodating and always answered our pre Maui trip questions.
