Puamana is a special place. Highly recommend Puamana and this townhouse, especially for families. The setting is beautiful, with beautiful and immaculately maintained grounds throughout the entire resort. Puamana is right along the coastline, with direct access to the beach - it was a 1 minute walk from the front door of 145-1 to the sand and waves. Maui Resort Rentals was very responsible and helpful as we settled in.
The townhouse is spacious, homey, and very comfortable. Our family of 4 found that it was plenty of room to unwind and relax, but common areas like the kitchen and the living room were perfect for board games and movie nights. We ended up cooking 75% of our meals in the huge, well-equipped kitchen. Bedrooms were very large, linens were fresh, bathrooms were clean, AC was cold, and the windows let in a ton of light with a beautiful view of the water from the kitchen dining area. There were nice touches that made the townhouse feel like home and not just a vacation rental...plus more than enough bath towels, really great beach towels, beach equipment, shampoo/conditioner/lotion/soap - very convenient and really easy to settle into.
We are pretty adventurous and don't tend to stay at the resort when we vacation, but Puamana was the exception to that. All three pools were great for the family, beach access was really easy, and just taking a walk around the entire 30-acre property was a good time. We did lots of stargazing, sunset watching, and early morning meditation. Plus, you can watch surfers carve up the waves pretty much any time.
